Ultraman Kids is an anime sub-series of the larger Ultraman Series aimed at a very young target audience, featuring child Ultras and aliens encountering day-to-day struggles and going on adventures. The series began with the 1984 short film Ultraman Kids: The Pleasant Friends of Planet M7.8 which was shown alongside Ultraman ZOFFY: Ultra Warriors vs. the Giant Monster Army in theaters.
The short was followed up by the TV series Ultraman Kids Proverb Stories in 1986, then later a sequel series in 1991 titled Ultraman Kids: 30 Million Light-Years in Search of Mother . This second show was more adventure oriented and featured more characters, though mainly focusing on Maa, Pico, Bal, and a new character named Piko (not to be confused with Hanuman's human host) based upon Yullian.
The series can be watched on Plex, Roku, Vudu, Shout! TV, and Tubi.
