It was created to capitalize on the success of the Super Giant serials. In fact, the title hero (whose alter-ego was Waku-san, played by Toshio Mimura) bore a strong resemblance to Super Giant. Toei produced two movies that featured the character, but in a completely different, more streamlined costume (and goggled helmet). The hero was this time played by Tatsuo Umemiya. The films were titled:
* Planet Prince (遊星王子) (Yūsei Ōji) Released: May 19, 1959
* Planet Prince - The Terrifying Spaceship ( 遊星王子 - 恐怖の宇宙船) (Yūsei Ōji - Kyōfu no Uchūsen) Released: May 25, 1959 For release in America, these two movies were compiled into a TV movie titled Prince of Space.
