The official Twitter accounts for Studio Khara and his wife Moyoko Anno posted photos of Hideaki Anno wearing a red hood and a T-shirt with the logo of “Ultraman 60” (a parody of Tsuburaya Production’s tokusatsu series Ultraman 80) to celebrate his Kanreki / 60th birthday.
In Japan, Kanreki is celebrated by wearing red clothes, such as cape and vest.
After the film is completed, he is scheduled to join the production of Shin Ultraman directed by Shinji Higuchi.
