Most of these creatures were eventually adapted into a manga authored by the late Daiji Kazumine.

* TemporarySubstitute: Masao Nakasone was meant to voice all of Ultraman's speaking lines, but because Nakasone was late to the studio due to traffic, editing staff Hisashi Kondo voiced Ultraman's lines from Episode 1 in his place. As Kondo was not a voice actor by trade, his lack of acting experience gave Ultraman a CreepyMonotone; nonetheless, his performance was well-liked enough that he voiced Ultraman again in the finale.
