 is the titular Ultra Warrior featured in the Direct-to-DVD Ultraman Series Ultraman Neos. He came to Earth to defend humanity from monsters and aliens, alongside his partner Ultraseven 21. Neos chose Genki Kagura from the defense team HEART as his host during his time on Earth. He is part of the , a group within the Inter Galactic Defense Force composed of especially heroic members.
==History==
===Ultraman Neos Pilot===
Ultraman Neos arrived on Earth to fight Alien Zamu, having the advantage until the alien brought Drengeran into the fight. Neos was outnumbered, though Ultraseven 21 appeared and the two were able to defeat the opponents together, finishing them with their beam attacks. 
===Ultraman Neos===
Ultraman Neos was sent to Earth after Ultraseven 21 was unable to go. His mission was to protect it from the effects of the Unbalance Zone, a zone in outer space that our solar system crosses once every three million years. The Unbalance Zone where Dark Matter 'drifts', which inevitably causes bizarre phenomena such as monsters to appear. Before reaching Earth, he merged his life force with HEART member Genki Kagura, who was fixing a satellite. His companions in the satellite had been killed by meteors that hit it, resulting in an explosion that caused him to become adrift in space until the Ultraman returned him home.
There he began to lead the fight for good. His first battle came against Arnagaruge, the first Dark Matter monster documented in Japan. It was microbes mutated by the Dark Matter, but the HEART team had never seen such a giant. Thinking Neos was also a Dark Matter creation, they fired on both giants as he tried to save one of their members from the clutches of the beast. Despite the explosions spreading across his body, the giant managed to save the team member and vanquish the huge monster. 
After this battle, and once HEART figured out that Neos was on their side, the red and silver giant would return more and more, heading up the fight against evil with Ultraseven 21 acting as his often-needed backup. The pair managed to defeat, and often destroy, all monsters that rose up to attack. After the many monsters that had been created by Dark Matter were killed, Earth got the attention of the supreme evil one himself, Mensch Heit.
A Dark Matter mutation from the planet Zamu, the vile warlord had all but eradicated the Alien Zamu civilization, forcing them to Earth. Seeking to wipe the dying civilization out for no other reason than his pride, the villain sent his golden assassin, Grall, a synthesis mutation made from the strongest dark matter monster on Zamu, to vanquish all Zamu survivors on Earth. After it attacked the Alien Zamu ship, the beast sought out the last Zamu survivor, charged with resurrecting his people using his own life force. Neos appeared to battle the creature as it attacked HEART HQ where the boy was. The monster managed to take Neos' attacks and then some. Holding the hero down, the golden beast began to siphon off his energy. After unleashing a tremendous beam composed of the stolen energy from his jaws, it seemed Grall had won. However, Neos wasn’t down yet, and managed to hit the fiend with his Neo Magnium Beam and Neos Eddie Beam, using the last of his energy to kill the beast. 
Having used up all of his energy, Neos was seemingly dead, only to be revived at the last minute by Ultraseven 21 and Zoffy. Mensch Heit attacked the Earth, moved forward, and only one last warrior was left in commission: Ultraseven 21. Neos was weakened, but wasn’t dead. Genki called on him again, but in his weakened state, both Seven 21 and Neos were no match for such a beast and were easily thrown back and once again left for dead, but an unforeseen ally was ready to help: the last Zamu.
The alien sacrificed himself and transferred his energy to the pair of heroes, recharging their energy and strength. With renewed power, the two managed to vanquish Mensch Heit. The war was over and their missions complete, and the pair returned to Nebula M78. 
===Mega Monster Battle Ultra Galaxy: The Movie===
After Ultraman Belial was freed, he went towards the Land of Light. After arriving, he shows that Ultraman Taro was defeated by him. After the Ultramen knew this, they all, including Ultraman Neos, went towards Belial to fight him. Even after a long battle, they all were defeated by Belial with relative ease, and when Belial took the Plasma Spark, all the Land of Light was frozen, along every Ultra. After Ultraman Zero defeated Belial and recovered the Plasma Spark, all the Ultras revive and went to listen to Ultraman King's speech. 
===Galaxy Rescue Force Voice Drama===
The Galaxy Rescue Force reached out to the Elite Task Force to attain a sparring partner for their new member Gukulushisa. Neos was chosen for this role, and the two got so acquainted with each other that he was able to understand and interpret the creature. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy===
Ultraman Neos went with Ultraseven 21 and Ultraman 80 to Planet Feed in pursuit of Leugocyte, whose attack on Planet Kanon had been stopped by 80. Together, the three Ultras tag-teamed Leugocyte, when all of a sudden Absolute Tartarus and Reibatos arrived, the latter using his powers to revive Gymaira. With 80 occupied fighting Gymaira, Leugocyte knocked Neos and Seven 21 down, but fortunately, Cosmos and Justice arrived to lend a hand, having arrived after picking up unusual energy readings, which they had followed to Planet Feed. Cosmos and Justice stepped in to fight Leugocyte, rescuing Seven 21 and Neos whilst simultaneously giving 80 and opening to defeat Gymaira. With everyone now fighting Leugocyte simultaneously, Neos received a message sent from Zoffy as an Ultra Sign, and told the others that the mission to save Max had begun. They eventually defeat Leugocyte but are suddenly attacked by Absolute Tartarus, who ambushed them. Fortunately, Cosmos and Justice fuse into Ultraman Legend, forcing Tartarus into retreating. After the battle was over, Neos and the others return to the Inter Galactic Defense Force Headquarters to report the situation to Zoffy.

==Trivia==
*Despite his short to-video series, Neos is a very important Ultra in the history of the series. Neos' pilot was conceived and presented to the heads of Tsuburaya Productions to show them that they could still continue the Ultraman Series and have it still be fresh. Although the TV series was not picked up it convinced the company heads to create a new Ultraman Series.
*While Ultraseven 21 is based on Ultraseven, Ultraman Neos is based on the original Ultraman, the two original Ultras created by Eiji Tsuburaya.
**This means that Neos is the third Ultra in a row to be directly based on Ultraman, the others being Ultraman Great and Ultraman Powered.
*Ultraman Neos was the second Ultra mistaken to be an enemy on the first encounter (the first was Ultraman Great) and the second to be attacked by humans.
*Ultraman Neos has two different designs on two Ultra Hero Series figures and both the Pilot and the TV Series.
*Neos' eyes can move, as seen in the pilot episode.
**Neos and Seven 21 are the first Ultras whose eyes can move.
*According to a magazine, Neos is from the Elite Task Force of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, comprised of brave and strong Ultra Warriors. He powered up after undergoing special training in the Land of Light. He could also apparently change his size from micro to extremely giant size.:File:NeosAdditionalInfo.png
*In several commercials, Neos attends Greenland Park with a human girl who he has feelings for. But due to his Color Timer, constantly had to leave.
*In another commercial, Neos is sitting at home when he turns on the TV and is acknowledged by Goku, Kamen Rider Black RX, the Gingamen (GingaRed, GingaGreen and GingaPink), Arale Norimaki, and Sailor Moon, causing him great excitement as they announced him as a hero and promoted his appearance in the Super Hero Dai Circus.
