Hayate the Combat Butler is a Taiwanese TV show that is about a protagonist, Hayate, who is broke and in debt because of the debt his parents accumulated while gambling (156.8 million yen or 1.4 million us dollars or 42.9 million New Taiwan Dollar). The big debt causes Hayate to start doing many part time jobs because he wants to help his parents by attempting to pay off their debt. When he runs out of time, to pay off the debt, he considers robbing a rich person, but instead decides to protect them when someone else tried to harm them. In return, the rich person gave him a job as a butler and pays off his debt. Hayate was in a new and unfamiliar place. He had to adjust from his daily civilian life to his new life as a butler for an extremely rich person. Hayate had to improve his house skills to get approval from his master and he had to improve his combat skills to get approval from other butlers. As a rookie butler, Hayate had trouble adjusting to a rich life that is worry-free of debt. When Hayate meets other rich people or other butlers, he try his best to hide the fact that he used to be broke and in debt because he does not want to harm his master’s reputation. This is similar to superman because Clark Kent also trys to hide his true identity from others.
