Eiji Tsuburaya
After the success of space-themed science fiction shows such as "Ultraman", "Captain Ultra", and the Japanese broadcast of "Lost in Space", Tokyo Broadcasting System pursued Tsuburaya Productions to produce another sci-fi series. This led Eiji Tsuburaya to assemble Hajime Tsuburaya, Akio Jissoji, Tetsuo Kinjo, Masami Sueyasu, and Shoji Otomo to brainstorm ideas.
