| Synopsis | The Man Who Wanted to Be UltramanTsuburaya Productions、 during the production of a new Ultraman film、 decides to use a large number of CG images to appeal to not only a Japanese audience but also a global one. This transition makes it impossible to continue creating traditional tokusatsu (special effects) works. Hiroshi Asami、 the longest-serving craftsman who has spent 20 years creating suit monsters and studying their movements、 is reassigned to perform inside an Ultraman suit for a theme park attraction. Just before this decision、 Toru、 a boy who is a passionate Ultraman fan、 and his mother had often visited the tokusatsu studio、 deepening the friendship with Hiroshi. Therefore、 this sudden career shift deeply disappointed Hiroshi.
