Dan Moroboshi
Dan Moroboshi
- Portrayed by: Kohji Moritsugu, Rob Roy (TNT dub)
- Alien Among Us: Disguised as a human, aware of human's potential for good as well as their hubris and occasional cruelty.
- All-Loving Hero: Loves the Earth, swore to protect it, and would die fighting for it rather than save his own skin.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: He had vast previous knowledge of some of his enemies
- Brought Down to Badass: In Ultraman Leo, when he lost the ability to transform
- Changing of the Guard: With Gen Ootori in Ultraman Leo and Masaki Kazamori in Ultraseven Evolution.
- Character Aged with the Actor: Kohji Moritsugu has played Dan for over fifty years.
- Doppelgänger: Jiro Satsuma, whom he identifies as a clone. Dan impersonates Masaki Kazamori in the video specials.
- Good-Looking Privates: Played by a former male model, no less.
- Henshin Hero: The second one from Tsuburaya
- The Hero: Main character
- Heroic RRoD: He suffered injury after injury in giant form that eventually affected his human form. His superior warned him not to transform even as Pandon attacked the UG. After he fought Pandon to defeat the first time (and was curb-stomped throughout), he turned back into Dan and collapsed with a head injury, right where the kaijuu had kicked Seven.
- Honor Before Reason: Will keep a promise to be present during a sick child's surgery ("The brave one") and defend Earth ("The world's greatest invasion"), no matter if he's injured or in mortal danger.
- Human Aliens: He was a shape-shifting alien who adopted a human identity in honor of a brave man he saved.
- Human Outside, Alien Inside: No X-rays please, Anne!
- Love Interest: To Anne.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Jarringly, his personality seems to have become much more harsh in Ultraman Leo, probably due to being unable to transform.
- Manly Tears: After his defeat to the Gillas Brothers and Alien Magma.
- Meaningful Name: Moroboshi = many stars
- Mentor Occupational Hazard: A subversion in Ultraman Leo. He just vanishes instead of dying and goes back to the Land of Light, where he finishes healing his injuries, returning in time as Seven to give Leo one final pep talk before he fights Black Directive's last monster.
- Morton's Fork: From Episode 48: Save yourself and live or save Earth and die. Dan took a third option.
- Nice Guy: In general.
- Non-Human Sidekick: His Capsule Monsters, and Sevengar in Ultraman Leo.
- Official Couple: With Anne, if Super 8 Ultra Brothers and the last episode of Ultraseven X are to be believed.
- Using his telekinetic powers in Ultraman Leo left him severely weakened, no doubt due to the same injuries that left him unable to transform.
- Rock Beats Laser: Leg-twisting twin kaijuu beat hero's Eye Slugger in Ultraman Leo
- Running Gag: His Ultra Eye gets stolen often.
- Shapeshifter Mode Lock: The Ultra Eye melted down after the leg injury in his battle vs the Gillas Brothers, so he couldn't transform into giant size again until the trinket was repaired back on M-78.
- Shell-Shocked Veteran: in Ultraman Leo, Dan is defeated by Alien Magma and the Gillas Brothers, which together with his injuries, his inability to transform, and newfound responsibilities (team captain, mentor to Gen), left him with PTSD. In the first episode, as he's talking to Gen about joining MAC, you can see his Thousand-Yard Stare, staring teary eyed into the distance. Later, tensions escalate between Gen and Dan due to Gen's inexperience and Dan's frustration and impatience.
- Say My Name: On the receiving end of this. "DAAAAAAAAN"
- Sixth Ranger: joined the Ultra Garrison last.
- Spell My Name With An S: Dan Moroboshe?
- The Stoic: Usually...
- Not So Stoic: In "Glory For Whom?", "Dark Zone" (look as he's trying to establish radio contact with the aliens), and Ultraman Leo
- Transformation Trinket: The Ultra Eye, a set of red-rimmed clear goggles
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Being an alien, he transformed whenever the need arised.

- A Father to His Men: Like Muramatsu before him, Kiriyama certainly plays this role.
- Patriotic Fervour: Took the death of foreign UG member in Japan very hard. He felt he was letting Japan down if he let it go unpunished.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Led from the front.
Soga
Soga
- Portrayed by: Shinsuke Achiha, Marc Denis (TNT dub)
- A Day in the Limelight: "The 0.1 Second Kill"

- Good-Looking Privates: Looked like the typical clean-cut cop or soldier

- Arbitrary Skepticism: In "The Saucers are Coming", complains about Saburo's sighting of flying saucers, dismissing it as a crank call. He, who has seen aliens face-to-face.
- The Big Guy: His first scene was his exercise routine and The Narrator's description of his capabilities.
- BFG: Shoots rounds instead of laser beams. Soga carries a similar weapon.
- Butt-Monkey: Anything can happen to him (possession, injuries, humiliations, etc).

- Expy: Of Arashi. Played by the same actor.
- My Beloved Smother: In "Fly North!", Mrs. Furuhashi pretends to be ill so her son would visit her in Hokkaido and maybe even quit the Ultra Garrison. Upon hearing this, he went back to work. She then drops by for a visit just as he is about to crash his plane with an airliner thanks to the Kanan aliens.
- Plucky Comic Relief: His reactions are priceless.

Amagi

- A Day in the Limelight: "The 700 Kilometer Dash".
- Mission Control: He prefers not to go out on the battlefield and remain in base to plan out strategies.

- Casting Gag: Bin Furuya is perhaps better known to fans for portraying the decidedly more action-oriented title character in Ultraman.

- Secret-Keeper: Found out Dan was Ultraseven at the same time as the UG, and didn't take it well.
