Tetsuji Yoshioka

is one of the supporting characters of Ultraman Tiga, he's the chief of the TPC Police Department.
==Personality==
As a tough and conservative personality, Yoshioka is a representative figure among the top TPC officials who adopts aggressive tactics or military expansion. He strictly adheres to his own code of conduct and does not endorse unreasonable behavior. He often proposes to expand armaments and take the initiative to attack monsters to other TPC representatives, aiming to protect the Earth and human beings. As a result, he has clashed with Nahara several times during meetings due to their differing proposals.
As a result, he and Sawai, who advocated for peace, had been viewed as rivals and had been in opposition to each other on the issue of the Police Department's armament for 20 years. However, in reality, they were trusted friends, and through long conversations and communication, they balanced each other out and held great respect and trust for one another. Yoshioka learned to view the situation with a high level of insight as a result.
In private, he liked to carry and use a traditional Japanese folding fan to keep cool.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Tiga===
In the past, Yoshioka was a member of the Defense Forces and served as a sailor on a submarine during his service, which gave him the ability to pilot other submarines. This skill later led to his development of the Dolphar 202.
Later, he was selected as the Japanese representative for the UNDF and served as an admiral for the organization. However, with Sawai's intervention, he joined the TPC and became the head of the Police Department.
===Ultraman Tiga===
Initially, he believed that Ultraman Tiga's existence was a major obstacle to Earth's defense and did not trust Tiga. He believed that even in a time of peace, there was still a possibility of sudden war from other countries. However, after witnessing Tiga's battles, he gradually began to recognize and affirm the giant's abilities.
In the event where Desimonia kidnapped world leaders, Yoshioka utilized his experience as a former submarine sailor and piloted the Dolphar 202 with Daigo to the Cliomos Islands to rescue Sawai and other trapped individuals.
During the Gatanothor incident, when the darkness of Gatanothor reached the base, Yoshioka had planned to stay and sink with the base. However, he was ordered by Sawai to evacuate and was called a foolish man who should not give up his life. Yoshioka then watched the battle between Tiga and Gatanothor, and ultimately witnessed Tiga's defeat. It was only after hearing from Rena that Daigo was Tiga that he learned the truth. Later, he participated in the campaign to revive Tiga by using the light gene converter to transfer light to Daigo.
After Gatanothor's death, he celebrated the TPC's victory with his allies.
===Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey===
Two years after the Gatanothor incident, when he learned that Captain Iruma and the investigation team had lost contact on R'lyeh, he participated as a representative in the TPC meeting to discuss the R'lyeh incident. He sent future Super GUTS members as reinforcements to assist GUTS. 
===Ultraman Dyna===
Although he did not appear in the series, with TPC undergoing organizational restructuring and expanding its management globally, Yoshioka's position as Police Department chief was abolished. Eventually, he was assigned to serve as an advisor to the South American and African branches, which were not yet ready for combat operations.
