Ultraman's Alien Baltan Celebrates Coming of Age Day: "Fofofo, Fofofofo!"
On January 13, in celebration of Coming of Age Day in Japan, Tsuburaya Productions’ official X (formerly Twitter) account shared a heartfelt message from Ultraman’s iconic Alien Baltan.
Accompanied by the hashtags #ComingOfAgeDay and #SeijinNoHi (a playful pun meaning "Star-being Day"), the post featured an image of Alien Baltan alongside a congratulatory message:
"Congratulations to all new adults! Representing all extraterrestrial beings, Alien Baltan sends you their blessings."
Alien Baltan’s classic laugh, "Fofofo, Fofofofo!" was translated in the post to mean:
"We cheer for the bright future and success of all new adults."
