Hello everyone! I am Saori from Tokusatsu Republic!
This time! ......I heard that it became a hot topic on SNS at the end of the year! What on earth is that tokusatsu hero!? If you read this article, you might...... just might...... understand something about that hero?
[TAROMAN] Is it really a tokusatsu show? Is it a lie? Is it true??
A quick explanation of the various mysteries surrounding the incredibly strange TAROMAN!
This is the kind of tokusatsu hero (?) TAROMAN is!
So mysteriousâwho are you!?
A quick explanation of the tokusatsu hero TAROMAN,
who has become a hot topic overseas!
First of all, to explain in one sentence, the tokusatsu TV drama TAROMAN does exist!
To explain in more detail, it is the 2022 tokusatsu TV drama âTAROMAN: Taro Okamoto-Style Tokusatsu Action Drama,â which was created based on the concept of a âtokusatsu hero show broadcast in the 1970sâ and themed around the words and works of artist Taro Okamoto! There were many questioning voices saying, âWait, wasn't TAROMAN not broadcast in 1970???â but itâs basically a slightly mysterious tokusatsu drama with a retro atmosphere!
The tokusatsu drama was broadcast in 2022!
In 2025, TAROMAN's popularity skyrocketed,
and it was so well-received that a theatrical version was also released!
What TAROMAN fights are the (real-life) artworks of Taro Okamoto that have become monsters called âKijuuâ (strange beasts)! To defeat these nonsensical creatures known as âKijuu,â nonsensical power is required, but in modern society, there are no longer any creatures that can emit the kind of nonsensical power that used to exist...... That is when TAROMAN appeared! TAROMAN confronts the âKijuuâ with incredible nonsensical power, but because he is a nonsensical existence himself, sometimes even the Earth side ends up in danger! What kind of hero is this!
When the theatrical version was released in 2025, an exhibition event was also held! Since the artist's works attack as monsters, the exhibition was very artistic! It had a certain retro feel, to the point where one might doubt if it was truly an exhibition for a movie released in 2025. At the photo spot, an arrogant Taroman was perched on a bench, and it was possible to take a photo with him. He certainly has a great spirit of service!
And so, if you're going to check it out, thereâs both a TV version and a theatrical version of TAROMAN! Everyone, please try taking a little peek at this tokusatsu show full of outrageous powerâjust give it a chance, even if you think youâre being fooled!
