super sentai
The is the name given to the long-running Japanese superhero team genre of shows produced by Toei Co., Ltd., Toei Agency and Bandai, and aired by TV Asahi ("Super" refers to their use of mecha, and "''sentai''" is the Japanese word for "task force" or "fighting squadron"). The shows are of the tokusatsu genre, featuring live action characters and colorful special effects, and are mainly aimed at children. The Super Sentai Series is one of the most prominent tokusatsu productions in Japan, alongside the Ultra Series and the Kamen Rider Series, which it currently airs alongside in the ''Super Hero Time'' programming block on Sundays. Outside Japan, the Super Sentai Series is best known as the source material for the ''Power Rangers'' franchise.
==Series overview==
In every Super Sentai Series, the protagonists are a team of people who transform ("henshin") into superheroes and gain superpowers (color-coded uniforms, personal weapons, sidearms and martial arts skills) in order to battle a group of evil beings that threaten to take over the Earth. In every episode, the heroes thwart the enemies plans and defeats an army of enemy soldiers and the "monster of the week", and in one last effort to defeat the heroes, an enlarged version of the monster appears to confront them, only to be defeated again when the heroes call for their "mecha" (huge robotic machines that can combine to form one or more giant robots) to fight it. While each Super Sentai Series is set in its own fictional universe, various TV, video and film specials feature a team-up between one or more teams.
The first Super Sentai Series, ''Himitsu Sentai Gorenger'', was created by Shotaro Ishinomori (creator of ''Kamen Rider'' and ''Cyborg 009'') in 1975. He did not create any further Sentai Series after his second, ''J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai'', wasn't well received. Following ''J.A.K.Q.'', Toei Company, which produced ''Gorenger'', chose to work with Marvel Comics to produce a live action adaptation of ''Spider-Man'' (1978), which included the first giant robot in a Toei superhero show. This concept was used in Toei and Marvel's next project ''Battle Fever J'' (1979), which was deemed the first "Super" Sentai Series; ''Gorenger'' and ''J.A.K.Q.'' were retroactively added to the Super Sentai canon in 1995 in order to note ''Chōriki Sentai Ohranger'' as the 20th anniversary series. The production of ''Denshi Sentai Denziman'' in 1980 was the first Super Sentai Series produced solely by Toei and the first to be written by the collective penname of "Saburo Yatsude".
The term ''sentai'' is also occasionally used to describe shows with similar premises such as ''Voltron'' and the magical girl team in ''Sailor Moon'', as Naoko Takeuchi used Sentai ideas as inspiration in the creation of the Sailor Soldiers.〔 〕
