We posted this on Facebook yesterday but it's just too cool not to blog about. One of our producers, Mici Falvo, has family in Japan and brought back a "Super Sentai Book" with her that details the full history of the Power Rangers franchise. Most people know that MMPR was born in Japan and even the current running TV shows still originate in Japan. What may be news to some is that what we know as the Power Rangers over here is called the "Super Sentai" overseas. The first series, "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger debuted in Japan in 1975.
A total of 15 additional versions of the series were released before the American "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" was created based on the "Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger" Japanese series in 1993. Over the years, the franchise evolved into the Rangers our generation grew to love.
- A total of 38 Super Sentai series have been released since 1975. We are so excited to contribute to the outstanding legacy well established by both the Japanese and American franchises.
