Ikebukuro Ultraman statue

Wed, September 30, 2009

Not only the Gundam or Doraemon fans can have the pleasure of taking photos next to huge statues of their favorite characters, but also the fans of Ultraman.

Besides the statue located in Asakusa, in front of Bandai Headquarters, which is permanently displayed, I discovered another Ultraman statue, next to the entrance to Sunshine City, displayed on the occasion of the Ultraman Festival (ULFES).

Ultraman is still a very popular character in Japan, I was amazed in Akihabara and Nakano by the quantity of Ultraman merchandise…
If you don’t know who Ultraman is, here’s some footage from the original (1966) series:

Pe lângă statuia din faţa sediului Bandai din Asakusa, care este expusă permanent, am descoperit din întâmplare una în Ikebukuro, în faţa clădirii Sunshine City, care este expusă cu ocazia Festivalul Ultraman (ULFES).

Ultraman este încă foarte popular în Japonia, am fost uimită în Akihabara şi Nakano de cantitatea mare de mărfuri cu Ultraman…
Dacă nu ştiţi cine este Ultraman, iată câteva scene din serialul original din 1966:
