Jet Jaguar is a robot who first appeared in Toho's 1973 film Godzilla vs. Megalon.

Overview

Godzilla Vs. Megalon was originally planned as a non-Godzilla film, a solo vehicle for Jet Jaguar, which was the result of a contest Toho had for children in mid-to-late 1972. The winner of the contest was an elementary school student, who submitted the drawing of a robot called Red Arone, which superficially resembled both Ultraman and Mazinger Z. Toho later added Godzilla into the film at the last minute, fearing that a solo Jet Jaguar film would not have been successful.[1]
