Kuri Kinton is an Action Arcade Game by Taito, inspired by the likes of Dragon Ball and Fist of the North Star.
A senior police officer and his daughter have been kidnapped by a gang, and have been tracked to an Elaborate Underground Base. The police, rather than send in the SWAT team, or get help from some special ops team, have elected to instead send in a single man in a red gi with a white headband. Luckily, this guy is a martial arts expert who can shoots energy blasts from his hands. So, his mission set, the man heads out to the base to begin the rescue mission.
The game was released in 1988.
