Megaloman (メガロマン Megaroman), real name Takashi Shishido (獅子堂 たかし Shishidō Takashi), is a kaijin created by Toho that first appeared in the 1979 tokusatsu kaiju series, Megaloman.
Design
Megaloman looks like a cross between Ultraman and Godman. He wears a full red suit that has silver areas around his pectorals, abs, and lower body. On his legs, his red suit fades into silver and ends at his silver boots. There are also silver markings on his lower arms. His skin is the same silver color as on his suit, with red stripes going down his face. His eyes have no pupils or irises and are just completely yellow. Finally, at the top of his head he has long bleach-blonde hair that flows down his back.
