RED PACO｜THE ORIGIN

An original Taiwanese East Asian teenage hero IP blending martial arts, sci-fi and fantasy, with strong potential for animation and cross-media development.

Once ruled by the Light Tribe, the planet Kanova falls into crisis when its sun begins to fade and dark forces rise in rebellion. To preserve their bloodline, the royal family launches a secret migration plan, sending Chief Minister Nicholas, his wife Leah, and the legendary warrior Stan to Earth with the last hope of their people.

At the same time, the Eight Elders sense a powerful ancient energy hidden deep within Taiwan’s Central Mountain Range. Known as the Ancient Light Vein, this cosmic force is said to share the same origin as the universe itself and can only be awakened by the true heir of the Light Tribe.

Years later, three brothers—Red, Jimmy, and Jerry—grow up on Earth as ordinary young men, unaware that they are the final descendants of Kanova’s royal bloodline. Red is an artist, Jimmy a detective, and Jerry a rising pop idol. When their dormant Star Core powers suddenly awaken, they are drawn to their father’s hidden base in Canada, where the truth of their origin is revealed.

Training in the Gardens of Kanova, the brothers unlock their unique powers: the Solar Core, the Silent Star Ring, and the Electric Core. Guided by the Star of the Galaxy, Red travels to the Planet of Wonders to face the trials of the Eight Elders and become the chosen heir of the Light Tribe.

But darkness is already closing in on Earth. Red’s rival, the Black Diamond Prince, shares a royal destiny of his own but stands on the opposite side of the war. When King Carson leads the Dark Legion to Earth, the three brothers must fight together for the first time. In this origin story, Red learns that true heroism is not about revenge, but about protecting those he loves. Their battle will decide the fate of both Earth and the Light Tribe.
