Since 1966, Ultraman has been protecting Earth from kaiju-sized threats, alien invaders, and the occasional interdimensional menace. Originally created by Eiji Tsuburaya, one of the masterminds behind Godzilla, Ultraman became a cultural icon in Japan and beyond, launching the “Ultra Series” and influencing countless other tokusatsu (special effects-heavy) heroes over the decades.

The franchise is known for its towering red-and-silver hero who can only stay giant-sized for a few minutes at a time, adding an exciting ticking clock to every battle. Across TV shows, movies, manga, and video games, Ultraman has fought everything from classic rubber-suit monsters to sleek CGI kaiju, constantly evolving while staying true to its roots.

A recent Netflix anime adaptation has introduced Ultraman to a whole new generation of fans worldwide, while collectible lines like Blokees have brought his battles to life in detailed, display-worthy form. Whether you’re here for nostalgic monster-smashing or cutting-edge reinterpretations, Ultraman continues to shine brighter than the Color Timer on his chest.
