The premise

After being killed in a monster attack, adolescent young man Kotarô Higashi is transformed by the entire Ultra Family into a powerful new Ultra-being, Ultraman Tarou.

Horror Vault's take

A young man's fateful encounter with a devastating monster sets him on an extraordinary path as he is reborn as the mighty Ultraman Taro, the latest champion of the legendary Ultra Family. Each week brings a new colossal threat to Earth, and Taro must summon every ounce of his newfound power to protect humanity. A classic entry in the long-running tokusatsu tradition, the series blends spectacular monster battles with themes of courage and sacrifice.
