The KSCT

The KSCT, short for “Kaiju Special Countermeasure Team,” was formed to protect the public from the ever-increasing kaiju appearances. It is made up of a small group of elite members, with headquarters in the Ministry of Disaster Defense. With nine teams stationed across Japan, its wide range of activities includes investigating and researching kaiju, planning countermeasures for kaiju appearances, and coordinating with the NDF for response strategies.

KSCT members travel in the NDF’s Light VTOL passenger drone when flying to the scene and use the K-Monitor, a portable kaiju detector, for kaiju research. This device uses a network of underground lasers, thermography, and vital sensors to scan for signs of kaiju vitals such as body temperature, breathing, and vibrations, and pinpoints their location by linking with observation equipment. By attaching special cartridges, the K-Monitor can also be used as a stun gun or a beacon gun to track kaiju’s location.

Sayuki Uta

A genius scientist who leads her own special operations team called “Unit Uta” that is separate from the other nine KSCT teams. She is in charge of collecting all information and data on kaiju. She holds PhD degrees in both biology and engineering and Ayumu looks up to her as a mentor. After graduating at the top of her class from a prestigious foreign university, she returned to her home country of Japan to assist in kaiju disaster relief efforts and joined the KSCT as an advisor while continuing her scientific research. With no interest in status or fame, she only does things she wants to and only cares whether it will be interesting or boring, with no concern for profit. Her belief is that the best way to live is by having fun while helping others.

Out of 36,000 hopefuls, she passed an audition while still in high school and made her acting debut in a 1992 film. Leveraging her language skills honed at an American school, she has been involved in numerous international productions, including a lead role in a Jackie Chan film. In 2014, she became familiar to fans of the Ultraman series through her role as Queen Kisara of the underground Victorian civilization in Ultraman Ginga S. Full of vitality, since 2020, she has carried on her late father Kansai Yamamoto’s legacy by also becoming a fashion producer.

Comment from Mirai Yamamoto
While I was surprised at the possibility of returning to the Ultraman series for a different role, I am incredibly honored for the opportunity. Last time I played the queen of an underground civilization, so being offered a role as a human scientist intrigued me. Sayuki Uta isn’t interested in honor and bases her ideals on whether something is interesting or boring, doing only what she wants to. She believes that the best thing is being able to have fun while helping others.
I usually play cool or complex characters, but this time I’m playing a scientist of rare genius who is part of the Kaiju Special-Countermeasure Team! I did my best to go beyond those traits and play her as a bright and outgoing character that will bring cheer to children and families in their living rooms in the morning.
I hope you’ll enjoy watching this hilarious and unpredictable character who throws the main characters into the eye of the storm every week.
