Air Master (Japanese: エアマスター, Hepburn: Ea Masutā) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yokusaru Shibata. It was serialized in Hakusensha's seinen manga magazine Young Animal from 1996 to 2006, with its chapters collected in 28 tankōbon volumes. The story focuses on Maki Aikawa, an ex-gymnast turned street fighter.
A twenty-seven episode anime television series adaptation animated by Toei Animation was broadcast on Nippon TV from April to October 2003. It was licensed in North America through a partnership between Toei and Geneon USA; however, only a few episodes of the series were released in the region before the cancellation of the deal, which was due to the poor quality and large number of DVD returns to Geneon. Since then, the series has been made available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
