To commemorate the "Ultraman Series" reaching its 60th anniversary, Japan's Kodansha is releasing a luxurious commemorative book titled "TV Magazine Special Edition: Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary Complete Ultraman Record Compendium." This full-color volume compiles 60 years of the series' works and invaluable visual materials, spanning from "Ultra Q" and "Ultraman" all the way to the latest installment, "Ultraman Deo." The book officially launched on August 7, 2026, priced at 16,500 JPY (tax included).
Beyond organizing the various Ultramen by series, the book delves into each work's detailed planning concepts, worldview, and storylines. It also covers the intricate settings for Ultramen, defense teams, mecha, monsters, and aliens. In addition to the "Ultraman Series," the compendium features over 30 classic Tsuburaya Productions tokusatsu titles, including "Kaiju Booska," "Mirrorman," "Fireman," and "Jumborg Ace." This makes it an incredibly comprehensive resource for fans eager to revisit the entire history of Tsuburaya tokusatsu development.
To celebrate the book's release, an official commemorative event is underway, offering 30 lucky readers an autographed photo from actor Koji Moritsugu, who famously portrayed Dan Moroboshi in "Ultraseven."
