Shinichi Nakano

is a student of Sakuragaoka Middle School in Ultraman 80.
==Personality==
Initially, Shinichi exhibited intense possessiveness and jealousy, even resorting to violent behavior without hesitation. Deeply engulfed in the emotions of unrequited love, he felt resentful and consequently closed off his heart. These negative emotions gradually accumulated, turning him into an immensely powerful source of negativity.
Through personal growth and life experiences, Shinichi's character has become more cheerful and playful. He no longer feels disheartened and saddened by many things as he did in the past.
==History==
===Ultraman 80===
During an incident, Shinichi developed feelings for a girl named Midori, who fell in love with another student named Shibata. This led to resentment and jealousy towards Shibata, as Shinichi felt inferior in terms of ability and talent. 
However, when this negative emotion was detected by Minus Energy, it emitted a ray that caused Shinichi to fall into a coma. While unconscious, Shinichi desired to become a monster for the purpose of seeking revenge. As a result, the deep-seated grudges buried within his heart transformed into a creature called "Hoe" under the influence of negative energy, breaking free from Shinichi's control and becoming a destructive demon fueled by hatred, wreaking havoc in the city.
Upon learning the truth, Takeshi hastily made his way to Shinichi's house, waking him up from his comatose state and allowing him to witness firsthand the devastation caused by Hoe in the city. Takeshi said to Shinichi, "If love makes us desire to be loved and feel anger when not loved, is true love really so insignificant?" This statement plunged Shinichi into an inner turmoil, particularly as Hoe began heading towards Midori's home, causing destruction.
Eventually, the monster, separated from Shinichi's consciousness, went on a rampage and was defeated by Ultraman 80, simultaneously purging the negative energy from Shinichi's heart. As Takeshi encouraged Shinichi to keep moving forward, Shinichi managed to rescue Midori from the rubble.
Although Midori did not ultimately reciprocate Shinichi's love, he learned to let go and move forward with a newfound maturity and mindset. 
===Ultraman Mebius===
After Ultraman 80 left Earth for 26 years, Minus Energy reemerged, posing a renewed threat to the planet. Shinichi, now an adult and married to a young woman, still holds onto his memories of youth and his encounters with Takeshi, feeling a sense of nostalgia and gratitude.
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, Shinichi received an invitation to participate in a reunion and met with other classmates from Class 1-E to reminisce about the past. However, due to the students' longing for Takeshi's power, the negative energy generated within the school building once again manifested as Hoe. When questioned by his classmates, Shinichi denied summoning Hoe himself.
When Ultraman 80 successfully defeated Hoe in battle and attempted to leave Earth, Tsukamoto 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.
