List of Ultraman Gaia characters
This is the character page for the 1998-1999 tokusatsu Ultra Series Ultraman Gaia.
Protagonists
Gamu Takayama
Gamu Takayama (高山 我夢, Takayama Gamu) is the main character and hailed from Chiba Prefecture. Aged 20 years old, he was a member of Alchemy Stars, and obtained a doctorate in Quantum physics at the age of 17.[1] Back in his childhood days, Gamu was usually ostracized by other children due to his exceptional intelligence but he does have a pure heart, choosing not to provoke a fight and is on good terms with several people he has met.
At the beginning of the series, Gamu enrolled in the Quantum Physics Laboratory of Jonan University and met Ultraman Gaia in an experiment to discover the will of the Earth. During C.O.V.'s invasion, he was bestowed with Gaia's light to fight against the monster and was hired as the XIG's analyzer.[2] His XIG Fighter possesses a remote control system that allowed him to transform without raising suspicions. While fighting as Gaia, Gamu always found himself clashing with an Alchemy Stars deserter Fujimiya, who gained the ability to transform into Agul.[3] Their connection caused him to be fired from XIG in episode 23 until he was hired again under Commander Ishimuro's wish. After Gaia and Agul's defeat by Zogu, Gamu and Fujimiya's identities were exposed worldwide and he briefly regained the ability to transform to fight against her. In aftermath of the battle, Gamu resumed his life as a university student. In Once Again Gaia, Gamu was given the position of an irregular soldier when briefly joining the XIG again. His encounter with Rinar provided him the power to transform into Gaia again and fight against Gakuzom.
Despite his excellence in the scientific field, Gamu is shown to be weak in terms of physical fitness and eventually trains harder as the series progresses to keep up Gaia's performance. This becomes essential when Gaia received the light of Agul as it needed a stronger body to catch up with the increase of power.[4] In The Battle In Hyperspace, Gamu's favorite book is the Irish novel Gulliver's Travels, being the source of his inspiration in Quantum physics. His main transformation device is the Esplender (エスプレンダー, Esupurendā), lifting it upwards when transforming into Ultraman Gaia.[5]
Gamu Takayama is portrayed by Takeshi Yoshioka (吉岡 毅志, Yoshioka Takeshi)[1] and Jun Masuo (増尾 遵, Masuo Jun) in his childhood. The setting of Gamu is supposedly to be a "boy genius", but Takeshi is able to portray him in several feats. Takeshi himself overjoyed when he was able to reprise Gamu in a separate work, Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers, although Gamu in said movie is portrayed as a separate iteration to the original televisions series.[6]
Hiroya Fujimiya
Hiroya Fujimiya (藤宮 博也, Fujimiya Hiroya) is the 22 year old Alchemy Star deserter, serving as both rival and senior to Gamu.[7][lower-alpha 1] He spent his time searching for answers to counter the threat of Radical Destruction Bringer through the prediction of Chrisis and was eventually bestowed with the light of Agul, three years before Gamu obtained Gaia's light.
Having been deceived by Chrisis that humanity would be Earth's destroyer, Fujimiya deserted the Alchemy Stars and became a wanted person in the eyes of G.U.A.R.D. His point of view usually clashed with the more idealistic Gamu, which gradually became an intense rivalry. He also met the KCB reporter, Reiko on various occasions. With the death of his colleague Kyoko Inamori, he reached his breaking point and this led to him awakening various monsters from around the Earth via Agul's power.[3] With the advent of Zoruim and Gamu revealing that his supercomputer Chrisis was long ago hacked, Fujimiya descended into the point of breakdown, surrendering Agul's light to Gamu before seemingly vanishing in an explosion from a fireball. Although surviving the attack, Fujimiya tried multiple times to attack the Radical Destruction Bringer with his own resources before he fell into despair and became near suicidal. At the time of Gamu's capture by Σ-Zuiguru, Fujimiya regained both his will and Agul's light to save his comrade, eventually leading him to join forces with Gamu. His identity as Agul was accidentally exposed by Gamu after witnessing his defeat by Zebubu, simultaneously revealing his identity as Gaia to the XIG members. After losing Agul's light to Zogu, Fujimiya's Chrisis was put to use by G.U.A.R.D. as they briefly restore the Ultras' powers for a counterattack. In the epilogue, Fujimiya left for parts unknown while wearing bright clothes and smiling.
In Once Again Gaia, Fujimiya once again went on the run from G.U.A.R.D. after attempts to lure Zonnel away from an urban area went awry. While hiding, he met Melissa, a Rinar who restore Agul's light to the Agulater.
Although he is not affiliated to any group, Fujimiya is rich enough to own a private jet and was seen twice riding a motorcycle.[lower-alpha 2] Agul's light is stored within the Agulater (アグレイター, Agureitā), a brace worn on the right arm which spins 180 degree before opening up its wing-like appendage to reveal Agul's light.[9] In Once Again Gaia, Fujimiya held the device directly on his hand and transform in a similar manner to Gamu with his Esplender. He can also channel Agul's power, such as moving in a blinding speed to evade G.U.A.R.D. troops and break into the Geo Base.
Hiroya Fujimiya is portrayed by Hassei Takano (高野 八誠, Takano Hassei), who in real life is married to Yukari Ishida, Reiko Yoshii's actor in the same series.[7] In Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers, both of their characters' alternate iterations were portrayed as a married couple with their real life daughter on the set.

Tsutomu Niiboshi (新星 勉, Niiboshi Tsutomu) is the main character of The Battle in Hyperspace.[10]

During King of Mons' rampage, Tsutomu was able to wish for Tiga and Dyna's arrival to assist Gaia and turn the tables of the battle.

Arriving on Tsutomu's world, she developed an interest on the boy and allowed him to wish for Gamu's existence to their world. Unfortunately, it also fell into the hands of Hiroshi Kashimada, who wished Satanbizor to their world as well. After being sent back to his world, Gamu decided to return after being visited by Lisa's vision. With Hiroshi and his friends influenced by the Red sphere's power, they created King of Mons as a result until Tsutomu knock them back to their senses and Gaia arrived. Tsutomu would later wish for Tiga and Dyna before wishing for the ball to exist.

Director Kazuya Konaka mentioned that the Red Sphere's took the appearance of Lisa from a girl who Tsutomu would met in the future (who he met at the last scene of the movie), making Tsutomu's image as "protector of the future".[11] He also envisioned the Red Sphere's role based on Brainwave Monster Gango (脳波怪獣 ギャンゴ, Nōha Kaijū Gyango) from Ultraman and due to this, a lot of comedic elements were placed in the movie's plot.[12]

The red giant of light who appeared when the Earth responded to the strong will of Gamu Takayama's desire to protect people of Earth, and bestowed the young man Gaia's red "light of Earth" (大地の光, Daichi no Hikari).[2] Gaia was named by Gamu in episode 3 after the Greek personification of the Earth and Gaia hypothesis. Although Gamu is consciously in control of the giant, there are times when Gaia would exert his own full strength due to his dedication to the human beings and Earth.[23]

Aside from the upgraded strength of his original attacks, Gaia can also perform Agul V1's original techniques, such as the Liquidator, the Photon Crusher and the Agul Blade. Because of the improvements in Gaia's body and the acceptance of Agul's light, Gamu required the need to train himself in order to catch up with his compatibility.[4]

His true purpose was to guard the Earth from the threats of Radical Destruction Bringer but was sidetracked from his human host (Fujimiya)'s misguided ideology and fought Gaia on certain occasions. After realizing his mistake, Fujimiya surrendered Agul's light to Gaia but regained it from the Earth at the height of Σ-Zuiguru's invasion. It was at this point the two started to fight on the same side and eventually faced against the Radical Destruction Bringer's minions at the series' finale arc.[27]
His forms include:

Ultraman Agul is voiced by Hassei Takano (Hiroya Fujimiya's actor) in the original series and by Kouta Nemoto (根本 幸多, Nemoto Kōta) in Ultraman Boy no Urukoro.[29] His name officially appeared in episode 16 after the Roman letters "AGUL" appeared on the screen from Fujimiya's flashback. In real life, Ultraman Agul is named by the coined word for the English words "aggressive" and "agreement", as well as the Japanese word aku (悪, lit. "evil"). His mouth is designed after the B Type suit of Ultraseven.[27][30] In the original planning, Agul was meant to disappear but his and Fujimiya's eventual return was decided after finding the character's increasing popularity.[31]
