Description:

Fancy and romance. And friendship. A must-see human drama interwoven with the characters played by a splendid cast! The drama woven by the members of the "Disastrous Beast Special Countermeasures Office," a.k.a. "Disastrous Special Countermeasures," and the other characters played by the splendid cast, is not to be missed. Takumi Saito plays the role of Shinji Kaminaga, the man who becomes Ultraman and is in charge of planning operations. His exquisite performance will charm you with the changes in his interactions with the members of the Disaster Special Forces after he merges with Ultraman. Masami Nagasawa plays Hiroko Asami, an analyst who is a buddy of Kaminaga. She plays an important role in the film as Hiroko Asami, an analyst who is often alone and has trouble communicating with Kaminaga, but they eventually begin to trust each other. Akihisa Taki, a non-particle physicist, is played by Hiroki Arioka, and Akari Hayami plays Yumi Funanori, a general-purpose biologist. Both are academics and specialists who propose countermeasures to the situation from the perspective of their own fields of expertise, so they have to speak in scientific jargon and understand not only the words but also their meanings before filming.Hidetoshi Nishijima plays the role of Kimio Tamura, the leader of the team who organizes the members. He convincingly plays the role of Tamura, the spiritual pillar of the Kakizaki Special Forces, who skillfully incorporates the suggestions of his colleagues and calmly makes decisions under any circumstances, with his steady acting ability. Tetsushi Tanaka as Tatsuhiko Munakata, who negotiates with outside organizations as the head of the office, radiates a realistic presence through his behavior and dialogue. Koshi Yamamoto plays the role of Mephilus, an alien No. 0 who has advanced knowledge and technical skills and negotiates with the Japanese government and Ultraman. His unique way of speaking has become a topic of conversation on social networking sites and has left a strong impact. In addition, Kenjiro Tsuda plays the role of Zarab, the second alien who plans to eliminate Ultraman, giving the creepy and cunning Zarab an even more unsettling character. The cast also includes acting talents and personalities such as Ryo Iwamatsu, Kyusaku Shimada, Toru Masuoka, Keishi Nagatsuka, Hajime Yamazaki, and Sohkoh Wada! A blockbuster entertainment blockbuster from the powerful tag team of Hideaki Anno (Planning/Screenplay) and Shinji Higuchi (Director)!
