Ultraman Leo[]
Takeshi is one of the assistant instructors at the Jonan Sports Center and also a junior to Gen Otori. Upon his initial appearance, he greatly admired Gen's excellent gymnastic skills. Since Gen joined MAC, Takeshi has often served as a substitute for Dan Moroboshi, assisting Gen in combat training. Besides actively instructing children and gymnasts in practice, he frequently accompanies Toru Umeda, Kaoru Umeda, and others in activities at the Jonan Sports Center, such as picnics and outings, along with Gen and Momoko Yamaguchi.
One day, at the Jonan Sports Center, a woman named Saeko Murashima was diligently training in artistic gymnastics, with Takeshi instructing her. Soon, Saeko successfully executed a gymnastic move called the "windmill", which delighted Takeshi. Saeko was not only his childhood friend but also his fiancée.
However, on her way home that evening, Saeko encountered an attack from an Alien Wolf. Earlier, during its escape, the Alien Wolf was shot by Gen and gravely injured. This left it weakened, prompting it to immediately possess Saeko's body. When MAC assigned Gen to take Saeko to their headquarters for investigation, Takeshi intervened upon learning of this, asserting Saeko's innocence.
The next morning, Takeshi attempted to invite Saeko out, but when Saeko didn't respond, he entered her room, only to be surprised to find that Saeko was gradually exhibiting characteristics of the Alien Wolf. Even when he pulled back the curtains, Saeko screamed in agony, unable to bear the stimulation of the sunlight. Eventually, Saeko's mother asked Takeshi to leave the house. Unable to accept Saeko's sudden mutation, Takeshi wept uncontrollably at the door.
When Takeshi heard movement in the room, he entered once again. By then, Saeko, transformed into the Alien Wolf, had already escaped through the door and, driven by hunger, fearlessly attacked Junko Shirakawa, who was investigating nearby during the day. Despite being injured, Takeshi stepped forward without hesitation to stop the Alien Wolf.
The Alien Wolf eventually transformed into a giant form on the ground and was defeated by Ultraman Leo. Witnessing Saeko's death, Takeshi was overwhelmed with unbearable pain and wept bitterly. However, with the assistance of Leo Mask, Saeko was granted a new lease of life and reunited with Takeshi.Behold! Ultra Horror Series - The Werewolf's Bride
Shortly after, Silverbloome destroyed MAC in space, and on Earth, the Black Directive directed Silverbloome to land on the ground and began wreaking havoc in the Shinjuku area. Silverbloome systematically demolished buildings, among which Momoko was shopping with Kaoru and Takeshi Nomura in a shopping center. When the buildings collapsed, they were buried under the debris and tragically lost their lives.
Upon returning to Earth, Gen witnessed the devastated and tragic scene of Tokyo and only realized the severity of the situation after reaching the makeshift shelter. He then found Toru, who was searching for Momoko and the others. Together, they searched the area where the seriously injured were gathered, and eventually, upon seeing a list posted with the names of the deceased, they discovered Takeshi, Momoko, and Kaoru's names. This left the two survivors utterly devastated.Terror of the Saucer Race Series - MAC Annihilated! The Flying Saucer Is a Living Creature
