Though Your Mouth Is Static, Still We Learn



The United States has Superman, Japan has Ultraman. Born from the ashes of 60s Twilight Zone alike Ultra Q, Ultraman has been growing thousand fold and kicking heads for over 40 years.

There is a gentler side to this titanic science patrol policeman:

When not battling skyscraper scraping rubber monsters, Ultraman takes it to the streets - dispensing sound road safety advice (beat up people who do things WRONG) and plowing a keen line in Hawaiian micro-strumming.

Ultraman, is there any end to your gifts?

As seen on Jonathan Ross' BBC3 Japanorama series.
