Ken Sato (Ultraman)

History part 1:

Kenji Sato is the son of Hayao Sato and Emiko Sato, born in Tokyo, Japan. He spent his childhood in an apartment building in Odaiba, where, influenced by his parents, he developed a strong interest in baseball from a young age and harbored great admiration and longing for the figure of Ultraman. Kenji's father, Hayao, hoped that his son would become the next Ultraman, following in his heroic footsteps. However, his mother, Emiko, insisted that Kenji become an outstanding baseball player. One night, Gigantron's attack ultimately changed the fate of this family. Due to the frequent Kaiju attacks in Japan, Kenji's parents decided to separate. Kenji moved to Los Angeles, United States, with his mother, while his father, Hayao, stayed in Tokyo.

History part 2:

This upheaval left young Kenji feeling confused and pained, unable to comprehend the reasons behind his parents' separation. He began to believe that his father had abandoned him and his mother to pursue a career as a kaiju researcher and as Ultraman. This belief left a deep mark on his adult psyche, causing him to grow weary of the prospect of becoming Ultraman and instead focus on his baseball career, all while becoming distant from his father. Despite everything, Kenji still inherited his father's Ultraman abilities. Twenty years later, Kenji finally realized his dream of becoming a baseball player. As the star player for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Major League Baseball, he was active in the baseball world under the name "Ken Sato." With his outstanding performance, he earned numerous honors, including the Gold Glove Award and the Silver Slugger Award. Throughout his baseball career, Ken achieved remarkable results, boasting a batting average of 420 and 624 successful stolen bases. However, he never managed to win a championship.

History part 3:

Ken chose to stay away from the media spotlight, avoiding multiple interviews and keeping a certain distance from his teammates. The deep pain and misunderstanding regarding his father, along with the difficulties he faced in adjusting to the new environment after moving to the United States, made it hard for him to fully open up. Despite the increasing attention from the public, Ken insisted on maintaining his unique style, wrapping himself in a persona of pride while silently enduring his inner struggles. A few months later, when Hayao was injured and could no longer fulfill his duties as Ultraman, he contacted Ken and Emiko, hoping that Ken could take on his identity to protect Japan. This meant that Ken would have to assume the role of Ultraman, destined to shoulder the responsibility of saving the world. Emiko endorsed this plan and wished for Ken to adjust well to his new life in Tokyo. However, one day, Emiko went missing in an accident and was not heard from for a long time, plunging Ken into immense grief. He sought help from Mina, asking him to track his mother’s last known GPS location, but to no avail. His mother’s disappearance became an unhealed wound in his heart.

History part 4:

Amid complex emotions, Ken reluctantly abandoned his life in the United States and returned to Japan. He took up residence in a base near Tokyo Bay named "Ultra Base" and, under the guise of playing for the team, joined the Yomiuri Giants. This sudden move garnered significant attention from major sports media outlets in Japan. At the press conference, Ken displayed an extremely arrogant and boastful attitude, constantly bragging about his athletic abilities and promising to lead the struggling Yomiuri Giants back to the top. Nevertheless, a sports journalist named Ami Wakita noticed his actions. When Ami inquired if Ken had come back to Japan because of the "emotional strain of losing a family member," Ken avoided the question and promptly departed. Following his inheritance of his father's powers, Ken became the new Ultraman and began to fight Kaiju attacks in his role as the current Ultraman. However, initially as a novice, he lacked the determination, maturity, and sense of responsibility needed to effectively repel the Kaiju. Consequently, he frequently faced counterattacks from the Kaiju during several battles and was even disregarded by the quasi-military organization KDF, whose primary goal was to eradicate Kaiju threats.

history part 5:

After the battle with Neronga concluded, Ken went to meet journalist Ami for an interview as scheduled. They had a deep conversation at a soba shop, during which Ami's questions gradually caused Kenji to start questioning his own choices. He realized he hadn't been aware of the harm caused to the surrounding environment and innocent civilians during his battles. Moreover, Japanese people traditionally expect Ultraman to engage Kaiju with minimal collateral damage, a concept Ken struggled to grasp. He remained more interested in his baseball career and viewed "becoming Ultraman" as an unnecessary source of pressure that he wanted to avoid. During the baseball competition, Ken's American-style attitude and demeanor clashed with the atmosphere of Japanese baseball. Furthermore, his aloofness from other team members and his abilities made him a target for taunting by opposing players. One day, Ken headed to New Tokyo Dome for his first game of the season as the star player. However, halfway through the game, Gigantron suddenly crashed into the stadium, attempting to seize an object closely monitored by KDF. Ken had no choice but to abandon the game, transform into Ultraman to pursue Gigantron, and attempt to prevent KDF's aerial forces from attacking Gigantron. Ultimately, both he and Gigantron were struck by missiles and fell into Tokyo Bay.

History part 6:

When Ken regained consciousness, he found himself lying next to the unconscious Gigantron and saw the object that KDF had been pursuing. As the steel casing of the object peeled away, it revealed a Gigantron egg. As he carefully observed it, the egg unexpectedly hatched into a "baby." With KDF still actively searching for the egg, Ken's protective instincts were triggered. He decided to protect this Kaiju baby and brought it back to his own base. Ken had not considered the consequences of bringing the Kaiju baby home beforehand. Soon, he found himself having to care for the baby because it began to see Ken as its "mother." Despite watching over this dependent life, Ken resisted the role of being a "Kaiju caregiver." He wished to send the baby to the legendary "Kaiju Island," though no one knew its whereabouts. With no other choice, Ken could only keep the baby confined in his underground base.

History part 8:

During this time, Hayao witnessed the moment Gigantron was shot down and urgently contacted Ken, heading to his home. However, due to long-standing distance and misunderstandings, Ken vehemently refused his father's help, eventually watching his desolate father drive away.Yet, the problems were far from over. Despite Mina's assistance, Ken struggled to maintain balance while caring for the baby. He had to juggle daily concerns for the baby's well-being with the demands of team training and games. Under the dual pressures, both physical and mental, his performance began to decline, drawing criticism from the public and even stern warnings from Coach Shimura. After three months of struggling, Ken finally broke down, realizing he couldn't juggle both roles simultaneously and cried uncontrollably.

History part 9:

In despair, Ken called Ami, the only person he could confide in, and in a five-minute conversation, asked her how she balanced work and childcare. Watching the baby mimic him playing baseball, Ken found inspiration from Ami's experience and decided to approach caring for the baby from a new perspective. This experience gradually helped him understand the joys and responsibilities of parenthood. The next evening, Ken headed to the restaurant "Tonkatsu Tonki" in Meguro for an in-depth interview with Ami. During their meeting, Ami asked Ken why he had hesitated to contact his father for so long. She also proposed, based on her observations, that Ken secretly wished his father had been there to accompany him throughout his upbringing. In truth, Ken cared more about companionship than bonuses or wealth. After carefully considering Ami's advice, Ken began to reevaluate his own thoughts. Midway through Ken and Ami's conversation, Ken was horrified to learn that the Kaiju baby had escaped from the Ultrabase. He immediately rode his motorcycle frantically to Daikanyama, where the baby had appeared. Restless due to acid reflux, the baby wandered through the city, making it challenging for Ken, as Ultraman, to catch. When the baby began scaling Tokyo Tower, Ken hastily climbed up to prevent its risky behavior. Yet, just as Ken reached the top, KDF forces fired tranquilizers to subdue the baby, causing it to lose balance and fall from the tower. Ken tried to catch the baby, but inadvertently, his actions resulted in it suffering a fracture upon impact. Seeing the baby Kaiju in excruciating pain, Ken felt profound guilt. He immediately flew back to the secret base, evading KDF's tracking. At that moment, the only person Ken could turn to for help was his father. When Hayao arrived at the base, Ken pleaded with him to treat the baby. Hayao used Ken's childhood "Ollie" plush toy and sang songs to gradually soothe the baby's emotions.

History part 10:

To assist in the rehabilitation and wilderness survival training of the Kaiju baby, Hayao decided to stay at the secret base as Ken's assistant. Initially, Ken was reluctant to reconcile with his father. However, as they both cared for the baby, Ken gradually chose to cooperate with his father. Hayao named the baby Emi after his wife. As the rehabilitation training progressed, Ken's relationship with his father improved gradually, and Ken himself became more approachable. He started coaching the Yomiuri Giants players in baseball, achieving excellent results in games, and his life gradually began to improve. Shortly thereafter, Ken, Hayao, and Mina piloted the Ultra Jet, taking Emi to a cabin where Ken's family had lived during his childhood. There, Ken finally understood his father's dedication to finding his missing mother. He asked his father about the responsibilities that came with being Ultraman and understood the weight of that duty. Ken realized that being Ultraman wasn't just about combat but also about using his powers to restore balance, leading to a long-awaited reconciliation between father and son. However, the tranquility was shattered when KDF forces located Emi and launched drone attacks against Ken and his family. Hayao was injured and fell into a coma on the spot. Meanwhile, amidst the chaos, Emi underwent a metamorphosis, further complicating the situation. Despite Ken's strong objections, Emi, after completing her metamorphosis, was guided by the echolocation of Mecha Gigantron as she flew into the sky, searching for the way back to Kaiju Island.

History part 11:

KDF deployed Mecha Gigantron, which attacked Ultrabase with missiles, causing widespread devastation. Ken survived the explosions but couldn't find any trace of his father. Even Mina was affected by the blast, with her systems severely damaged and ceasing to function. In sorrow, Ken decided to transform into Ultraman once again, determined to rescue Emi and avenge his father. At night, Ken intervened just in time to stop Mecha Gigantron from reaching Kaiju Island. However, during the intense battle, he was shocked to discover that Mecha Gigantron's true identity was none other than the manipulated Gigantron. Dr. Onda commanded Mecha Gigantron to exploit this vulnerable moment and defeat Ultraman. Fortunately, Ultradad intervened just in time, giving Gigantron the chance to break free from KDF's control and regain her senses. Knowing his father was safe, Ken regained his morale and transformed into Ultraman once again to engage in a final showdown with the Destroyer.

History part 12:

During the conflict, Ken/Ultraman was injured in the shoulder by an attack from Destroyer. In this critical moment, with the help of his father, Ultradad, Ken's vertical right arm was supported by his father's horizontal left arm. Together, they fired the Spacium Beam at Destroyer, and with the assistance of Mecha Gigantron and Emi, they managed to disable Destroyer. However, inside Destroyer, Dr. Onda activated the self-destruct button, putting the cities surrounding Tokyo Bay at risk of destruction. In the end, Ken decided to sacrifice himself by deploying the Force Shield towards the area where Destroyer was located, mitigating the damage to the surrounding regions. Following the battle, Ken was confirmed to have survived but sustained severe injuries. During his recovery, he participated in an interview with Ami, reflecting on how he had grown to offer guidance to his team. Ultimately, he led the Yomiuri Giants to their first championship in many years, earning praise from all quarters. By this time, Ken had shed his earlier arrogance, attributing the victory wholeheartedly to teamwork and expressing his joy at being a part of it. In the final moments of the interview, Ken played a message from his mother and expressed that his memories with her were the most cherished thing to him at that moment. In the film's final scene, Ken, accompanied by his father, Emi, and Gigantron, successfully located "Kaiju Island."

Height: 41 meters Weight: 35,000 tons His suit and helmet are mainly silver excepting the back of his head, his arms, waist and part of his legs which are red. In his chest he has a light that indicates if he is about to detransform back into Ken Sato. In his helmet he has a small crest-like structure that doest do anything, it's just there for decoration. His eyes are almond shaped, blu and has a constant glow in them.

His habilities as Ultraman:

Willpower: Unlike most Human Hosts, Ken does not need a transformation device to transform into Ultraman. All he has to do is focus his willpower to transform. Ken jumps into the sky and transforms into Ultraman in a flash of light. Color Timer: The standard Color Timer, but instead of measuring his energy levels, Ken's time as Ultraman tethers on emotional balance. If he gets too stressed or his emotions run rampant, Ultraman's Color Timer starts flashing red, and he will de-transform. Likewise, if he recovers from this imbalance, his Color Timer returns to blue. Eyes: Unlike most Ultras, Ultraman's eyes are blue, and the white lights in his eyes appear to reflect the movement of his gaze. Flight: Ultraman can soar freely in the skies. Spacium Beam (スペシウム光線, Supeshiumu Kōsen): Ultraman's iconic finisher, a powerful energy beam fired from arms crossed in the '+' position. The first time Ken used the Spacium Beam was with assistance from his father, Ultradad, with his vertical right arm being supported by his father's horizontal left. Ultra Slash: A buzzsaw-like energy disc that Ultraman forms in his hands and tosses at foes. It can also return to him like a boomerang. Energy Punch: Ultraman channels energy into his arm to enhance his punches. Force Shield: An energy barrier deployed by Ultraman to block incoming attacks, or as a dome to contain an explosion. Ultraman exhibits a complete physiological linkage before and after transformation, including aspects like aging and injuries. The blinking of the timer is based on mental strength, and it's even possible to stop the timer from blinking through sheer concentration. However, if the timer blinks for an extended period, the transformation will be forcibly terminated. Due to Ken directly inheriting his father's lineage, he also fully inherits his father's physiological traits.
