Mirrorman
is a Japanese ''tokusatsu'' science fiction television series produced by Tsuburaya Productions, the series aired on Fuji TV from December 5, 1971 to November 26, 1972, with a total of 51 episodes. This was Tsuburaya Productions' first non-Ultra superhero (even though there were concepts that were similar to ''Ultraman'', which became Tsuburaya trademarks). Like ''Ultraseven'', ''Mirrorman'' was more of a dark and brooding science fiction drama than most other shows of its ilk, but by Episode 26, after major changes were forced upon the series by the network (making the action lighter and the hero more like Ultraman), it became a typical action-oriented superhero adventure of its era. A short spinoff series titled ''Mirror Fight'' was broadcast on TV Tokyo from April 1, 1974 to September 27, 1974, with a total of 65 short episodes. It was similar in concept to the earlier ''Ultra Fight''. After years of sequel series rumors, the 2005 straight-to-DVD series ''Mirrorman REFLEX'' ...

His appearance succeeds both the first Ultra Warrior Ultraman, and his superior, Zoffy, and is officially the third Ultra Warrior from Nebula M78, the Land of Light. Ultraseven first appeared as the eponymous titular character alongside his " human form" Dan Moroboshi on the 1967-1968 Japanese television series, ''Ultraseven'', which ran for 48 episodes. This series was preceded by Tsuburaya's first Kyodai Hero genre series, ''Ultraman''.

This event cemented Tsuburaya Productions' decision to have the Ultra Series continue to follow the trend of focusing on an Ultraman (or Ultra Warri ...
