List of Ultraman Gaia characters

This is the character page for the 1998-1999 tokusatsu Ultra Series Ultraman Gaia.

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. 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. 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. Their connection caused him to be fired from XIG in episode 23 until he was hired again under Commander Ishimuro's wishes. Gamu accidentally revealed his identity as Gaia, and Fujimiya's identity as well, to his XIG teammates when he was witnessing Agul's defeat by Zebubu. 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 the 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. 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.

Gamu Takayama is portrayed by Takeshi Yoshioka (吉岡 毅志, Yoshioka Takeshi) 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 television series.

Hiroya Fujimiya (藤宮 博也, Fujimiya Hiroya) is the 22 year old Alchemy Star deserter, serving as both rival and senior to Gamu. 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. 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.
