Kekkō Kamen (けっこう仮面, Kekkō Kamen) is an adult rated anime series from Japanese creator Go Nagai. The series tells about the misadventures of a student named Takahashi Mayumi who is attending a boarding school run by sexual predators. The school is called "Toenail of Satan's Spartan Institute of Higher Education". The teachers are constantly looking for ways to torture or humiliate the students, and from this the teachers derive some sexual satisfaction. Takahashi's only protection is from a mysterious figure known as Kekkō Kamen.

Kekkō Kamen is a female superhero whose costume consists solely of red boots, red gloves and a red mask with long red bunny-ear trailers. Her fighting style is graceful, and her finishing move involves her driving the opponent to the ground with a flying headscissors takedown which presses her groin into the victim's face.

Kekkō Kamen is a parody of hentai, as well as of the classic Japanese superhero, Moonlight Mask (the name, especially, is a pun of Moonlight Mask's Japanese name, "Gekkō Kamen"). As well as the similarity in name, each is a character whose true identity is never given away, and each episode ends with amusing songs. These songs are sometimes written by Nagai.

Seven live-action films have been made of Kekkō Kamen. A photobook series has also been made using a martial artist to pose in Kekkō Kamen style. A sequel photobook series featuring Kekkō Kamen's daughter, Kurenai Kamen, has also been made.
