Toei Superheroes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toei Superheroes are superhero shows produced by Toei Company Ltd., which has done the biggest number of live-action tokusatsu superhero shows in Japan. Although still a work in progress, this is the complete list of Toei movies & TV shows by year.

Note that a number of programs (including all Sentai series excluding Goranger and J.A.K.Q.) are said to be created by "Saburō Yatsude" (八手三郎, Yatsude Saburō^?); this is not a person, but rather a collective pseudonym for Toei staff (similar to Hajime Yatate, a name used by the staff of the Japanese animation company Sunrise Inc.).
