==Trivia==
*Tsuchiya was a guest at Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad x TAMASHII NATIONS ONLINE 2021 Livestream Special on November 20, 2021. When Absolute Titan appeared, he attempted to attack him but was knocked aside. While off-screen, Tsuchiya transformed into Ultraman Ribut, briefly dueling Titan before the Absolutian decided to leave. Returning to his seat, Tsuchiya tried to stylishly reveal that he was Ribut, but stumbled over his words, making everyone laugh.
*In the Ultraman Connection Live Holiday Special Q&A panel, when asked which other character he would have liked to play in Ultraman Trigger, Tsuchiya noted Yuna Shizuma/Yuzare as his choice because of the dual-personality fellow co-star Runa Toyoda has to portray, which he found fascinating from an acting standpoint.
