ultraman
The titular hero of Tsuburaya Productions's 1966-1967 tokusatsu TV series. His human host is Hayata Shin. Due to Ultraman becoming a title for those of the Land of Light who have protected Earth, he is often referred to with additional names to distinguish him from his Ultra Brothers, such as Shodai [Ultra-]Man ("The First [Ultra-]Man"), [Ultra-]Man-niisan ("Brother [Ultra-]Man"), or even just Man, with Ultraman Hayata, based on his host's name, becoming a popular choice for some younger Western fans.
In the original series, Ultraman went through three main designs (referred to as Type A, Type B, and Type C), with Type C being the most common design used in appearances since, though with the first two being referenced from time to time. There was also a "Type D" design that existed briefly after the original series, used in stage shows, originating from converting ]]'s suit back into an Ultraman suit, as his suit was originally the Type A suit (previously also used by Imit Ultraman, and would go on to be used for [[Ultraman Jack). This would all establish a trend of slight redesigns for Ultras during and after their original series, as new suits are made, especially those who look similar to one another.
