Shigeru Hijikata

is one of the main characters of Ultraman Max. He is the captain of DASH. 
==Personality==
Hijikata is often regarded as an ideal and self-disciplined commander. When DASH gets dispatched, he often makes calm and objective judgments to attack monsters. Although he sometimes appears too serious and treats his teammates quite strictly, he, in fact, wholly trusts the performance of his subordinates.
He pays a lot of attention to his own opinions and decisions even if he gets refuted by others, he will argue with reason, and he has successfully seized the weakness of the Alien Shamer who intend to invade the Earth by using provocative generals. 
Although he is usually disciplined, he has a humorous side. He is obsessed with rock music and heavy metal in private. 
==History==
===Ultraman Max===

During the series finale, he joins all members in watching Max leave Earth.
