[Urutoraman Taro Urutora no Haha wa Taiyo no yo ni]

The tale of the 6th Ultra Brother, Ultraman Taro, starts here! A penniless wanderer, known by Kotaro Higashi, decides to settle in Japan after a long, worldwide voyage. However, the sudden appearance of a Terrible-Monster spurs the young man's spirit into action, using his wits and surroundings to help the Zariba of All Territory (ZAT) however he can. Meanwhile, a Tigris Flower he had planted grows exponentially, leading to the birth of Astromons. After the dueling monsters confront each other and ZAT, Kotaro enlists for ZAT to better assist them in their endeavors. When Astromons reappears, Kotaro and ZAT team up to take down the menace–and ultimately find the power needed to become Ultraman Taro...
