Ultraman is, per his official bio, “An alien superhero from Nebula M78.” He first appeared in the ’60s Japanese TV series “Ultraman,” fighting various invading monsters and aliens.
In Shin Ultraman, “Giant unknown creatures have appeared one after another, and their existence becomes everyday. The Japanese government, which has reached its limit because conventional weapons are completely useless, gathers specialists for measures against the beasts and establishes the Special Countermeasures Office for the Beasts. A silver giant suddenly appears from outside the atmosphere while the crisis of the evil beast is approaching.”
Shin Ultraman will be produced by Toho Co., Khara Inc. and Tsuburaya Productions.
