==Conception==
===Etymology===
His surname, Hebikura, is a pun of "Juggler", due to the kanji for can also be pronounced as "Ja" in Go-onyomi, resulting to "Jyakura". In-series, this was one of the many subtle foreshadowing to "Hebikura" being Juggler in disguise. The Kanji for Hebi is also the Japanese for "snake", as Juggler is frequently associated with the serpents as his motif and is a practitioner of Jashin (Serpent-Hearted) Style swordsmanship.

According to a few co-workers, the real Shota Hebikura is said to be quiet, antisocial and introverted person.
==History==
===Life-Threatening Decision Height ―The Story of STORAGE's Founding―===
Shota Hebikura was one of the many volunteers in GAFJ to sign up in Kuriyama's team of SAA testers, a team that was the predecessor to STORAGE. Hebikura became one of the many test pilots of the prototypes for SAA units created by his team leader Kojiro Inaba.
In August 2013, Hebikura was the test pilot of a SAA prototype for the landing practice. A malfunction in the mecha caused him to crash and getting trapped in the resulting fire that claimed his life, observing Juggler's figure before he succumbed to his injuries. Juggler buried Hebikura's remains elsewhere, taking the latter's cloth and allowed himself to be burnt in the wreckage. After recovering, Juggler took on Hebikura's identity and passed off his facial differences as a result of a reconstructive surgery from the fire.
===Ultraman Z===
Juggler continued to play the charade as Hebikura for several years and eventually elevated to the rank of STORAGE's captain. He abandoned the identity once Celebro started its endgame on Earth and finally quitting STORAGE as a whole after Destrudos' destruction.
