Meeting with Cosmos
Musashi Haruno was a fifth grader who dreamed of meeting Ultraman. One night he met Cosmos after his battle with the Baltan, and revived him using sunlight. Cosmos then left him a blue gem which gave Musashi the ability to summon the power of the hero.

Battle Against Baltan
During Baltan's raid on the city, Musashi tried to summon the hero but he couldn't. He was forced to watch as the Alien Invader destroyed everything in his path.

Later on, after Baltan was awoken by Shark's Jets, Musashi managed to summon the blue and silver gentle hero. Cosmos then fought Baltan and both of them were evenly matched until Baltan morphed into his Second form: "Neo Baltan." He was overwhelmed until he transformed into Corona Mode and gained the upper hand, managing to overpower the alien invader. The hero then used the Naybuster Ray and managed to knock the alien down. The alien realized what he had done as he just wanted to let his offspring to live on. It failed and he killed himself in grief. Just before he died, Cosmos turned back into Luna Mode and used the Luna Shootless on the alien invader as his body was recovered by the Child Baltans. The military tried to kill Cosmos with their missiles, but was stopped by Musashi and his father. After finishing his battle against Baltan, Cosmos left Musashi as the Earth was safe once again.

Ultraman Cosmos (Series)
Joining forces with Cosmos Musashi now 19 years old, joins a wing of SRC known as Team EYES. He goes to Kapuya island to see Lidorias. As he saw that Lidorias was infected by an evil energy that were revealed to be Chaos Organisms, he goes to chase Lidorias that appeared in the city and Cosmos returned once again, joining forces with Musashi. Musashi himself transformed into Ultraman Cosmos and fought with Chaos Lidorias and managed to calm her down using the Luna Shootless. Both Musashi and Cosmos later would face countless Memorable Monsters such as Golmede, Suppitol, Igomas, Chaos Bug, Mogrudon, Mienin, Gamoran and many more.

Much more tough opponents appeared when the Chaos Organism unleashed the Chaos Headers such as Iblis and Mebut to face him. Unable to face the Chaos Organism with Luna and Corona Modes, Cosmos with some help from Musashi and his friends, was able to awaken his third transformation: Eclipse form that achieved when Cosmos gained Courageous and he used 3 of his forms to face more dangerous monsters.

Final Battle against the Chaos Header
After being separated from Cosmos, Musashi was rendered useless to fight Chaos Header. Even worse, Chaos Header appears and terrorizes as Chaos Darkness. Cosmos appeared and fights the dark monster but Musashi orders Cosmos to stop, feeling that Chaos Header has their inner goodness somewhere in their heart but no avail as the giant paid no attention to Musashi. As Cosmos was on the brink of defeat, Musashi fuses with him again and thus with the help of Lidorias, Bolgils, and Mogrudon, Chaos Header finally purified, turning him into an angel and leaves. Cosmos thanked Musashi for defeating Chaos Header in a harmless way and leaves.

Ultraman Cosmos 2: The Blue Planet
It has been a year since Musashi retired from being a Team EYES member and now he has finally achieved his dream to become an astronaut. Musashi pilots his Planet 1 aka. TECCH Spinnar KS-1 and went on a journey to the planet Juran. However, much to his horror, the planet appeared to be a reddish and dusty wasteland. Not only that, Parastan, the planet's protector had died. Suddenly, a flying monster burst out from the ground and fired a reddish energy ball. As it about to ram Musashi's TECCH Spinnar KS-1, Ultraman Cosmos appeared and saved him. As they dueled, Musashi found out that the monster is responsible for turning Juran into a barren wasteland via it's energy beam. Cosmos destroyed the monster, causing a giant explosion and quickly rescued Musashi from the explosion. Musashi attended his childhood friend's wedding and later witnessed a mermaid. One of his friends, Tutomo, mocked him for believing in a mermaid but Mari objects to it, implied that Musashi might be talking the truth ever since his first encounter with Cosmos. As it starts to rain, Tutomo cowardly hides under the table with Mari mocking him, causing Tutomo to take a nearby soda and spraying it on Mari, starting a soda fight with his friend as they are watched again by the mermaid.

The next day, when Musashi and Mari went snorkeling, they discover a portal underwater and at the same time are ambushed by a stingray kaiju. As Musashi was about to follow Mari, he was knocked down unconscious. Later, two figures approach him. One was a man and the other a woman/mermaid that he had witnessed before. The man decide to eliminate Musashi for interfering with them but the woman objects, but it was already too late as he already fired an energy blast at Musashi. He awakens at the hospital as his friends visits him but Mari was nowhere to be seen. Then, Koji, an original member of SRC and now a captain of Team SEA approaches him as he was glad that he had survived. Musashi was taken to their base and revealed that the monster he encountered earlier was Reija, who was detected undersea a year ago.

They were interrupted by a warning where a monster named Scorpiss was entering the Earth's atmosphere. Musashi recognizes him from earlier for turning Juran into a barren wasteland and killing Parastan. Musashi was joined by Team SEA launches with their TROY AS and TROY BS. As the monster rampaged in the city, it begin to destroy a hospital that Musashi's friend resided in. Once they were about to be killed, Team SEA fires a missile, bringing it away from the hospital. Reija appears and fought the monster but only to be overpowered by the menace. Musashi exits the TROY BS and brings his friend to safety.

There, he witnesses the mermaid, now having human legs fuses with Reija, making the monster stronger but still, overpowered by Scorpiss. Musashi takes his Cosmos Stone and transforms into Ultraman Cosmos Phantom Corona Mode. The phantom-looking Ultra rescues Reija and overpowers Scorpiss while destroying it with Phantom Blazing Waze. However, all he had foreseen was a dream and realise that Cosmos will never return. Scorpiss retreated for a while and the mermaid reveals her name as Shau while telling Musashi that Mari is with her people.

Soon the Team SEA follows Shau and Reija to their hideout where a portal opens, leading to her people's hideout. Once arrived, they were introduced to Alien Gyashi, where their leader, Jin, holds a dislike towards humans for being selfish. Musashi encounters him earlier in a dream where he got destroyed by Jin. Mari appears and leads them to their base where she revealed that Child Baltan from 10 years ago brought her to this place.

Shau reveals that sometime ago, Sandros and his Scorpiss terrorized their planet and turned it into a wasteland. As the Alien Gyashi migrated, Scorpiss chased them and destroyed them. When Jin's crew were about to be eliminated, a being with a light silhouette destroys them and lets the remaining Gyashi flee safely. The being itself had been acknowledged as a God by their species.

A swarm of Scorpiss arose and were on their journey to Earth in seven days. Team SEA discusses this matter with the Earth Defense Forces where they agreed to have the Alien Gyashi assist them in protecting Earth from Scorpiss. Three days before the Scorpiss invasion, SRC developed a force field used to defend the Earth from the monsters. Musashi receives a call from Mari to go to Space Zone. There he found Mari unconscious and Jin begins to attack Musashi for making Shau trust humanity. However, he stops when he realizes that Musashi didn't attack him and instead never giving up on convincing him to trust humanity.

Developing a change of heart, Jin uses his power to complete the force field system, causing a giant shield to cover the Earth and protecting it from a swarm of Scorpiss. Though proven effective, a dark vortex empowered some Scorpiss as they were used to perform a kamikaze attack to destroy the shield and ease the invasion. Soon, Team EYES started to help as Musashi, their former team member also involved in this operation.

After witnessing Shau and Jin's bravery, Musashi finally regains his bravery and calls on Cosmos once again. Cosmos appears in Eclipse Mode where he demolishes the entire Scorpiss before Sandros appeared and overpower him. Another Ultraman much like Cosmos, whose the legendary God/protector of Alien Gyashi came to Earth at the end of the Scorpiss invasion. Attacking the invasion’s forerunner, Sandros, at the moment it attacked Cosmos. The Ultra knocked the monster to the side. As it recovered, he delivered some of his energy to the weakened warrior, allowing them both to take on the vile monster.

As they did so, Sandros began to unleash its black cloud, blocking out the sun. In complete darkness the pair of heroes was attacked mercilessly by its energized blades. The foolish monster, however, eventually made a mistake. Charging up its fire ball exposed itself in the darkness, allowing both Cosmos and Justice to quickly fire off their Cosmium and Victorium Rays, annihilating the fiend and saving the Earth yet again. Cosmos separated from Musashi again as the Ultras leave and Jin revealed to have survived from the Scorpiss attack thanks to Reija and that their experiment finally achieved it's success.

Ultraman Cosmos Vs Ultraman Justice: The Final Battle
Few years after Sandros was defeated. Musashi met Fubuki that he is ready to pilot and travel to planet Juran with some of the monsters on Monster Island to Juran. Suddenly, Gloker Pawn appear and attacks the base and aims to destroy the space capsule that will contain the monsters. Cosmos arrives at that time to stop the duo but ended up being defeated. Musashi used the Cosmo stone and merged with Cosmos and once again reached Eclipse Mode and paralyzes the two. But, Ultraman Justice appeared and revived the two Gloker and stopped Cosmos from making any movement. At the end, Musashi sacrificed his life with his color timer being hit so hard and died making Fubuki swear vengeance on Justice for a while.

Justice then became a shield to Cosmos and tried to destroy Giga Endra but the two were exhausted and ended up being swallowed to by Giga Endra's final attack. But, they still not give up and the two fuse to become Ultraman Legend and destroyed Giga Endra with the Legend Spark from inside and the two split.

"The defense army, no, not just them, even everyone from Team EYES thinks of a militaristic way to win. Disputes between forces, the disputes are always going on and on and on. If there's some other way..."

- Musashi questioning the the JADF army and Team EYES' way of ending the battle with an iron fist.

Musashi is known for his pacifistic personality as he never wants to solve things in an aggressive way.
