Ultraman wears a rubber suit. Surely, that can’t be the reason why maker of rubber products like work supplies and rain gear, Kohsin Rubber, has chosen to collaborate with the sci-fi franchise for a series of products. No?
It could be purely coincidental, but yes, Japan is getting all the good stuff, including my childhood superhero, Ultraman-themed apparels, bags, and footwear.
