East Tokyo United or ETU is the subject of popular Japanese football manga series Giant Killing.
Now in its fifth year, the television series follows the adventures of the sometimes relegation-threatened ETU, its manager Takeshi Tatsumi and several key players.
Because of the popularity of the series, East Tokyo United kit provider adidas has now made replicas of its 2012/13 home shirt available to the public. They are currently only available in Japan despite the shows popularity worldwide via downloadable episodes.
