Satoko possesses a gentle and caring personality. She showers her son, Jun, with love and shares a distinct emotional bond with Gento. Throughout the series, she exhibits deep affection for her family and a genuine concern for Gento's well-being.

History[]

Pre-Ultraman Blazar[]

After graduating from junior college, Satoko once worked as a healthcare administrator at a hospital. However, at the age of 22, she attended a dinner party and, through a friend's introduction, happened to meet Gento. After a year of getting to know each other, they decided to tie the knot. Satoko resigned from her job and became a full-time homemaker. Following this, the two of them welcomed their firstborn son, Jun.

While Satoko was aware that her husband was a member of GGF, due to Gento deliberately concealing certain facts, she had always believed that Gento was merely working in the organization's Engineer Unit and was unaware of his actual past as a member of SMB, let alone the captain of SKaRD.

One evening, while Satoko and Gento were doing household chores, they learned that Jun wanted to go see the monster egg discovered in Yamanashi Prefecture. Since Gento had a day off, the family decided to embark on a day trip to the location where the monster egg was found: Oniwaku Valley.

Upon arriving at the scene, Satoko, along with other curious citizens, observed the GGF Monster Egg Handling Team and others as they continued their investigative work. Suddenly, the monster egg cracked open, and a Baby Demaaga hatched from it. Satoko excitedly witnessed the entire process, but then saw GGF members fire tranquilizer guns to calm the Baby Demaaga and put it to sleep. However, Baby Demaaga let out a painful scream, which also summoned the adult Demaaga from underground.

Not long after, the mother Demaaga appeared nearby, and as the monster disaster alarm sounded, the nearby citizens evacuated the scene as per the police's instructions. Satoko and her family had no choice but to leave via the evacuation route. In order to secretly transform into Ultraman Blazar, Gento used the excuse that "perhaps there are still citizens trapped in the disaster area" to separate himself from his wife and child. Despite Satoko's questioning of this decision, she was persuaded by Gento's justification as a GGF member, and she temporarily left with Jun.

Satoko and Jun watched Ultraman Blazar safely send Demaaga mother and son underground.

Shortly after, the two of them witnessed the appearance of Ultraman Blazar and were able to witness the entirety of Blazar's battle. Finally, they saw Blazar use a roar to neutralize the GGF's third wave of missile barrage, then transform the Spiral Burrade into a cocoon of light, calming the monster mother and child before safely sending them underground.

Afterward, they reunited with Gento, and Satoko expressed relief at his safe return. The family embarked on their journey back, filled with joy and gratitude.Parent and Child

Some time later, Satoko participated in the sports meeting held at Jun's school. However, due to Gento's work commitments, he was unable to attend. In fact, he even got the date of the sports meeting wrong because of his job. Although Satoko had sent him a photo of Jun as a supporter team, Gento did not see that message.

On a day off, Gento wanting to make up for missing the sports meeting, invited Jun to spend time together. However, Jun seeing how hard his father worked, suggested that Gento should take it easy and rest. Satoko, on the other hand, encouraged Jun to accept his father's invitation, noting that Gento rarely had more than one day off. Despite this, Jun still wished for his dad to rest and declined the invitation. Instead, he went out after seeing a TKB report about a "tsuchinoko."

Afterward, Jun began spending more time playing with his friends. Satoko and Gento noticed the doodles in Jun's school notes and were pleased to see him displaying a more typical childlike aspect. Jun's mature and always-considerate nature had concerned them, and Satoko didn't want him to suppress his feelings.

Satoko looked for Jun in panic.

When Gavadon appeared in Mitama City, Satoko and Jun evacuated together. However, Jun used the excuse of "forgetting something" to leave her side, which caused Satoko to panic as she searched for him and got separated in the crowd. It wasn't until the evening when she reunited with Gento by the riverside that they found Jun, and they were relieved to know he was safe.

Following Gento's plan for an upcoming holiday, which involved a family camping trip in the countryside, the three of them embarked on their journey back home once again. Betwixt Morn and Dusk

Satoko hopes that Gento can pay more attention to Jun's feelings.

In October, due to the impact of Irugo gas in the past week in Nijino Ward, Tokyo, SKaRD embarked on a busy investigation. With Gento repeatedly returning home late and failing to interact with Jun, Satoko expressed dissatisfaction with Gento's excessive dedication to work. She believed that the workload of the Engineer Unit should not be so burdensome. She specifically informed him that Jun had made a bracelet for Gento at school, but Gento had not taken it and left it casually, making Jun feel lonely. She hoped that Gento would wear his son's gift to work next time.

The next morning, Satoko noticed that Jun's mood was still low. She sent a message to Gento through her phone, hoping he could return home early to accompany Jun. However, as Irugo began to rampage in the city, Gento only conveyed a message that he would be late, leaving Satoko feeling helpless.

However, when watching TKB's news, she and Jun witnessed Gento's actions in rescuing the journalist team and confirmed that her husband was not actually a member of the Engineer Unit. She instantly understood the responsibilities Gento bears. After their reunion, she expressed to Gento that she understands things are difficult but hopes he can promise not to act recklessly.The Towering Terror

Satoko Hiruma 24 03

Satoko bids farewell to Gento, who is departing to carry out the Varallon countermeasure mission.

As Gento prepared to embark on his mission to the moon to confront Varallon, he returned home to spend his final moments with Satoko and Jun. Late at night, Gento, who had originally planned to be seen off by his son, left earlier than anticipated. However, Satoko keenly observed the subtle unease in his demeanor.

During their farewell, Satoko noticed that Gento was wearing the bracelet given to him by Jun. Upon understanding the true nature of Gento's mission, she bid him farewell in a simple yet extraordinary manner. When Gento left the house, Satoko wept in sorrow.The Approaching Third Wave

During the final battle between Ultraman Blazar and Varallon in Tokyo, Satoko and Jun cheered on Blazar by watching TKB's live broadcast on television. This invisible family bond caused the memento on Gento's left hand (the bracelet and wedding ring) to glow, becoming a crucial element in unleashing the Blazar Beam.

When Gento returned home, Satoko and Jun were waiting for him. Satoko greeted him with a relieved smile.The Ones Who Embrace the Earth

In the following period, Satoko's physical condition seemed not too good as she frequently went out alone, and even when Jun asked, she just said, "It's nothing." This raised Jun's suspicions, prompting him to resolve to talk to her.

In the final scene, during a barbecue party held at home with the Hiruma family and members of SKaRD, Jun casually announced to everyone, "I'm about to become a big brother!" This revealed the true reason behind Satoko's discomfort, indicating that she was actually pregnant with Gento's second child, but whether it's a boy or a girl remains uncertain.Ultraman Blazar The Movie: Tokyo Kaiju Showdown
