In [[Tsuburaya Productions]]'s ''[[Ultra Series]]'', an alien named Dada was inspired by the Dadaism movement, with said character first appearing in episode 28 of the 1966 [[tokusatsu]] series, ''[[Ultraman (1966 TV series)|Ultraman]]'', its design by character artist [[Toru Narita]]. Dada's design is primarily monochromatic, and features numerous sharp lines and alternating black and white stripes, in reference to the movement and, in particular, to [[chessboard]] and [[Go (game)|Go]] patterns. On May 19, 2016, in celebration to the 100 year anniversary of Dadaism in Tokyo, the Ultra Monster was invited to meet the Swiss Ambassador Urs Bucher.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m-78.jp/news/n-3812/|script-title=ja:「三面怪人 ダダ」が「ダダイズム100周年」を祝福!スイス大使館で開催された記者発表会に登場!|publisher=m-78.jp|language=ja|date=2016-05-19|access-date=2016-06-08|archive-date=2016-06-23|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160623003238/http://m-78.jp/news/n-3812/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tokusatsunetwork.com/2016/05/dada-celebrates-dadaisms-birthday/|title=Dada Celebrates Dadaism's 100th Anniversary|publisher=tokusatsunetwork.com|date=2016-05-19|access-date=2016-06-08|archive-date=2018-09-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180916130236/http://tokusatsunetwork.com/2016/05/dada-celebrates-dadaisms-birthday/|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Butoh]], the Japanese dance-form originating in 1959, can be considered to have direct connections to the spirit of the Dada movement, as [[Tatsumi Hijikata]], one of Butoh's founders, "was influenced early in his career by Dadaism".<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/01/magazine/butoh-dance-of-darkness.html |title=Butoh: Dance of Darkness |newspaper=The New York Times |date=November 1987 |access-date=2019-09-25 |archive-date=2019-09-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190925054359/https://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/01/magazine/butoh-dance-of-darkness.html |url-status=live |last1=Loke |first1=Margarett }}</ref>
