Centered as it was around an early and highly successful example of the gestalt robot kaiju fighter, the series was credited by The New York Times in his obituary as having “helped prepare the way for other Japanese-style animation in the United States.” During its run from 1984 to 1987, Voltron was the top-ranked syndicated children’s program. It brought forth several spinoffs and merchandise licensing deals. The Voltron series was created by Keefe, in partnerships with Jameson Brewer, Marc Handler, Franklin Cofod, and others, by cutting and pasting bits of the Japanese cartoons Beast King GoLion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV. Keefe licensed the programs in 1983 and updated the scripts for American audiences with less violence than the originals, removing Japanese locations and cultural information to allow the material to be marketed worldwide.
