A Message from the Ultraman Foundation
Tomorrow marks ten years since the Great East Japan earthquake that occurred on March 11.
Thanks to all of your generous support, the Ultraman Foundation has continued its activities since it was established in March 2011.
To support our children, who are our irreplaceable hope for a bright new future, the Ultraman Foundation sends Ultra Heroes to visit children in need at nursery schools, kindergartens, and orphanages in areas struck by disaster, as well as children’s hospitals.
As part of the “Stay At Home With Ultraman” project carried out during the 2020 novel coronavirus outbreak, the Ultraman Foundation released some of the very best episodes from the Ultraman series and created original videos, including content to help children during the stay-at-home period and messages from our heroes.
Now, starting on March 10 the “Special Spring Campaign: Ultra Selection 10” will be released weekly on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Thanks to the kindness of everyone who has donated, we have been able to bring smiles to countless children’s faces over the past ten years of activity.
We believe that these children’s smiles are not only our irreplaceable hope for the future, but the future itself. It is our belief that the fun and relaxing time children spend with our heroes is a natural opportunity for them to imagine their hopes and dreams for the future, and the Ultraman Foundation will continue to act as a bridge between children in need of support and those who wish to help them.
We thank you for your continued support.
