The Japanese creator of TV series "Ultraman" has won another court victory in securing the film/merchandising rights to his otherworldy character, created in 1966 for a live-action TV show in which 'Ultraman' and his family from the 'M-78 nebula' battle space aliens intent on harming humanity.
Ultraman's creator was Eiji Tsuburaya from Tsuburaya Productions, a pioneer in special effects who was responsible for bringing "Godzilla" to life in 1954.
The show has since spawned TV follow-ups, cartoon series and theatrical features, generating an ancillary marketing 'bonanza'.
