Trivia[]
- Mamoru Miyano is nicknamed Mamo, Mamo-chan and Momo by certain people and fans. Takeshi Tsuruno gives him the nickname Mamo-tan.
- Portraying an Ultraman was one of Miyano's childhood dreams and his favorite Ultra Warriors are Ultraseven and Ultraman Taro. His role in the Ultraman Series is taken further into portraying Shin Moroboshi, Zero's human disguise in Ultraman Premier 2011 and wished to be able to portray said character again in the future.
- He shares his favorite Ultra Warriors (Seven and Taro) with Hideo Ishiguro.
- Due to the nature of Compati Hero series that combines the Ultraman Series with Kamen Rider and Gundam into a crossover, Mamoru often gets the chance of voicing both Ultraman Zero and Setsuna F. Seiei (his prominent role in Gundam 00 and the entirety of Gundam Series in game publications). This is acknowledged further in Lost Heroes 2, where his characters; Ultimate Zero and Setsuna in 00 Qan[T], are paired in a finishing move that involves interaction despite their differing personalities.
