"You once said, that humans could change. I want to believe that."
"But, unless man shoulders the pain of their errors from the past, they cannot truly change."
- ―Hiroya Fujimiya to Gamu Takayama, "The Silver Eyes of Izac"
Hiroya Fujimiya is the deuteragonist in Ultraman Gaia. He's the human host for the power of Ultraman Agul.
Personality[]
Hiroya was first introduced as an intelligent star student from Alchemy Stars. He started as a cold, arrogant loner who disliked Gamu, his rival, and Gaia's human host. During his earlier time as Agul's host, Fujimiya was a mysterious figure who appeared and disappeared seemingly at will. Senuma even described him as a man who was "somewhat powerful, but at a glance, he looked normal." Monster Encircling Net
Fujimiya desired to save the world, but due to the manipulations of the Radical Destruction Bringer and the corrupted supercomputer Crisis, he came to believe that humankind was a threat to the Earth, ultimately turning him against them. Despite this he could not truly let go of his humanity. This was shown when he saved little girl from destroyed building The Fossil of Ruin and fight against Geel after he saw little boy in the hospital was harmed by it's presence The Determination of Agul (This was also another possibility that deep down actually Fujimiya truly care for humanity's safety especially for the innocent one like children). When the truth was revealed about Crisis's coruption, he ended his crusade against humanity.
Though he hated humanity and shunned regular human contact, when making contact with humans, Fujimiya kept a low profile when having conversations with people especially those he doesn't know yet, or for achieving certain purposes. This was shown when he made contact with Senuma and a person from Shuou University Lab. The Fossil of Ruin After he lost his crusade against humanity, he kept his low profile from people he met. Although he no longer desires to destroy humankind, he still holds some contempt for them and how they have treated their world.
After the final fight between Gaia and Agul, he holds respect for him and decides to fight beside Gaia as Agul.
History[]
Pre-Ultraman Gaia[]
Fujimiya in the past.
Hiroya Fujimiya was born on October 21, 1979. He was one of the child prodigies born in various parts of the world in the 1980s. In 1995, he enrolled at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he shocked the world by publishing his doctoral thesis, "Absolute Theory in the Relative World and the Theory of Light Quantum," the following year. This thesis propelled him to become a professor in the Department of Mathematical Philosophy at the University of Göttingen and earned him numerous engineering patents and a doctorate degree.
After joining Alchemy Stars, Fujimiya and his team began designing a light quantum computer called "Crisis" between 1995 and 1997. This supercomputer could predict disasters that were about to occur on Earth. During the same time, he knew a boy named Gamu Takayama briefly.
Four years ago, Fujimiya completed "Crisis." However, when it was activated, it concluded that "there will soon be a threat that will bring destruction to the Earth and humanity." Fujimiya and his team attempted to identify the cause of this conclusion but could not determine why Earth and humanity faced destruction.
However, one day, Fujimiya tried to eliminate humanity from the data of Earth's existence and began calculations. As a result, the destruction of Earth was avoided. The reason for Earth's destruction was humanity itself. Fujimiya was puzzled about how to prevent the destruction of Earth and humanity and initiated several other research projects, one of which was controlling monsters to keep them away from densely populated areas, and another was searching for the "will of the Earth" to design a solution to global issues.
As Fujimiya pursued these efforts, the word "AGUL" suddenly appeared on the terminal screen. Then the screen emitted a light, and Fujimiya saw the figure of a blue giant standing in a mysterious place.
After experiencing this event, Fujimiya began seeking answers. Following his departure from Alchemy Stars with another researcher, Kyoko Inamori, the two went to a rented research facility called "Pronon Calamos" to conduct research to confirm the "true will of the Earth." Fujimiya believed that the Earth possesses a "natural healing power" that activates when living organisms become sick, and if the Earth were truly destroyed, this power would also come into play. Fujimiya realized that "if humanity's crisis is its destiny, then the only way out for humanity is to follow the will of the Earth. The power of Agul will guide us there." He believed that if rebirth was to occur, it would be better to eliminate any hindrances. He also considered it selfish for humans to seek help only when they are in danger.
Fujimiya gained the power of Ultraman Agul.
Interpreting Agul's power in this way, Fujimiya began seeking power. One day, a bright light appeared in the observation pool of Pronon Calamos. Despite Inamori's attempts to stop him, Fujimiya seemed to vanish from in front of Inamori after being exposed to the light. This light also bestowed upon him the power of Ultraman Agul.The Birth of Agul
Ultraman Gaia[]
Fujimiya's first appearance.
After receiving Agul's power, Fujimiya disappeared from Inamori's sight and lived on his seclusively while at the same time shunning regular human contact. After several months or years of disappearance, Fujimiya started surfacing toward society.
When he first appeared, he approached Reiko Yoshii, a popular reporter at KCB, and mentioned to her that "Ultraman" was a good name. He said that he had something to convey to the people at the television station: the image of Ultraman must be delivered to the world without any reservations. This left Reiko perplexed. Afterward, she frequently spotted Fujimiya at various incident scenes. He made another appearance, this time in front of Reiko but briefly in the middle of a city that had been turned to desert due to Mezard's appearance. At the same time, he also appeared as Ultraman Agul in the sight of Ultraman Gaia and XIG. His Name Is Gaia
Fujimiya transforms into Ultraman Agul in front of Gamu.
Later, during the incident with Bokrag, he appeared before Gamu Takayama, who was attempting to transform into Gaia. He immediately transformed into Agul and fought against Bokrag. Although Gaia soon joined the battle, Agul ultimately defeated Bokrag with overwhelming power. At dusk, Fujimiya appeared before Gamu and clarified his stance. Even though Gamu responded by asking why Fujimiya had become an Ultraman, Fujimiya replied, "Friendly organizations like the Alchemy Stars cannot stop the Radical Destruction Bringer. It is precisely because I understand this that I left them. For Earth, humans are like cancer cells; they only continue to multiply and pollute the planet."
Fujimiya believed that "Ultraman exists to protect the Earth but has no obligation to save humans who have no meaningful existence." He urged Gamu to abandon XIG, saying that helping him was the right thing to do. However, Gamu firmly rejected him, solidifying the opposing positions of the two.Another Giant
Afterward, Fujimiya appeared before Reiko several times. When KCB was investigating the strange occurrences in the Jōiwa Hot Springs area of Yamanashi Prefecture, the residents began attacking KCB members. While fleeing, Reiko was nearly assaulted by a brainwashed police officer, but Fujimiya arrived just in time to save her life. Reiko pleaded with Fujimiya to save the residents, but he coldly responded that all humans were worthless and would ultimately disappear. This angered Reiko, and she declared that she didn’t need Fujimiya’s help to save the villagers.
Reiko is protected by Ultraman Agul.
When Reiko was later attacked by the brainwashed Rimbun, she grabbed a gun and attempted to attack Psycho Mezard. Just as Psycho Mezard was about to strike her, Fujimiya transformed into Ultraman Agul and joined the battle. In the end, Psycho Mezard was defeated by Agul's Photon Crusher, and all the brainwashed residents were rescued. The Night of the Marionettes
Some time later, Fujimiya participated in the battle against Antimatter. At that time, Gamu witnessed Anti-Matter advancing and quickly rushed to the scene. Fujimiya speculated that the purpose of the antimatter entity was to convert the entire Earth into antimatter, then break down the barrier and make contact with the universe, potentially triggering a second Big Bang with a 50% chance of creating an antimatter universe.
Although Fujimiya’s differing values had placed him at odds with Gamu, he could not ignore the Earth's crisis. Fujimiya proposed a plan to fire an antimatter conversion beam from Agul to turn Gaia into an antimatter Ultraman so that he could fight within the barrier. Provocatively, he added, "If I suddenly change my mind and don’t restore you to your original state, you’ll be stuck in the antimatter world." Despite this, Gamu chose to trust Fujimiya and transformed into Gaia. According to the plan, Agul fired the beam, turning Gaia into an antimatter Ultraman, who then penetrated the barrier.
Gaia struggled to fight within the antimatter-constructed enemy domain. During the battle, Gaia used his Quantum Stream to destroy part of the antimatter entity. Before the explosion could occur, Team Falcon and Agul's attacks caused the scattered parts to disappear. Realizing the situation was unfavorable, the antimatter entity attempted to contract the barrier and self-destruct, intending to destroy the material world. However, Gaia and Agul threw the antimatter entity's body into a wormhole in Jupiter's orbit, sending it back to the antimatter world. Upon returning to Earth, Gamu extended his hand to Fujimiya and said, "If we work together, we can surely protect humanity." Unsurprisingly, Fujimiya refused. As Fujimiya walked away, Gamu silently thought, "I believe in you. Because we are both children of the Earth."The Challenge from the Anti-Space
Fujimiya tries to wake up Zonnel.
Afterward, Fujimiya continued his plan to protect the Earth itself, disregarding human lives. This included awakening Zonnel at Mount Meibao. At the time, XIG was troubled about how to handle Zonnel, which had a biological nuclear fusion furnace. An unidentified celestial body, codenamed "Diglobe," had altered its orbit and was heading towards Earth. According to the current trajectory, Diglobe was set to collide with Earth, creating a massive crater with a 100-kilometer radius centered on Tokyo and causing significant global devastation.
Gamu proposed a plan: to direct Zonnel’s energy at Diglobe to prevent the collision. He believed that Fujimiya’s awakening of Zonnel was intended for this purpose, and proceeded with simulations. The results showed that while Diglobe could be defeated, the reflected heat would incinerate a 20-kilometer radius area. Gamu decided to abort the plan and transformed into Ultraman Gaia, attempting to stop Zonnel. However, he was unable to defeat Zonnel and could only defend against it. Zonnel also no longer obeyed Fujimiya’s commands, prompting Fujimiya to transform into Ultraman Agul. He pushed Gaia aside, forcibly opened Zonnel’s shell, and directed its energy towards Diglobe. Gaia then deployed a shield to protect the city from the heat generated by Diglobe’s explosion. As the light dissipated, Gaia successfully protected the city and defeated Diglobe.Shadow of Space, Light of Earth
However, Gaia was severely damaged in the explosion. Confronted with the injured Gaia, Fujimiya asked in confusion, “Why would you sacrifice your own life to protect humanity?” He then vanished from sight. Gamu did his best to return Zonnel to its original location at Mount Meibao. However, he began to doubt his belief in protecting the Earth and humanity.
Fujimiya hinted to Reiko that he was Agul's true identity.
On the other hand, when Reiko reported on the incident, she stated, "I believe that someday, Gaia and The blue giant will work together." When Fujimiya saw this on street TV, he was enraged and contacted Reiko. He hinted that he was Agul and said, "Agul knows what he should do." He then left, revealing his true identity to Reiko.
Soon after, the command room of XIG's airborne mothership base Aerial Base, was suddenly occupied by Fujimiya. Fujimiya attempted to destroy the base, which symbolized humanity's hope. As he transformed into Agul and prepared to launch Agul’s cutting beam at the computer, Gamu arrived on the scene, transforming into Gaia to stop him. Eventually, a battle between the two Ultramen became inevitable. The two Ultras fought within the ship, with Agul using his powers to create a fissure leading to the outside. He jumped through the fissure, with Gaia following closely behind.
Subsequently, the giant Agul attacked Gaia in mid-air, causing Gaia to fall to the ground. Gamu, convinced that Fujimiya’s plan was wrong, transformed back into Gaia and managed to land safely. Seeing that Gaia could not enlarge, Agul also returned to human size and began a second round of fighting in an abandoned factory. The two were evenly matched, and neither could gain an advantage even during their beam clashes. In the end, their fight ended in a draw, and both Ultras reverted to their normal forms. Fujimiya told Gamu, "You’ve grown stronger, but I will still defeat you. Anyone who hinders me must be eliminated." After saying this, he departed. With that, the rift between them was thoroughly cemented.Agul vs. Gaia
Some time later, after learning that a mysterious creature had been found parasitizing a suspected dinosaur egg fossil discovered in Fukui Prefecture, Fujimiya, intrigued by this creature, disguised himself as Professor Yuichisuke Sugai and infiltrated the university to collect DNA samples. At this time, XIG requested a halt to the research on the fossil due to its potential danger. Gamu suspected Fujimiya might be connected to the fossil, so he went to the university to investigate. Although he did not find Fujimiya, he obtained a password from researcher Mihara and successfully rescued the professor Sugai, who had been locked in the trunk of a car.
Fujimiya obtained Geschenk's DNA sample.
Gamu deciphered the password and found Fujimiya’s base, where he questioned Fujimiya about his plans for the parasitic creature. Fujimiya analyzed that this creature was "Geschenk," an absolute life form that changes its shape according to environmental changes. Fujimiya planned to use Gaisenku to eliminate humanity and thus imprisoned Gamu, taking away his transformation device, "Esplender." After Geschenk hatched and turned into a monster, it began rampaging through the city. XIG’s Team Lightning deployed fighter planes but found themselves in a difficult situation. After receiving support, the Lightning Squad managed to escape. Although Fujimiya prevented Gamu from transforming, Espeland successfully helped Gamu transform into Gaia.
Fujimiya saves Yuki.
Gaia challenged Geschenk but found himself in trouble facing the light bullets fired by Gaisenku. Fujimiya, witnessing this scene, said to Gamu, "Humanity should be eradicated." However, when he saw a girl about to fall onto the ruins of a building destroyed by the light bullets, Fujimiya instinctively went to save her. Although the girl was unharmed, Fujimiya was puzzled by his instinctive actions.The Fossil of Ruin
Fujimiya had previously used a mechanical language decoder to control Zonnel, which was later recovered by Gamu. This decoder was then given to Kyoko Inamori, who had conducted research with Fujimiya. Inamori upgraded the device and developed a new apparatus capable of calming the fighting instincts of monsters—named "Passel." Dr. Inamori said to Gamu, "Why do underground monsters keep appearing? Could it be that the creatures on Earth are angry at humanity's selfish behavior? If everyone's consciousness does not change, this anger will not subside."
Death of Inamori[]
At this time, the monster "Gomenos" appeared in the Chichibu Mountains. XIG immediately deployed fighter planes and fired the Passel at Gominos. When the Passel was activated, Gomenos fell into a deep sleep. However, Dr. Inamori began to control Gomenos just as Fujimiya had done with Zonnel. Upon waking, Gomenos dug into the ground and disappeared, while Dr. Inamori severed her connection with GUARD. Meanwhile, GUARD, while investigating the data on the blue giant that had previously attacked them, found a lead on Fujimiya. Due to Gamu’s suspicious behavior of secretly meeting with Fujimiya, they began questioning Gamu about what he knew. However, Gamu was unable to reveal the truth and could only speak vaguely. As a result, Commander Akio Ishimuro temporarily revoked XIG’s license and ordered them to leave the Aerial Base.
After leaving the Aerial Base, Gamu continued his investigation. While investigating with Katsumi Kajio, Gamu recalled Dr. Inamori's words about "the creatures of Earth being angry." He suspected that Inamori and Fujimiya shared similar ideals. At this time, Dr. Inamori was directing Gomenos towards a small town. Gamu tried to stop him, but Inamori insisted that humanity must face harsh realities to change their consciousness and revealed that he knew Fujimiya's true identity as Ultraman Agul.
Fujimiya grieves over Inamori's death.
Inamori's goal was to awaken humanity's numbness towards environmental destruction by having monsters attack people, while also personally changing human consciousness to prevent Fujimiya from taking the blame, and ultimately altering Fujimiya’s belief that humanity was unnecessary for Earth. At this moment, the XIG’s Team Crow fighter planes arrived on the scene and began attacking Gomenos. Inamori tried to make Gomenos continue its advance, but control gradually slipped away, and a fireball from Gomenos struck Inamori. When Fujimiya arrived to try to care for her, Inamori ultimately lost her life. After witnessing Inamori's death and Fujimiya's anguished cries, Gaia used his finishing move, Photon Edge, to defeat Gomenos.Gamu Expelled!
The Showdown for Tomorrow[]
Enraged, Fujimiya subsequently attacked Geo Base and stole data on the locations of dormant monsters around the Earth. Transforming into Ultraman Agul, he appeared worldwide. When Gamu and his team realized Fujimiya's intention to resurrect global monsters, they encountered Reiko, who, having learned about Fujimiya’s past, was also searching for him on her own. When Agul later appeared in Japan, Gamu, Kajio, and Reiko rushed to the scene, but Agul vanished after injecting energy into the ground.
The next day, Gamu and his team encountered an exhausted Fujimiya in the forest. Meanwhile, in Arizona, USA, the resurrected Zonnel II appeared and engaged in combat with GUARD.'s tank units. After taking Fujimiya to the hospital and entrusting him to Reiko, Gamu transformed into Ultraman Gaia and went to the United States. Upon waking, Fujimiya said, "It is humanity's foolishness that is leading Earth to destruction," and attempted to escape from the hospital to confront Gaia. However, Reiko, who had been saved by Fujimiya in the past, asked him, "If that is the case, then why do you help these foolish humans?" She tried to persuade Fujimiya, hoping to change his inability to be completely ruthless.
At this moment, the monster "Geel II," revived by Agul the previous night, awoke and appeared near the hospital where Fujimiya was located. Patients hurriedly fled the hospital. Fujimiya showed indifference to the fleeing patients, but when he heard a boy’s cry for help, hoping that Ultraman would come to assist, Fujimiya stopped. The boy, holding a drawing of Gaia and Agul shaking hands, pleaded for help from his favorite Ultraman. Seeing the boy’s earnest plea, Fujimiya was moved, transformed into Agul, and, alongside the Team Lightning, launched an attack using the Photon Crusher to defeat Geel II. Fujimiya again failed to be completely ruthless, though his mindset remained unchanged.The Determination of Agul
Fujimiya and Reiko escape Lizard's pursuit together.
Afterwards, Fujimiya and Reiko went on the run together. Although Fujimiya claimed that "Earth does not need humanity," he could not bring himself to be completely ruthless and ended up protecting humans. This led him to a state of extreme mental exhaustion, leaving him feeling like an empty shell. Reports in the media claimed that Fujimiya had kidnapped Reiko and fled, but in reality, it was Reiko who was concerned for Fujimiya and had taken him away. However, the leader of the special investigation team "Lizard," Ryuichi Senuma, was tracking them. At the same time, a distortion in the outer atmospheric phase appeared, causing the light from stars to refract. Gamu sensed that something was about to happen on Earth and believed he needed to stop Fujimiya.
Fujimiya/Agul takes Reiko flying over the sea.
Gamu hacked into the "Lizard" team's computers and tracked Senuma's movements to find Fujimiya's hiding place. Gamu warned Fujimiya about the impending phase distortion, but Fujimiya was already aware and responded that it was too late. Gamu tried to take action against Fujimiya but was stopped by Reiko. Fujimiya left the scene in a car driven by Reiko. Reiko felt that Fujimiya, having gained the power of Ultraman Agul, was burdened with responsibility and was suffering. Meanwhile, Fujimiya slightly opened up to Reiko and began to recount his childhood desire to explore the ocean. He said, "Humanity only understands the surface of the ocean; no one tries to understand the true greatness of the ocean. The ocean is our birthplace." He said this to Reiko.
However, Senuma's car accelerated in pursuit. After a car chase, Reiko, due to a driving error, crashed through a guardrail, and the car fell off a cliff. At this moment, Fujimiya transformed into Agul. He rescued Reiko, holding her in his palm, and flew over the ocean. Reiko was deeply moved by the motherly beauty of the ocean. Seeing this scene, Gamu transformed into Ultraman Gaia and chased after Agul, demanding that he land on the ground. Agul agreed, safely placing Reiko in a secure location, and confronted Gaia.
Gaia and Agul have a fierce duel.
Faced with the impending crisis on Earth, Gamu, enraged by Fujimiya's refusal to change his mind, took the initiative to challenge Agul for the first time. On the other hand, Fujimiya also declared that he wanted to "determine who is the true Ultraman," leading to a direct confrontation between the two giants. Gaia and Agul engaged in a fierce combat battle. Meanwhile, XIG, noticing the fight between Gaia and Agul, decided to intervene. They launched the Peace Carry from the Aerial Base to the battlefield. When XIG arrived, almost simultaneously, Gaia launched a Photon Edge attack, and Agul activated the Photon Crusher. The energy released by both sides collided.The Showdown for Tomorrow
Earlier, the Alchemy Stars had observed a strange phenomenon of spatial phase distortion without the activation of a wormhole and communicated this situation to XIG. Commander Ishimuro, seeing the energy collision between Gaia and Agul, sensed some anomalies. The clash between Gaia and Agul caused mutual severe damage, and the injured Fujimiya was sent to the medical center at the Geo Base.
Due to the energy from the collision between Gaia and Agul, there were attempts to open a massive wormhole. Additionally, back at the aerial base, Commander Ishishima received notification that the light quantum computer "Crisis" had gone rogue. This made Gamu realize that Crisis was resonating with the wormhole. He soon discovered the truth: Zoruim had emerged from the wormhole. At this moment, Fujimiya escaped from the medical center and challenged Gamu once again. To persuade Fujimiya, Gamu began to reveal the truth.
Fujimiya gives Agul's power to Gamu.
The Crisis system designed by Fujimiya had been corrupted by the Radical Destruction Bringer, which had disrupted its deep systems. The crisis computation results that Fujimiya had seen, which stated that "to protect Earth, humanity must be eliminated," were actually fabricated by the Radical Destruction Bringer. Furthermore, by having Gaia and Agul fight, a massive wormhole had been created using their energy. From this wormhole, Zoruim emerged, attempting to guide Earth toward destruction.
Realizing that everything he believed in was a lie and that he had been manipulated by the Radical Destruction Bringer, Fujimiya lost his will to fight. He entrusted Agul's light to Gamu and ultimately disappeared in the explosion caused by the attack.The Final Resolution
Fujimiya's Return[]
During his disappearance, Fujimiya traveled around the world trying to communicate again with Earth, also wishing to regain Agul's power. He traveled to numerous islands until he ended up in Soroya Island, Norway. On this island, he entered a cave where he found a cave drawing about human fights and disasters (possibly drawing about the human race in the past or ancient times). Moreover, he also saw a drawing that pictured the clashing of red & blue photon beams and the emergence of Zoruim. Irritated by the drawing due to it reminding him of his fight with Gaia, Fujimiya scratched the drawing with his knife.
Fujimiya invaded GUARD's Anti Airspace Laser System in order to atone for his sins.
After his pilgrimage to Inamori's grave, Fujimiya, who still resents his past life and mistakes, tried to do things that he could do as an ordinary human. He hijacked the Anti Airspace Laser System, GUARD's new weapon that could increase battle power, by implementing two viruses (one dummy that could be easily discovered and one implanted deep within the system that he would activate later when he needed it). This action alerts GUARD and grabs the attention of KCB and XIG. Gamu and Reiko, who discovered that Fujimiya was still alive, decided to approach him to talk again. This time, they could not persuade him as Fujimiya still tries to fight to make amends for his past of hurting people by fighting against the Radical Destruction Bringer with his power (and also committing suicide). To do this, he activated the virus that he already planted deep within the system to hijack the Anti Airspace Laser System. He aimed Aerial Base to provoke Gamu to transform into Ultraman Gaia to recreate Gaia and Agul's incredible energy clash which would be given off again to the wormhole.
Gaia fired his Photon Crusher to clash it with the laser, resulting in the re-emerge of the wormhole that is similar to Zoruim. Fujimiya headed to the wormhole, only to find himself saved by Gamu. Unknown to them, the wormhole also released X-Savarga. Gaia, who was outnumbered by number of monster's clones, found his energy depleted. Fujimiya, frustrated as he no longer had the power of Agul, threw away the Agulater and fired a bomb at the monster. After Gaia defeated the monster, Fujimiya lamented Gamu for saving him and preventing his plan. Gamu tried to remind him that it was not the amends everyone wanted as he still had someone care about him. The Sky of Reunion
The Radical Destruction Bringer attempted to deceive Fujimiya by using an illusion of Inamori.
He appeared again when Queen Mezard attacked Earth. This time, the monster took the form of Kyoko Inamori to persuade Fujimiya to fight in his old way (fighting monster regardless of human race safety) and promised him the power of Agul. This angered Fujimiya as the Radical Destruction Bringer once before tried to persuade Fujimiya too by using Inamori's image.
Though disguised Inamori continued to persuade him, Fujimiya, struggling with his sense that Inamori was already dead and pushed to kill Reiko, finally shot the monster disguised as Inamori. Queen Mezard was forced to retreat to her hyperspace, where she and Gamu fight. Fujimiya ran away along with Reiko to keep them safe from the brainwashed people in the KCB. After the terror of Mezard ended, Fujimiya still found himself guilty about the fact that his past way of fighting caused Inamori's death. Even reuniting with the girl that he saved couldn't wipe it out. The Fourth Symphony of a Nightmare
Upon discovering that a commander of the GUARD Pan Pacific Division named Hiiragi planned a deployment of Subterranean Penetrating Missiles to the hibernating Tigris, Fujimiya tried to sneak into the control room where Hiiragi was stationed, only found himself defeated by one punch from Hiiragi. Even though he was in pain, Fujimiya angrily questioned Hiiragi's action and reminded him of the anguished cries of Tigris. After Tigris eventually succumbed to his injuries and died, Fujimiya told Gaia to take the monster back underground so that he may rest in peace. Ground-Breaking Tusks
Regain the power of Agul[]
Gamu attempted to stop Fujimiya from committing suicide.
One day, a void portal appeared in the sky, and from it emerged the monster Σ-Zuigul. Gamu transformed into Gaia to confront it, but felt discomfort when trying to block Σ-Zuigul's beams with his arms. The battle ultimately ended with Σ-Zuigul vanishing as if crushed into dust. However, near the battlefield on the coastline, Gaia found Fujimiya standing alone, seemingly lost in thought as he walked into the sea, intending to commit suicide. Gamu reverted to his human form and rushed to the scene to try to stop Fujimiya. Fujimiya was mentally and emotionally drained, deeply regretting his past actions. Gamu engaged in conversation with him, urging him to rediscover his "pride in restoring the fight."
At that moment, Σ-Zuigul reappeared. Gamu urged Fujimiya to escape quickly, attempting to transform into Gaia. However, a mysterious silver mechanism was stuck to the back of his hand, where he had been attacked earlier. Additionally, the transformation device, the Esplender, was covered by the mechanism, preventing Gamu from transforming and trapping him within a capsule with a cross-shaped pattern around his body.
When Fujimiya regained his determination to protect others, the sea responded to his conviction.
This capsule fused with the core of Σ-Zuigul, and XIG discovered Gamu trapped inside, making it difficult to attack. Fujimiya then suffered an attack from Σ-Zuigul and lost consciousness on the spot. Unconscious, Fujimiya saw images of those who supported him and those he had protected floating in his mind, hearing the voices of Gamu, Reiko, and Inamori calling his name. He woke up again after hearing Gamu's words to "regain pride in the fight."
"I have something to protect. Once more, give me the power. Agul! I want to fight once more."
- ―Fujimiya shouting at the sea, "The Resurrection of Agul"
Fujimiya regained the power of Ultraman Agul.
As Fujimiya stood up, a massive tsunami occurred, and from it emerged the light of the ocean. Fujimiya grabbed that light, successfully transforming into Ultraman Agul V2. Agul then began the battle, ultimately saving Gamu and defeating Σ-Zuigul with his finishing move, the Photon Screw. The Resurrection of Agul
Subsequently, during Fujimiya's solo bicycle trip, a lightning strike destroyed the Natural Science Research Institute. At the same time, a wormhole appeared in the sky, bringing forth a monster—the extinct Altes Tiger. Fujimiya transformed into Agul to try to quell the monster's rage, but ultimately collapsed due to exhaustion, and the monster disappeared.
Investigations revealed that Izac was actually created by the Radical Destruction Bringer, triggered by a lightning strike, to steal Izac's cloned cells. This led to Izac being transformed into a monster and sent back to Earth. When Gamu went to the hospital to find Fujimiya, Fujimiya told him that by enduring Izac's attacks, he could understand Izac's hatred toward humanity. However, Izac's actions were solely driven by the instinct for survival and had not changed from the Altus Tiger hunted in the past. This survival instinct also put many people in danger.
After Gaia defeated the Izac, Gamu struggled as he felt the pain of the Izac. Fujimiya advised Gamu that if the battle caused him pain, he should relinquish the light. It was not Gamu who killed Izac, but rather the past that led to the extinction of the Altus Tiger. Fujimiya believed that humanity cannot truly change unless it confronts its own mistakes. The Silver Eyes of Izac
Earth is Ultraman's Star[]
One day, Fujimiya was dining at a Chinese restaurant. As he was about to leave, the news program on the television suddenly began speaking directly to him. Additionally, the situation with the other customers and staff in the restaurant seemed unusual. The host of the news program transformed into "Deathbringer," hinted that Reiko would be his target, and then vanished from the screen.
Fujimiya went to Reiko's home, but upon entering her room, he experienced a mysterious phenomenon where the surroundings transformed into outer space. He found Reiko unconscious on the floor. Soon after, Deathbringer appeared, introducing himself as the "Messenger of the Master." This Deathbringer was actually an envoy of the Radical Destruction Bringer. When Fujimiya inquired why the Radical Destruction Bringer would target Earth, Deathbringer responded, "We do not want to be extinct." He explained that humanity is a malignant virus in the universe and that the universe would be doomed because of humanity.
Fujimiya saves Reiko who is kidnapped by Deathbringer.
Deathbringer then compared "Earth" to a woman and attempted to recruit Fujimiya as a partner in the destruction of humanity. Although Fujimiya was momentarily swayed, Reiko's awakening and revelation that Deathbringer's true aim was not to save Earth but to eliminate humanity helped him overcome his hesitation. Determined, he resolved to save Reiko. XIG Destroyed!?
After escaping from the dimension created by Deathbringer with Reiko, Fujimiya saw Deathbringer transform into Zebubu and destroy the city. Fujimiya then transformed into Agul but was defeated by Zebubu. At the same time, Gamu, observing the battle from the Geo Base, witnessed Agul being attacked and could not help but shout, "Fujimiya!" This revelation exposed Fujimiya's and Gamu's true identities as Gaia to the other XIG members.The Revenge of the Death God
Even though Zebubu was ultimately defeated by the combined efforts of two Ultraman, a large number of Dobishi covered the world, pushing the GUARD organizations in various countries to the brink of destruction. At the Geo Base, Fujimiya questioned Commander Ishimuro for only deploying Captain Kaji and Captain Inagi, rather than an Ultraman. He asked, "Why are we not used as weapons or powers? Is it because relying on us would cast doubt on XIG's capabilities?" Ishimuro replied, "You are not weapons; you are comrades who fight together."
"After I got the power back, I was thinking about why there are two Ultramen. Now I realize, that if one is down, there's still another one."
- ―Fujimiya to Gamu before the final battle, "An Angel Descends"
Gamu and Fujimiya face the decisive battle together against Kaiser Dobishi.
Seeing XIG's struggles, Fujimiya devised a plan: after Gaia cleared the Dobishis, he would dive into the wormhole himself. He and Gamu attempted to secretly engage in a decisive battle against the Kaiser Dobishi but were gradually driven into a corner. Suddenly, a blinding light descended from the sky, defeating the Kaiser Dobishi. An angel emerged from the dazzling light.An Angel Descends
The angel rescued Gaia and Agul from their predicament. Agul reached out toward it, as if drawn to it. However, the angel suddenly attacked Agul, causing him immense shock and severe damage. In reality, this angel was Zog, an envoy sent by the Radical Destruction Bringer. Despite Gaia and Agul's attempts to fight back, they were overwhelmed by the enemy's abilities and completely exhausted their energy. Additionally, the KCB news team, including Kenji Tabata and Michifumi Inoue, captured and broadcast the moment Gaia and Agul de-transformed. This led to the exposure of the two Ultraman's human hosts, which spread across the globe. After Gamu was rescued by his friends, Fujimiya went missing.The Cry of the Earth
As monsters appeared simultaneously around the world and attempted to combat the Dobishi, Catherine Ryan observed this and wondered if the energy from the monsters could be used to revive Gaia and Agul. Using the repulsion lift device as a repulsion field, the energy from the monsters was gathered in one location. XIG pilots flew around the globe, adjusting angles and transmitting the energy received from the monsters under the guidance of Alchemy Star. This operation was named the "Gaia" mission.
The reunion and separation of Fujimiya and Inamori's souls.
After being defeated by Zog and losing Agul's light, Fujimiya gazed at the tank in the Crisis Facility, where he had once encountered Agul's light. A mysterious glow then appeared in the tank, and the supposedly deceased Dr. Inamori appeared before Fujimiya, explaining that the light was Cherenkov radiation. No matter how much the sky was covered with locusts, neutrinos from space would still drift toward Earth. Earth was not alone.
Subsequently, Fujimiya, Gamu, and others proceeded to the location where the monster energy was gathered. The "Gaia" mission commenced. Fujimiya and Gamu, bathed in the light of monsters from around the world, transformed into Gaia and Agul and defeated the Dobishis covering the sky. Zog appeared once again, and in a fierce battle, Gaia and Agul teamed up to attack Zog and defeated him with a combined finishing move.
After Zog's crisis passed, Fujimiya started traveling alone.
Although Zog was defeated, the threat of the Radical Destruction Bringer still loomed. Fujimiya, gazing at the sunset on the beach, began a new journey.Earth is Ultraman's Star
Ultraman Gaia: Gaia Again[]
Fujimiya in Ultraman Gaia: Gaia Again.
After the battle against Zog was over, both Gamu and Fujimiya began to live regular lives. Now, the entire world knows that Gamu and Fujimiya are Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman Agul, respectively. Gamu resumed his studies at college again, while Fujimiya wandered around Earth looking for ways to protect Earth's monsters.
Suddenly, Zonnel II awakens from its slumber. Fujimiya, who quickly noticed it, tried to communicate with it using his cybernetic monster control system. But, before he knew what its intention or cause of its awakening, the tank platoon advanced and attacked the monster. One of the tanks gets a lucky shot and causes the monster to detonate, resulting in a nuclear blast. Fujimiya somehow survived but had sustained serious injuries. Because of this event, Fujimiya is framed by a television report as being the cause of a nuclear disaster when, in truth, he was using his cybernetic monster control system to lure a monster away from an advancing tank platoon.
Running away from GUARD and hiding from the world, Fujimiya retreated to a hotel to heal his wound. During his recovery, he was given a vision of underwater getting attacked by creatures and the emergence of an unknown race from deep sea level. While in agony, he loses the Agulater into the waters again. He met a mysterious girl who healed his wound while he was unconscious. The girl seemingly is afraid of an impending disaster, learning that she had seen Fujimiya's visions of darkened skies cloaked with swarms of buzzing, flying creatures similar yet different from those that appeared in the last battle. Fujimiya tried to assure her that everything would be okay.
Fujimiya regained the power to transform into Ultraman Agul.
Fujimiya then got approached by GUARD, who had been looking for him as he was a fugitive suspect for interfering in the attack on Zonnel. As he was about to get caught, the skies were covered by a black cloud, alerting the emergence of swarms of flying creatures similar to Fujimiya and the girl's vision, proving that their visions eventually come true, casting the Earth into danger once more. Cornered by government agents by the sea, Fujimiya witnesses his Agulater rise from the depths of the ocean, and his newfound friend transforms into a nimbus of glittering light that restores Agul's power, revealing that the girl belongs to a pacifist race of undersea creatures made of light unknown to humans yet have coexisted in secrecy for millions of years, Rinar.
Receiving Agul's power again and facing another threat, the GUARD's agents leave the Agulater with Fujimiya, and as fighter jets engage the onslaught of monsters, Fujimiya then transforms and becomes the first Ultraman to be resurrected to save the Earth from the new danger. As his battle with Gakuzom goes on, he struggles to handle the attack from Baiakuhe. Not long after that, he reunited with Gamu, who resurrected again as Gaia and destroyed the monster together.
With the battle over, Gamu and Fujimiya reunited again after a long time of not seeing each other. Gamu expresses his gratitude that Earth is full of mystery that is still unknown to him, especially the new creature that gives them the light. Fujimiya informed him that he might have talked to one of Rinar before the battle. Soon, they parted from each other again. Ultraman Gaia: Gaia Again

Fujimiya in Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers
In this film, Fujimiya appears as Gamu's friend and a scientist, having previously researched anti-gravity theory with Gamu. He is also married to Reiko and has children.
After Gamu left academia, Fujimiya continued his research successfully and eventually became an authority in the field of physics. During a television interview, he expressed, "My research achievements were completed with the help of my friend (Gamu)," indicating that he had not forgotten his friendship with Gamu.
Following the resolution of the monster incident in Yokohama, he and Gamu, who had returned to the scientific community, together completed a spacecraft equipped with an anti-gravity system, earning them the Nobel Prize. Years later, he and Reiko attended the launch ceremony of the Japanese Maru spacecraft, bidding farewell to Gamu and Atsuko, who were about to embark on a journey to explore Nebula M78.

Transformation[]
Agulater: Fujimiya built this device to use the Agul force. To transform, he would stretch his right arm downwards and the Agulater opens. He then brings his arm up and the Agulater flips and transforms him into Agul via a bright stream of azure light.
Powers and Weapons[]
- Intelligence: Hiroya is one of the first members of the Alchemy Stars, a group of young geniuses who created all the technology used by XIG. Fujimiya himself also created systems, to control monsters in order to lure them away from cities, and the computer Crisis before it was infected by Zogu's villainy.
- Agulater: Using a device of his own creation Fujimiya can summon the Agul force to transform into Ultraman Agul.
- Agul Force: Fujimiya used the power from his Agulater to give it to Gamu by transferring it to the Esplender. Only shown in episode 26.
- Ultra Powers: Unlike Gamu, who never demonstrated the ability, Fujimiya could manifest the powers of Agul in human form. Usually, this meant powering something with a beam from the Agulater or superhuman abilities such as speed and strength, such as when he took out the guards of Geo Base. However, at a certain point, if Fujimiya overused it, he would find it hard to activate Agulater to transform. This was shown when the Agulater struggled to activate when Fujimiya transformed to fight against Zonnel due to him using it to awaken Zonnel.
