Japan Unwrapped #5: Ultra unbelievable

Dear Tokyo Times

I’m pretty sure Godzilla doesn’t exist cos my friend Bobby says so. And Tokyo is still there so he can’t have destroyed it like I’ve seen him do in a film. At least that’s what my teacher Miss Jones said when I asked her. She even showed me some pictures in a book. It looked great.

But Bobby also says that Ultraman is real, and that’s why Japan is so safe. He reckons he even has a special phone too if there’s ever any trouble. I asked Miss Jones again but she has never heard of him, so she couldn’t help me.

Can you? Is it true?

Kevin (10), London.

Well Kevin, your friend Bobby is right. I’m not quite sure about the phone part, but yes, Ultraman is always on hand to help protect the people of Tokyo. In fact, only last week I witnessed the man himself fending off a few fiends who seemed intent on ruining a small outdoor concert.

How he found out I don’t know (so maybe Bobby is right about the phone), but before the monsters could cause any real mayhem,

Ultraman defiantly dealt with them.

His karate-like kicks were very impressive too.

In fact, everyone was so relieved, that the event organiser even overlooked the masked marvel taking a sneaky peek at one of the presenter’s legs as she thanked him for his actions.

You see Kevin, even super heroes like looking at girls sometimes.
