What about the "Ultra Man" from "My Secret Identity"?
I recall they had to change the show's theme song because
it had the word "Ultra Man"
You never know what you'll see
When you unlock a mystery
Sometimes this double life gets out of hand
But it's all in a day's work,
Jirass is a monster created by modifying Godzilla's suit, and I was surprised to later realize that adults at the time had already (unofficially) fulfilled a dream matchup that I had also imagined as a child. The fact that there is a scene where its frill is torn off for the fans, and that it is defeated quietly, shows respect for Godzilla fans, which is nice. It may never be the main character in a story again, but it is a well-known figure that is given priority to blend into scenes with a large number of monsters. I also like this monster because of its cute design from that time.
