Production

[edit]

Other previously appointed staffs include Mamoru Sasaki as the writer, and multiple crews who have participated in Toei's Kamen Rider franchise.[2] Yuasa and Sasaki, along with Yoji Hashimoto, once attempted to produce a television series of Daimajin in 1960s, however it was cancelled due to budgetary problem and predictable storyline of the franchise.[3]
