==Trivia==
*Shunji Igarashi, the actor who portrayed Mirai Hibino/Ultraman Mebius, is also a former member of D-Boys.
*Takuya Negishi shares his first name with actor Takuya Kusakawa, who played Tomoya Ichijouji in Ultraman Ginga and Ultraman Ginga S.
*Kensuke Takahashi, the actor who portrayed Daichi Oozora in Ultraman X, views him as a senior despite the latter being younger. However, Kensuke doesn't view Hideo Ishiguro, who is more experienced than the two, much of a senior due to the latter starring in Ultraman Orb, which aired after Ultraman X.
