“Ultraman Foundation” is online event streaming the “Ultra Hero Show” to children with incurable illness across Japan on September 27^th, 2022. This event was co-hosted with the Solaputi Kids’ Camp (placed in Takigawa-shi, Hokkaido) to help these children who fight such illness.

Online event “Ultra Kids Project”

All children who face surgery and drink bitter medicine to fight the illness, are all “Ultra Kids”. This event was live streamed at the “Solaputi Kids’ Camp” full of nature, to 30 facilities across Japan.

In the Ultra Hero Show (recorded pre-event), the “Ultra Kids” cheered the with full energy giving the Ultramans cheering Gestures “Ultra Charge” and an applause. Moreover, the children had fun playing a song called “Ultraman of the Ichome” and played “Ultra Janken(Rock Paper Scissors)” . At the end of the event, Ultraman and the children gave each other an “Ultra Charge” to unite all children across Japan.

One of the planners for this event, Yoichi Komori (author/manga writer) gave the children a message.

“Meeting Ultraman and the Kaiju made who I am today. I will give the children the baton of ‘The power to imagination’, ‘the heart never to give-up’ and ‘Courage to stand up to the odds’.”

Comments from hospitals that participated in this event:

“Children who are usually isolated in private rooms said that it was fun to connect with their peers who are fighting illnesses across the country.”

“Through Ultraman, we were able to connect no matter being a child or an adult, it gave us an opportunity to become friends, and a warm time to cheer for each other.”

“We set up a screen in the halls of the hospital and children who usually do not come out of their room joined the event looking like they had lots of fun, making the staffs very happy.”

Ultraman Fund Committee/Solaputi Kids’ Camp

Ultraman Fund was founded right after the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake. As children are the light of hope of the future, we are developing support activities to cheer children from the bottom of our hearts. We continue our activities for the children in the disaster areas and other areas through visits by Ultra Heroes and streaming content.

Soraputi Kids’ Camp is a program led by pediatricians that builds and operates campsites with medical care for children with incurable illness with the help of donations and volunteers and invites children and their families from all over Japan to the campsite located in Maruka Kogen, Takikawa City, Hokkaido, a place rich in nature, free of charge. We have also started an initiative to provide children battling illnesses with extraordinary experiences without leaving the hospital or their homes, and in winter we give away the snow that accumulates at the campsite to hospitals and other facilities in areas where snow does not accumulate.
