Ultraman Taiga

After Ultraman Tregear defeated the New Generation Ultras and the Tri Squad 12 years ago, he came to Earth to find Taiga, taking on the form of Kirisaki to blend in with humanity.

Kirisaki meddles with the rest of the cast and is behind several kaiju attacks, either by compelling them to attack or outright summoning and/or creating them.

Kirisaki provoked Volk and his gang into stealing Alien Zetton Zolin's monster bomb for their own use, and got into a one-sided fight with Homare Souya. Homare was no match for Kirisaki, who swiftly defeated him after messing with him. ^{Requiem of the Wolves}

Kirisaki hires Alien Gapiya Abel to get rid of the Tri-Squad. Upon meeting Abel,

he is surprised that he knows that "Kirisaki" was a disguise, and transforms into Ultraman Tregear, which shocks Abel. When Taiga fought against Abel, Kirisaki was watching as Taiga used the Segmeger Ring, saying it was good that he didn't question the powers he was using. ^{The Flying Saucer is Not Coming}

After fighting Taiga Photon Earth as Ultraman Tregear, he draws a tarot card from a deck he was shuffling earlier, revealing the Fool. ^{Defeat the Demon}

Secretly, Kirisaki had been allowing Taiga to collect and use the Kaiju Rings, which slowly corrupted his soul. As the darkness floods him, Taiga becomes more reckless in battle, as seen during his battles against Gigadelos and Skull Gomora. ^{The Power to Protect and the Power to Fight} When enough darkness had accumulated within Taiga, Tregear took the chance to corrupt him, shutting out Hiroyuki, Titas and Fuma in the process. Taiga becomes an unresponsive puppet which Tregear claims as his own partner, all just to spite Taro. ^{I Can't Hear Your Voice}

KirisakiLaugh — Kirisaki descends further into madness after his loss

Hiroyuki sees Taiga in the darkness after he is knocked out by Kirisaki. Tregear suddenly appears and convinces Taiga to go further down the path of darkness, leading him to expel Hiroyuki from within himself. When Titas and Fuma tried to save him, Kirisaki summoned Hellberus and Night Fang from their Kaiju Rings to stop them, but Hiroyuki manages to get through and save Taiga, granting him his new form Tri-Strium. Enraged at the failure of his plan, Kirisaki transforms into Tregear to fight Taiga, but disappears after being hit by the Tri Storium Burst. Descending into a fit of madness, he develops a hatred towards Hiroyuki and starts targeting him directly. To make him fall deeper into despair, he also goes after his friends at EGIS. ^{We Are One}

Transformation

Kirisaki presses the button at the top of the Tregear Eye to open it up, changing its design from Tregear's chest to his mask. He holds the device near his face and presses the button at the bottom, which causes the Tregear Eye to release a dark aura while his eyes shine a red light. Kirisaki then morphs into Ultraman Tregear and grows to giant size if he chooses to. Alternatively, he can also transform without the use of the Tregear Eye.
