Go! Godman (1972-73)

## **Go! Godman (1972-73) (Ike! Godman)**

***Go! Godman*** (行け！ゴッドマン *Ike Goddoman*) is a Japanese tokusatsu series produced by Toho that aired from October 5, 1972 to September 28, 1973. It succeeded Tsuburaya Productions' *Redman* as the second tokusatsu segment on Nippon TV's *Good Morning! Kid's Show*. A followup series, *Go! Greenman*, was also later produced.

## **Plot.**

In *Go! Godman*, one or more kaiju appear and menace Japan, until Godman, the show's titular hero, is called from his home planet by a person in peril calling for his name. He then defeats the monsters over the course of a few episodes. Each 'saga' or 'arc' was divided into three to six 5-minute episodes to lengthen the show's battles out due to a limited budget.
