History

Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga

In the past, Himari was a trainee at TPU, earning recognition from instructor Michiru Hotta for her outstanding driving skills. With the recommendation from Michiru, she became a member of GUTS-Select.^{Secret Origins of the Nursedessei – The Struggle of Special Section 3}

Throughout the series, Himari primarily takes on various missions aboard the Nursedessei, handling situations with a calm demeanor. During combat, she frequently remotely controls the GUTS Falcon from the Nursedessei's bridge, showcasing her skilled operational techniques and assisting Ultraman Trigger in battles. Additionally, she has a habit of affectionately referring to the GUTS Falcon as "Falcon-chan".

In a hallucination orchestrated by Kyrieloid, Himari immersed herself in the illusion of winning approximately ten million yen in the lottery. She envisioned using this substantial fortune to acquire a magnificent house and create a game room resembling a movie theater. However, with the lottery redemption deadline looming on that day, Himari became restless, eager to rush to the bank and cash in her winning ticket. As a result, she lost interest in the Captain Tatsumi's promotion party. It wasn't until Yuna shattered Himari's illusion that she suddenly snapped back to reality.^{Smile Operation No.1}

After Carmeara transformed into the Megalothor, Kengo revealed his true identity as Ultraman Trigger to the team, including Himari. Despite initial skepticism, she quickly embraced the truth and, under Captain Tatsumi's command, united with determination to confront the Megalothor.^{The Ruler of Shadows}

In the final battle, the escalating instability of the Eternity Core led to eruptions of energy from the ground, posing a threat to everyone. Despite the increasing danger, members of GUTS-Select fought valiantly against any threats, ensuring the protection of Yuna from the copies of Darrgon and Hudram generated by Megalothor. As enough energy was gathered, the clones were dispelled by a golden light, simultaneously transferring the energy to Trigger Truth, enabling them to defeat Megalothor. However, even after defeating Megalothor, the rampage of the Eternity Core did not subside.

When GUTS-Select reunited with Kengo, he had to bid farewell to everyone as he embarked on the mission to contain the Eternity Core, promising them that he would definitely return. In the series finale, members of GUTS-Select also said their goodbyes to Ignis, who was leaving Earth, and continued to shoulder the mission of protecting the planet.^{To the Ones Who Believe in Smiles / Pull the Trigger}

Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z

Two years later, Himari continued her service with GUTS-Select. With the rampage of the Eternity Core now subdued, upon learning that Kengo inside the Eternity Core was disappearing, GUTS-SELECT temporarily cooperated with Leyrah. They devised a plan to rescue Kengo, which, upon its successful execution, allowed the members of GUTS-Select to reunite with Kengo.

After the resolution of the events involving Celebro and Zabil, she single-handedly captured the fleeing Celebro. In the end, she celebrated Kengo's return party along with all the members.^{Ultraman Trigger: Episode Z}

In the series, Himari's name is only mentioned, but it is believed that she, along with other former members of GUTS-Select, is engaged in space exploration missions on Mars. They work diligently to protect the Martian citizens from the threats posed by Sphere.^{The Light of Hope from the Red Planet}

Trivia

• Himari's surname is derived from Rena Yanase, a main character in Ultraman Tiga.
• According to Director Koichi Sakamoto, the reason for choosing Meiku Harukawa for the role was her outstanding performance in stage plays that he had supervised previously. Whenever he gave her suggestions, she was always able to provide precise responses quickly. This led him to decide to include Harukawa in the series.
