Yu Koyanagi has been cast as Yuichiro Asakage, a scientist with the Terrestrial Peaceable Union (TPU), and the Mecha Engineer for the anti-Sphere Unit, the newly reformed GUTS-Select.
Please look forward to seeing Yu Koyanagi as Yuichiro in his first return to the Ultraman series since playing the protagonist Run, who transformed into Zero, in 2010’s Ultraman Zero THE MOVIE: Ultra Deciding Fight! The Belial Galactic Empire.
Yuichiro Asakage (31)
A scientist belonging to the Terrestrial Peaceable Union’s (TPU) Technology Division.
He develops the technology for GUTS-Select’s combat mechs. He comes personally to the Nursedessei to deliver new armaments he creates to the crew.
Befitting a scientist, he is always calm and composed, and if roped into battle he can control the mechs or give commands to their pilots.
Look forward to seeing what kind of mechs Yuichiro will create.
Cast: Yu Koyanagi
Nice to meet you, I’m Yu Koyanagi. I’m returning to the Ultraman universe after I played protagonist Run in Ultraman Zero THE MOVIE: Ultra Deciding Fight! The Belial Galactic Empire 12 years ago. This time I’ll be playing Yuichiro, a scientist supporting the team. I was happy to return to the set and meet some of the same crew members, and I’m moved to see them continue to watch over the series. Everyone welcomed me warmly on set and reminded me that I’m here to demonstrate my craft. I’ll devote myself to providing all my acting skills to this show.
