Hiroto Ban

Hiroto Ban (バン・ヒロト Ban Hiroto) was a member of the Spacecraft Arandas along with his father Tetsuro Ban, Mirai Hibino's exact look-alike. He is the person Ultraman Mebius based his human form's (Mirai) apperance on. He was born on Mars and had never been to earth. One day his father asked him to join him on a mission to earth, an offer which he accepted. He was bringing his mother's ashes home to earth. Along the way, the ship encountered distress. Hiroto sacrificed himself to save the ship and the rest of the crew. When Ultraman Mebius was first coming to the Earth, Mebius tried to rescue him but failed. He entered the Ultra Zone where he was killed before he could reach Earth. After saving his father, Mebius used the form of him as his human guise to honor Hiroto's heroism.
