Ultraman (ウルトラマン, Urutoraman?) is a Japanese Tokusatsu Television series that first aired in 1966. Ultraman is a follow-up to the television series Ultra Q, though not technically a sequel or spin-off. The show was produced by Tokyo Broadcasting System and Tsuburaya Productions, and was broadcast on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) from July 17, 1966 to April 9, 1967, with a total of 39 episodes (40, counting the pre-premiere special that aired on July 10, 1966).
Although Ultraman is the first series to feature an Ultra-Crusader, it is actually the second show in the Ultra Series. Ultra Q was the first. In fact, Ultraman opens with the Ultra Q logo exploding into the Ultraman logo. Ultraman ultimately became a major pop culture phenomenon in Japan. The shows success spawned dozens of sequels, spin-offs, imitators, parodies and remakes.
To distinguish him from subsequent Ultra-Crusaders, Ultraman is referred to as the Original Ultraman (初代ウルトラマン, Shodai Urutoraman?), The First Ultraman, or Ultraman Hayata (a reference to his host's surname).

comic book maze.
Failed to be textbook great.
Just glad to collaborate.
Straight from my soldiers pack.
I line them up to fight, the stories not right.
My ultraman has fallen down,
his light is flashing on the ground!
Blazing through channels to see who the winner might be?
Get dressed to fool someone's mind,
where the teacher might see.
