Series: Moonlight Mask

Moonlight Mask (translated from Gekko Kamen) was Japan's first tokusatsu series from 1958. It was very popular with kids, but was cancelled due to a kid dying trying to imitate the titular character's stunts. It was later adapted into an anime in the 70s and again in the 90s.

Definitely not to be confused with Kekko Kamen (although the latter was named in parody of the former).

This series provides examples of:

Badass Normal: No superpowers for this hero.
Badass Biker: Moonlight Mask rides a bike everywhere.
Blasting It out of Their Hands
Cult: Moonlight Mask fights one in the Mammoth Kong story arc.
Expository Theme Tune: "Who is Moonlight Mask?"
Film Serial
Guns Akimbo
Kaiju: Mammoth Kong, who was the first TV Kaiju.
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Moonlight Mask's mantra: Do Not Hate. Do Not Kill. (the crime)Let's prevent it. Though he has no problem killing Mooks.
Television Serial
