Hiroya Fujimiya

is the deuteragonist in Ultraman Gaia. He's the human host for the power of Ultraman Agul. Later, he appeared as Reiko Yoshii's husband in Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers.
==Personality==
Hiroya was first introduced as an intelligent star student from Alchemy Stars. He started out as a cold, arrogant loner who disliked Gamu, his rival, and Gaia's human host. During his earlier time as Agul's host, Fujimiya was a mysterious figure that appears and disappears seemingly at will. Senuma even described him as a man that "somewhat powerful , but at a glance he looked normal".
Hiroya desired to save the world, but due to the manipulations of the Radical Destruction Bringer and the corrupted super computer Crisis, he came to believe that humankind was a threat to the Earth, ultimately turning him against them. Despite this he could not truly let go of his humanity, and when the truth was revealed he ended his crusade against humanity.
Although he no longer desired to destroy humankind, he still holds some contempt for them and how they have treated their world.
After the final fight between Gaia and Agul, he holds a respect for him and decided to fight beside Gaia as Agul.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Gaia===
Hiroya Fujimiya was born on October 21, 1979. He was one of the child prodigies born in various parts of the world in the 1980s. In 1995, he enrolled at the University of Göttingen in Germany, where he shocked the world by publishing his doctoral thesis, "Absolute Theory in the Relative World and the Theory of Light Quantum," the following year. This thesis propelled him to become a professor in the Department of Mathematical Philosophy at the University of Göttingen and earned him numerous engineering patents and a doctorate degree.
After joining Alchemy Stars, Fujimiya and his team began designing a light quantum computer called "Crisis". This supercomputer had the ability to predict disasters that were about to occur on Earth.
Four years ago, Fujimiya completed "Crisis". However, when it was activated, it concluded that "there will soon be a threat that will bring destruction to the Earth and humanity." Fujimiya and his team attempted to identify the cause of this conclusion but could not determine why Earth and humanity faced destruction.
However, one day, Fujimiya tried to eliminate humanity from the data of Earth's existence and began calculations. As a result, the destruction of Earth was avoided. The reason for Earth's destruction was humanity itself. Fujimiya was puzzled about how to prevent the destruction of Earth and humanity and initiated several other research projects, one of which was controlling monsters to keep them away from densely populated areas, and another was searching for the "will of the Earth" to design a solution to global issues.
As Fujimiya pursued these efforts, the word "AGUL" suddenly appeared on the terminal screen. Then the screen emitted a light, and Fujimiya saw the figure of a blue giant standing in a mysterious place.
After experiencing this event, Fujimiya began seeking answers. Following his departure from Alchemy Stars with another researcher, Kyoko Inamori, the two went to a rented research facility called "Pronon Calamos" to conduct research to confirm the "true will of the Earth." Fujimiya believed that the Earth possesses a "natural healing power" that activates when living organisms become sick, and if the Earth were truly destroyed, this power would also come into play. Fujimiya realized that "if humanity's crisis is its destiny, then the only way out for humanity is to follow the will of the Earth. The power of Agul will guide us there." He believed that if rebirth was to occur, it would be better to eliminate any hindrances. He also considered it selfish for humans to seek help only when they are in danger.
Interpreting Agul's power in this way, Fujimiya began seeking power. One day, a bright light appeared in the observation pool of Pronon Calamos. Despite Inamori's attempts to stop him, Fujimiya seemed to vanish from in front of Inamori after being exposed to the light. This light also bestowed upon him the power of Ultraman Agul.
===Ultraman Gaia===
As the blue Ultra, he attacks monsters but pays no heed to possible human casualties, in one instance Agul transformed Gaia into anti-matter to fight a monster in a special zone and almost refused to convert him back, possibly leaving him stranded in space. 
Soon after his first battle, he learns that Gamu Takayama is Ultraman Gaia, and Gamu learns of his identity. Fujimiya took a passive approach in fighting the monsters and achieving his goal of protecting the earth. After he recharged his power during the fight against Apatee, Fujimiya reminded once again about his goal and ways of protecting the earth. This caused him to take a more aggressive approach, resulting in conflicts with Gamu. Their conflicting beliefs and ideals cause them to clash, once when Agul tried to destroy the Aerial Base of XIG, a non-clash event when Fujimiya awoke Geshenk and insulted Gamu about his effort to protect humans, while they caused underwater pollution, breaking into Geo Base facility to gain data about monsters location to awoke them, and finally when Gamu challenged him to a battle near a coast. Both fights released energy that caused a wormhole, the source of most of the monster and alien attacks, to summon forth a large monster, which would later appear as Zoruim. 
Gamu later reveals to Hiroya that Crisis was infected by the being that sends the monsters through the wormhole and that its predictions were all lies. Knowing that Hiroya would potentially become Agul, it worked to subvert the guardian of the Earth into its unknowing pawn. Upon hearing this and seeing the evidence Hiroya suffered an emotional collapse and gave Gamu his Light of the Sea, upgrading Gaia to Version 2 and giving him Supreme Version. After that, he disappeared for some time.
During his dissapearance, Fujimiya traveled around the world trying to communicate again with earth (also wishing to regain Agul's power). He traveled to numerous islands until he ended up in Soroya Island, Norway. In this island, he entered a cave where he found a cave drawing about human fight and disaster (possibly drawing about human race in past or ancient time). Moreover, he also saw drawing that picturing clashing of red & blue photon beam and the emergence of Zoruim. Irritated by the drawing due to it reminded him of his fight with Gaia, Fujimiya scratched the drawing with his knife. 
After his pilgrimage to Inamori's grave, Fujimiya who still resenting his past life and mistake, tried to do things that he could do as a ordinary human. He hijacked Anti Airspace Laser System, GUARD's new weapon that could increase battle power, by implementing two virus (one dummy that could be easily discovered and one implanted deep within system that he would activate later when he need it). This action alert GUARD and grab attention from KCB and XIG. Gamu and Reiko, who discovered that Fujimiya still alive, decided to approach him to talk again. This time, they could not persuade him as Fujimiya still tries to fight to make amends of his pasts hurting people by fighting with Radical Destruction Bringer with his own power (and also commit suicide). To do this, he activated his virus that he already planted deep within system to hijacked Anti Airspace Laser System. He aimed Aerial Base to provoke Gamu to transform into Ultraman Gaia in order to recreate Gaia and Agul incredible energy clash which would be given off again to the wormhole. 
Gaia fired his Photon Crusher to clash it with the Laser resulted in re-emerge of the wormhole that similar to Zoruim. Fujimiya headed to the wormhole, only to find himself saved by Gamu. Unknown to them, the wormhole also released X-Savarga. Gaia, who outnumbered by numbers of monster's clones, found his energy depleted. Fujimiya, frustated as he no longer had power of Agul, threw away Agulater and fired a bomb to the monster. After Gaia defeated the monster, Fujimiya lamented Gamu for saving him and preventing his plan. Gamu tried to reminded him that it was not the amends everyone want as he still has someone care about him. 
He appeared again when Queen Mezard attack earth. This time, the monster took form of Kyoko Inamori to persuade Fujimiya to fight with his old way (fighting monster regardless human race safety) and promised him power of Agul. This angered Fujimiya as Radical Destruction Bringer once before tried to persuade Fujimiya too by using Inamori image. 
Though disguised Inamori continued to persuade him, Fujimiya, struggling with his own sense as Inamori already dead and pushed to kill Reiko, finally shot the monster disguised as Inamori. Queen Mezard forced to retreat to her hyperspace where she and Gamu fight. Fujimiya run away along with Reiko to brought them to safe from brainwashed people in KCB. After terror of Mezard end, Fujimiya still found himself guilty about the fact that his past way of fighting caused Inamori dead, even re-uniting with the girl that he saved couldn't wipe it out.
Upon discovering that a commander of the GUARD Pan Pacific Division named Hiiragi planned a deployment of Subterranean Penetrating Missiles to hibernating Tigris, Fujimiya tried to sneak into the control room where Hiiragi was stationed, only found himself defeated by one punch from Hiiragi. Even though he was in pain, Fujimiya angrily questioning Hiiragi's action and reminded him of the anguished cries of Tigris. After Tigris eventually succumbed to his injuries and died, Fujimiya told Gaia to take the monster back underground, so that he may rest in peace.
One day, a void portal appeared in the sky, and from it emerged the monster Σ-Zuigul. Gamu transformed into Gaia to confront it, but felt discomfort when trying to block Σ-Zuigul's beams with his arms. The battle ultimately ended with Σ-Zuigul vanishing as if crushed into dust. However, near the battlefield on the coastline, Gaia found Fujimiya standing alone, seemingly lost in thought as he walked into the sea, intending to commit suicide. Gamu reverted to his human form and rushed to the scene to try to stop Fujimiya. Fujimiya was mentally and emotionally drained, deeply regretting his past actions. Gamu engaged in conversation with him, urging him to rediscover his "pride in restoring the fight."
At that moment, Σ-Zuigul reappeared. Gamu urged Fujimiya to escape quickly, attempting to transform into Gaia. However, a mysterious silver mechanism was stuck to the back of his hand, where he had been attacked earlier. Additionally, the transformation device, the "Espreader," was covered by the mechanism, preventing Gamu from transforming and trapping him within a capsule with a cross-shaped pattern around his body.
This capsule fused with the core of Σ-Zuigul, and XIG discovered Gamu trapped inside, making it difficult to attack. Fujimiya then suffered an attack from Σ-Zuigul and lost consciousness on the spot. Unconscious, Fujimiya saw images of those who supported him and those he had protected floating in his mind, hearing the voices of Gamu, Reiko, and Inoue calling his name. He woke up again after hearing Gamu's words to "regain pride in the fight."
As Fujimiya stood up, a massive tsunami occurred, and from it emerged the light of the ocean. Fujimiya grabbed that light, successfully transforming into Ultraman Agul V2. Agul then began the battle, ultimately saving Gamu and defeating Σ-Zuigul with his finishing move, the Photon Screw. 
Saving Gamu, he fights with him to protect the Earth until the entity known as Zog attacks the Earth directly. Though they were both temporarily defeated, the two restored their powers and defeated the cosmic monster, saving their world.

==Counterparts==
===Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers===
In this film, Fujimiya appears as Gamu's friend and a scientist, having previously researched anti-gravity theory with Gamu. He is also married to Reiko and has children.
After Gamu left academia, Fujimiya continued his research successfully and eventually became an authority in the field of physics. During a television interview, he expressed, "My research achievements were completed with the help of my friend (Gamu)," indicating that he had not forgotten his friendship with Gamu.
Following the resolution of the monster incident in Yokohama, he and Gamu, who had returned to the scientific community, together completed a spacecraft equipped with an anti-gravity system, earning them the Nobel Prize. Years later, he and Reiko attended the launch ceremony of the Japanese Maru spacecraft, bidding farewell to Gamu and Atsuko, who were about to embark on a journey to explore Nebula M78. 
==Transformation==
Agulater: Fujimiya built this device to use the Agul force. To transform, he would stretch his right arm downwards and the Agulater opens. He then brings his arm up and the Agulater flips and transforms him into Agul via a bright stream of azure light.

==Powers and Weapons==
*Intelligence: Hiroya is one of the first members of the Alchemy Stars, a group of young geniuses who created all the technology used by XIG. Fujimiya himself also created systems, to control monsters in order to lure them away from cities, and the computer Crisis before it was infected by Zogu's villainy.
*Agulater: Using a device of his own creation Fujimiya can summon the Agul force to transform into Ultraman Agul.
**Agul Force: Fujimiya used the power from his Agulater to give it to Gamu by transferring it to Esplender. Only shown in episode 26.
*Ultra Powers: Unlike Gamu, who never demonstrated the ability, Fujimiya could manifest the powers of Agul in human form. Usually, this meant powering something with a beam from the Agulater, or superhuman abilities such as speed and strength, such as when he took out the guards of Geo Base.
