Read more about Porco Rosso at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hiyai Miyazaki is a 1992 Japanese animated adventure film written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli. The plot revolves around an Italian World War I ex-fighter ace, now living as a freelance bounty hunter chasing "air pirates" in the Adriatic Sea. However, an unusual curse has transformed him to an anthropomorphic pig. Once called Marco Pagot, he is now known to the world as "Porco Rosso", Italian for "Crimson Pig". The film is loosely based on Miyazaki's manga Hikōtei Jidai. The film, set in the Adriatic Sea in the interwar period, begins with the titular character Porco Rosso, a veteran WWI fighter ace and freelance bounty hunter, responding to an alert over an attack on a ferry liner by airborne pirates. Having successfully defeated the pirates, the so-called Mamma Aiuto gang, Porco retires to the Hotel Adriano, which is run by his long-time friend Gina.
Porco Rosso has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
