Tokusatsu

Okay kiddo, so you know how you love watching superheroes on TV? Well, in Japan, they have their own type of superheroes called "tokusatsu."

Tokusatsu combines live-action footage with special effects, kind of like how they make movies with CGI. But instead of just making the effects on a computer, tokusatsu uses practical effects like robots, suits, and explosions.

One of the most famous examples of a tokusatsu show is "Power Rangers," but there are also lots of other popular shows and movies like "Ultraman," "Kamen Rider," and "Godzilla."

Basically, tokusatsu is all about cool special effects, unique costumes, and amazing fight scenes. It's like a live-action version of your favorite superhero cartoons!
