What Is Ultraman?

Ultraman is a Japanese tokusatsu franchise created by Eiji Tsuburaya, the special-effects pioneer who co-created the original Godzilla in 1954. The first series aired on July 17, 1966, on the Tokyo Broadcasting System and ran for 39 episodes, introducing the template that every later entry has followed: a human host who transforms into a giant alien hero to fight monster-scale threats called kaiju. Tsuburaya Productions has since expanded the franchise to more than 40 distinct Ultraman heroes across over 30 television series, several theatrical films, and the 2024 Netflix animated feature Ultraman: Rising, with total merchandise revenue estimated above $7.4 billion.

What’s Inside This Collection

The Original Ultraman

Strong Ultraman, The Giant Superhero Ultraman, The Ultraman, Ultraman Fight, Ultraman Ready to Fight, Ultraman Punch, Ultraman in the City, and Ultraman Art form the collection’s classic core, depicting the original hero in the silver-and-red design that has defined the franchise since 1966. Designer Tohl Narita drew on Jomon-period pottery and Buddhist imagery to give the character’s oval eyes and elongated head crest a look that reads as both futuristic and traditional.

Ultraman Nexus

Ultraman Nexus covers one of the franchise’s most dramatically ambitious entries, a 2004 to 2005 series that dropped the usual monster-of-the-week format for a single continuous story focused on the psychological cost of the role. Nexus’s darker, more angular design, with deep blue and cool silver replacing the classic warm red, reflects that tonal shift.

Ultraman Ribut

Ultraman Ribut is a Malaysian Ultra Hero, the first created specifically to represent Malaysia in the franchise, first appearing in Ultraman Ginga S in 2014. Ribut means “storm” in Malay, and the design carries wind and storm motifs in deep blue, white, and silver. The character reflects Tsuburaya Productions’ deliberate strategy of developing region-specific heroes for Southeast Asian audiences, where Ultraman holds a cultural presence comparable to Japan’s.

Ultraman Rising

Ultraman Rising, Poster Ultraman Rising, Kenji Sato, Ultraman and Emi, and Ultraman and Emi Fly in the Sky cover the 2024 Netflix film Ultraman: Rising, produced by Industrial Light & Magic and directed by Shannon Tindle and John Aoshima. The film follows Ken Sato, a Japanese-American baseball player who inherits the Ultraman role from his father and raises Emi, an orphaned baby kaiju, alongside it. The pages built around Ultraman holding Emi capture that central relationship, and the film’s 82% Rotten Tomatoes approval reflects the reception of that emotional core.

What These Pages Do

The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and the collection’s mix of simple action poses and more detailed suit designs suits a wide range of skill levels for older fans of the franchise.

A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions. Matching each hero’s specific palette, from classic silver-and-red to Nexus’s cool blue, gives colorists a clear, focused visual problem to solve.

How to Color Ultraman Pages Well

• Classic Ultraman: warm silver, not flat white, as the base body tone, with a slightly darker cool grey in shadow areas for the metallic surface, clean vivid red for the arm stripes and Color Timer panel, and white eyes with a slight warm tint.
• The Color Timer: the chest device can be colored blue for a hero at full strength or red for a critical, flashing moment. Both are correct; the choice signals which point in the fight the page depicts.
• Ultraman Nexus: a darker, cooler palette than the classic hero, deep blue with cool silver rather than warm red and white, with harder edges and more defined shadow to match the more angular design.
• Ultraman in the City: keep the background buildings in muted grey and beige so the warm red and silver hero in the foreground reads as enormous by contrast.
• Ultraman and Emi: Emi is a warm blue-green with lighter patches. Keeping the size contrast, Emi is large but clearly smaller than Ultraman, and the warm-cool color tension between the two carries the relationship that the film builds its design around.

5 Creative Craft Ideas With Ultraman Coloring Pages

1. Wearable Ultraman Mask

Print the Ultraman Mask page on heavy cardstock and color it carefully, warm-tinted white for the eyes, warm grey for the silver face plate, clean red for the accent lines. Cut out the mask and the eye openings with a craft knife, punch a hole on each side at eye level, and thread the elastic cord through both. Gluing a second sheet of cardstock to the back before cutting adds rigidity for a mask that holds up through play.

2. Ultra Series Profile Book

Color one page for each hero in the collection, classic Ultraman, Nexus, Ribut, and Rising, and build a folded profile card for each: hero name, home world, first appearance, signature ability, and Color Timer status. For Kenji Sato, cover the human-host side instead: profession and role in the 2024 film. Bind the cards together with a binder ring for a reference book that doubles as a creative portfolio.

3. Ultraman Birthday Decoration Set

Print the same pages at three sizes, full size for wall banners, half size for bunting, and a quarter size for cupcake toppers, and color all of them in a consistent palette. Mount the full-size pages on poster board, trim the medium pages into pennant-shaped bunting, and attach the small figures to toothpicks for toppers, so all three pieces read as one coordinated set.

4. Ultraman Sticker Set

Print the pages at roughly 35 percent of full size and color them with fine-tip markers, which hold a crisp edge better than colored pencil at a small scale. Apply clear contact paper over the finished page before cutting so each sticker has a protective, finished-looking border, then add double-sided tape to the back.

5. Ultraman vs. Kaiju Diorama

Color the Ultraman in the City and Ultraman Fight pages at full size, then cut and fold a set of simple building shapes from grey and beige cardstock to stand upright as a city skyline. Arrange the buildings on a cardstock base, place the colored Ultraman figure behind them so his scale reads clearly above the rooftops, and add a hand-drawn kaiju for a finished three-dimensional scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

When did the original Ultraman first air and who created it?

Ultraman first aired on July 17, 1966, on the Tokyo Broadcasting System in Japan, created by Eiji Tsuburaya, co-creator of the original 1954 Godzilla film. The series ran for 39 episodes and pioneered the tokusatsu special-effects techniques used throughout the franchise.

What is Nebula M78 and why does it matter?

Nebula M78, also called the Land of Light, is the home world of Ultraman and most other Ultra Heroes in the franchise’s main continuity. It is named after a real reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, roughly 1,600 light-years from Earth.

Who is Ultraman Ribut, and why was he created?

Ultraman Ribut is a Malaysian Ultra Hero developed through a collaboration between Tsuburaya Productions and a Malaysian broadcaster, first appearing in Ultraman Ginga S in 2014. His name means “storm” in Malay, and his creation reflects the franchise’s strategy of developing region-specific heroes for Southeast Asian audiences.

What is Ultraman: Rising, and how does it connect to the franchise?

Ultraman: Rising is a 2024 Netflix animated film produced by Industrial Light & Magic, following Ken Sato, a Japanese-American baseball player who inherits the Ultraman role from his father while raising an orphaned baby kaiju named Emi. It is set in its own continuity, separate from the main television series.

What is the Color Timer, and why does it blink red?

The Color Timer is the circular device on Ultraman’s chest, glowing blue during normal operation and flashing red when his energy runs critically low, typically after about three minutes in Earth’s atmosphere. When it goes out, Ultraman loses his giant form and returns to his human host.

How many different Ultraman heroes exist?

As of 2025, the franchise includes more than 40 distinct Ultraman heroes across over 30 television series, several theatrical films, and animated productions, all managed by Tsuburaya Productions under a shared, if occasionally branching, continuity.

Which Ultraman pages suit which age group?

The classic action pages work well from around age 4 for children who respond to superhero imagery. The Ultraman Mask page is especially popular with ages 5 to 9 who want to wear the finished craft, while the Nexus and detailed suit pages reward the fine motor control that develops around age 7 to 8. The Ultraman: Rising pages, Kenji Sato and Emi, appeal to the younger, broader audience who know the Netflix film rather than the original series.
