For those who don’t know, tokusatsu is a Japanese entertainment genre known for its unique special effects and epic battles between superheroes and kaiju monsters. We’re talking about shows like Super Sentai (which inspired all the iterations of Power Rangers), Ultraman Leo, and Kamen Rider, all of which will be available on Pluto TV starting this week.
Here’s a video announcing the arrival of TokuSHOUTsu by Jason Navary, who played “Skull” on Power Rangers:
Shout! Factory TV is bringing TokuSHOUTsu to Channel 681 on Pluto TV starting at 12am PT (or 3am ET) on Tuesday, March 17. The launch will include the official United States debut of Kamen Rider, starting with the first 98-episode series from 1971. Plenty more episodes will be made available in the future. But there’s plenty more coming to TokuSHOUTsu at launch. Here’s what the channel will include:
A lot of this stuff isn’t available on any other streaming service, and Shout Factory couldn’t be more proud to showcase all this content to tokusatsu fans to Pluto TV users in the United States, Europe and soon Latin America. Gene Pao, Shout! Factory’s senior vice president, digital enterprises said in a statement:
This will certainly help keep us occupied in the coming weeks, and will continue to expand as time goes on. Enjoy!
“We’re so proud to launch TokuSHOUTsu as the ultimate destination for fans to watch the best tokusatsu content spanning more than 60 years. We know fans have come to appreciate the carefully curated content that Shout! Factory distributes, and we’ve created this channel with the legions of tokusatsu enthusiasts in mind. We’re thrilled to add it to our umbrella of fan-centric streaming options.”
