Spectreman (スペクトルマン Supekutoruman) is a tokusatsu sci-fi TV series produced by P Productions, created by producer Souji Ushio and starring Tetsuo Narikawa. The series aired on Fuji Television Network, Inc. from January 2, 1971, to March 25, 1972, totaling 63 episodes divided into three segments, not including the pre-series pilot episode. This was the first major superhero show of the 1970s.

The first segment, titled Space Apeman Gori (宇宙猿人ゴリ - Uchû Enjin Gori), comprised the first 21 episodes. The second segment, Space Apeman Gori Vs. Spectreman (宇宙猿人ゴリ対スペクトルマン - Uchû Enjin Gori tai Supekutoruman), included episodes 22 through 39. The final segment was simply titled Spectreman (スペクトルマン - Supekutoruman).

Production[]

Pre-Production[]

Ambassador Magma[]

Ambassador Magma (マグマ大使, lit., Maguma Taishi) is a 1966 tokusatsu television series produced by Tomio Sagisu's P-Productions and based on the manga by Osamu Tezuka. It is noted as Japan's very first tokusatsu series to be featured in color, beating out Tsuburaya Productions' Ultraman by one week. This show was a massive hit for the company. But the rights to Ambassador Magma were held by Osamu Tezuka and the company hasn't revisited the property ever since. Though this inspired them to create more tokusatsu projects

Kaiju Ouji[]

Kaiju Ouji (怪獣王子, Kaijūōji), also known as The Monster Prince, Wild Prince, Dinosaur Prince, and Monster Prince, is a 1967 kaiju/tokusatsu series produced by P Productions. It was the company's first major original tokusatsu project following Ambassador Magma. The show lasted for 26 episodes. The remaining funds after its run were used to create the Jaguar-Man pilot.

Jagaurman[]

Jaguar-Man (豹（ジャガー）マン, Jagā Man) is an unaired tokusatsu TV pilot produced by P Productions, first shown in August 1967. Although the pitch was rejected, elements from Jaguar-Man—such as the golden mask and the requirement to ask for permission to transform—later served as foundational concepts for Spectreman. This unaired Pilot was also the comapany's first Kyodai Hero project. It is also important to note that the popular Spectreman monsters Midoron and Zeron appeared in this Pilot first though the ladder was called Mandora while the former was called Great Magumon.

Leopardman[]

Hyo-Man (豹（ひょう）マン, Hyō Man, "Leopard-Man") is a 1967 unaired tokusatsu TV pilot produced by P-Productions. While the show does not have any direct ties to Spectreman, the promotional material for the cancelled series shows the titular hero battling Midoron (still called Magumon).

The Space Giants[]

In September 1970, Ambassador Magma was adapted in the United States by Bernard H. Schulman's Lakeside Television Company as The Space Giants (and in some English-speaking countries like the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa, Space Avenger). This successful endeavor would inspire P Productions to allow Richard L. Rosenfeld to adapt Spectreman in 1978.

The Pilot[]

Sometime in the middle of 1970, Souji Ushio and P Productions created a pilot for a series called Spectreman. To play the main character of Jouji Gamou, they hired actor Jiro Dan, who would later go on to play Hideki Go in the Ultra franchise. While the plot and lore of the pilot remained true to the official series, there were many key differences.

The suit used to portray Dr. Gori in the pilot would later be used to portray Karras in the first batch of episodes. The pilot also explored much more of Planet E and its culture. Nebula 71 did not work for any higher organization, and Jouji was working in a shop instead of being a member of the Pollution Research and Control Squad. After this pilot, Jiro Dan immediately went into production on Return of Ultraman.

Development[]

Spectreman's central characters were created by Souji Ushio (also known as Tomio Sagisu), the founder of P Productions and producer of all tokusatsu projects created by the company up to that point. Ushio was most known for his work on Ambassador Magma and Kaiju Ouji. The first batch of episodes (Episodes 1-12) had the highest budgets, though still not enough for each episode to feature a main monster of the week. Instead, a two-part system was implemented, with scripts written as 45-50 minute episodes and split into two episodes later on.

The show was heavily inspired by Ultraman (1966) and later on by Ultraseven and the recently released Return of Ultraman by Tsuburaya Productions. Spectreman's design underwent significant changes during development, though the concept art has been lost.

Concept Art

Unlike traditional Kyodai hero shows of the time, Souji Ushio did not want his show to focus on a military-like attack team. Instead, he envisioned a realistic group comprised of people willing to fight against pollution. This concept was modified in later batches to make the Pollution Research and Control Squad more confrontational with their enemies, especially after episodes featuring aid activities were the highest-rated among children.

The focus on pollution was decided due to the changing landscape and public opinion on the matter after 1970. [Add more information here]. Ushio wanted to address this issue, making it the central theme of the monsters and threats in the first few batches of episodes. However, as the budget decreased, the show shifted to featuring threats based on aliens, ancient monsters, cyborgs, and other concepts, only touching on the pollution theme.

The designs for most, if not all, of the monsters were created by veteran P Productions concept artist Zenjiro Ono. He may have also redesigned Spectreman, but the details remain unclear.

Filming[]

Spec vs Dust

Spectreman vs Dustman

In late 1971, P Productions began the official filming of Spectreman. Suit actors Koji Uenishi, famous for playing Ultraseven, and Eiichi Kikuchi, known for portraying Ultraman Jack, took up the role of Spectreman. Tetsuo Narikawa himself choreographed most of Spectreman's fight scenes. After the first batch of episodes, Eiichi Kikuchi left to portray Ultraman Jack, and Koji Uenishi transitioned to portraying Karas more frequently than Spectreman.

The Pollution Research and Control Squad was portrayed by Toru Ohira, Takamitsu Watanabe, Kazuo Arai, Koji Ozaki, and Machiko Konishi, respectively. Filming was primarily conducted near the Nagai and Hakone areas.

The crew used 35mm film to shoot the footage, with special effects scenes filmed on specialized sets. Takanobu Toya served as the suit actor for Dr. Gori throughout the entire series, while Koji Uenishi consistently portrayed Lla 2 [Karas]. In Episodes 1-11, Dr. Gori's voice was provided by Kiyoshi Kobayashi. The footage of Planet E in the first episode was repurposed from the pilot, as mentioned earlier, with the pilot suit for Gori being repurposed for Karas.

Suitmation[]

The Ultraman series pioneered the use of various monster costumes, known as "kaiju" in Japan, before other series like Kamen Rider and Himitsu Sentai Gorenger adopted similar approaches. The principal kaiju roles were often played by renowned monster suit actor Haruo Nakajima, who originally portrayed Godzilla. In Spectreman. Tetsuo Narikawaportrayed Jouji Gamou largely due to Narikawa's expertise as a grandmaster of martial arts. Narikawa also choreographed the fights.

Narikawa's martial arts background greatly influenced the portrayal of Spectreman's fighting style, leading to the decision to have Spectreman utilize martial arts when battling humanoid kaiju. Throughout the series, Spectreman employed various Japanese martial arts, including Karate, Taekwondo, and wrestling.

The production often recycled and modified monster costumes due to budget constraints. For example, the costumes of monsters such as Magulah and Alien Satans were repurposed as Moonthunder and Alien Miguel's soldiers, respectively, sometimes with nothing more than a coat of spray paint and an additional prop. The high cost of repairing the scale model cities and landscapes used for battle scenes necessitated careful planning, which is why kaiju battles in the latter part of the series were primarily set in urban mountain areas.

Special Effects[]

Spectreman's special effects were a hallmark of the series, highlighting the creativity and resourcefulness of the production team. The show made extensive use of meticulously crafted miniatures to depict the cityscapes where epic battles took place. These miniature sets were often subjected to explosive pyrotechnics, simulating the destructive power of the kaiju clashes and adding a dynamic, larger-than-life quality to the scenes. The use of explosions and smoke effects heightened the drama and realism of these battles, creating a vivid contrast between the towering monsters and the crumbling urban environments. Additionally, the series employed impressive beam effects to illustrate Spectreman's energy-based attacks, with bright, colorful rays and flashes that became signature elements of the hero's arsenal. Despite the constraints of the era, these special effects combined to create a visually striking and memorable experience that left a lasting impact on viewers.

The pyrotechnics used in Spectreman were crucial in bringing the show's battles to life, but they also presented significant risks. The explosions and fire effects, while visually spectacular, sometimes posed a danger to the suit actors portraying the kaiju and Spectreman. The intense heat and sudden blasts could cause injuries. A notable incident includes the monster Mogunetudon.

Impact[]

Following its broadcast, Spectreman gained significant popularity, particularly before the release of Return of Ultraman and Kamen Rider. Even as these more prominent shows eventually took the spotlight, Spectreman maintained a dedicated audience. However, declining viewership ultimately led to the show's cancellation. Despite this, the success of Spectreman was pivotal in stabilizing P Productions, enabling them to produce other tokusatsu television series, including:

Although Spectreman was eventually canceled, it remained a cult classic within the tokusatsu genre. Producer Souji Ushio wished to continue the series, but negotiations with Fuji TV were unsuccessful.

Spectreman Going Home

In 1978, the English dub of Spectreman was syndicated across many broadcasting channels in North America. The show became particularly popular among children in the early 1980s. A Spanish and Portueguese dub was also produced in the 1980s, where it gained significant popularity. Today, much of the Spectreman fanbase resides in South America.

In the 21st century, Spectreman is primarily remembered by dedicated tokusatsu fans and adults who grew up watching the show. The series gained renewed attention among Godzilla fans in December 2023, thanks to the YouTuber known as Godzilla Guy.

Synopsis[]

Sent by the Nebula 71 Star (Nebula 71 is a planet but often mistakenly referred to as a Star) to protect Earth, a super-cyborg known as Spectreman battles mutated, pollution and cyborg monsters created by the malevolent Space Apemen Dr. Gori and Karas (Rah in the Japanese).

Plot[]

Banished from the peaceful simian Planet E, the mad scientist Dr. Gori and his brutish assistant Karas [Lla in the Japanese version] search for a new planet to rule after Gori's plot to conquer Planet E is foiled by its government. They come across Earth, and while Gori is captivated by its beauty, he is appalled by its inhabitants' misuse of the environment, leading to severe pollution—a significant issue when this series was made, as Tokyo was the most polluted city in the world at the time. Gori decides that mankind must be quickly conquered for the planet to be habitable, ironically plotting to use the very pollution plaguing Earth to create horrible giant rampaging monsters to wipe out and/or enslave humanity.

Fortunately, hope arrives in the form of the planet of Nebula 71, a Saturn-like artificial satellite observing Earth incognito. Unknowing of Dr. Gori's presence on the planet, they dispatch Spectreman, one of their finest agents, to battle the menace of the mad apeman. Spectreman disguises himself as a Japanese man named Jôji Gamô to walk among humans and scout out Gori's weekly threats for Nebula 71 and it's superior, the Universal Federation. He works with the 8th Branch of the Pollution Investigation Bureau called the Pollution Research and Control Squad, led by Chief Shigeo Kurata. This group investigates phenomena involving pollution, but they don't (until late in the show's run) have the facilities to handle giant monsters. Unbeknownst to them, their comical-yet-mysterious teammate Jôji disappears only to help them as Spectreman!

As the series concludes, Dr. Gori is ultimately defeated and driven to face Spectreman by himself in the last episode. While the hero tries to convince Gori that his remarkable intelligence should be used for good rather than for destruction and tyranny, Gori ultimately commits suicide, declaring that he would rather die than be denied his supremacy over Earthlings.

Japan release[]

Spectreman first premiered on January 2nd, 1971, on the Fuji Television Network, Inc. Releasing before contemporary shows like Return of Ultraman and Kamen Rider, it opened to critical acclaim. The first three kaiju of the series (Hedoron, Midoron and Zeron) became the show's most popular monsters. It aired weekly during supper time, targeting children free from schoolwork and sitting down to dinner with their parents, ensuring maximum viewership.

The show was divided into three parts the first segment, titled Space Apeman Gori was comprised the first 21 episodes. The second segment, Space Apeman Gori Vs. Spectreman, included episodes 22 through 39. The final segment was simply titled Spectreman. Despite going through 3 title changes the show was always meant to be called "Spectreman"

Various companies created cards and other merchandise themed around the show, and critics praised its pollution-centric concept. Kadokawa Shoten even produced a Spectreman manga tie-in by mangaka Kazumine Daiji. However, due to health issues of Machiko Konishi, the actress playing Rie "Rita" Endo, she was replaced by another actress around the time the second batch of episodes was being filmed.

By September of the same year, the show's popularity dwindled, prompting producer Souji Ushio to transform the Pollution Research and Control Squad into the Monster G-Men, a team similar to Ultraman's attack teams. While officially called the Pollution G-Men from the beginning in Japanese, they became known as the Monster G-Men.

The second-to-last batch of episodes received positive feedback, allowing the show to continue until March of the next year. Eventually, the show ended with its last episode on March 25th, which some found underwhelming. Over the next few years, Spectreman was released on home video in Japan, but merchandise was limited. P Productions shifted focus to other projects, with their current endeavor at the time being Kaiketsu Lion-Maru, which was in early production during the middle of Spectreman's run.

United States release[]

The entire 63-episode Spectreman series was dubbed into English and syndicated to television stations across North America, including Superstation TBS, starting in the fall of 1978, more than seven years after its Japanese premiere. The English dubbing was co-written and performed by character actor Mel Welles, best known for his role in the original film version of "The Little Shop of Horrors," and produced by Richard L. Rosenfeld.

While the US version remained mostly faithful to the original show, notable changes included a new theme song created by a songwriting team consisting Jerry Winn, Bob Todd and Gregory Sill, using the "First Day of Forever" tune from the Awakening album by the Mystic Moods Orchestra. This instrumental version replaced the Japanese language theme song and was played over action scenes, though the instrumental version of the Japanese theme song was usually left intact. Other changes involved edits to remove some of the violence considered too intense for a U.S. children's show at the time. The dialogue was sometimes altered to add some of Mr. Welles' offbeat humor. While once available on VHS, the US version has not been released on DVD.

Brazil release[]

Shortly after the release of the Spectreman English dub, P Productions licensed the original Japanese version of Spectreman to Brazil. This version was dubbed mostly accurately to the source material while incorporating elements from the American dub. it retained the the Original English theme. Additional changes included renaming Jouji (George in the English version) to Kenji and adjusting the titles to suit the Brazilian audience. Despite these modifications, the dub remained true to the original source material.

It aired on Rede Record in 1981 and on SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão) in 1983.

Pilot episode[]

Titled "Space Apeman Gori" (宇宙猿人ゴリ - Uchû Enjin Gori; just like the series' first title), alternately titled "Superman Elementman" (超人エレメントマン - Chôjin Erementoman), or simply "Spectreman: Pilot Version," this pilot follows the same formula as the series but with several differences.

Gori, the main antagonist, looked different from the final version. The pilot version of Gori, later used as "Lla 2" (US name: Kah) in Episodes 5 & 6, had glowing eyes and, in a creepy fashion, his face appeared behind the prop for the pilot's logo. This prop logo was later used in the series' opening titles, but shown from a top view on a deserted land. In the Pilot Gori' s appearance resembled Karas's first suit just with more jewelry.

Elementman

Elementman

Spectreman, named "Elementman" in the pilot, also had a completely different appearance, resembling a martian. He wore a red and black costume with an aerodynamic silver helmet that partially exposed a painted human face. Jôji Gamô was portrayed by Jiro Dan in the pilot, who left after its completion to star in Return of Ultraman. In this version, Jôji ran a sports store, reflecting the popular "Sports Boom" in Japan at the time.

The monsters Elementman fought in the pilot were Midoron, Zeron and Mogz which were later used in Episodes 3, 4, 27 and 52 of the TV series respectively, as well as in Jaguarman, an earlier superhero TV pilot by P Productions from 1967. Additionally, all 63 episodes of the Spectreman series were looped in 16mm film. Each scene was carefully cut into a film loop, while the sound was recorded in sync with a 16mm magnetic loop of the same length. Quality Sound Inc. in Hollywood provided all looping services. The re-recording of the sound was done by Irv Nafshun, owner of Quality Sound, and Bill Navarro, re-recording engineer.
