==Trivia==
*Although Kikuchi played Ultraseven in episodes 14-15, Koji Uenishi portrayed the character in the rest of the series.
**This fact was referenced in the 2014 drama adaption of Aoi Honoo: At a bathhouse, Hideaki Anno mimics Ultraseven's fights against King Joe, but is mistaken for Ultraman Jack by Takami Akai. Anno explains that he is "half-right", as Jack's suit actor had played Ultraseven solely in King Joe's two episodes.
