There were attempts at Toku in both China and Korea, but they settled for CGI shows which are easier to make. Korea's Miniforce especially got big enough to have Chinese-produced Toku spinoffs.

That's why Armor Hero brought over Japanese talent (suits, suit actors, action directors) during the first two seasons, something that's probably difficult to do in Korea for cultural reasons. This Japanese involvement has also developed into a problem for Armor Hero's owners since they are now trying to market it as a "homegrown" Toku.
