Japanese superhero serves as postmaster

Ultraman Mebius serves as postmaster for a day in Nagoya

NAGOYA -- Popular Japanese character and crime fighter "Ultraman Mebius" turned up at Nagoya Naka Post Office on Friday to take on the role of postmaster for a day.

The post office, located in Nagoya's Naka-ku, welcomed Ultraman as a gesture after Postal Commemoration Day on Thursday.

"We're trying our best as we head toward privatization. Mebius has given us energy," said 58-year-old postmaster Yoshinori Suganuma after Ultraman's arrival.
