Princess Comet (コメットさん, Kometto-san, "Mrs. Comet") is a multimedia franchise beginning with a Japanese television drama series created and produced by International Television Films, a division of the film company Toho. Directed by Ōtsuki Yoshikazu and written by Mamoru Sasaki, it stars Japanese singer and actor Yumiko Kokonoe^[2] in its lead role as Comet, a mischievous girl from the Beta Star sent to Earth after causing mischief who must learn responsibility while using her magical powers to solve her problems. The series aired on TBS from July 3, 1967, to September 24, 1979. A short associated manga series created and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama was released from June 10, 1967 to November 11, 1967.

A second series, created 10 years after the original, is aired on the same network from June 12, 1978 to September 24, 1979, while an anime remake based on aspects from both live action series is produced by Nippon Animation and SynergySP and aired on TV Osaka and TV Tokyo from April 1, 2001 to January 27, 2002.

The first two series are notable for being the first live-action magical girl series produced in Japan, while the first series is the first live-action series released in color.^[3]
