Meteor Man Zone

Meteor Man Zone (??????? - Ryûsei Ningen Zôn) is a tokusatsu SF/superhero TV series. Produced by Toho Company Ltd., the show aired on Nippon Television from April 2 to September 24, 1973, with a total of 26 episodes. This was Toho's answer to not only the popular Ultra Series, but the Henshin Hero phenomenon started by shows like Kamen Rider and Android Kikaider. The previous year, Toho had just made their successful first superhero show, Warrior of Love, Rainbowman.

At the time this series was made, Toho's own famous movie monster Godzilla was becoming really popular with children, so it made sense for Godzilla to guest-star in five episodes of this series! Godzilla was the very same savior as seen in then-recent films like Godzilla Vs. Megalon (which premiered in Japanese theaters a month earlier), and fought side by side with the show's hero (Zone Fighter) against the Garoga Army's various giant FearBeasts.
