Director Shannon Tindle
It has been a dream of mine for many years to make this film. My original story, born out of my love for Eiji Tsuburaya's Ultraman, was fortunate enough to come to fruition as a film. I am truly grateful to Tsuburaya Productions for their incredible trust and to the Netflix Animation Department for their support. I look forward to bringing our team's innovative "Ultraman" to audiences around the world.

Chairman and CEO Takayuki Tsukagoshi, Tsuburaya Productions
Ultraman was created in Japan 55 years ago, shortly after the founding of Tsuburaya Productions," said Takayuki Tsukagoshi, Chairman and CEO of Tsuburaya Productions. For Tsuburaya Productions, this collaboration with Netflix marks the first full-fledged worldwide expansion of the Ultraman series since its inception. Ultraman" has always fascinated many people. Shannon Tindle is one of them. We have heard that he was greatly influenced by Ultraman as a child growing up and became a creator. I hope that children around the world will watch Shannon's Ultraman on Netflix and develop a sense of courage, hope, and compassion.
