Production notes

Originally released as a 111-minute TV special.

Based on Motoo Abiko's 1974 manga, which was serialized in such publications for youngsters as "Mommy," "Baby Book" and "Corocoro Comic." Abiko was one-half of the Fujiko-Fujio duo, but split from his creative partner Hiroshi Fujimoto in the 1980s.

A TV series was released in 1985. It ran for 147 episodes.

"Progolfer Saru: Saru in USA," another TV-movie, was released in 1985; it ran for 96 movies. New characters included Hawkwild.

This was followed by two theatrical films: the 44-minute "Progolfer Saru: Challenge of Super Golf World" (1986) and the 75-minute "Progolfer Saru: Koga's Secret Zone- the Shadow Ninja Golfer" (1987).
