Akiko Fuji

is the main communications officer of the SSSP, as well as the only main female character from Ultraman.
==History==
===Ultraman===
As the sole female member of the SSSP Japan Branch, Fuji is primarily responsible for internal communication and coordination within the team. Additionally, she frequently engages in frontline battles, demonstrating a highly active performance. Together with the team, she shoulders the crucial mission of addressing various mysterious incidents and protecting Earth from Alien invaders and Kaiju.
When initially introduced, Fuji, along with other SSSP members, was on standby at the headquarters. She learned that Shin Hayata had discovered a blue sphere while patrolling the skies over Lake Ryugamori. Later, upon receiving information about the Sub VTOL, piloted by Hayata, crashing, she and Isamu Hoshino continued to send messages to Hayata from the headquarters. Despite Hoshino's reassurance by her side, she expressed considerable concern for Hayata's safety and remained particularly worried.
Subsequently, upon successfully establishing communication with Hayata, she felt joyous. Hayata requested that she transport the Special Submarine S16 to Lake Ryugamori, presenting this request. Fuji then used the Jet VTOL to transport S16 and landed it on the lake. Upon learning about Hayata's plan, Captain Toshio Muramatsu referred to this operation as "Ultra Operation No.1" and ordered the commencement of the attack on the true identity of the blue sphere, the "Bemular".
After Ultraman appeared and defeated Bemular, the members of the SSSP found Hayata miraculously alive. Hayata explained that he was saved by Ultraman. Fuji promptly inquired about where the alien known as "Ultraman" went after disappearing. Hayata replied, stating that after Ultraman's spaceship exploded, he could no longer return to his own planet.
On payday, Fuji and Mitsuhiro Ide went to a jewelry store in Ginza for shopping. However, Fuji discovered that the price of her favorite birthstone, "pearl", was exceptionally high. According to the store clerk, pearl cultivation has almost vanished this year, making it impossible to harvest pearls. The exact reason remains unclear, as ocean currents are flowing normally, and there haven't been any major typhoons. Fuji suspects that Kaiju might be the cause of the disappearance of pearls, so she shortens her rest time and begins an investigation.
When a Kaiju named Gamakugira attacked a truck traveling along the coast and started eating pearls with its tubular tongue, the SSSP immediately mobilized and launched an attack but faced retaliation. Seeing Gamakugira devouring pearls made Fuji particularly angry.
The next day, Gamakugira began moving, searching for more pearls. The SSSP launched a balloon bomb towards Gamakugira, intending to track and prevent it from coming ashore by attaching the bomb to floating balloons on the sea surface.
Following Hayata's instructions, Fuji arranged a small jet bomb from the headquarters. They attempted to capture Gamakugira with a small jet and send it into space. The mission was highly successful. Gamakugira's body floated in the air, heading towards the sky. However, it turned towards Ultraman, who was escorting it, and Ultraman ultimately destroyed it with a high-speed flying attack.
With Gamakugira defeated, pearl cultivation resumed its normal production, and Fuji could now purchase pearls with her salary. She asked Ide to help her carry the luggage, fully enjoying the pleasure of shopping.
In the Alien Zarab invasion plan, while Fuji was attending a meeting at the Space Bureau, the Alien Zarab disguised themselves as her and drugged the coffee, causing Daisuke Arashi, who was on standby at the headquarters, to fall into a coma.
Some time later, the Undersea Science Center, constructed to support underwater resource development, is about to hold its inauguration ceremony. The SSSP's mission is to guide Mr. Yoshimura, the president of the scientific company, and a special guest named Jenny to the facility. However, when the Special Submarine S25, piloted by Fuji, approaches the pipeline connecting the Science Center and the base, the vessel suddenly experiences abnormal turbulence.
Upon reaching the Science Center, President Yoshimura presses the switch to activate the facility. Fuji returns to the base to greet the press, while Hoshino accompanies President Yoshimura and Jenny on a tour of the Science Center. Suddenly, the Science Center starts shaking violently. Muramatsu tries to call Fuji, but communication is lost. At the same time, Fuji also discovers that the air supply pipeline to the Science Center is damaged. Additionally, the pier storing submarines is also damaged. At that moment, flooding begins to wreak havoc on the facility.
Feeling responsible for what she believed was a piloting error that caused the pipeline damage, Fuji displayed strong regret and a sense of responsibility. She voluntarily requested to undertake a dangerous underwater mission. She installed a melting device in the Science Center underwater to rescue trapped personnel. In the end, she successfully used the melting device to create an opening and complete the rescue. The mastermind behind the pipeline sabotage, "Gubila", was also defeated with the assistance of Ultraman.
Because her younger brother Satoru loves airplanes, she and Hayata accompanied Satoru to watch an airshow. However, the three of them witnessed a large oil tanker flying in the sky. Subsequently, supersonic airliners and fighter jets were pulled towards the sky and disappeared, while a refueling aircraft exploded in mid-air. Fuji and the others decided to investigate the scene, but their car suddenly floated in the air and disappeared. They were then abducted by Alien Mefilas.
Under the manipulation of Alien Mefilas, Fuji in an unconscious state, transformed into a giant and began to wreak havoc in the city, becoming Mefilas' challenge to the SSSP and humanity.
Later, she and Satoru were rescued by the SSSP, but she has no memory of transforming into a giant.
Upon learning about the existence of the Monster Graveyard, Fuji briefly expressed her personal perspective on the existence of Kaiju. She believed that Kaiju were, in fact, quite pitiful. The mere fact that they looked different from humans and possessed overwhelming power led to their exile into space, a situation that she found to be particularly cruel.
When a mysterious fleet of spacecraft was heading towards Earth, SSSP branches worldwide activated their defense systems, preparing for the potential attack from unknown enemies. During communication at the headquarters, Fuji was attacked by a Alien Zetton disguised as Dr. Iwamoto, resulting in damage to the base.
Upon the return of the other SSSP members to the base, they discovered that the facility had suffered severe damage, putting them in a difficult situation. They successfully rescued the unconscious Fuji, who revealed that the mastermind behind the attack was the Alien Zetton.
After Zetton defeated Ultraman, Ide and Arashi joined forces to use the Zero Gravity Bullet to attack Zetton, ultimately causing it to float in the air and explode. Humanity achieved victory through its own efforts. The SSSP witnessed the arrival of the emissary Zoffy from the Land of Light, bidding farewell to Ultraman and Zoffy, who were about to leave Earth and return to the Land of Light.
===Ultraman Kaiju Legend: The 40 Year Old Truth===
After the SSSP was absorbed by the Earth Defense Force, Fuji chose to retire and pursued her own path in life. Thirty years later, the death of Captain Muramatsu deeply saddened the SSSP members. Despite their activities expanding globally, they failed to reunite at Captain Muramatsu's funeral.
40 years later, Fuji received an anonymous letter, hoping that she could visit Captain Matsumura's former residence for a meeting, allowing her to reunite with her former comrades. She and Ide speculated that the letter might be from Hayata, believing that he could be intending to reveal his true identity as Ultraman. This speculation arose from the observation that whenever Hayata was absent during past battles, Ultraman would appear. However, Hayata considered himself as "possibly" being Ultraman, now just an elderly person.
After taking a group photo with Captain Muramatsu's memorial portrait, the members of SSSP left Captain Muramatsu's home. However, before departing, Fuji remained puzzled about the identity of the sender of the anonymous letter. 
===Revive! Ultraman===
In another timeline of the original series, one month after Ultraman's defeat by Zetton, as the SSSP's strength gradually increased, members began advocating that "Ultraman is no longer needed". Fuji opposed Ide's assertion that "Ultraman's power has declined," emphasizing that Ultraman had suffered severe injuries during the battle with Zetton.
After a mysterious space force was detected, Fuji stayed at the headquarters to handle communications. However, Alien Zetton took advantage of the situation to once again invade the headquarters and attack Fuji. When the returning SSSP defeated Alien Zetton, the sound it emitted became a signal for Kaijus to launch a full-scale attack. Fuji then actively participated as a frontline member in the mission to counter the Kaiju threat.
When Ultraman finally defeated Zetton alone, members of the SSSP celebrated together in joy.
==Giant Member Fuji==
 was the giant form of Akiko Fuji after Alien Mefilas used his saucer to turn her large temporarily in order for her younger brother to give him the control over Earth.
===History===
When Alien Mefilas kidnapped Hayata, Fuji and her little brother, he turned Fuji into a giant and placed her in the middle of a city, and tried to convince Satoru to give him the Earth in return for a star, explaining that he wanted to "challenge the heart of an earthling". 
But Satoru refused to give Alien Mefilas the Earth. Enraged, Alien Mefilas made the giant Fuji go on a rampage in the city. The SSSP, who had arrived earlier where tried to keep the police from hurting Fuji. Alien Mefilas then made his presence known to them and took away Fuji and replaced her with illusions of Alien Baltan, Kemur, and Alien Zarab. 
Captain Muramatsu demand that Alien Mefilas show himself, but the alien said he could see them and said he wanted the hearts of the Earth. The SSSP asked what he meant, but heard him arguing with Satoru, who still refused to give in to the Mefilas Man's wishes. Alien Mefilas then turned off his illusions and left the SSSP dumbfounded. However the conversation gave the SSSP the time they needed to located the Mefilas space ship, and an air strike was sent to assault.
With his ship under attack and again with no other option, Alien Mefilas seemed to runaway and leave his ship behind, while the Science Patrol rescued Fuji and Satoru.

==Counterparts==
===Ultraman THE FIRST===
An alternate Akiko Fuji appeared in this manga where her role was the same as the original alongside with other main characters. However, during the final arc of the manga, it was revealed that she was possessed by an Alien Baltan all along ever since the first Baltan's defeat at the hands of Ultraman. 
Alien Baltan races seek revenge by possessing Fuji to monitor Shin Hayata/Ultraman's fight by sending various monsters that they mutated from Earth organisms in order to create their ultimate kaiju, Zetton. When they captured Hayata on top of the space sattelite, Fuji threatened him by attempting to destroy his Beta Capsule using her supergun. 
However, it hit on her arm instead and seemingly attempted to kill herself. A Baltan was released from her and fatally attacked her with a single beam. While being tossed out from the satellite as a result of the said fatal attack, Fuji threw the Beta Capsule to Hayata, allowing him to transform into Ultraman. 
In the end, after Zetton's death, Ultraman was visited by Zoffy where he urged Ultraman to return to the Land of Light. The Ultra agreed, under one condition that both Fuji and Hayata must be given a second life force.
====Trivia====
*Unlike her original counterpart, she appeared to be more of Hayata's love interest.

Anne bid farewell to her husband Hayata, who was about to join the battle. She witnessed the moment when he along with seven Ultras joined forces to save the world.
Several years later, at the commissioning ceremony of the Nippon Maru space vessel, she and Hayata boarded Jet VTOL, embarking on a journey to explore the M78 Nebula in space with other friends. 
===ULTRAMAN manga===
