West Palm Beach, FL – April 3, 2018 – As part of its efforts to provide its audience with top-rated Asian-Pacific entertainment, TOKU, the only 24/7 live and on demand television network dedicated to eye-catching anime, popular live-action titles and cult classics from Asia dubbed into English, will feature for the first time in the U.S. the highly-anticipated tokusatsu television series, Ultraman Cosmos. 

Starting April 23, weekdays at 7 p.m. EST, the TOKU audience will be able to enjoy one of the most popular titles in the Ultra franchise, Ultraman Cosmos.
