Ultraman Stage Battle
Attendees will get to experience a high-octane live stage battle, as Ultraman squares up with Kaiju for the ultimate spectacle, bringing the Ultraman Universe to life!
Ultraman Omega Premiere Screening
For the first time ever, Tsuburaya is making the English dubbed version of the unmissable and spectacular new chapter in the Ultraman Universe, Ultraman Omega, available for streaming in the U.S. on November 28, and audiences at Japan Society will be able to see the first episode dubbed in English ahead of this debut. Perfect for new fans, the standalone series tells the story of Ultraman Omega, who falls to Earth stripped of his memories and takes on a human identity as Sorato Okida. Drawn into battles against towering Kaiju by a mysterious, subconscious sense of duty, Sorato must defend the planet while forging deep connections with the humans around him.
Ultraman Meet & Greet, Giveaways, and More
Families and fans will not want to miss out on the opportunity for meet and greets and photo opportunities with Ultras and Kaiju for memories that will last a lifetime! Ultraman giveaways, souvenirs and more will round out the jam-packed evening of Ultra-surprises.
About Ultraman
A 130 foot tall red and silver Giant of Light, Ultraman came to Earth from across the galaxy to protect humanity from invading aliens and giant monsters called Kaiju. Helmed by Tsuburaya Productions, the Ultraman Universe first debuted in 1966 with the launch of the television series Ultra Q. For nearly 60 years, the Ultraman franchise has spawned a record number of TV shows, films, video games and more. Tsuburaya’s partnership with Japan Society spotlight Ultraman’s surging popularity, after taking the U.S. by storm in 2024 with the animated feature film Ultraman: Rising, which landed on Netflix, gaining attention from both legacy fans and new audiences.
Japan Society is the premier organization connecting Japanese arts, culture, language, business, and society with audiences in New York and the world.
