Junkichi Ito

is one of the main characters of Ultraman 80. He is the chief of UGM transferred from the Paris branch to the Japanese Far East branch, and is the junior of Kazuki Oyama.
==Personality==
Ito has a strong sense of responsibility and a strict attitude, but compared to Dashan, he has a more friendly personality and occasionally shows a funny or confused side.
==History==
===Ultraman 80===
When he was a trainee in the UNDA in the past, he used to hunt down the aliens who participated in the Earth invasion plan by himself, so he was promoted by the headquarters to become the chief director of the European region.
To track Zarudon, Ito learned the fighter teleportation technique before being transferred to the Japanese branch as director, but it was also because of this technique that he was initially mistaken for an alien. After Zarudon was defeated, he was welcomed by the team. 
To find monsters, he once went to the island where his fiancee Sawako Hoshi lived on a mission. He and Sawako found the cave where Gymaira was located. He was hit by Gymaira's monsterized light, causing the cells in his body to mutate and become Lavras. Even though he turned into a monster, Lavras still retains the consciousness of being Ito. 
Later, in the battle with 80, Lavras finally got rid of Gymaira's control by relying on tenacious mental strength, launching an attack on Daron, and protecting 80. When Lavras died, Sawako sacrificed herself to keep Ito alive, giving her life force to him, which made Ito successfully resurrect. 
In the series finale, he and all UGM members throw a farewell party for Takeshi and Ryoko. Like Oyama, he also learned early on that 80 was Takeshi's identity.
