Sacred Guardian Singa is a live-action Singapore superhero character
in development by tokuAsia Pictures

Original concept artwork by Shaun Kok (2010)

Ultraman, Superman, Kamen Rider and Captain America.

These are just some of the names of superheroes from Japan and the USA that have become household names in their countries and the world.

Singa is our Singapore entry into a long-running pantheon of global superheroes that have dazzled the world for decades.

This is an epic Singapore superhero story that fuses the heart of classic Tokusatsu superhero TV shows, the mysticism of ancient Southeast Asian culture and the distinct sensibilities that revolve around our unique Singapore identity.

Why make a superhero?

We are superhero fans.
​A dream we dream together is a reality. The dream inspired to become filmmakers and start our own production company.

Superheroes inspire.
​The power to influence goodness and motivate people, especially the children of today, to achieve their dreams tomorrow.

Singapore needs an iconic superhero.
​We are facing an era of uncertainty as a nation. A Singapore superhero can lead the way and unite our people ​in facing these challenges together.

Superheroes sell.
Superhero media and character licensing are extremely profitable global markets that Singapore has yet to make a serious attempt at.

​About the Project

Sacred Guardian Singa began in 2006 as Project LEO, a fanfilm project led by tokuAsia, a Singapore Tokusatsu hobby group. Due to lack of experience, the project did not take off.

However, the desire of some of the members to see this project through inspired them to continue learning filmmaking, leading to the formation of tokuAsia Pictures, a production company, in 2012.

Seven years on, the company has built up its expertise in storytelling & production, in business and its network, and is now ready to take on the mammoth task of making its dream to produce a Singapore superhero a reality.

Community Outreach and Media Coverage

Since 2017, the team has been recruiting new members and speaking about the project to the community and members of the public at community events and online.

We launched our first and second teaser posters in January and February which received fairly wide attention on social media platforms like Facebook and Reddit, with a reach of more than 30x our total number of Facebook followers (with zero ad spend). Countries reached include Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan and the USA. Our first community livestream Q&A was watched by more than a thousand people.

Singa received its first broadcast media coverage in April 2019 when MediaCorp Channel 8 aired a segment about the tokuAsia community on its Morning Express program. The Facebook upload of the program was viewed by more than 20,000 people.

How can I contribute to this project?

SOCIAL & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP

Singa was created to give hope to children, and he will be available for appearances and meet-and-greet sessions at charitable foundations and fundraising events that are aimed at empowering children in need, at zero cost.

This Program is temporarily unavailable and will be reinstated soon.
