Hayato Kaimoto is a character in Ultraman Nexus. He is a member of TLT North America Division.
Personality[]
Kaimoto is an extremely reserved and taciturn person, who generally prefers not to speak much in public, which can give off the impression of him being cold and unfeeling.
However, he is quite concerned about the existence of the "Prometheus Child" who has inherited his genetic superpowers. He regards them as his own children, and pays close attention to their lives and development, always quietly supporting them whenever necessary.
In addition, Kaimoto displays a very cautious and circumspect attitude towards his superior, Sara Mizuhara. He makes an effort to present himself in a positive light when in her presence, in order to maintain a professional image and uphold his own ethical standards.
In addition, as a superpower, Kaimoto also has the ability of telepathy, which allows him to communicate with the Visitors and the Prometheus Child who inherits his blood.
History[]
Pre-Ultraman Nexus[]
Young Kaimoto and the Visitors behind him
In 1991, as a young child, Kaimoto was summoned as the world's first Class A superpowered individual to a research institution in Colorado, USA, to converse with Visitors. During the conversation, he mentioned the existence of the Dark Zagi.
Subsequently, with Kaimoto as the intermediary, humanity succeeded in establishing communication with the visitors. Higashimura conveyed the visitors' prophecy. Afterwards, TLT extracted the genes of Higashimura and other superpowered individuals in order to initiate the "Prometheus Project" for better communication with the visitors.
However, when he learned about one of the subjects in the "Prometheus Project," Ren Senjyu, who had a genetic defect that would cause him to die at the age of 18, despite his superior, Sawa Mizuhara prioritizing research on the Space Beasts, he still refused to give up hope and secretly collaborated with other Prometheus Child to develop the medicine "Raphael."
