Common card · No. 393569

Takuya Yamashiro (山城 拓也, Yamashiro Takuya), also known as Spider-Man (Japanese: スパイダーマン, Hepburn: Supaidāman) and colloquially as the Japanese Spider-Man, is a superhero portrayed by Kōsuke Kayama (Shinji Tōdō), based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. He is the protagonist of Toei's 1978 Spider-Man television series, subsequently reappearing as a supporting character in the 2014–2015 Spider-Verse, the 2018 Spider-Geddon, the 2022–2023 End of the Spider-Verse, and the 2025 Spider-Verse vs. Venomverse comic storylines. The success of Yamashiro and his giant mecha robot Leopardon made Toei adapt the concept to their Super Sentai franchise in Battle Fever J, ultimately making the character the narrative forefather of the Power Rangers.
