My Hero, known as Seishun Scandal (青春スキャンダル, Seishun Sukyandaru; lit. 'Youth Scandal') in Japan, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game released by Sega for arcades in 1985 and for the Master System on January 31, 1986. It was designed by Kotaro Hayashida.
The gameplay format is similar to Irem's Kung-Fu Master, released in 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).
