History[]

Ultraman Gaia[]

Koichi is the second pilot of Team Falcon. He was a senior to Kajio when they were based in the Hokkaido branch of the Defense Force. When he was younger, he was similar to Kajio.

During a training exercise, he too, almost crash-landed due to a blackout. The crisis was averted when Yoneda came in and saved his life. He has been a follower of Yoneda ever since and volunteers to join XIG.

However, he and his team members once saw the future of themselves and the monsters perishing together in the timeline of the cumulus cloud energy body, so during the series, they have always carried out every combat mission with the awareness of the intention to sacrifice.

When he, his team, and Gamu came to a different space after chasing Aeroviper, he told Gamu why he insisted on sacrificing. With the help of Gamu, they finally boarded a fighter plane and defeated Aeroviper with Gaia, successfully changing the future and returning to the original world. ^{The Future Seen Before}

In the final battle, he performs Gaia missions with Team Falcon and the rest of the squad. ^{Earth is Ultraman's Star}
