Ultraman (Japanese: ウルトラマン, Hepburn: Urutoraman)[a] is a Japanese tokusatsu science fiction television series created by Eiji Tsuburaya. It is a follow-up to Ultra Q, though not technically a sequel or spin-off. Eiji Tsuburaya's production company, Tsuburaya Productions, produced 39 episodes (40, counting the pre-premiere special) that aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) and its affiliate stations from July 17, 1966, to April 9, 1967. Its premiere topped the average rating set by Ultra Q and kept climbing each week, marking the show as a success.

Although Ultraman is the first series to feature an Ultraman character, it is the second installment in the Ultra Series, following Ultra Q. This is symbolised by the Japanese show opening with the Ultra Q logo exploding into the Ultraman logo. Ultraman and its titular hero became a major pop culture phenomenon in Japan, generating dozens of sequels, spin-offs, imitations, parodies and tributes. Ultraman went on to generate $7.4 billion in merchandising revenue from 1966 to 1987 in Japan equivalent to more than $18 billion adjusted for inflation) and become the world's third top-selling licensed character by the 1980s, largely due to his popularity in Asia.

"The Rascal from Outer Space"

The Rascal from Outer Space (宇宙から来た暴れん坊 Uchū kara Kita Abarenbō) is the eleventh episode of Ultraman. On the DVD release it is called The Ruffian From Outer Space/The Rambunctious One From Space.

Plot

Hoshino and his friends find a tiny meteorite which displays incredible mental powers. It transforms into any object or person into which the person holding it at the time commands it to transform. Further study is approved, and that study is being conducted until a man with a limp steals the unusual stone.

This man, though not truly evil, is mischievous. He uses the rock from space to create a monster, called Gango. (This monster is called Gyango in the English translation transmitted to the United States in the 1960s.) The man uses Gango to play tricks on people, steal money and cause practical jokes within a hotel, but he soon ends up wishing Gango to grow to a giant size. Injured, He ends up in a coma, leaving Tokyo at the mercy of Gango, who proceeds to act like a child who plays much too roughly. Gango is met by the JSDF and the Science Patrol, but all their weapons can do is sever one of his radar-like ears, which sends Gango into an enraged frenzy. Finally, Shin Hayata, one of the Patrol's members, has his Jet VTOL knocked into water near the hotel location; while under water, he ignites the Beta Capsule and is transformed into Ultraman, who then fights Gango. But owing to Gango's cowardly nature, the "fight" takes up enough time for Ultraman to weaken. As Gango sees Ultraman running out of time, as his (Ultraman's) warning light indicates, the criminal awakens from his coma. Seeing what his creation is doing, he wishes the creature away. The towering monster re-transforms back into the softball-sized meteorite, which Hayata calls a "telepathic stone" and says "doesn't belong here." It is gathered by Ultraman and taken back into space.
