Kouichi Imazato

is a minor character in Ultraman Taiga. He is the President of Cozmo Technica.
==Personality==
Imazato is known for his notably self-centered and arrogant personality. In public settings such as the media, he often displays an extremely casual attitude and frequently engages in attention-seeking behaviors.
Despite the fact that the company is involved in projects related to technology and resources, Imazato's excessive self-assurance, high-profile demeanor, and arrogance have not garnered unanimous approval. His outward attitude has also sparked concerns and criticism from the public to some extent.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Taiga===
Imazato is the founder and president of "Cozmo Technica," focusing on the field of space development. According to information from the company's direct mail, he envisions "revolution" as the company's goal, using the French Revolution as a metaphor. He firmly believes that the current world has fallen into a state of decay. As a response, he sees continuous innovation as the key to breaking the status quo and as the fundamental aspiration of the company's growth.
Under his leadership, Cozmo Technica provides support to various countries through technological collaboration. This includes efforts to foster talent in developing nations, establish corresponding systems, offer expert dispatch, equipment supply, and domestic and international training services. In times of large-scale disasters, the company also actively provides essential supplies such as blankets, tents, and medications. Additionally, the company conducts product development through crowdfunding, resulting in products like wireless headphones, light bulbs that automatically illuminate using sensors and turn off when unattended, and cutting-edge virtual reality devices that utilize smell and taste.
The company's future plans encompass space development, including establishing bases on the Moon and Mars, as well as the construction of an orbital elevator, with the goal of enabling "walking" into space.
One month ago, Imazato launched a rocket into space to celebrate his own birthday, which garnered widespread attention. However, the majority of public opinion online criticized him for exacerbating the issue of space debris in his space activities.
Unexpectedly, the rocket collided with the "Full Moon" space station in Earth's orbit, resulting in the unfortunate deaths of the Kujo couple who were aboard the space station.

The explosion incident of the space station in the cosmos was exposed, and the news immediately garnered widespread attention. Ultraman Tregear manipulated and used the body of Rento Kujo, bringing him back to Earth for seeking revenge against Imazato. The video of Rento's threat swiftly became a media focal point. Following the murder threat from Rento, Imazato engaged EGIS and requested their protection. Despite Hiroyuki's skepticism about "protecting the perpetrator," the enticing reward of 10 million yen as an advance payment intrigued Kana and led the team to accept the mission.
During their encounter with Imazato, Hiroki and Homare couldn't help but feel his high-pressure attitude. When Rento appeared in person and attempted to attack Imazato, he even used Homare as a shield, unhesitatingly placing him in front, seemingly not allowing anyone to touch him. 
When Galactron MK2 began to wreak havoc on the city, the spirit of Nana Kujo appeared and intervened to halt Rento's hatred and destruction. Following some persuasion, the lingering souls of the Kujo couple were finally able to return to the cosmos in a state of tranquility.
Despite Imazato managing to escape the situation in the end, he appears to have shown no signs of reflecting on the reasons behind the events. On the contrary, he put forth some controversial and disrespectful suggestions, such as "trying to send the Kujo couple's monument with a rocket." This kind of statement ignited a strong anger in Homare, leading to him immediately knocking Imazato unconscious on the spot.
Afterward, Kana privately exhibited a clear disdain for Imazato's character. She ultimately relinquished the substantial 10 million yen deposit and tore up the check provided by Imazato, discarding it into the trash.
