Hero achieved the highest Japanese TV drama ratings record in 25 years (average audience share over the entire series = 34.3%). It was so successful that it spawned a 2006 miniseries and a feature film entitled Hero: The Movie which reached #3 on the 2007 top-grossing film chart in Japan.
Starting July 2014, Fuji TV aired a second series entitled Hero 2, which had Takuya Kimura reprising his role.
