Heisei era Ultra Heroes

The Heisei era (平成,   Heisei), or Heisei period (平成時代,   Heisei Jidai), was a political period in Japan which started after the Showa era in 1989 when Emperor Akihito took the throne. Ultraman Series installments from 1996 to 2013 have been identified as the Heisei Ultraman Series (平成ウルトラマンシリーズ,   Heisei Urutoraman Shirīzu) or the Second Generation.[1] While the New Generation Heroes Series began towards the end of the Heisei era, it is not counted in the Heisei Ultraman Series due to them being a part of the Third Generation of Ultraman.

The era was succeeded by the Reiwa era in 2019.
