Michifumi Inoue

is a character that appeared in Ultraman Gaia. He is a cameraman of KCB, whose nickname is "Rimbun".
==Personality==
Michifumi has a somewhat vague and gentle personality, often giving off a dull atmosphere. However, when he picks up a camera, he can demonstrate exceptional skills in filming, especially in live broadcasts of battles between monsters and Ultraman. He has a fearless side and also possesses the ability to observe sharply and search for relevant information.
Although his name is pronounced "Michifumi," it is pronounced as "Rinbun" by Tabata and Reiko (another way to read "Michifumi"). In addition, in the series, he seems to have a crush on Reiko and often shows concern and care for her actions, but this feeling is not noticed by Reiko. Later on, he seems to develop feelings for Megumi Kuroda.
==History==
===Ultraman Gaia===
Michifumi is a member of the journalist team led by Kenji Tabata at KCB, known as the "Tabata class." He serves as the team's cameraman and driver, supporting their live broadcasts and news coverage from the scene.
As a frontline journalist, he reported on the appearance of C.O.V. over Tokyo and witnessed the birth of Ultraman Gaia. Through his on-site observations, he learned about the existence and connection between Gamu and XIG, although the situation at the time was a puzzle that was difficult to unravel. After that, he and other KCB members began reporting on battles between Gaia and monsters.
During a report on the strange happenings in Shiroiwa Town, Michifumi was attacked by brainwashed residents while repairing the engine of his car alone. He became a victim of Psycho Mezard's control and attempted to attack Reiko, who was alone at night, but fell into a coma after being attacked by her. After Psycho Mezard was defeated by Ultraman Agul, he regained consciousness, but did not remember being controlled at that time.
When Reiko went missing, he was worried about her safety. After the battle between Gaia and Agul, he came to the scene to comfort the grieving Reiko.
After the incident, Reiko was greatly affected and refused to work. In order to comfort her, Michifumi took the encouragement letters from fans and brought them to Reiko, giving her the courage to return to work.
When Queen Mezard began attacking KCB headquarters, he was once again controlled by Mezard to protect Reiko, but he returned to normal after Gaia stopped Queen Mezard.
When Zog arrived on Earth, he immediately went to the city to film a live broadcast of Ultraman fighting against Zog. However, he ended up capturing the moment when Ultraman Gaia and Agul were defeated, and witnessed the two Ultra beings transforming back into their human forms, revealing the truth about Ultraman's identity as Gamu and Fujimiya. After contacting a friend of Gamu, he, along with Tsubasa and Reiko, rushed to rescue Gamu who was surrounded by citizens and reporters.
Later, they went to the Particle Observation Research Institute to meet with Fujimiya and began live streaming their efforts to repair the Earth's network, urging humanity not to give up. With their help, Fujimiya and Gamu regained the power of Ultraman. During the final battle, Michifumi was under the command of Tanabe and fully broadcasted the live battle, once again giving people hope. Finally, they witnessed Gaia and Agul teaming up to defeat Zog, and Earth finally obtained a moment of peace.
