Cutie Honey (キューティーハニー Kyūtī Hanī, also spelled Cutey Honey) is a Japanese media franchise created by Go Nagai. Cutie Honey first appears on volume 41 of the 1973 edition of Shōnen Champion.[citation needed] According to Nagai, she is the first female to be the protagonist of a shōnen manga series.
Honey Kisaragi is a regular Catholic schoolgirl, until the day her father is murdered by the "Panther Claw" organization. After his death, she learns she is actually an android created by him and within her is a device that can "create matter from the air" (空中元素固定装置 kūchū genso kotei sôchi, variously translated as "[atmospheric] element condenser mechanism", "Fixed System of Air Elements","Airborne Element Solidifier", etc.). With her cry of "Honey Flash!" she can use the device to transform into the sword-wielding red-haired superhero, Cutie Honey.This device, or similar devices, have been used to explain her powers in all later Honey versions.
