Casshan, also known in Japan as Neo-Human Casshern (Japanese: 新造人間キャシャーン, Hepburn: Shinzō Ningen Kyashān), is an anime series created by Tatsunoko Production founder Tatsuo Yoshida in 1973. The Casshern franchise also includes a 1993 original video animation titled Casshan: Robot Hunter, and a 2004 live-action adaptation titled Casshern.
