Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Zebraman is a 2004 film directed by Takashi Miike.A satire/homage of Japanese tokusatsu television, such as Kamen Rider or Super Sentai, this funny and touching movie follows Shinichi Ichikawa, a Japanese father and school teacher. Unappreciated by his family and colleagues, Ichikawa finds solace in daydreaming about his childhood television hero, Zebraman, and an Odd Friendship with a young fan, Shinpei Asano. When mysterious sightings of monsters and aliens begin to spread panic in his neighborhood, Ichikawa begins developing supernatural talents of his own and defending the frightened citizens.In the sequel, Zebraman 2: Assault on Zebra City, Ichikawa finds himself 20 Minutes into the Future, when scientist Kozue Aihara has somehow made use of the Zebraman motif to turn Japan into a Crapsack World, and his daughter Yui is the face of the empire. Fortunately Ichikawa still has allies, like the now adult Asano - except thanks to Laser-Guided Amnesia, he doesn't even remember how it began and why it's his business to begin with...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with Zebra Girl. | |

Ascended Fanboy: Ichikawa's sad life revolves around the unpopular superhero whose television show was canceled after only seven episodes. | |

Animal Stereotypes: A zebra makes no more sense than a bat, if you think about it. | |

| Zebraman / int_7a87fa80 | comment |
Animal-Themed Superbeing: Zebraman is probably type II since his animal identity is more of an alias. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
| Zebraman / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: With a touch of Make My Monster Grow, because this is the sort of Japanese story where the boss grows in size at the final battle, for no reason other than to step on buildings and force the hero to come up with a new plan of attack. Satirized in the dream sequence midway through the film with the crab-themed villain, with really bad, obvious Forced Perspective. | |

Art Shift: The quality of costumes, choreography, and special effects changes through the film, with a few surreal surprises. Ichikawa grows into the role and the look and tone of the movie change accordingly. | |
