LOS ANGELES, CA — On August 26, 2025 (local time), Ultraman appeared at Dodger Stadium, the home of the Los Angeles Dodgers (hereinafter, “Dodgers”), for a ceremonial first pitch and related events.

Before the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds, Dodgers fans and the incoming audience were treated to a photo session with Ultraman and Alien Baltan at Center Field Plaza. Fans and spectators formed a long line, eager to meet and take photos with Ultraman and Baltan.

At the ceremonial first pitch, as Hidetoshi Yamamoto, Chairman and Group CEO of Tsuburaya Fields Holdings, was about to head to the mound with Ultraman, Alien Baltan unexpectedly rushed in. Just as a big brawl seemed to start, Ultraman executed a shoulder throw against Alien Baltan. The opening theme of Ultraman then echoed through the stadium as Yamamoto threw a powerful pitch from the mound, which was met with loud applause from the crowd.

A fancam event was also held, encouraging fans to strike Ultraman poses. Children and Dodgers fans had fun during the in-game breaks, striking various poses, including the Specium Beam and Ultraman’s signature fist pump.
