Messenger of Allah, known in Japan as Allah no Shisha,[a] is a Japanese tokusatsusuperhero TV series produced by Toei Company starring a young Sonny Chiba, at the time known as Shin'ichi Chiba.[3] It was created by writer Yasunori Kawauchi, who was also responsible for creating Moonlight Mask and Seven Color Mask. The series ran from July 7, 1960 to December 27, 1960 on NET (now TV Asahi) for a total of 26 episodes.
After New Seven Color Mask ended its run, Shin'ichi Chiba continued on to star in Yasunori Kawauchi's swashbuckler adventure Messenger of Allah.[3] The series was inspired by creator Kawauchi's conversion to Islam in 1959.[4]
The title character was the basis for Warrior of Love Rainbowman,[3] which Kawauchi also created and wrote for, and also aired on NET.[5] The film for the first episode is all that exists,[6] which can be found on the Toei Tokusatsu BB website.[7]Messenger of Allah was sponsored by the Kabaya Foods Corporation. The Kabayan Kingdom, His Imperial Highness Coconut and Mammy were named after the sponsor's products "Kabaya Caramel Coconut" and the "Mammy" brand bisquits from Morinaga & Company.[2][3][6]
