==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Ginga S===
Arisa's father, a police officer, had a profound impact on her upbringing. From a young age, she was exposed to shooting skills under her father's influence. These skills eventually caught the attention of Koyama when Arisa became a member of an International Defense Organization, due to her exceptional shooting abilities.
Due to Arisa's outstanding performance, she was selected as one of the founding members of the UPG. This promotion instilled in her a sense of appreciation and deep gratitude towards her superiors, further fueling her confidence in her mission capabilities.
===Ultraman Ginga S===
Arisa made her first appearance near the UPG Live Base while One Zero was secretly conducting Victorium excavation work. The excavation activities resulted in Shepherdon emerging from the ground. Upon receiving orders, Arisa and Gouki rushed to the scene to evacuate workers and engage Shepherdon in gunfire, but their efforts proved ineffective. At that moment, they coincidentally encountered Hikaru Raido who happened to be passing by. Witnessing Hikaru's attempt to divert the monster's attention by piloting the UPG-EV1 Schnauzer left a deep impression on Arisa.
However, when they attempted to shoot Shepherdon again, they faced a counterattack and were caught in the explosion, leading to their first encounter with Sho. After Sho and Hikaru left the scene, the Captain Jinno ordered Arisa and Gouki to track down Hikaru's whereabouts. During their subsequent investigation, they discovered new Victorium in the G7 area.
While EX Red King battled against Ultraman Victory, Arisa and Gouki arrived at the scene to provide support and engage in gunfire. However, they were caught in the crossfire and fell into a coma after being accidentally struck by debris. Fortunately, they were successfully rescued by Ultraman Ginga, who had transformed from Hikaru. Upon regaining consciousness, they witnessed the initial clash between Ginga and Victory, leaving them with a deep impression of the existence of the two Ultras.
Subsequently, they brought Hikaru to the UPG Live Base along the way. After Hikaru agreed to become a new member of UPG, Arisa took on the role of his senior and guided him on missions.
During their usual missions, Arisa often became angry at Hikaru's sudden disappearances and solo actions. Additionally, due to her exceptional beauty, she frequently became the target of Gouki's teasing, leading her to respond with anger and teach him a lesson using her formidable martial arts skills.
When Koyama and other high-ranking officials from the International Defense Organization took over the management of UPG Live Base, Arisa due to her crucial role in the operation of the Victorium Cannon, remained the only UPG member who was not dismissed. She assumed the position of the shooter for the Victorium Cannon. Under pressure from Koyama, she was forced to fire the Victory Cannon at Vorst, successfully eliminating the adversary but causing significant destruction to the surrounding landscape.
As she personally triggered the Victorium Cannon, Arisa deeply felt the overwhelming power emanating from the weapon, plunging her into a state of extreme hesitation and fear. When Koyama, in order to protect the UPG base, once again ordered her to fire at Hyper Zetton, including Ginga, she opposed Koyama's command and expressed, "It is wrong to pursue peace at the expense of sacrificing others." However, her act of defiance resulted in her being held hostage by Koyama. But at that moment, Captain Jinno and the UPG team seized the opportunity to counterattack, rescuing her and the imprisoned Sho, This allowed Arisa to return to the UPG team under Captain Jinno's leadership.
During the battle, when Dark Lugiel was revived by Exceller's absorption of Victorium energy and merged with the out-of-control Victorium Cannon and UPG Live Base to become Vict Lugiel, Arisa was saved by Mana, and together with the UPG members, they discovered the true identities of Hikaru and Sho as Ginga and Victory.
In the final showdown against Vict Lugiel, Arisa, along with the other UPG members and Victorians, defeated the Dark Lugiel Rangers in the shelter. After Vict Lugiel was defeated by the two Ultras, she pledged to Koyama that she would rebuild a better city. In the end, she actively participated in the reconstruction project alongside the UPG team.
===Ultraman Ginga S The Movie: Showdown! The 10 Ultra Warriors!===
One year later, Arisa and the other team members warmly welcomed Hikaru's return from abroad. However, a mysterious Space Time Castle appeared in the sky above the Earth. Etelgar and the memory-controlled Arena attacked the UPG base, boasting to the UPG members who came to investigate that they would use their magic mirrors to seal away all the Ultras.
UPG found themselves in a grueling battle against an unprecedented enemy. However, with the assistance of Musashi Haruno and Ultraman Zero from another universe, UPG officially developed a battle plan. Arisa and her team embarked on a mission to rescue the trapped Ultras in the Space Time Castle. However, they were ensnared in an illusionary space by Etelgar's Fear Ray, where they could only witness their deepest fears. However, guided by Hikaru's guidance, Arisa and the others made the decision to confront and overcome their inner fears, witnessing the liberation of the seven Ultras and the emergence of Ultraman Gingavictory.
After defeating Etrugal, Arisa and her team bid farewell to Musashi and Arena, and in the end, warmly welcomed Sho as the newest member of UPG.
===Ultraman X===
Arisa reappeared again in Ultraman X episodes 13-14.
She was first seen calling for backup during a battle between Victory and Mold Spectre, but was sucked into a dimensional portal opened up by Mold. After waking up in Ultraman X's universe, she found the Victory Lancer beside her and began to find her way through a dense forest. Members of Xio, whom were tracking for the mysterious energy emitted by the portal, found her and questioned her about her origin. Arisa explained that she is from another universe and was searching for Sho.
While Arisa and Asuna were walking out of the forest, they stumbled upon Alien Shaplay and Alien Magma, both in the Gua Army. The two female members began to retaliate against the aliens, but were at a loss. Alien Magma decided to join his master in combating Ultraman X and left Alien Shaplay to deal with the two humans. Sho and two members of Xio arrived to backup their teammates. Arisa returned the Victory Lancer to Sho, and he shot a EX Red King bullet at Mold for X for X to retreat.
During Mecha Gomora's rampage, Arisa and Asuna teamed up once again. The two used Cyber Gomora to stop Mecha Gomora. Then used a combination of the Cyber Ultra Oscillation Wave and a blast from the Ultlaser to finish off the mechanical monster. 
After the final battle Arisa, Sho, and Hikaru thanked Xio for their hospitality and headed for their own universe through Ultraman X's dimensional portal.
