Ultraman goes electric with Nissan Leaf and NV200

June 19,2014

Japanese superhero Ultraman uses stored solar power to fight against the forces of galactic evil, but in his latest TV adventure his earthly defense team will rely on a new zero-emission source for mobility – electric vehicles.

The Japanese cosmic giant and Defense Team UPG will use reconfigured Nissan EVs – a Nissan LEAF and e-NV200 – in the 16-part “Ultraman Ginga S” TV series, set to air from mid-July.

The new TV Tokyo series is the latest iteration of the positively-charged character who first appeared in 1966.

To celebrate the new season and ultra zero-emissions mobility, photo sessions for the two decked-out EVs will be held at Tokyo Big Site from June 18 in conjunction with Tsuburaya Productions.
