is a fictional superhero and is the second tokusatsu hero launched by the Ultra Series and by extent, Tsuburaya Productions. His appearance succeeds both the first Ultra Warrior Ultraman, and his superior, Zoffy, and is officially the third Ultra Warrior from the Land of Light.
Ultraseven first appeared as the eponymous titular character alongside his "human form" Dan Moroboshi on the 1967-1968 Japanese television series, Ultra Seven which ran for 48 episodes. This series was preceded by Tsuburaya's first Kyodai Hero genre series, Ultraman. While both series shared the same genre with very similar heroes, there was originally no relation between the two. It wasn't until the third TV series The Return of Ultraman was created four years later that both Ultraman and Ultraseven came together into the same story. This event cemented Tsuburaya Prods' decision to have the Ultra Series continue to follow the trend of focusing on an Ultraman (or Ultra Warrior) with each new entry. Alongside Ultraman, Ultraseven himself enjoyed a long series of popularity and has continued to appear in various works from the Ultra Series. Unlike Ultraman, Seven's popularity gave him the chance to star in other successive shows which were meant to be sequels of his own series such as Heisei Ultra Seven and Ultraseven X. Ultraseven also has a lot of popular trademarks that are still memorable: his Eye Slugger, Beam Lamp and Capsule Monsters.
