I agree with ljacone, Voltron is likely Super Robot Anime as well, which Super Sentai overlaps with a bit.

Robot, no robot, henshin, no henshin, for boys, for girls or adults only, none of these matters.

Tokusatsu is a filming catergory based on how it is made; it has nothing to do with the content.
It is paralleled to animated show/animation/anime.
Since anime is the "Japanese term for animation", you can understand Tokusatsu as the "Japanese term for live action".

So when there is a title/brand (Rider, Sailor Moon, Transformers etc.), it can be filmed as either animation OR tokusatsu.

Yes, Dagwon is filled with nods to tokusatsu (majorly Ultraman and Sentai). However, toku has a huge cultural influence in Japan, giving these references in an anime isn't a rare thing. It's been done long ago.
They DID make real costumes, for live promotions and commercial shorts

So this commercial short is catergorized as TOKU, while the major TV-series is still delivered as an animation show...

Same case with Skullman(2007), they have the prequel episode done as TOKU, while the rest of the show is animation.
