==History==
===Ultraman 80===
When Hakase first appeared, he and the other students were first-year students in Class 1-E, receiving instruction from their new teacher, Takeshi. However, because Takeshi often displayed careless, innocent, and eccentric behavior, the students were skeptical of him.
In addition, a classmate of Hakase's, Tsukamoto, refused to attend school because his friend had been accepted to a private high school. Takeshi promised to bring him back to school. Hakase and others suggested using Takeshi's position as a bet. If Takeshi was late or failed to keep his promise again, he would have to leave the school.
Later, when Tsukamoto mustered the courage to return to school, he protected Takeshi, who had protected him before, by stopping other students from entering the classroom. When they learned of Takeshi's fearless sacrifice to save Tsukamoto, the students' attitudes changed. They ultimately voluntarily wished that Takeshi would not resign and stay at the school.
As the series progressed, Hakase and the other three students discovered that teacher Aihara had feelings for Takeshi and they tried hard to facilitate a relationship between them. Due to the appearance of Gabishale, Takeshi ended up standing them up. Nevertheless, the four students did not give up.
When Takeshi became depressed, Hakase told him, "You can't make a girl cry." Later, when Aihara went on a matchmaking date, Hakase attempted to sabotage the date by crying and calling Aihara "mom" in front of her date. However, he quickly admitted that he was only 13 years old and his lie was exposed.
During one school day, as Hakase was preparing to leave school, he suddenly noticed a letter in his shoe cabinet. He was excited and thought it was a love letter for him, but it turned out to be a prank from the girls in his class. However, when he showed up for the date, he met a girl named Millie Aoyama, who was eager to interact with him. They had a great time playing in the park, swinging on the swings, and running around the city hand in hand. They had a lot of fun together, and also managed to spoil the girls' prank.
The next morning, Millie appeared in the classroom as a new transfer student and continued to interact actively with Hakase. However, Millie was not an ordinary transfer student. In fact, she was an intelligence agent from the Planet Vibros, dispatched to the Earth front base to defeat Ultraman 80 and control Gora, brought from Planet Vibros. To complete her mission, Millie had to disguise herself as an ordinary person and blend into Earth society.
A few hours before Gora hatched, Hakase had planned to take a cram school exam. However, he skipped class after being invited by Millie to go on a date at Asanoyama. During this time, Millie gradually fell in love with Hakase and requested to stop the attack on Earth from her superiors but was refused.
In the end, after Gora was defeated by Ultraman 80, Millie disappeared. Hakase listened to Millie's farewell message alone at the harbor and showed feelings of loss and sadness. He was extremely disappointed by Millie's departure, but Takeshi encouraged him, saying that they would "meet again someday."
As more and more monsters appeared, Takeshi's mission as a member of UGM became increasingly important. He eventually had to devote all his time and energy to the fight and resigned from his teaching job. As a result, Hakase did not appear in the subsequent series.
===Ultraman Mebius===
After Ultraman 80 left Earth for 26 years, Minus Energy resurfaced, putting Earth in danger once again. Hakase, who is now an adult and a university researcher, has always had feelings of nostalgia and gratitude towards his youth and experiences interacting with Takeshi.
When he learned that Sakuragaoka Middle School would also merge with other schools and be closed due to a decline in the birthrate, and the school building would soon be demolished, Hakase received an invitation to participate in a reunion and met with other classmates from Class 1-E to reminisce about the past.
When Ultraman 80 successfully defeated Hoe in battle and attempted to leave Earth, Hakase and other students tried their best to shout out their current situations to 80 and created a banner together that said "Thank you for the memories, Teacher Takeshi" to express their gratitude towards him.
After the students sang "Aogeba Tōtoshi," Ultraman 80 unexpectedly attended the alumni association as Takeshi and spent a brief time with his former students.
