Expertise
I`m a pop culture freak who loves TV, old and new... ask me about classic TV, new TV, commercials, jingles, cartoons, Saturday morning shows, you name it. If I don`t know it, I can find it out... Believe it or not, I even know some of the infomercials by heart.. "Set it and forget it!"

Experience
Lots of time reading the TV Guide, and way too many nights of insomnia...

Subject: I cannot find this show or character online!

Question
A military brat, I spent my early childhood in Japan.  I recall a live-action show that starred a 'robot' - clearly someone in a costume.  The robot was red and looked like an upside-down half of a capsule, his arms/legs looked like silver covered slinkies, and he had a pink heart on his chest that sometimes glowed.  This would have been around 1975-77.  If you can track down the name of that robot, I would be very grateful!  I and all my friends collected toys from this show, so it was fairly popular in its day.  Damned if I kept any of the darn things...

Answer
Sirona...

Pretty sure the character you are talking about is "Ultraman." It was a Japanese TV show that moved to America sometime around 1976... see if this helps your memory any...

Hope this helps,
