Hyou-Man (1967)

Ultra obscure Japanese TV pilot episode proposal. Created by P-Productions in 1967. Weird tokusatsu action with very low-tech effects and animation. This time our hero is transformed into a Leopard-Man (wearing a nice tie) in a secret underground science laboratory. He slowly grows fur through a sequence of awkward fades and cuts, like so many werewolf films that have come before. This show was never made into a television series, which is a darn shame. Pure Z-Grade heaven.

This appears to be an early prototype for P-Productions later popular Saturday morning TV show from 1973... TETSUJIN TIGER SEVEN.

Very awesome. Is the cape organic? That would be useful if he shed drapes, since most cats can't help but shred those things.
