Rent-A-Hero (レンタヒーロー) is a Japanese-exclusive RPG developed by Sega AM2 with a large emphasis on humour. It follows Taro Yamada (or "Rent-A-Hero"), a hero for hire that needs to complete various tasks to save the day.
The game borrows the engine used in Phantasy Star III, however instead of turn-based battles enemies are defeated through a versus-fighting system similar to Street Fighter II.
Though mostly unknown to the western world, Rent-A-Hero has been referenced several times across Sega products, including Fighters Megamix in which Taro is an unlockable character.
The game was remade for the Sega Dreamcast as Rent-A-Hero No. 1. It has also been re-released as part of the Wii's Virtual Console service in Japan.
A preliminary fan translation was released in 1998 by the Eidlon Translation Group. In 2010, a romhacking.net user named Paul Jenkins announced a full translation, which may be finished soon.
