Tsuburaya Productions continues to expand the Ultraman Omega world with exciting updates on-screen and at the tabletop. This week, a brand-new character has been introduced, alongside the debut of its two kaiju companions, and there’s major news for the Ultraman Card Game.
Here’s a full breakdown of everything revealed so far:
A New Face Joins the Cast: Kosei Hoshimi
Kosei Hoshimi, portrayed by young actor Haruto Yoshida, is the latest character to join the Ultraman Omega roster. An Earthling who encounters the alien Omega (Sorato), Kosei is a kind-hearted part-time live-in warehouse caretaker who’s uncertain about his future. After befriending the amnesiac Sorato, Kosei becomes inspired by Omega’s genuine curiosity and concern for Earth, ultimately deciding to support him.
Not only does Kosei give Sorato his Earth name, but he also gains the ability to control Omega’s kaiju allies known as the “Meteokaiju”. As they face numerous challenges together, the friendship between the Earthling and alien deepens, making Koesei a central figure in the story.
Haruto Yoshida as Kosei Hoshimi
Represented by BOOSTER ENTERTAINMENT, Haruto Yoshida has acted since childhood. He gained attention through roles in dramas, movies, and stage productions. With dreams of performing on a global stage, on social media, he expressed great enthusiasm for joining Ultraman Omega:
“I entered this world with the dream of becoming a hero as an actor, so I am very happy to be able to be involved in the Ultraman series, which has been loved throughout the ages and which I have been watching since I was a child.
We put our heart and soul into this work, which is loved by people all over the world, so that we could convey its message to everyone and make it memorable!
Let’s work together to make “Ultraman Omega” a success over the next six months! Please continue to support us!
The show will be broadcast on Saturday, July 5th, from 9 am on six TV Tokyo network stations.”
In a formal comment, he further elaborated:
“Hello everyone. My name is Haruto Yoshida and I will play the role of Kosei Hoshimi. I am delighted to follow in the footsteps of those who came before me to continue the history of Ultraman as a member of the latest addition to this series that is loved all over the world. I gave my all for this role so I hope that seeing Kosei grow as he fights alongside Sorato and the Meteokaiju, borrowing their power, will impress this series’ important message on everyone’s hearts. Let’s show the world our excitement for Ultraman Omega together!”
The Meteokaiju
Kosei’s storyline introduces a new kaiju partnership mechanic to the Ultraman universe. The Meteokaiju exist in a dormant figurine, aka sleep mode. When Kosei’s will to fight awakens, they transform into their full-sized “Kaiju Mode” to assist Ultraman Omega in battle. This is almost similar to Rei from Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legends The Movie.
Rekiness
The first Meteokaiju revealed, Rekiness, possesses psychokinetic powers capable of levitating and halting objects. Gentle and loyal, Rekiness quickly becomes attached to Kosei.
Trigaron
The second Meteokaiju, Trigaron, is a powerhouse known for its remarkable speed and strength. Its aggressive personality is reflected in its aggressive combat style.
