Bio Planet WoO (生物彗星WoO, Seibutsu Suisei Wū?) is a kyodai themed tokusatsu that premiered April 9, 2006 and airs at 7:30pm on NHK. The series is scheduled to have 13 episodes. Woo was one of many unused ideas created by the late-Eiji Tsuburaya as story connecting to the show, Ultra Q. The story revolves around a living creature which came from a comet named Woo; in the series, Woo is befriended by a young girl named Ai; both are chased by a mysterious organization called SWORD who sees Woo as a threat to humanity. At the same time, giant monsters have invaded in search of Woo. The story itself follows the original script Tsuburaya intended for the show.
