The Return of Ultraman (帰ってきたウルトラマン, Kaettekita Urutoraman, roughly meaning "Ultraman Has Returned"), is a tokusatsu science fiction/kaiju/superhero TV series, and is the fourth in the Ultra Series.Eiji Tsuburaya had originally intended for the Ultra Series to end with the 1967 series Ultra Seven (Urutora Sebun, 1967). Ultraman (Urutoraman, 1966) proved to be too popular a character to omit. Eiji Tsuburaya died in 1970.
