Kaiju Booska

Kaiju Booska (快獣ブースカ Kaijū Būsuka?, translated as Monster Booska) is a famous children's tokusatsu sitcom, and the first to feature the friendly monsterBooska. Produced by Tsuburaya Productions, the show aired on Nippon TV from November 9, 1966 to September 27, 1967, with a total of 47 episodes. Booska is the name of a cute, friendly human-sized   kaiju   (monster) that looks like a cross between a bucktoothed   teddy bear   and a   giraffe. It was originally an iguana   until its owner fed it experimental food, a similar concept to the cartoon   Ned's Newt. Created by   Eiji Tsuburaya, Booska made his debut in the popular 1966 children's TV series,   Monster Booska , produced by   Tsuburaya Productions   (which had just created   Ultraman   months earlier).
