History[]
Pre-Ultraman Dyna[]
In the past, Reika lost her parents in an accident, and after growing up with her brother, the two of them joined TPC as trainees. However, when her brother died in the R'lyeh Tragedy, Reika became determined to join the newly reformed TPC team, Super GUTS, in order to have the power to easily defeat enemies. However, she was unable to pass the final test due to an injury, so she joined the Passion Red Corps, a fighting force that opposed Super GUTS and became a subordinate of Kihachi Gondou.
When Ultraman Dyna appeared, the Passion Red Corps was dissatisfied with the organization's reliance on Ultraman. After the entire Passion Red Corps was wiped out trying to regain the Clarkov NF-3000 and the NSP Campanella, she became the vice-captain of the reformed Black Buster Corps. However, during the Prometheus abduction incident, she and other members were brainwashed by Alien Monera and injured during the battle on Cliomos Islands. Afterward, according to the will of Captain Agata, she was promoted to captain and witnessed the battle between Dyna and Ultraman Tiga in a shelter.
Subsequently, due to her subordinate Kenji Fudo being influenced by Asuka and leaving the team, she harbored a huge grudge against Super GUTS and decided to follow Gondou in restarting Project F.Ultraman Dyna: Zero Drive Towards Tomorrow
