Planet Prince

Planet Prince , Ysei ji? is a 1958 tokusatsu superhero television series. Created by veteran writer Masaru Igami and produced by Nippon Gendai and Senkosha, the series aired on NTV from November 4, 1958 to October 6, 1959, with a total of 49 episodes divided into several segments. It was created to capitalize on the success of the Super Giant serials. In fact, the title hero whose alterego was Wakusan, played by Toshio Mimura bore a strong resemblance to Super Giant.

As mentioned before, the TV version looks very similar to Super Giant, in that both wear cowled costumes and capes. Each character also has super powers and flies. The twopart movie version produced by Toei is different, as Prince of Space wears a streamlined costume, cape and helmet. In the edited US version he has no superpowers other than the invulnerability of his costume, but in a subplot unique to the Japanese version he is able to revert a man brainwashed by the Ginsei aliens to a peaceful state. He uses weapons a wandlike laser gun and flies a small spaceship.In the TV version, just like Moonlight Mask, the Planet Prince persona was credited as being played by ? even though he never wore a mask. ........
