The Ultraman series has been attracting attention again in recent years with the production of "Shin Ultraman" by director Hideaki Anno and the release of this film "ULTRAMAN" on Netflix. What do you like about the Ultraman series? The unique monsters that appear in each story and the attractive Ultramen depicted in each series are one of the great attractions of the Ultraman series, but the appeal of the Ultraman series is not limited to monsters and Ultramen. Another attraction of the Ultraman series is the depiction of the delicate negotiations between humans in the drama parts where monsters do not appear. And the same can be said for this animated work, "ULTRAMAN". So this time, I would like to introduce the attractive characters depicted in this film "ULTRAMAN". We have also ranked the characters as popular characters, so if you are interested, please check it out.
10th place: Endo Yosuke
As a detective belonging to the Metropolitan Police Department, he is a person who pursues alien-related cases from a different perspective than the main character Saito. He is also the father of the popular idol Sayama Rena, who appears as the heroine in this work, and is depicted as an adult who guides Rena, who deepens her friendship with the main character.
The generation that knows Ultraman
He is part of the generation that watched Ultraman in action when he was still active on Earth, and he seems to have a special attachment to Ultraman. That's why he seems to be irritated by the fact that a hero who resembles Ultraman is active in this film. It seems that because he truly loves Ultraman, who once protected humanity, he cannot accept the current Ultraman, who he sees as a fake.
9th place: Mitsuhiro Ide
He used to be an active member of the Science Patrol along with Hayata. He is still a member of the Science Patrol and is an important figure who handles cases related to aliens. He is also a person who has knowledge about aliens from various sources, and the information he possesses will be revealed little by little throughout the story.
Developed the Ultraman Suit
He originally participated in the Science Patrol as an engineer, and he is also the person who developed the Ultraman Suit to protect the Earth after Ultraman is gone. It is still a mystery as to what process he went through to develop the Ultraman Suit, which is equipped with advanced technology that is clearly not possible to produce with current human science, and there is no doubt that he will be a person to keep an eye on in the future.
8th place: Dan Moroboshi
A member of the Science Patrol. He has more practical experience than the main character, Shinjiro, and at the beginning he gave various lectures to the main character, Shinjiro, who is not used to fighting. On the other hand, there are many scenes where he shows irritation at the immaturity of Shinjiro, who was just an ordinary high school student until recently, and he clashes with Shinjiro on many occasions.
Wearing the Seven Suit
Moroboshi himself also fights wearing the Seven Suit. He possesses a powerful weapon like a Japanese sword, and is skilled in a fighting style that inflicts damage on opponents with slashing attacks. It seems that it's not just his quick thinking and sharp tongue that are so sharp.
7th place: Red
He is an alien monster who cooperates with the Science Patrol. At first glance, he looks quite vicious, but he fights many aliens together with the main character, Shinjiro, and there is no doubt that he is a person that humanity can rely on despite being an alien. On the other hand, he also has a violent side, just like his appearance, and at the beginning, Shinjiro challenges him to a fight when they first meet.
Disguised as a toddler
He would be too conspicuous if he were to act as a monster, so he disguises himself as a human toddler. He doesn't often show his monster form, so many readers who start reading the story midway through wonder, "How can a 5-year-old speak so fluently?"
6th place: Kotaro Higashi
A man who gained superhuman powers after a boat accident. He is the only character whose process of gaining superhuman powers is clearly depicted, and he will be an important character in solving the mystery of "Why are Hayata and Morohoshi able to use superhuman abilities?"
Active as "Taro"
His original name was Kotaro Higashi, but now he seems to have abandoned the "light" and is living as "Taro". Just like in the "Ultraman Taro" special effects and TV series, he can also use a technique where he covers his entire body in flames and slams into the enemy. This also makes him a very tough fighter.
5th place: Hayata Shin
He once transformed into the original Ultraman and protected the peace of mankind. As depicted in the original Ultraman, he is no longer able to transform into Ultraman. He is quite old and cannot demonstrate the same abilities as before, but he is still one of the most powerful characters in the work.
Retaining the power of the original Ultraman
Although Hayata Shin can no longer transform into Ultraman, he still seems to retain the power of the original Ultraman, even though he cannot transform. He still possesses explosive power and strength that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and can still use some of the power of the original Ultraman.
4th place: Jack
A character who works with Red. As you can see from his appearance, he is a character who is quite good at power-type combat, and his power is the best among the characters wearing Ultraman suits that appear in this work. He was originally an informant in an alien city, so there is still a little uncertainty about his true identity.
US intelligence agent
Currently, we know that he was a US intelligence agent. His suit was also made as military equipment, so he can be said to be a character with a rather unique position in the US military. Since he is a character with a slightly different position from the Science Patrol belonging to Japan, it is quite possible that they will no longer cooperate depending on future developments.
3rd place: Rena Sayama
She is the daughter of Endo, a detective at the Metropolitan Police Department, and is a character who is active as a very popular idol. When she was involved in an alien incident, Ultraman saved her right in front of her eyes, and from then on she began to admire Ultraman. Unlike her father, she is from a generation that does not know the old Ultraman, so for a while she seemed to truly believe that the Ultraman currently active is the real Ultraman.
The heroine of this work
She is the character who can be called the heroine of this work, so she is quite popular in the work. In particular, in a work with many cool characters, she is one of the few characters with a cute appearance, so she is extremely popular with male fans.
Second place: Hokuto Seiji
He is a junior in high school from Shinjiro. He was involved in an aircraft accident at a young age and lost both his arms and legs. He lives with a plane and prosthetic legs, and is a character with a setting similar to Sanada from "Space Battleship Yamato". Having overcome many hardships, he is stronger than most and goes to the front lines to achieve peace for his former benefactor.
Wearing an Ace Suit
As you can see from his characteristic pose with his fists together, he will be wearing an Ace Suit. He and Shinjiro originally attended the same high school, so they seem to get along well. Scenes of them helping each other in battle are also depicted in great detail.
1st place: Hayata Shinjiro
The protagonist of this work and the son of Hayata Shin, the original Ultraman. He was originally an ordinary high school student, but at the beginning of the story, he learns that his father was once Ultraman. After that, of his own volition, he puts on the Ultraman suit and begins to act in the face of various difficulties.
Inheriting the power of Ultraman
Since childhood, he has inherited the power of Ultraman from Hayata Shin, and it seems that he was almost unharmed even when falling from a high place. His abilities also seem to have far exceeded what the Science Patrol had imagined, and it can be said that he is the most powerful character in the work.
Overcoming conflicts to become a warrior of light
Originally a high school student, he will face many conflicts as the story progresses, but he will gradually overcome these hardships with his friends. It will be exciting to see how Shinjiro, who was originally an ordinary high school student, will play an active role and protect the peace of the earth.
Summary
What did you think? This time, we introduced the characters that appear in this work "ULTRAMAN" in a ranking format. After all, the appeal of the Ultraman series is not only the monsters and Ultraman, but also the characters who will be in the drama part.
