List of Ultraman Z characters

This is the character list of 2020 Ultra Series Ultraman Z.

STORAGE

Anti-Monster Robot Unit STORAGE (対怪獣ロボット部隊 ストレイジ, Tai Kaijū Robotto Butai Sutoreiji)[lower-alpha 1] is an attack team established to fight monsters and the disasters they create using special anti-monster combat robots.[2][3] Their preference in robots is due to Japan's popular culture with it.[1] The team itself is separated into two divisions: the Special Airborne Armor that actively combat monsters and the mechanic team that repairs SAA machines. Nonetheless both factions are easily cooperative with each others.[4]

When a STORAGE member piloted a SAA unit, remaining operatives in the field would usually drive into the scene with a Toyota LQ-based STEGG (ステッグ, Suteggu, stands for "Storage Egg") patrol car and armed with a beam rifle.[5][6][7]

Haruki Natsukawa (ナツカワ ハルキ, Natsukawa Haruki)[lower-alpha 2][10][11] is the 23-year-old protagonist of the show; a rookie pilot of STORAGE and a Karate master with a huge sense of justice. He was bonded with Z after a near-death experience and since then transforms into the giant to combat daily monster attacks despite the conflicting ideals about "lives to be protected" and "beings to be killed".[10][11]

Using the Ultra Z Riser (ウルトラゼットライザー, Urutora Zetto Raizā) and his personalized Ultra Access Card (ウルトラアクセスカード, Urutora Akusesu Kādo), Haruki can transform into Ultraman Z. By scanning three different Ultra Medals stored in his Z Holder (ゼットホルダー, Zetto Horudā), Haruki can grant Z access to different forms based on past Ultra Warriors and performing the Ultra's finishing moves.[12][13] The Z Riser was developed by Ultraman Hikari and received its name when Ultraman Z volunteered to be a tester under Zero's suggestion.
