Every Thursday at 5 PM we unveil the latest details about the new TV series Ultraman Trigger, premiering on Ultraman Day, July 10th, on the TV Tokyo Network in Japan.   Today we are thrilled to announce the return of a familiar face to the series: Haruki is back! Actor Kohshu Hirano will be making a special guest appearance reprising his leading role as hero Haruki Natsukawa, who transforms into Ultraman Z (Zett), from the previous Ultraman Z series.   The world is thrown into turmoil when Earth is invaded by the evil parasite creature Celebro. This villain relishes manipulating the inhabitants of the host planet into exterminating themselves in a cruel game it calls the “Civilization Self-Destruction Game”.   To save mankind from the evil parasite creature Celebro and the “Civilization Self-Destruction Game” the villain relishes playing, Haruki Natsukawa bravely fought in the Special Airborne Armors alongside his teammates in STORAGE and Ultraman Z who he merged with. After the fight on Earth was over, Haruki went on a journey with Ultraman Z to the outer reaches of the cosmos.   Haruki and Z will return once again to the world of Ultraman Trigger! For these special cameo episodes, Kiyotaka Taguchi, the Main Director of the Ultraman Z, will once again take the director’s chair. Tune in to see what kind of new chapter Kengo and Haruki, or Trigger and Z, will forge in the Ultraman series!     ■ Cast: Kohshu Hirano <Agency> Sun Music Brain <Actor’s Profile> [Agency Official Website] http://www.sunmusic-brain.jp/profile.php?id=276     <Comment from Kohshu Hirano> Hello, everyone! I am Kohshu Hirano, and I am once again playing Haruki Natsukawa. My first day back on set, the crew greeted me with a warm, “Welcome home!” Without missing a step, I replied, “It’s good to be home!” I am delighted to return to the set, which has really become like a second home for me. I hope that everyone watching the show is just as delighted as I was making it.   Now, Haruki is back and with some experience under his belt, I can’t wait to see how he’ll evolve as a character in the series. In true Haruki fashion, I hope that Z and I can bring some extra fire to Ultraman Trigger. Join me to crank up the heat on Saturday mornings and “Chant My Name”!     <Official Social Media> Twitter: https://twitter.com/kohshu_hirano Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hirano_kohshu/
