'''''Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka''''' {{Nihongo|行け！{{Ruby|牛|うし}}{{Ruby|若|わか}}{{Ruby|小|こ}}{{Ruby|太|た}}{{Ruby|郎|ろう}}|Ike! Ushiwaka Kotarō}} is a [[Japan]]ese [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Television Series|series]] produced by [[Toho]] that aired from November 12, 1974 to April 5, 1975. It is a followup series to ''[[Go! Greenman]]'' and the fourth in a series of tokusatsu shows primarily produced by Toho and [[Nippon TV]], though it does not share canon with any of the shows preceding it.
'''''Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka''''' {{Nihongo|行け！{{Ruby|牛|うし}}{{Ruby|若|わか}}{{Ruby|小|こ}}{{Ruby|太|た}}{{Ruby|郎|ろう}}|Ike Ushiwaka Kotarō}}<ref name="IkeYuke" group="note">Some sources erroneously describe the pronunciation of 行け as ''Yuke'' {{Nihongo|ゆけ}}.</ref> is a [[Japan]]ese [[tokusatsu]] [[:Category:Television Series|series]] produced by [[Toho Planning]] that aired daily from November 12, 1974 to April 25, 1975. A successor to ''[[Go! Greenman]]'', it was the fourth and final series to be aired on ''[[Nippon TV|Good Morning! Kid's Show]]''{{'}}s tokusatsu block, though it does not share continuity with any of the shows preceding it.
 
''Kotaro Ushiwaka'' uniquely did not feature a giant hero fighting kaiju, rather taking cues from period dramas with Japanese folklore creatures as a major focus. Despite the show's incorporation of some classical Japanese elements, such as the pre-Meiji period currency ''ryō'', numerous episodes take place in modern settings, thus making its intended time period unclear. While Toho's previous shows for the corner were divided into 3- to 6-episode sagas, ''Kotaro Ushiwaka'' aired 156 original stories. The show was reaired on [[wikipedia:Family Gekijo|Family Gekijo]] in 2004, though its broadcast order was rearranged and 30 episodes were cut entirely.

{{Plot Missing}}
When the evil fox yokai [[Coonjo]] set her [[minions of Coonjo|loyal minions]] on the people of [[Japan]], a mysterious being with the ability to harness sunlight appeared to stop them. The hero, a man named [[Kotaro Ushiwaka]] hailing from a region of the Sun itself, took up the role of a nomad, traveling the country in search of Coonjo's yokai recruits. Following her defeat at the hands of Ushiwaka, Coonjo rallied her surviving troops and summoned the yokai [[Aobozu]] to lead a counterattack against him. During his travels, Ushiwaka met a drunkard and strongman named [[Nyudo]], who professed himself to be skilled in yokai hunting. Coonjo and her followers suddenly appeared to confront Nyudo, who was in fact deathly afraid of yokai, but was protected by Ushiwaka. Later, Coonjo abducted Nyudo and held him captive with the assistance of Aobozu and the last of her minions, but they were again foiled by Ushiwaka, sealing his allyship with Nyudo.

Her followers now wiped out, Coonjo turned to the various spirits, demons and other creatures of Japan as potential allies. Kotaro soon met another fox yokai, [[Uragira]], whose greed brought him into conflict with the demon [[Onibaba]]. When Kotaro protected him, Uragira vowed to aid him in his campaign, secretly seizing the opportunity to travel in search of riches. Kotaro and Uragira travelled far and wide, gradually fending off each of Coonjo's subordinates and schemes with the help of Nyudo, while engaging in their own misadventures along the way. Eventually, Coonjo performed a ritual to infuse a plate of onigiri with the deceased spirits [[Shirei]], tricking Uragira and Nyudo into eating them and turning them against their own companion. Luckily, Kotaro managed to exercise the Shirei from the pair before throwing one of the cursed onigiri into Coonjo's mouth. Now herself possessed, Coonjo wandered off in a daze, leaving the trio to reunite victorious.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*''Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka'' was the last of the four [[tokusatsu]] shows to be featured in [[Nippon TV|Nippon Television]]'s ''[[Nippon_TV#Good_Morning.21_Kid.27s_Show|Good Morning! Kid's Show]]'' segment, preceded by ''Redman'', ''[[Go! Godman]]'', and ''[[Go! Greenman]]''.
*''Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka'' is the only one of ''Good Morning! Kid's Show''{{'}}s tokusatsu series to not reuse monsters from earlier productions; ''Redman''{{'}}'s monster roster consisted entirely of characters reused from [[Tsuburaya Productions]]' series, while ''[[Go! Godman]]'' and ''[[Go! Greenman]]'' featured numerous characters from [[Toho]]'s [[kaiju]] [[:Category:Kaiju Films|films]] as well as the shows ''Chibikko Special'' and ''[[Assault! Human!!]]'', respectively. However, many partial suits from various companies were reused to portray the show's yokai.
**It is also the first and only ''Good Morning! Kid's Show'' series where the titular hero's name does not contain the word "man."
**[[Monro]]'s head from ''[[Kure Kure Takora]]'', which is in extremely poor condition, was altered and reused for the Perceptive Yokai, Doll Yokai, and the haunted egg yokai in episode 31.
*''Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka'' was filmed in cooperation with [[wikipedia:Yomiuriland|Yomiuriland]] (episode 49), the {{Plain link|[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/箱根小涌園#こどもの村 Hakonekowaki Park Children's Village]}} (episodes 50, 111), [[wikipedia:Fuji-Q Highland|Fuji-Q Highland]] (episodes 81, 86, 101, 129, 134), {{Plain link|[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ぐりんぱ Japan Land]}} (episodes 91, 95, 106, 139, 144), and {{Plain link|[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/マザー牧場 Mother Farm]}} (episodes 98-99, 104, 109, 114, 119, 124).
**The head of the Sodehikikozo appears to be a heavily altered [[Garuma]] head from ''[[Warrior of Love Rainbowman (1972 series)|Warrior of Love Rainbowman]]''.
*A number of pieces of suits from previous [[tokusatsu]] productions were reused to portray some of the Yokai in the series.
**Hyosube's head appears to be reused from one of [[Maoh]]'s [[minions of Maoh|minions]] from ''Go! Greenman'', though repainted green and with new facial features sculpted over top.
**[[Monro]]'s head from ''[[Kure Kure Takora]]'', which is in extremely poor condition, was altered and reused for the Perceptive Yokai, Doll Yokai, and an unnamed birdlike Yokai in episode 31.

Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka
Air date November 12, 1974 - April 25, 1975
Producer(s) Masaaki Hisamatsu
Production company Toho Planning
Channel(s) Nippon Television,

Genre(s) Tokusatsu, fantasy
Episodes 156[1]

Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka (行け！牛 (うし)若 (わか)小 (こ)太 (た)郎 (ろう),   Ike Ushiwaka Kotarō)[note 1] is a Japanese tokusatsu series produced by Toho Planning that aired daily from November 12, 1974 to April 25, 1975. A successor to Go! Greenman, it was the fourth and final series to be aired on Good Morning! Kid's Show's tokusatsu block, though it does not share continuity with any of the shows preceding it.

Kotaro Ushiwaka uniquely did not feature a giant hero fighting kaiju, rather taking cues from period dramas with Japanese folklore creatures as a major focus. Despite the show's incorporation of some classical Japanese elements, such as the pre-Meiji period currency ryō, numerous episodes take place in modern settings, thus making its intended time period unclear. While Toho's previous shows for the corner were divided into 3- to 6-episode sagas, Kotaro Ushiwaka aired 156 original stories. The show was reaired on Family Gekijo in 2004, though its broadcast order was rearranged and 30 episodes were cut entirely.

Plot

When the evil fox yokai Coonjo set her loyal minions on the people of Japan, a mysterious being with the ability to harness sunlight appeared to stop them. The hero, a man named Kotaro Ushiwaka hailing from a region of the Sun itself, took up the role of a nomad, traveling the country in search of Coonjo's yokai recruits. Following her defeat at the hands of Ushiwaka, Coonjo rallied her surviving troops and summoned the yokai Aobozu to lead a counterattack against him. During his travels, Ushiwaka met a drunkard and strongman named Nyudo, who professed himself to be skilled in yokai hunting. Coonjo and her followers suddenly appeared to confront Nyudo, who was in fact deathly afraid of yokai, but was protected by Ushiwaka. Later, Coonjo abducted Nyudo and held him captive with the assistance of Aobozu and the last of her minions, but they were again foiled by Ushiwaka, sealing his allyship with Nyudo.

Her followers now wiped out, Coonjo turned to the various spirits, demons and other creatures of Japan as potential allies. Kotaro soon met another fox yokai, Uragira, whose greed brought him into conflict with the demon Onibaba. When Kotaro protected him, Uragira vowed to aid him in his campaign, secretly seizing the opportunity to travel in search of riches. Kotaro and Uragira travelled far and wide, gradually fending off each of Coonjo's subordinates and schemes with the help of Nyudo, while engaging in their own misadventures along the way. Eventually, Coonjo performed a ritual to infuse a plate of onigiri with the deceased spirits Shirei, tricking Uragira and Nyudo into eating them and turning them against their own companion. Luckily, Kotaro managed to exercise the Shirei from the pair before throwing one of the cursed onigiri into Coonjo's mouth. Now herself possessed, Coonjo wandered off in a daze, leaving the trio to reunite victorious.

Trivia

  • Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka is the only one of Good Morning! Kid's Show's tokusatsu series to not reuse monsters from earlier productions; Redman''s monster roster consisted entirely of characters reused from Tsuburaya Productions' series, while Go! Godman and Go! Greenman featured numerous characters from Toho's kaiju films as well as the shows Chibikko Special and Assault! Human!!, respectively. However, many partial suits from various companies were reused to portray the show's yokai.
    • Monro's head from Kure Kure Takora, which is in extremely poor condition, was altered and reused for the Perceptive Yokai, Doll Yokai, and the haunted egg yokai in episode 31.
    • The head of the Sodehikikozo appears to be a heavily altered Garuma head from Warrior of Love Rainbowman.
    • Hyosube's head appears to be reused from one of Maoh's minions from Go! Greenman, though repainted green and with new facial features sculpted over top.
    • Kappalge's body from Go! Greenman is used for that of the Strongman Yokai Raigo and the Proficient Yokai.
    • Multiple pieces from the Devilas from Triple Fighter are reused, a head for an unnamed banquet yokai in episode 54 and a bodysuit and gloves for the Fukikeshibaba.
    • The head of the Gashadokuro is a repainted Golden Bat head from a Golden Bat live show. Toho previously reused a suit from the show to portray Foxaus in Go! Greenman.[4]
    • The body Hotter uses in Go! Greenman is reused for the Bat Yokai Burusagari in episode 76 and an unnamed territorial Yokai in episode 150.
    • The head piece of Gilagind from Spectreman is used for that of the Darkness Yokai.
    • The gloves and boots of the Drunkard Yokai from episode 103 appear to be reused from Rainbowman's Dash 2 form, though the former are repainted.[5]
    • Stegodzillas' body from Go! Greenman is used for the Strong Yokai in episode 123.
  • Ironically, Ryoichi Tanaka and Takashi Taguchi, who voice the show's protagonists Kotaro Ushiwaka and Uragira, previously portrayed Go! Greenman's primary antagonists, Maoh and Tonchiki, respectively.
  • Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka was filmed in cooperation with Yomiuriland (episode 49), the Hakonekowaki Park Children's Village (episodes 50, 111), Fuji-Q Highland (episodes 81, 86, 101, 129, 134), Japan Land (episodes 91, 95, 106, 139, 144) and Mother Farm (episodes 98-99, 104, 109, 114, 119, 124).
