Tokusatsu is a Japanese style of filming live-action film or television drama that uses a lot of heavy special effects. Tokusatsu entertainment often deals in science fiction, fantasy or horror, but films and television shows in other genres can sometimes count as tokusatsu as well. The most popular types of tokusatsu include kaiju(Giant) monster films such as the Godzilla and Gamera film series; superhero TV serials such as the Kamen Rider, Garo series, Super Sentai or Power Rangers for the western favourites of tokusatsu, Metal Hero series and mecha dramas like Giant Robo Super Robot Red Baron and other Mecha drama. Some tokusatsu television programs combine several of these subgenres, for example, the Ultraman, Garo series, Super Sentai series and the Kamen Rider series.
