Trivia[]

  • His name is phonetically identical to voice actor Yuichi Nakamura, who voiced the titular character in Ultraman X, although they have different kanji for the "yuu" in their names. This was acknowledged by Nakamura (the actor) on Twitter, who wished to collaborate with the voice actor someday.[7]
    • Interestingly, Nakamura (the actor) had portrayed Graham Aker in a live stage-drama of Mobile Suit Gundam 00, a character who was voiced by Nakamura (the voice actor) in the anime. This was, again, also acknowledged by Nakamura (the actor) on Twitter.[8]
    • This was brought up again in a particular stage greeting, wherein he jokingly stated that his casting as Tokioka was a mistake on Tsuburaya Productions' behalf.[9]
  • Prior to the movie's release, during an interview in Oricon, Yuichi stated that he "learned a lot" from Raiga Terasaka and Kohshu Hirano's transforming poses, calling them his "seniors" to which the latter two begged him to stop. This was a subtle foreshadowing to Yuichi's character, Tokioka/Zabil, being the host of Evil Trigger.[10]
  • In July 2022, Yuichi modeled for Ultraman Decker outfits sold by Bandai.[5][6][11]
