Ganbaron was a 1977 Japanese tokusatsu live action television show featuring Japan’s own version of American superhero Superman.
“Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Ganbaron! Faster than a Shinkansen! Stronger than Kaiju!”
Teru Tendou is a young reporter for the Shonen Times. In times of trouble, he could transform into Ganbaron and save the day. The plot revolved mostly around Teru keeping his identity a secret from his friends. Ganbaron could call a giant robot named Daibaron (“big baron”).
This looks awesome but I can’t find footage anywhere. I love how they reappropriated Superman’s opening narration.
