SciFi Japan TV (サイファイ・ジャパン・ティービー, Sai Fai Japan Terībī) (abbreviated SFJtv) was a streaming television series of documentaries revolving around Japanese kaiju and tokusatsu movies. The show was shot on location in Japan and generally featured interviews with filmmakers and movie-related events. Every episode was released bilingually for both Japanese- and English-speaking audiences.[1]

The main series began in August 2012 and ended in December 2014, followed by the occasional special episode.[2] It was produced by ACTV Japan (formerly under the "Gaijin Channel" brand until episode 13) in Tokyo, Japan, for the American website SciFi JAPAN.[3]
