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.

Ultraman appeared at the post office at 9:30 a.m., and was handed a letter of request from Suganuma, before setting about his tasks in the postmaster’s office.

While he appeared hesitant about using a pen — something he normally doesn’t do — he managed to carry out his duties.
