This is a lost Japanese superhero show from 1972. All thats available online is the intro here:

Apparently the master tapes were accidentally wiped after its only rebroadcast sometime in the early 80s. Thats where this surviving intro clip comes from, somebody recorded it during that rebroadcast (it is thought to have been around 1982 or 83 when it was shown again).
My question is, there has to be at least a full episode recorded out there, I would think. I doubt somebody only recorded the intro- but you never know.
This seems to be the only truly "lost" and the source material destroyed in the Japanese superhero genre- even other rarities like Thunder Mask, UFO Tatake Red Tiger, and the anime adaptation of Rainbowman, all despite only having one to a handful of episodes available the original master copies are known to exist in their respective studios archive.
What makes Totsugeki Hyuman interesting is that it seems to have been quite popular for its time. Tons of books, toys, soundtrack records, and more were produced. Its also the only tokusatsu series to have been filmed in front of a live audience (aside for outdoor scenes)
