Toei Fushigi Comedy Series

This article is about a series in the Tokusatsu genre.

The Toei Fushigi Comedy Series (東映不思議コメディーシリーズ, Tōei Fushigi Komedī Shirīzu, "Fushigi" means "mysterious") is a series of Japanese tokusatsu programs produced by Toei Company that feature various superheroes, much like their Super Sentai & Kamen Rider Series. However, these shows mainly focus on cute robots similar to Robocon, cute & unusual creatures, masked individuals who get tracked down by school children, & magical girls. Each one is supposed to invoke mysterious humor, hence the name, as fushigi means 'mystery' in Japanese. This series of programs was shown throughout the 1980s and ended in the early 1990s. All these programs were credited Shotaro Ishinomori as the "original creator".
