I spotted a resume from Michael Dobson that said he voiced a character in an unnamed Ultraman film named "Murume." A quick Google search nets me no result. Anyone know if that sounds familiar?
UPDATE:
I was listening to episode 9 of Trevor Devall's podcast where he interviews Karl Willems and Mike Iske, a prolific director and audio engineer at Ocean. By sheer coincidence, Karl mentions working on an animated Ultraman promotional video (first said at 42m04s) he claimed was from the 1960s. Well, he was kind of close. The first animated Ultraman series was 1979-1980's The Ultraman. It just so happens to be that series has a character named Kei Marume.
Karl mentioned The Ultraman was the first thing he worked on in a major capacity. That would date the show's English production to the early-mid 1990s. The bad news is that the series was never put into full production, so this video was never publicly released. Karl owns a copy of it on VHS, but during the podcast he dismissed the idea of releasing it on YouTube due to copyright concerns.
There were two other attempts at dubbing The Ultraman as direct-to-video releases done in the 1980s, though they didn't go far. I'm not sure we ever knew who voiced those dubs, but it wasn't Ocean.
Coincidentally, the podcast episode turned 10 years old last month. A new animated Ultraman production was also just recently announced.
