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 an unnamed birdlike yokai in episode 31.
- The head of the Sodehikikozo appears to be a heavily altered Garuma head from Warrior of Love Rainbowman.
- 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.[3]
- 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.[4]
- 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).
Notes
- ↑ Some sources erroneously describe the pronunciation of 行け as Yuke (ゆけ).
