キャノンダンサー
[b]Osman[/b], released in Japan as [b]Cannon-Dancer[/b] (キャノンダンサー), is a side-scrolling 2D action platforming video game produced by Mitchell Corporation (which later became part of ATLUS). It was released exclusively as a coin operated [[arcade]] video game in 1996. 

The game's director, "Yotsui Kouichi":http://strider.wikia.com/wiki/Isuke (credited as [i]Isuke[/i]), was also the director of the original arcade version of [[Strider (video game)|]] and Osman is often referred to as [i]"more Strider-like than Capcom's Strider 2"[/i]. In contrast to Strider's futuristic [[Kazakhstan|Kazakh]]-Neo[[Soviet]] setting, Osman is set in a neon-lit [[cyberpunk]] [[Arabia]]n setting, while [[Strider Hiryuu]] is replaced by a Middle Eastern protagonist named [i]Osman[/i] ([i]Kirin[/i]) who fights without any weapons.
