Background Hero Communications Co, Ltd. (Kanji Name: ヒーローコミュニケーションズ) was the international parent company of L.A. Hero Incorporated specializing in releasing japanese animation internationally in Japan. Because of the low sales of L.A. Hero Incorporated, the parent company probably ended up like the said other company. With that said, all involving Hero Communications and its US Distributor L.A. Hero Incorporated was shut down in the mid 90s.

(1992-1994?)

Logo: Pretty much the same as the second L.A. Hero logo, except it only says "Herø" as the dots merge into a line, a flashing ball of gust, and "COMMUNICATIONS" zooms in cheaply and the gust stops flashing.

Technique: The letters and dots moving with the dots connecting a line, the ball of gust flashing and Communications zooming in. The ball of light disappearing.

Music/Sounds: A much different theme based on the 2nd L.A. Herø logo has been heard.

Availability: Ultra rare, now bordering on extinct. It can be seen on international prints of L.A. Hero anime and possible other content. It first appeared on Bagi, the Monster of Mighty Nature.

Legacy: Better animation this time than its U.S. division.
