Tsuburaya Productions` popular series ULTRAMAN TIGA (Uritoraman Taiga) has returned to television in Southern California. The show is currently airing on the independent Japanese language TV station UTB (United Television Broadcasting Systems, Inc.) in Hollywood. ULTRAMAN TIGA was originally shown in Japan from 1996-97. The program was a hit, running for 52 episodes and leading to several theatrical features and video specials. An edited and English dubbed version of the TV series debuted in the United States on the FOX Network in 2002 as part of 4Kids Entertainment`s initial "Fox Box" Saturday morning lineup.
