The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo

The Steel Samurai: Warrior of Neo Olde Tokyo was a popular show and franchise created by Global Studios. The show was directed by Sal Manella, was produced by Dee Vasquez and starred Will Powers as the titular protagonist, the Steel Samurai, and Jack Hammer as the antagonist, the Evil Magistrate.

The franchise was promoted by various goods such as trading cards. Among its fans are Cody Hackins and Maya Fey.

The show abruptly ended after Hammer was murdered. Powers was initially accused; Phoenix Wright defended him in court and came to the conclusion that Vasquez was the real killer and that Manella was an accomplice. He would come to adopt the theme as his cellphone's ringtone after the trial.

During the investigation of Hammer's murder, Maya Fey inspired Manella to create ideas for a sequel, The Pink Princess. Global Studios made this sequel a reality shortly after the conclusion of the case, with Powers starring once again as the titular protagonist.

After The Pink Princess, Global Studios created another sequel, The Nickel Samurai, starring Matt Engarde.
