Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman) is a 5 member superhero team from the 70s created by Tatsuo Yoshida and originally produced in Japan by Tatsunoko Pro and later adapted into several English language versions. It is also known by the abbreviated name Gatchaman.
The original series (produced in 1972) is most well-known to the English-speaking world as the adaptation titled Battle of the Planets.
The title is unofficially called as G-Force (not to be confused with the subsequent 1980s English language adaptation of Gatchaman, known as G-Force: Guardians of Space). Tatsunoko also uses the official translation Science Commando Gatchaman, as shown in numerous related products and media.
The first Gatchaman feature film was released in 1978. A second feature film version of Gatchaman was in development by Imagi Animation Studios for release in 2012 until it was canceled. A live-action feature film was released in 2013.
