My Hero, known as Seishun Scandal (青春スキャンダル, Seishun Sukyandaru; lit. 'Youth Scandal') in Japan, is a 1985 beat 'em up video game developed by Coreland and published by Sega for arcades. The gameplay format is similar to Irem's Kung-Fu Master (1984). In contrast to earlier martial arts games, My Hero departs from a more traditional martial arts setting, instead taking place in a contemporary urban city environment with street gangs, like later beat 'em ups such as Renegade (1986) and Double Dragon (1987). My Hero was later ported to the Master System in 1986.
