Seven Jiro Setsuma

Seven, having just saved young Jiro

Jiro is a miner who works in a coal mine during his normal life. However, one day while climbing a mountain with a friend, they both slipped and found themselves hanging in mid-air. In order to save his friend, Jiro sacrificed himself and used a knife to cut the rope, falling into a 200-meter-deep valley. His heroic act was witnessed by Ultraseven, who had just arrived on Earth. After Ultraseven saved Jiro, he was moved by his bravery and chose to take on his form and soul as his own human-like form, calling himself Dan Moroboshi.

After being saved by Ultraseven, Jiro lost his memory of the rescue because he had lost consciousness at the time. He miraculously survived the incident and became known among his friends as the "Miracle Man."

Later on, during U-Tom's attack, Jiro was unable to escape the coal mine collapse because he was trying to save his pet mouse, "Chuji." He became trapped in the oxygen-depleted site of the accident. Upon hearing the news, Dan decided to fly the Magma Riser with other members of the UG to rescue him, determined to save his life no matter what. After Ultraseven fought against U-Tom, he managed to save the unconscious Jiro just in time.

Afterward, Jiro was brought back to the surface and carried on a stretcher to the hospital for treatment.Underground Go! Go! Go!
