July 10 is Ultraman Day!

This year, we will be celebrating the special day through a series of campaigns held through Ultraman Connection.

Here’s the announcement from Ultraman Connection in case you missed it:

It’s a big year for Ultraman, as the Giant of Light takes bold new steps onto the world stage. As Ultraman Day, our favorite holiday here at Ultraman Connection, approaches, we’ve been thinking of the best way to celebrate. With that in mind, we’ve put together something very special that we think you’ll enjoy with us: The 10 Days of Ultraman!

Let’s get into what each of the 10 days hold in store for fans:

Day 1 – Day 4: Ultraman Rising at Anime Expo

The 10 Days of Ultraman kicks off with a massive bang at the world-renowned Anime Expo 2022! Tsuburaya Productions and Ultraman Connection are producing a transmedia story at the event called Ultraman Rising, which will feature the historic arrival of Ultraman and Kaiju live performers for the first time in the continental United States.

Convention-goers will be encouraged to join The Hunt For Dada, posting photos of the Three-Faced Phantom for prizes and amazing experiences. Check out various panels starring creative juggernauts from across the Ultraman universe, including anime ULTRAMAN directors Shinji Aramaki and Kenji Kamiyama,  Shannon Tindle & John Aoshima (co-directors of an all-new Netflix Ultraman feature with animation by Industrial Light & Magic) Marvel Comics Ultraman creators Mat Groom and E.J. Su, and much, much more! Click here to see a complete rundown of all four days at Anime Expo 2022!
