Redking first appeared in episode 8 of the original Ultraman television series, The Lawless Monster Zone, which aired in Japan in 1966. The skull-faced kaiju became a fan favourite thanks to its brute strength and the famous scene where it hurls boulders at its enemies. Its roar was reused across later Ultra series, cementing it as one of the most recognisable kaiju sounds of the Showa era. Online it lives on in tokusatsu fan edits, monster ranking videos and meme clips that need a genuinely fearsome roar.
About this sound
The Redking roar from Ultraman: a deep, guttural three-second kaiju growl first heard in 1966. Fans use it in monster edits, tokusatsu tributes and dramatic meme reveals.
This is the classic Redking roar, the booming call of Ultraman's most famous monster. It opens with a low, grinding growl that swells into a ragged, gravel-throated bellow, layered with echoing snarls that rumble like an avalanche. The whole sound lasts just over three seconds but carries enormous weight, the unmistakable roar of a Showa-era kaiju asserting dominance. Played over a video it instantly turns any subject into a colossal threat, and creators love the comedy of pairing such a terrifying bellow with harmless everyday moments.
