My friends and I had an awesome time drinking around the campfire at Tokonatsu, because all the weeaboos had been eaten by the kraken in the lake.

Get the tokusatsu mug.A Japanese genre to televison shows. It literally translates to "Live Action". Odd thing is, Godzilla, known as Gojira in Japan, is NOT part of this genre, for it falls under the genre of "Kaiju", which translates to "Monster". Under Tokusatsu genre are the Kamen Rider series, the Super Sentai series, and the Metal Hero series. Some shows have been in a series of their own, like Choseishin Grandseizar, but are still apart of Tokusatsu.

Get the todomatsu mug.Tokusatsu entertainment often deals with science fiction, fantasy or horror, but movies and television shows in other genres can sometimes count as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu include kaiju monster movies like the Godzilla and Gamera film series; superhero TV serials such as the Kamen Rider and Metal Hero series; and mecha dramas like Giant Robo. Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres, for example the Ultraman and Super Sentai series. Tokusatsu is one of the most popular forms of Japanese entertainment, but most tokusatsu movies and television programs are not widely known outside Asia.
Tokusatsu (特撮?) is a Japanese term that applies to any live-action film or television drama that features considerable use of special effects (tokusatsu literally translates as "special filming" in Japanese).
