Osamu Suzuki
Mientras investigaba lo que aparentemente eran dos bolas brillantes que se perseguían una a otra, el oficial patrullero científico Hayata resulta muerto cuando uno de los ovnis choca accidentalmente con el Mini-VTOL que pilotaba. El ser que maneja el ovni, un gigantesco alien rojo y plateado procedente de la Tierra de la Luz en la galaxia Nebula M78, se siente responsable de la muerte. En compensación, decide entregar su fuerza vital al terrícola, devolviéndole así la vida. Al mismo tiempo le entrega un artilugio, llamado la Cápsula Beta, la cual, cuando es necesario, transforma en secreto a Hayata en un gigante alienígena que será conocido como Ultraman.
