Iron Kid

Iron Kid (or Eon Kid) is an animated television series produced by Daewon C.I. and Design Storm in South Korea and BRB Internacional and Televisión Española in Spain.

The series is known as Iron Kid (Korean: 아이언 키드) in South Korea, and is broadcast under that name in Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom and Ireland.[citation needed] It is broadcast as Eon Kid in the United States and other English-speaking countries.[citation needed]

The series premiered in Korea on KBS2 on April 6, 2006, and on TVE in late 2006. In the United States, it is distributed by Manga Entertainment and premiered on The CW's Saturday morning Kids' WB block on September 22, 2007.

The Eon family is the legendary family that defeated the General. Only Eon, Marty, and his father have been mentioned, but all members are great warriors and martial artists. The General's forces wiped out the family through the years, leaving Marty as the sole blood heir to the family legacy. Their ancestral home is a huge fortress surrounded by a bamboo forest. Underneath the home is the family's ancestral training ground that includes wood training drones and tests to hone the family's martial arts skills. The home has fallen into great disrepair since the death of Marty's father.
