  • The Metal Hero Series is a tokusatsu series, as is Super Sentai.
  • Tokusatsu is the genre that Super Sentai belongs to. Other popular Tokusatsu franchises are the Kamen Rider (1971-) and Metal Heroes (1982-1999) series. Also, a minor Toku show in the 70s, Ninja Captor, was once classed as the second Super Sentai series. While Super Sentai has often teamed up its series with another, it has only crossed over with another Tokusatsu franchise three times. The first was Kamen Rider Decade: Shinkenger World, the second was Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Gavan, and the third was Super Hero Taisen, which brought nearly all the Riders and Sentai teams together.
  • Tokusatsu (特撮 Tokusatsu?), sometimes shortened to Toku, is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that usually features superheroes and makes considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special filming" in Japanese). Tokusatsu is the genre that the Ultra Series belongs to. Other popular tokusatsu franchises are the Kamen Rider Series (1971-), Super Sentai (1975-) and the Metla Hero Series (1982-) series.
  • The term "tokusatsu" is a contraction of the Japanese phrase "tokushu satsuei" (特殊撮影 "tokushu satsuei"?), meaning "special photography". In production, the special effects director is given the title of "tokushu gijutsu" (特殊技術 "tokushu gijutsu"?), Japanese for "special techniques" or "tokusatsu kantoku" (特撮監督 "tokusatsu kantoku"?), which is Japanese for "special effects director", the title usually used by English language productions. Tokusatsu is one of the most popular forms of Japanese entertainment, but most tokusatsu movies and television programs are not widely known outside Asia.

Tokusatsu entertainment is often science fiction, fantasy, or horror, but movies and TV shows in other genres can sometimes be classified as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu are kaiju monster movies (the Godzilla and Gamera film series), superhero TV serials (the Kamen Rider and Metal Heroes series), and mecha dramas (Giant Robo). Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres (the Ultraman and Super Sentai series).
