GregsVice pointed out that Tekkaman Blade, also known as Dangerous Boy or D-Boy, will be one of the four new characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom according to these two Famitsu scans, via Nintendo Everything.

The announcement may come as a surprise, as there's already a Tekkaman in the game, and when you compare the scans to the current Tekkaman's artwork you can see that both characters are similar.

Some have wondered why Famitsu (a Japanese magazine) broke the story, but apparently Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars will also be released in Japan as well, adding the same features, like online match play.

The other three new characters are scheduled to be announced in a few more weeks at the Tokyo Game Show.
