When I was given this role, I was very happy and excited that I will now be playing Ultraman, a hero I had always admired. Once I told my family, my mother sent me photos of the Ultraman show I used to attend every year since I was 5. These photos reminded me of how much I had admired Ultraman since I was a child. This time I will be giving this feeling to the kids, and I hope to play Ultraman Taiga that will be remembered by many generations. As I just made my debut, the newly employed member Hiroyuki Kudo overlaps with me a lot. With the support of my elder colleagues, I think I am becoming one with the character. With the amazing cast, staff, and of course those who are watching, I would love for everyone to enjoy ULTRAMAN TAIGA.
