This is a character list for the 1979 anime The Ultraman, a joint collaboration of Tsuburaya Production's Ultra Series with the anime studio Sunrise. In contrast to the Showa Era Ultra Series (from Ultra Q to Ultraman Leo), The Ultraman took place in an alternate universe wherein the main Ultraman Jonias was the first to arrive on Earth, as well as his point of origin not being Land of Light in M78, but rather the planet Ultra U-40.
The Earth Defense Army (地球防衛軍, Chikyū Bōei-gun) is a United Nations organization established for the purpose of Earth's defense, space development and observations around the world. There are bases located in the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Far East. Each branch had its own group of Science Defense Squad (科学警備隊, Kagaku Keibitai),[lower-alpha 1] abbreviated as SDS, an elite squad of soldiers and scientists formed in the wake of mysterious phenomenon across the globe.
Science Defense Squad
The series focuses mainly on the Far East branch of the SDS; the Earth Defense Army members led by Captain Akiyama, who later on was promoted in episode 26 with Gondo replacing him in episode 28. In the event of Empire of Heller's full-scale invasion on Earth, the SDS disobey orders from Earth and joined the U-40 Fleet to attack the Titan Base and made their invasion on Heller City of U-40. During their raid on the main tower, they were captured and almost executed by Mac Datar before Jonias interfered while Pig released them from their restrains. With the victory of the U-40 Fleet over the war, the SDS were sent back to Earth and bid farewell to Jonias and Amia months later.

The original captain of the SDS, who hand picked his Far East branch members on his own. Back in his days as a normal officer, he was a dear friend of Ogawara, who quit his job to build his anti-monster weapon Hector. In addition to his calm behavior, Akiyama is also observant towards his members. In aftermath of Gibaruga's fight, he was transferred to the monster observation team in the USA branch.
The succeeding captain, after replacing Akiyama in episode 28. He is known for wearing a scarlet coat over his uniform. Because of his harsh regiment, the SDS members were insecure with him at first until Gondo managed to save them by instructing the Super Maddock to repair at an emergency rate. Despite his boisterous attitude, he approached his members as an older brother-like figure in contrast to Akiyama's fatherly figure. He had a great intuition towards a monster's movements, such as being able to predict Gamiba's presence on Maroi Island after knowing such place had no record of earthquake by natural means but is also fearful of supernatural existence (such as the rumored sightings of Yuki-onna). When the Empire of Heller's invasion on Earth increased, Gondo rebelled against the high authorities of Earth Defense Army by sending the entire SDS on a mission to join the resistance movement from U-40 to stop the Empire of Heller on their home planet.
Compared to other SDS members, Kei was enlisted after he persuaded Captain Akiyama for the membership. He is the team's sharpshooter and is always cautious on Hikari's constant absence during monster attacks. Despite his boastful antics, Marume is also a thoughtful person and has soft spot for children.
The designer of the Super Maddock, whose recruitment into the team is due to his experience with the aforementioned aircraft. Even before the formation of SDS, Tobe had met Mutsumi earlier as they discussed their interest on the recent mysterious phenomenon that plagued the Earth. He is the team's weapons developer and was the acting captain in-between Akiyama's departure and Gondo's introduction into the SDS. In most missions, Tobe would plan any modifications made on the Super Maddock to better fit in selected mission. In the final episodes, Tobe and Marume managed to figure out Hikari's connection to Jonias by his constant absence during missions, as well as their computer saying there is virtually no difference between the two.

In the past, Hikari had once saved the entire Space Satellite EGG3 despite his declining oxygen level by killing a caterpillar-state Goglan from chewing the generator. Additionally, his act of keeping his heroic deeds a secret allows Jonias to choose him as a suitable host, having observe the incident from afar. At one point, Hikari and Jonias lost their lives in fighting the Devil Spirit and were brought to U-40 to be treated. There, he learned of his planet and U-40's connection to each other, fighting against invaders from Badel Star and bonded with Jonias again to save both U-40 and Earth. In the final episodes of the series, Hikari's constant absence has caught the attention of the rest of the SDS members, deducing his connection to Jonias. The two separated as Hikari joined the SDS in raiding Heller City's main tower but merged with Jonias during a fall from the tower.
One of the 100 robots who served the Earth Defense Army, Pig, or known by his actual name Computer Robot 78 (コンピュータロボット・78, Konpyūta Robotto Nana-jū Hachi) is chosen to aid the SDS as an analyzer. When Robot 101 was sent on a test run in the SDS's base, Pig felt itself outdated with constant ringing of monster presence (due to Compugon's activity) and ran away from the base with a malfunctioned Badei in order to commit suicide until Compugon's appearance restore his self confidence. In the event of Invader People's invasion on Earth, Pig becomes a stand-in pilot after Tobe and Marume stuck in monster containment planet Prison while Hikari (and later Mutsumi) was hospitalized from his injuries.
In episode 43, Monchi entered the Heller Army's electron transmitter by accident and fused with their Dostony A into Monchi-Dostony (モンキ・ドストニー, Monki Dosutonī, 43) until the Heller Fleet split them back to normal.[lower-alpha 3] As a result, the Dostony it bonded to had its consciousness suppressed and was brought back to the Heller Army's Titan Base. Monchi was separated shortly after and escaped the base through said transmitter to return to Earth.
Earth Defense Army's latest robot manufactured by the Far East Zone Robot Factory (極東ゾーンロボット工場, Kyokutō Zōn Robotto Kōjō).[6] It was sent to SDS for its training and demonstrate an apathetic behavior to its senior Pig due to the latter being an outdated model. After Compugon's destruction, 101 passed its test run with a 98% and was transferred to the Japan Alps.
A series of assistant robots found on the Battle Ship "Ultria." One particular model, 2001, was activated by Pig and served the SDS since then. The miniature robot is constantly at odds with Pig due to their same positions. Although it exited the Ultria before its destruction, what happened to it in the events after the Heller Empire's collapse are unknown.

In the height of the Empire of Heller's invasion on U-40, Amia escaped to Earth and reactivated the ship, giving it to the SDS in countering Heller's attack on Earth, as well as replacing the destroyed Super Maddock. Being made by the Ultras, the ship is powered by a nuclear fusion energy that is not of Earth properties and can sustain itself for at least 100 years. In episode 44, the Ultria was shown capable of splitting into two different components, Ultria A (ウルトリアα号, Urutoria Arufa-gō) and Ultria B (ウルトリアβ号, Urutoria Bēta-gō) respectively.
Ultra People
In The Ultraman, the Ultra People (ウルトラ人, Urutora-jin) are human-like residents of planet Ultra U-40 (ウルトラの星U40, Urutora no Hoshi Yū Fōtī), demonstrating a similar culture to Ancient Greece, wearing garments such as the Himation and Toga. Despite their initially primitive appearance, they possess advance science and technology, with an underground city which was hidden beneath the planet's surface.
A long time ago, the citizens of U-40 were human-like beings who wished to expand their race further to the outer space. Earth was one of the stars they visited and established the very first human civilization with Neanderthals. To combat against the evil forces in space, they created the Ultra-mind (ウルトラマインド, Urutora Maindo) and became Ultra-Humanoids (ウルトラヒューマノイド, Urutora Hyūmanoido). They would soon discard the Ultra-mind within a black hole to prevent any misuse from outside forces.
When the Earth was plagued by mysterious phenomenon, the Ultras sent their message and strongest warrior Jonias to guard the planet from monster attacks. One of these nefarious forces, called the Badel People invaded U-40 as their Devil Spirits were acting on Earth. With Jonias still in recuperation, Elec, Loto and the other five warriors would fight the invading forces while Hikari and Amia tried to invade the Badel Star. A fully healed Jonias participated in the battle again to save his kind while the other seven warriors contain the stolen Ultra-mind. However, not long after that, the Empire of Heller, a renegade faction of the Ultra People, invaded the U-40 in retaliation of their banishment in the past. The surviving Ultra People were led by Elec and Loto as the U-Fleet (U艦隊, Urutora Kantai, the "U" stands for "Ultra"), with the SDS joined them in a campaign to reclaim U-40.[10] With the Empire of Heller defeated and Heller killed, U-40 citizens that previously scattered in outer space returned to their home world and celebrated Jonias's victory.
Although still in human size, eight chosen warriors of U-40 have Star Symbols (スターシンボル, Sutā Shinboru) on their chest allowing them to change their sizes into giants and travel to any planets in short distances and measure their energy levels. As the Earth's atmosphere quickly drains their energies, they can only sustain their giant forms for 4 minutes as the Star Symbol changes color from blue to yellow, and finally to red after 30 seconds. When bonded with an Earthling or to transform into giant sizes, they used the beam-Flasher (ビームフラッシャー, Bīmu Furasshā), a star-like pendant by placing it on their forehead to transform. Starting from episode 20, later appearances had the transformation style added with the phrase "Ultrachange!" (ウルトラチェンジ!, Urutora Chenji!). According to Elec and Loto, regular people of U-40 can submit themselves into suspended animation to survive for a longer period, though this required the Ultra-mind to reverse the process altogether.
The eponymous Ultraman, Jonias is the strongest warrior of his kind who was dispatched to Earth in the height of unnatural phenomenon that caused monsters to appear.[5] He bonded with SDS member, Chouichirou Hikari, during the youth's return to Earth and had been helping his team in defending Earth from monster attacks.[5] During Badel's invasion on Earth and U-40, Jonias and Hikari lost their lives in the ensuing battle and were carried to his home world for recuperation. The recently healed Jonias bonded with Hikari once more to reverse the tide of the battle, therefore saving both their planets. During the U-40's Fleet's raid on Heller City, Jonias separated with Hikari to join his brethren in space in fighting against Empire of Heller's combat ships. Once his deed was done, he would fuse with the youth in one final time to save the SDS and Amia. Once peace has returned to Earth, Jonias revealed his human form to Hikari as he and Amia stayed on Earth to help repair the damages done from the ensuing war. Months later, the two bid farewell to the SDS but promised to return should Earth's safety be threatened again.
Since Jonias was the initial sole Ultraman in the series, he was only named as "Ultraman" from Pig's analysis and is referred to this by the Earthlings as well. Starting from episode 20, his original name Jonias was revealed and Hikari started calling his Ultraman partner by his real name in episode 46. Although his height is averagely 70 meters like his kind, Jonias can shift his size freely into microscopic and even enlarging to 120 meters after absorbing enough sunlight.[13] His favored attack is Planium Ray (プラニウム光線, Puraniumu Kōsen), which can be presented in two versions; A Type (shooting a ball of light)[21] or B Type (conventional hand beams like M78 Ultramen).[22]
The first Ultra Warrior aside from Jonias to appear. Having received the distressed beacon from his fellow brethren, Elec came to Earth with a space saucer and brought Hikari's lifeless body to U-40 for a resuscitation operation. He would join Loto and five other chosen warriors to defend their home world and reclaim the Ultra Mind when Badel tried to expel them from their planet.
His human form is known for his blonde hair. In his transformed state, Elec can use Elekrium Beam (エレクリウムビーム, Erekuriumu Bīmu) and Elec Barrier (エレクバリヤー, Ereku Bariyā) energy shield.[23]
Elec's comrade during their war with the Badel People, who return to combat despite his injuries. Alongside Loto, they founded the U-Fleet from U-40 residents that fled from Heller's tyrannical regime.
His human form is distinctively known for his brown hair. As an Ultra Humanoid, he can fire the Lotolaria Ray (ロトラリア光線, Rotoraria Kōsen) as his finisher.[23]
Jonias's younger sister. After healing Hikari during the Ultra People's fight with Badel, the two would pilot a spacecraft to attack the alien forces but separated from a stray beam as Jonias bonded with the youth again and saved his little sister. At some point of time, Amia developed an affection for Hikari and decided to go to Earth by stealing a Star Symbol, bonded with an ill girl named Kyoko Kodaka (小高 京子, Kodaka Kyōko), and even helped Jonias in fighting against Garubados. She arrived on Earth again to uncover the battleship Ultria in the height of the Empire of Heller's invasion but was forced to rejoin the surviving Ultra People. Hearing that the army would send a full scale invasion on Earth, Amia posed as one of the soldiers and slipped into an invading ship to contact the SDS.[24] When the Ultria was dispatched to space, Amia joined the SDS and later her own kind but was kidnapped by the Empire of Heller and put on trial by Heller. When Jonias and the other seven warriors foiled Heller's attempt to escape, Amia resurrected the President and escaped. Amia would later on join Jonias in observing Earth for months before returning to their home world.
As an Ultra Humanoid, Amia can unleash the Amiassher (アミアッシャー, Amiasshā) energy beam and use the Amia Eye (アミア・アイ, Amia Ai) technique to see in the dark.[23][25]
