0-sen Hayato (0戦はやと, Zero-sen Hayato) is one of mangaka Naoki Tsuji's earlier works that was created around 1963-1964[1] and was serialized in the Weekly Shonen King manga magazine. It would later receive an anime adaptation with the same name that aired from January 21st, 1964, until October 27th, 1964. The show aired on the Fuji TV channel at around 6:15-6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays in Japan and was believed to have spanned a total of 38 episodes[2], though in 2022, it was recently discovered that the show had a 39th episode, and was not previously documented in other sites[3]. Though the show ended on October 27th, 1964, it is likely and possible that the show might have had a 40th episode if following its weekly schedule, though the existence of a 40th episode remains unconfirmed.
Each episode was around 15 minutes[4]. This was the earliest animated show produced by P Productions[5], who had worked on various tokusatsu and animes in the 60s, such as Donkikko, and Harris' Whirlwind.[6][2][4]
Plot
There is not much information about and around the plot of the series though what is known is that the series was set around a fictional event that happened in World War II. According to its Japanese Wikipedia page, the story centred around Azuma Hayato, one of the recruited pilots by the Japanese Navy. After an enemy pilot carrier shot down Hayato's father, the series follows Hayato in his pursuit of seeking justice and vengeance against said enemy pilot carrier.
Staff
The series was directed by Kazuo Hoshino and produced by Tomio Sagisu, with music for the series composed by Takeo Watanabe.[7][2]
Cast
There are only a few people who had been known to do voice work in the series that are available on the internet[7], these are the known voice works of:
- Michiru Hojo as Hayato Azuma[7]
- Akira Kono as PO1 Ōyama[7]
- Chikao Ohtsuka as Lt. Miyamoto[7]
- Iemasa Kayumi as Captain Azuma[7]
- Isamu Tanonaka as PO1 Hosokawa[7]

Availability
This anime series never had any physical releases or video software and is, unfortunately, one of the many '60s anime that lacked any preservation and is lost to time. As of 2022, there is only one episode known available to be watched, and said episode is a 22-minute pilot episode of the series that was later derived as the very first episode of the series, entitled "'行け爆風隊" (transl. "Go, Blast Squad"). The reason the pilot episode having known to be one of the two pieces of the 0-sen Hayato anime available online is because it was released on VHS and Betamax tapes by the Japan Home Video Inc. back in 1985.
In addition, the second episode of the series, entitled "大戦果" (transl. "Great War Results"), was allegedly also released on VHS by H.M.P Co. Ltd., a company that focuses on producing various adult videos, though the episode had never resurfaced online and remains uncited in its Wikipedia page.
Aside from these two episodes, no more episodes of the series had been put into other video software or releases and are unlikely to resurface due to the age of the show. In addition, the second piece of the "0-sen Hayato" anime series available is its opening which was also preserved and available after it was included in various VHS and LaserDiscs releases back then.
