Musashi Haruno

is the main protagonist of Ultraman Cosmos. Before his mother remarried, his name was .
==Personality==
Musashi is known for his pacifistic personality as he never wants to solve things in an aggressive way. However, this also leads him to protest against Team EYES and the JADF when such aggressive actions are ordered. This also lead some Team EYES members to suspect him as Ultraman Cosmos due to his gentle and caring nature. During the final fight against Chaos Header, Musashi finally defeats the evil entity by purifying him, something which even Ultraman Cosmos never thought to do.
==History==
===Ultraman Cosmos: The First Contact===
====Meeting with Cosmos====
Musashi Haruno was a fifth grader who dreamed of becoming an astronaut to honor his late father, , who died in a rocket accident in 1993. One night he met Cosmos after his battle with Basical, and revived him using sunlight. Cosmos then left him a blue gem which gave Musashi the ability to summon the power of the hero.
====Battle Against Basical====
During Basical's raid on the city, Musashi tried to summon the hero but he couldn't. He was forced to watch as the alien invader destroyed everything in his path.
Later on, after Basical was awoken by Shark's Jets, Musashi managed to summon the blue and silver gentle hero. Cosmos then fought Basical and both of them were evenly matched until Baltan morphed into his second form: "Neo Baltan." He was overwhelmed until he transformed into Corona Mode and gained the upper hand, managing to overpower the alien invader. The hero then used the Naybuster Beam and managed to knock the alien down. The alien realized what he had done as he just wanted to let his offspring to live on. It failed and he killed himself in grief. Just before he died, Cosmos turned back into Luna Mode and used the Luna Extract on the alien invader as his body was recovered by the Child Baltans. The military tried to kill Cosmos with their missiles, but was stopped by Musashi and his father. After finishing his battle against Basical, Cosmos left Musashi as the Earth was safe once again. 
===Ultraman Cosmos===
====Joining forces with Cosmos====
Musashi now 19 years old, joins a wing of SRC known as Team EYES. He goes to Kaburaya Islands to see Lidorias. As he saw that Lidorias was infected by an evil energy that were revealed to be Chaos Organisms, he goes to chase Lidorias that appeared in the city and Cosmos returned once again, joining forces with Musashi. Musashi himself transformed into Ultraman Cosmos and fought with Chaos Lidorias and managed to calm her down using the Luna Extract. Both Musashi and Cosmos later would face countless memorable monsters such as Golmede, Spittle, Igomas, Chaos Bug, Mogrudon, Mienin, Gamoran and many more.
Much more tough opponents appeared when the Chaos Organism unleashed the Chaos Headers such as Iblis and Mebut to face him. Unable to face the Chaos Organism with Luna and Corona Modes, Cosmos with some help from Musashi and his friends, was able to awaken his third transformation: Eclipse Mode that achieved when Cosmos gained Courage and he used 3 of his forms to face more dangerous monsters.
====Final Battle against the Chaos Header====
After being separated from Cosmos, Musashi was rendered useless to fight Chaos Header, who had turned out to survive being hit with the Chaos Chimera and had begun terrorizing Earth as Chaos Darkness. Musashi bravely stood up to the creature, begging it to stop. His show of courage resurrected Ultraman Cosmos, who began to fight the dark monster, despite Musashi's pleas. As the Ultra was on the brink of defeat, Musashi fused with him again, transforming into Miracluna form. With the aid of Team EYES, Lidorias, Bolgils and Mogrudon, he was able to purify Chaos Header with the Luna Final, turning him into an angelic being, who left Earth.
Musashi and Cosmos then separated again, with the Ultra thanking Musashi for showing him a way to coexist with Chaos Header and calling him a true hero. Musashi begins to tear up as he thanks Cosmos for showing him true kindness, strength and courage. When he asks the giant to continue to protect monsters together, he replies that from now, Musashi will work with his friends to protect all life. Musashi requests to fly through the sky with him again, like he did as a child, but Cosmos asserts that he can already fly on his own. Ultraman Cosmos then flies away before answering whether or not they will meet again. Musashi is joined by the rest of EYES while waving goodbye. Still holding onto the Cosmo Stone, he remains confident they'll see Cosmos again.

Three years after Sandros was defeated. Musashi met Fubuki that he is ready to pilot and travel to Planet Juran with some of the monsters on Kaburaya Islands to Juran. Suddenly, Gloker Pawn appear and attacks the base and aims to destroy the space capsule that will contain the monsters. Cosmos arrives at that time to stop the duo but ended up being defeated. Musashi used the Cosmo Stone and merged with Cosmos and once again reached Eclipse Mode and paralyzes the two. But, Ultraman Justice appeared and revived the two Gloker and stopped Cosmos from making any movement. At the end, Musashi sacrificed his life with his Color Timer being hit so hard and died making Fubuki swear vengeance on Justice for a while.

But, they still not give up and the two fuse to become Ultraman Legend and destroyed Giga Endra with the Spark Legend from inside and the two split.

Musashi arrived in time to reach another universe's version of Earth to save Taiga and Takeru from Gubila's attack. Then, Musashi and Taiga ended up being recruited by Team U to fight against Alien Bat and Hyper Zetton (Gigant).
On the next day, Gubila and Gomess appear to attack them and Musashi transformed into Ultraman Cosmos and gained the upper hand until Gubila and Gomess going berserk and Ultraman Zero comes to aid him (even though due to Taiga's stubbornness, he can't grow into full size) and use Full Moon Rect to calm the duo kaiju. After then, Alien Bat came and destroyed them because of their failure and warned Cosmos to not intervene with his plans.
Musashi question Team U about another Ultra before him but they not answer him. Then, Taiga realized that Ultraman Dyna actually came to their Earth before them and ask where he is. Before sleep, Musashi tells the children about Juran, and the kids enjoyed hearing about the planet. In the morning, alien attacked their base and showing that Dyna is now in a deceased state after being defeated by Hyper Zetton (Gigant) not long ago. Hyper Zetton (Gigant) sent fireballs and Musashi transforms into Ultraman Cosmos and protects them with all that he got.

However, a more dangerous foe appeared after Alien Bat's spaceship combined with Hyper Zetton (Gigant) and transformed into Imago Hyper Zetton and bested them with ease. Cosmos and Dyna managed to revert to their hosts but Zero died because of his injuries. Musashi and Asuka then told Taiga to never give up and trust in their faith and a miracle beyond what they can achieve would happen. Their bond revived their light and transformed them together into a new fusion Ultra, Ultraman Saga and destroyed Hyper Zetton with the Saga Maximum with help from Team U.
Musashi as Cosmos then returned to his world and reunited with his family and lived happily there.

===Ultraman Orb THE ORIGIN SAGA===
While checking up on Bolgils on Planet Juran, Shin Asuka telepathically called Musashi for help in another universe. Asserting that he cannot let monsters be used as tools, he agreed to help, transforming into Ultraman Cosmos and entering a Stargate to the World of Planet Kanon. Later on, while Gai and co. headed back to Kanon from Planet Zain, he told Musashi to prevent Amate from transforming into the War Deity as they were still far away. 
Upon arrival, Musashi was met with a Bezelb, as well as Vakishim and Verokron, who had been infected by Kugutsu. After learning Cosmos was unable to purify the poison, he opted to fly around them. On the planet's surface, Amate was attempting to surrender to Psychi to protect her people from harm, but Cosmos's appearance scared away Psychi's Bezelbs, allowing her decision to be delayed. When asked what his power to become giant means to him, he described it as a power that helps him when his beliefs are about to succumb to reality. As Amate left with Raigo, Musashi implored her to avoid making a decision out of fear, but when Amate eventually resolved to become the War Deity, Musashi asked to see her eyes to understand her feelings, and was able to sense her reluctance. 
Amate began to confront the Bezelbs, and Musashi realized she had no intention of fighting, instead focusing on protecting the planet and fending off their attacks. He refused to join the fight, wanting to respect her choice, but Gai and Asuka were unable to sit and watch more people potentially get hurt, and transformed. Musashi eventually transformed too after witnessing the War Deity become infected with Kugutsu. 
After the battle ended, Musashi and Asuka scolded Juggler for not fighting how a warrior of light should. With Psychi now headed for Earth, Gai left Planet Kanon to Musashi and Asuka while he gave chase. 
When the final battle against Psyqueen began to unfold, Musashi and Asuka returned to help, transforming alongside Gai, Gamu Takayama and Hiroya Fujimiya.
