Tsuburaya Productions’ Ultraman, commonly known as the Ultra Series, is the umbrella term for any media starring Ultraman, its many brethren, and the various Ultra Monsters. The Ultra Series, including the Toei-produced series Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and the Metal Heroes, is one of the most well-known tokusatsu superhero genre creations from Japan, having debuted with Ultra Q and subsequently Ultraman in 1966.
Ultraman is the second instalment in the Ultra Series, following Ultra Q, and is the first to include an Ultraman character. The Japanese show begins with the Ultra Q logo blowing up into the Ultraman logo, symbolizing this. Ultraman and its eponymous hero spawned a slew of sequels, spin-offs, imitators, parodies, and tributes in Japan.

The story of the show goes like this, When extraterrestrial invaders and huge monsters threaten the Earth, the world turns to the Research Special Search Party, a special anti-monster defence organization armed with high-tech weapons and vehicles to battle these unknown threats.
When the Science Patrol’s weaponry fails and all hope is lost, one of their members, Shin Hayata, turns into a gigantic alien known as Ultraman to combat the horrific threat menacing the Earth, unbeknownst to the other Science Patrol members.

About Ultraman
Due to the protagonist’s colour scheme, the show’s title was changed to Redman in January 1966. The show was unanimously cleared for production the following month. Redman lands on Earth as a refugee after attackers destroy his home planet in this version. Together, Redman and officer Sakomizu protect the Earth against gigantic monsters and alien invaders.
This version also included a “Flashbeam,” a prototype of the Beta Capsule that looked like a futuristic fountain pen. TBS proposed casting performers who looked as Western as possible throughout the casting process in order to appeal to international audiences.
