Is this where they got the name/idea for the superhero? Kenny Lauderdale has a good video about him on Youtube, though the cigarette brand wasn't mentioned if I remember (which I probably don't).

edit: looks like wiki doesn't even have an article on the superhero, only the cigarette brand.

edit: The wiki page is under the japanese name of "Ogon bat".

Apparently he was named after the cigarette band, according to this one archived article.

Gotta love Kenny's videos! I too immediately had the same thought, good to know it's kinda confirmed

I genuinely enjoyed following you down that rabbit hole.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has to gather their thoughts like this to confirm a cloudy memory.
