While ''Series/DoctorWho'' has been an international pop-culture mainstay ever since its 2005 revival, for much of its lifetime its cultural relevance was limited to the British isles. However, attempts were made to expand its reach; most famously was [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the 1996 TV movie]], intended to help the show reach America, but less-well known is the Japanese version from the 1980s. Created by a Japanese {{Tokusatsu}} production company on license from the BBC, this adaptation of the show pits Doctor Who against foes such as Dalekor and his Cyber Men, armed with his fists and his Sonic Screw Sword.

!!''Japanese Doctor Who'' provides examples of the following tropes:
* AdaptationalBadass: Rather than a BadassPacifist like the Doctor traditionally is, Doctor Who is a much more martial character, willing to use both his fists and the Sonic Screw Sword to dispatch his foes.
* BloodlessCarnage: When struck by Doctor Who's attacks, the Cyber Men are knocked back before disappearing in flashes of light.
* BrownNote: When Doctor Who plays the Sonic Screw Sword, it apparently causes Dalekor significant pain.
* CompositeCharacter: "Dalekor" is apparently a single individual rather than an entire species.
* TheGreys: The Cyber Men, thanks to their costumes including [[OffTheShelfFX alien Halloween masks]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Sonic Screw Sword is a giant screwdriver attached to the bottom half of a recorder.
* MachineMonotone: The Cyber Men. Dalekor also has a robotic filter over his voice, but is much more emotional and braggadocious.
* NoBudget: [[https://www.wired.co.uk/article/japanese-doctor-who Explicitly an aim]] of Kahan, who sought to create the film with as little money as possible, which helps to replicate the aesthetics of 1980s Doctor Who and tokusatsu.
* OffTheShelfFX: Dalekor's costume is primarily made of a plastic trash bin, and the Cyber Men wear grey alien masks. Doctor Who's suit, possibly the most expensive part of the production, cost £30.
* PokemonSpeak: The Cyber Men only repeat "*cyber...*" over and over. When running into battle they shout "cycycycycycycycy...".
* ShoutOut:
** The entire concept of a Japanese tokusatsu adaptation of a Western show is an allusion to [[Series/SpiderManJapan]].
** Doctor Who's white disco suit and NiceHat seem to be designed after [[Series/JAKQDengekitai Big One's]] distinctive civilian dress.
** The plain black bodysuits of the Cyber Men evoke the [[Series/KamenRider1971 Shocker combatmen]].
** Doctor Who's Sonic Screw Sword can be played as a flute, similar to the [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Zyusouken]]/[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Dragon Dagger]].
