Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary Project (from the project official site)
On July 10, 1966, Ultraman first appeared on television. Since then, the Ultraman series, which has always evolved with the times, has moved hearts and delivered "courage," "hope," and "compassion." In 2026, it will celebrate its 60th anniversary since its broadcast began.
A "Ultraman Series 60th Anniversary Project" is underway to commemorate this historic milestone. We aim to deliver the charm of the series not only to long-time fans but also to those who have never experienced Ultraman before, and through the profound stories and universal themes of each series, we aim for Ultraman to continue to be a beloved presence across generations and borders.

MONSTROUSA
An apparel brand born in 2023 from a costume shop based in Shimokitazawa. (The brand name carries the meaning of "sudden mutation.") The brand concept is "OVER MADE." The brand's greatest feature is its bold approach to clothing creation, utilizing the meticulous attention to detail and live production capabilities that only a costume shop artisan can achieve.
The work of a costume shop does not involve making clothes for an unspecified "someone." Instead, we face each individual performer to bring out their unique personality and tailor clothes accordingly. Our mission is to create "costumes that bring out the individuality of each wearer on the grand stage of life."
