Sayuri Tachibana (橘さゆり Tachibana Sayuri) is the deputy captain of Xio. She is mostly gentle but can be severe, acting as a mother to the team. She is in charge of strategy planning and analysis. She is also an expert in lifesaving, basing all her decisions to one goal: no casualties.

History

Tachibana works as a strategist and Lieutenant in Xio (Xeno invasion outcutters). She works away from her family, who lives in Canada to stay safe from monster attacks. Once, when on a mission investigating Space Beasts, she was trapped, but transformed into Ultraman Nexus to destroy them, before flying to Canada to save her family.

Transformation

To transform into Ultraman Nexus, Tachibana removes the cover of the Evoltruster and raises it above or in front of her.

Trivia

• Sayuri's husband is played by the same actor who played Kazuki Komon, who was one of the hosts of Ultraman Nexus.
• She is the sixth in overall, and the third Deunamist that is able to transform Nexus into Junis and the first and only Dunamist not to be from the World of N.
  • The writer revealed that she was supposed to have her personal Junis form but this is scrapped.
  • This was also intentionally made to give her a resemblance to Nagi Saijyo, Night Raider's sub-captain whom was the fourth. Unlike Sayuri, Nagi's time as both a Dunamist and Nexus were cut short after she fell into Dark Zagi's trap.
