A Super-team gathered by Japanese businessmen to fight crime and right
wrongs on Japanese TV. Naturally, they did a bit of REAL super-heroing for
PR reasons, but with the death of Yin, the series was cancelled and the
team has scattered, gathering in California to bask in their newfound popularity
in the States. They now do voices for an animated series in California and
have editorial rights on the manga that is still selling in Japan. They
are a bizarre team, sort of the `pre-fab four' of superteams, gathered together
for the convenience of their powers (the 5 Japanese elements and Yin and
Yang are represented by the Seven). Yang is the only
member remaining in Japan, with each of the others having good reason to
leave Japan, whether from being unwelcome there or simply uncomfortable
in the role of performer.

It was the untimely death of this young woman (on a secret mission for Shima
Matsuo) that led to the executive decision to cancel the show. The twins,
Yin & Yang, were successful enough that they scheduled to spin-off into
their own program, with only occasional cross-overs. Only 4 episodes were
completed before her death & they were never aired, instead being available
only to serious collectors for fantastic sums...
