What happens
The Burning Wild Man (Japanese: 燃える! お兄さん, Hepburn: Moeru! Onii-san; lit. 'Burning Older Brother') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tadashi Satō. It was serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 1991, with its chapters collected in 19 tankōbon volumes. It was later adapted into an anime series by Studio Pierrot. The 24-episode series aired on Nippon Television from March 1988 to September 1988. Kenichi Kokuho (国宝ケンイチ, Kokuhō Ken'ichi) became lost in the mountains as a small child. A foster father raised Kenichi; when Kenichi was 15 the foster father told Kenichi about his background and the teenager returned to the civilized world at age 15. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
