Go! Greenman is a tokusatsu tv series by Toho in 1973. It ran from November 12, 1973, to September 27, 1974. It emerged as a follow-up series to Ike! Godman, but the two share no continuity. Compared to Ike! Godman, Go! Greenman has an established plot.
Deep beneath Japan, a demonic creature called Maoh plots his escape after being imprisoned there by God. But, in order to do this, he has to obtain the blood of human children, and summons his sidekick, Tonchiki to assist him. He also uses a legion of Kaiju and clay doll Phantoms (called Maoh-no Teshita) to assist him in his task. However, his plans are quickly foiled after Greenman, a self-described "envoy of God", descends from Space to do battle against Maoh's pawns. After his first battle on Earth, he gives the kids two devices called 'Green Calls', which can be used to summon him whenever the children are in danger.
38. King Kong from King Kong Escapes. Note: Due to copyright reasons the character was simply called "Gorilla". It was the same suit from the film, but looked slightly different due to repairs having been made on it for the show.
46. An evil version of Minilla, the son of Godzilla. None of these monsters are meant to be the same ones in the Toho movies.

Costumes
Like in Godman, Gabara suit was green instead of blue.
Sanda has a new head and wig, and can spray out a mist which makes people sleepy.
Gaira, like Sanda, also has a new head and wig.
The Gargantua costumes in this show are in very poor condition. Not only do the suits look like they are rotting (despite a new paintjob), but tears can clearly be seen in the legs.
The Minilla suit in this show is brand new (and looks very cheaply built) and is not an actual suit from any of the Godzilla films.
The Flasher kaiju (from episode 34) had previously been seen in the show Totsugeki Hyuman. Since Nippon TV co-produced that show, and co-produced this show with Toho, they were able to use the Flasher costumes. Red Rock, Shibiregon, Zarizon, Spider, Giringa, Gejiru, Stalk, Megahertz, Danbarki, Gyraron and Garmeddeon also appeared on Totsugeki Hyuman.
