Kemur

https://m-78.jp/z/kaiju/ is a species of aliens that first appeared in Ultra Q. A race of aliens that had been granted incredible abilities via the processes of natural selection and evolution, the first Kemur travelled back in time to 1966 from the near-future year of 2020 to abduct humans to extend his lifespan and recover from weakness brought on through overexerting himself. Since the original's first appearance, a handful of other Kemur have appeared throughout the Ultraman Series.

==History==
===Ultra Q===
Kemur was from a highly advanced species of aliens that survived as a possible next evolutionary step for humankind. Although his longevity and physical capabilities surpassed a normal human's, his body was slowly weakening like any other organism through overexertion, and so he decided to travel back in time to find suitable humans to keep himself alive. Arriving from his distant alien world from the year 2020, Kemur came to Earth, kidnapping innocent lives by using goo that gave the illusion of erasing them, turning them into X-channel light waves he could absorb. Before long the invader was soon discovered. A long chase ensued, but the alien was able to effortlessly outrun a police car! He then took on a new disguise and continued on with his mission until he was again confronted. This time a small military force was put up against him, forcing him to try and escape up a ferris wheel. Another round was shot into his body, making it drop to the unforgiving ground.
Soon after slamming into the concrete, Kemur began to grow larger, turning into a giant. Enraged, the alien lifted up the ferris wheel and smashed it into a nearby building. The soldiers around him opened fire, but nothing could stop him. As all looked grim, X-channel light rays were fired at him from the Tokyo Tower. The light rays severely wounded the invader, making him collapse. As the humans celebrated their victory over the invader, Kemur, groaning in pain, sprayed himself with his own goo. In just a few moments, his body was teleported elsewhere. A strange mist then descended, returning everyone Kemur had abducted. Exactly what happened to Kemur after he escaped is unknown. 
====Trivia====
*Suit actor: Bin Furuya
*Kemur would inspire the alien Lecuum.
*His appearence in Ultra Q was referenced by Alien Valky in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 8 in reference to his appearance in Ultraman Ginga.
*Simillar to all Ultra Q kaiju, Kemur is quite short when compared to the other Kaiju after Ultra Q.
*In an unrealized script titled Tokyo Tsunami a second Kemur was meant to return and do battle with the underground monster Pagos and the meteor monster Garamon.
*The sound Kemur made in his original appearance is a modified Matango's laugh. He also produces a sound reused from one of the Showa King Ghidorah's roars.
**Some of the sounds Kemur produces after growing in size are slowed down growls of Godzilla from 1955's Godzilla Raids Again, and after being defeated, he produces slowed down Manda's roars.
===Ultraman===
Kemur reappeared in Ultraman as Kemur II.
After briefly withdrawing the enlarged Akiko Fuji to his spaceship, Alien Mefilas summoned Kemur II, an illusion based on the original's likeness. The giant was summoned to Tokyo along with two illusory comrades, those of Alien Baltan III and Alien Zarab II. The three stood their ground before the Science Patrol, awaiting their orders. Those orders, however, never came. Alien Mefilas was not a fan of violent tactics and made his three illusions vanish into thin air. 
====Trivia====
*Suit actor: Haruo Nakajima
*Kemur II's costume is new but the head is the original's.
*Kemur II's head was later used to make Alien Zetton.
*Kemur II's breathing noises would later be combined with beeping to create some of Zetton's sounds.
*Captain Muramatsu states the SSSP have defeated Kemur before, indicating another Kemur attacked in between this individual and the original, which would play out in Ultra Strategy, Mobilization of the Science Patrol!.
===Ultraman Ginga===
A Kemur Spark Doll was given to a maniacal biker by Alien Valky for him to get revenge on Misuzu. Upon seeking out his prey, the biker transformed into Kemur before her and chased the terrified girl through an empty school building. Eventually losing her pursuant, Misuzu was granted a brief respite when she bumps into a cop on patrol. However, Kemur reappeared behind the unsuspecting policeman, coating him with his teleporting goo. As Kemur closed in on Misuzu, he was ambushed by Hikaru with a soccer ball to the head. Frustrated, the alien engaged Hikaru Raido in a one-sided brawl, with Ginga's host getting brutalized by Kemur. Upon seeing how Hikaru was in trouble and remembering how he had always been there for her, Misuzu mustered all her courage and assaulted Kemur with a mop, subsequently landing a low blow to his crotch that caused the alien to writhe around in agony.
Annoyed and angered beyond his limits, Kemur finally grew into his giant form. With Ultraman Taro's timely arrival, Hikaru quickly Ultlived into Thunder Darambia to engage his now colossal foe. However, the Super Synthetic Monster was no match for Kemur's superior agility as his electrical attacks fail to connect. Getting cocky from it, Kemur exploited his speed advantage and ridiculed Thunder Darambia by farting into its face and stuffing a tree into its mouth. Deciding to put an end to Kemur's crazy antics, Hikaru Ultlived into Ginga. The tables immediately turned against the alien's favor as Ginga's speed far outclassed his own. After being kicked back and forth repeatedly by the warrior of light, Kemur was forcefully launched into space. Ginga then took to the skies and exited into space as he charged towards the frantic alien. Despite it's comical attempt to swim away, Kemur was ultimately caught by the hero's Ginga Fireball finisher. Reverting back into a Spark Doll, the alien fell back to Earth, landing near his traumatized and burnt biker host. 
Kemur also appeared in the following episode, when his Spark Doll was saved by Taro after Hikaru's room was set on fire by Yuuka, King Pandon's Spark Doll host. With only one Spark Doll at his disposal, Hikaru Ultlived into Kemur and headed straight for his burning room. When Yuuka transformed into King Pandon, Kemur rose to the fight but failed to put up much of a resistance, being completely overpowered by King Pandon's fiery blasts. Weak and battered, he was then stomped on mercilessly until Hikaru Ultlived into Ginga and turned the fight against the Twin-headed Monster. 
He soon reappears in episode 5 as a means for Hikaru to get into Jean-Killer's cockpit by coating himself with its teleporting goo. He is soon called back when the giant is called away. 
In episode 7, him along with many different monsters are seen cheering for Ultraman Ginga as he fights Dark Galberos. 
It is likely that Kemur returned to space in his original form after Ultraman Ginga defeated Dark Lugiel.

====Dark Star Cluster====
One of the , Kemur was first seen with his comrades performing robbery in a warehouse at Earth. When Alien Valky Halky's Samekujira Jolly came to Earth for its master, the team approaches Xio and Jolly's owner, demanding it until Halky challenged them for a rugby match.
Three days later in the tournament, the Dark Star Cluster participated in the rugby and scores 51 points in the first half due to cheating with their powers until Isamu's fighting spirit turns the tables in the second round. Enraged when Isamu called them no side after the game ended, they enlarged and began on a rampaging spree before Ultraman X Gomora Armor sent them to the sky with Gomora Oscillation Wave.

====Kidnapping Syndicate====
Another Kemur was a member of Dada's kidnapping syndicate, which bends on collecting ideal women on Earth for cloning with Dada's prediction that humanity is on the verge of extinction from Dark Thunder Energy.
Disguising as a drunk man whose walking to a bathhouse at night, his mission is to kidnap women with his shrink gun but before he can begin the operation, Xio members caught him and went for a chase. Kemur was stopped by Daichi (under Ultraman X's guidance) and apprehended by Wataru.
In the interrogation room, with almost every method failed, Captain Kamiki (dressed in a casual outfit) takes over and manages to get the information from Kemur after six hours by simply reminding him of his old life with his mother at his home planet. 
Kemur reappeared as a Cyber Card in the final episode of Ultraman X. After Ultraman X spoke out to Gomora and striked Greeza right in the center of his chest, Kemur, along with all of the other Cyber Cards, traveled to X and united with him. Cyber Kemur's power was used to help form the Hybrid Armor and power up the Ultimate Xanadium to defeat Greeza once and for all. Kemur, along with the numerous other Cyber Cards and Spark Dolls, then appeared and thanked Daichi as he thanked them.

===Ultraman Z===
Kemur had appeared on Earth 54 years ago and abducted several humans to merge with them and increase his lifespan. One of the abducted victims was a young woman named Kaori. To resume his race's plan to raid Earth for its humans, Kemur appeared once more in the present time, but he hadn't anticipated Kaori's will taking over due to her strong attachment to her home planet, remaining just as young as she was on the day Kemur merged with her as a result of the unusual event. Kemur managed to make several people vanish using his Erasing Energy Source, the energy given off by this process drawing the attention of a Pagos. Since the monster was a hindrance to his plans, Kemur used his Erasing Energy Source to make Pagos vanish as well.
While investigating Pagos' disappearance, Haruki Natsukawa ran into Kaori near an old Ferris wheel, who asked him to kill her before Kemur took over once again. As he turned around to contact Yoko Nakashima, Kaori had disappeared. When STORAGE had been analyzing footage of the disappearances, Haruki noticed that Kaori was in all of the footage, and set out with Yoko to track her down, correctly believing her to be connected to the string of disappearances. Following her to an abandoned building, Yoko was sprayed by the Erasing Energy Source and vanished. Kaori's will took over again just as Haruki found her, but Kemur revealed himself and elaborated on his plans. He then went outside and attached a bomb filled with Erasing Energy Source to the Ferris wheel, planning to detonate the device and create a mass abduction event by distributing the chemical into rain clouds. Ultraman Z fought against Kemur, but was unable to land a killing blow because Haruki hesitated at killing Kaori along with Kemur, despite her pleas to do so. The Beliarok told Haruki to trust him, and they used the Deathcium Slash to split apart the fusion and kill Kemur, as well as sending the bomb away to explode in a dimensional rift. With Kemur's death, everyone he abducted was returned to where they were when they disappeared, including Pagos, who quickly burrowed away to safety.
Though Kaori's life was saved, she was injured as a result of Kemur's destruction and had to use a wheelchair during her recovery. Though she had had lost her memories of the previous night, she had trust in Haruki, as well as Ultraman Z, and resolved to enjoy her new life in the present day.

==Other Media==
===Ultra Strategy, Mobilization of the Science Patrol!===
In the 1992 PC game, the Kemur sent a biological weapon to Earth in the form of Iogon in their attempt to conquer the Earth. 
===Ultra Super Fight===
Kemur is a recurring character in Ultra Super Fight a direct-to-video series inspired by Ultra Fight.
Kemur is first seen driving a car with his tobacco when he sees Ultraman, who's at work as a traffic officer. Driving at high speed, Kemur forces Ultraman to jump out of the way while firing his Erasing Energy Source at the Ultra. Angered, Ultraman catches up to him, and pulls him out of his car, furiously scolding him. The duo fight, with Ultraman coming out the victor. After Ultraman attaches a speeding ticket to Kemur's face, Kemur promptly faints. 
Later, he is seen with bandages, having apparently gotten into a fight with Astra. Leo comes in and reprimands Astra, telling him that he doesn't fight very well, and when Kemur attempts to intervene, Leo shoves him to the ground, briefly forgetting that he was the one who saved him. After that, Astra, wanting to prove that he could fight, has the idea to chase Kemur around in an attempt to fight him. Kemur makes it to the top of a small hill, but falls and rolls back down, dazed but still alive, and runs away. Astra thought that he had won and jumps for joy. 
Then, he reappears walking, when Ultraman bumps into him and spills a bucket of water. An argument immediately takes place, which escalates into a fight when Ultraman sarcastically taunts Kemur. Kemur picks up a wooden bat, and hits Ultraman with it a few times, before summoning a bomb and throwing it at the Ultra. Ultraman catches the bomb and in a panic throws it back to Kemur, who taunts him by using the fuse to light a cigarette before putting the bomb away. Ultraman gets bored and prepares to leave, but all of a sudden, Kemur suddenly draws a revolver, and shoots Ultraman with it three times, knocking him down. Kemur thinks he's won and taunts Ultraman again, when Ultraman gets back up, then punches the alien in the face, knocking him out. 
Kemur later appears in a segment when he whacks Ultraseven over the head with a club. Seven pauses, and Kemur explains himself, and then dances to distract him. Zetton appears out of nowhere and restrains Seven by tying himself to the hero with a cord, and both of them start tag teaming the Ultra, with Kemur taking advantage of Seven's restrained state by rushing past and hitting him repeatedly. However, Seven somehow manages to get hold of a fan, and knocks Kemur out with it.
===Ultra Zone===
Kemur makes a return after almost 45 years in episode 7 of the variety show Ultra Zone, where he stops a robber from stealing a girl's purse. He even turns giant next to the modern Ferris wheel he attacked in his original appearance.
