The Story: Ultraman
The story of Ultraman began in 1966 when Tsuburaya Productions introduced the Silver Giant from the Land of Light to television screens across Japan. Created by legendary special effects master Eiji Tsuburaya, the franchise built upon the foundations laid by Ultra Q, transitioning from mystery-driven creature feature stories into an enduring superhero chronicle. Over six decades, the series has produced more than 50 distinct television series, feature films, and special broadcasts, establishing a vast mythology that spans the Showa, Heisei, and New Generation eras.
The 60th Anniversary Exhibition serves as a comprehensive visual chronicle of this universe. Visitors navigate chronological zones detailing the evolution of special effects techniques, suit construction, and miniature set design. The displays bring together original production props, life-sized hero statues, detailed monster models (kaiju), and screen-used defense force gear from across every era of the franchise. Immersive 3D video installations recreate iconic battle sequences, while dedicated photo spots allow guests to stand alongside generations of Ultra Heroes. The Kitakyushu staging at Space LABO carries additional local resonance, celebrating the area’s history as a setting featured in the 2002 film Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact.
Experiencing this exhibition live in Japan offers an irreplaceable look into the craft of Japanese live-action special effects. Unlike static gallery displays, Japanese tokusatsu exhibitions emphasize atmosphere, utilizing full-scale physical dioramas, dramatic lighting, and actual film artifacts that reveal the meticulous hand-crafted art behind suit acting and miniature filming.
