Photo Hunt - Different, Kotonatta
Mar 8th, 2008 by Neil
This weeks theme in The Photo Hunt is Different or Kotonatta (ことなった) in Japanese.
Ultraman (ウルトラマン Urutoraman) is a fictional character featured in tokusatsu, or “special effects” television programs. Ultraman made his debut in the tokusatsu SF/kaiju/superhero TV series, Ultraman, a follow-up to the television series Ultra Q. The show was produced by Tsuburaya Productions and was broadcast on TBS.
Here’s a photo i took of Ultraman last year, he looks decidely different in the comics than he does in real life.
To distinguish him from subsequent Ultra Warriors, Ultraman is referred to as the original Ultraman (初代ウルトラマン Shodai Urutoraman), the first Ultraman, Ultraman Hayata (a reference to his host’s surname) or as simply Man.
Although Ultraman is the first series to feature an Ultra-being, this is actually the second Ultra Series. Ultra Q was the first. A major pop culture phenomenon in Japan, the show has spawned dozens of imitators as well as numerous sequels and remakes, which continue to be popular today.

The Ultraman in both the pictures looks different from the Ultraman I know from the one who appeared in one of my favorite TV series when I was a child!
Great post! Love the Ultraman in real life. How were you able to sneak up on him and capture his picture? Happy hunting!
Thanks for stopping by. Interesting different post. ; )
I was never into Ultraman, but each time I watched it I liked the episode. It came before Power Rangers right?
What a big difference from reel to real! He is one funny Ultraman, posing like that. Cool!
this is a very nice picture, just keep it up and enjoy your weekend!!! check mine also in here PHOTOHUNTER!
hahaha! very interesting entry.
cheers!
Interesting!! How is it having lunch with a superhero???
I was on Okinawa for three years in the 1960’s, I loved it.
Intereting post. I always watched Ultraman in local broadcast since he is my nephew’s favorite superhero. But now he does not always watch again as he grow up.
