Satomi Hayakawa

is one of the main characters in the Heisei Ultraseven series. She is a new member of UG.
==Personality==
In the beginning of the series, Satomi shows a dashing, courageous, and just spirit and participates in battles with UG's new members. She maintains her idealistic stance to protect the peace of Earth, but as the series progresses and the events of the Omega Files occur, her ideals towards TDF are completely shattered. After this, her behavior becomes more mature and serious in character.
Initially, she often teams up with Kazamori and the two often argue and cooperate, gradually developing a crush on Kazamori as the series progresses. whom was perhaps the first to suspect Kazamori when he was replaced by Ultraseven, perhaps showing concern for him when the two switched places, since Seven would be going into a dangerous situation. 
Additionally, her relationship with Rumi is also very good and they communicate like sisters in their daily lives. Toward newly joined team member Yuki, she shows a sincere and helpful attitude in communication.
==History==
===Childhood===
During her childhood, her father, who was the owner of Sci-Fi only publishing house, brought a man, named Yoshiya Heimi, to Okinajima island, as part of their collaboration in publishing Henmi's book, The Large Flying Iron Lump. When Satomi's father left Okinajima for work, Henmi became Satomi's uncle-figure and they read his book together as part of her bedtime story. 
At one point,she witnessed her uncle-figure revealing his true form behind the slide doors. Despite this, Henmi's story and his beliefs about "Science being used for justice" became part of her motivations in joining UG. 
===Ultraseven 1998===
Years later, Satomi officially joins UG as a new member and under the arrangement of Captain Shiragane, acts as a partner with Kazamori to investigate potential monster, alien, and mysterious phenomenon missions.
During an investigation into a large amount of gold appearing in Miyashin village, upon learning that Banderas's goal is to absorb energy through human greed, desire, and various negative thoughts, and to revive his life to save the lives of another galaxy, she expressed sympathy and protested the TDF upper echelons to destroy the wormhole connecting Earth and Banderas.
However, when she learned that even negative emotions were important for humanity's existence, Satomi began to hesitate about exploding the wormhole. However, when Dan returned from the Banderas System, she learned the truth about everything: all civilizations in Banderas had already left the System and gone to another planet, so the Banderas System was no longer inhabitable. Unable to accept the fact that he was abandoned by the residents, Banderas turned into a huge monster and fought with the UG. Satomi was affected by the accident and fell into a coma. Finally, Dan transformed into Ultraseven and stopped Banderas.
After the crisis was resolved, she and other members paid their respects to Seven as he left Earth.
===Ultraseven 1999===
Kazamori and Satomi went to stores for a gift for their superior's upcoming retirement. However, they were interrupted by Shima reporting about the destruction of Moon Base, where Furuhashi became part of the casualties; and were called back to the headquarters. 
Like her fellow members, she was disgusted in Kaji's and, by extension, TDF's actions in conquering the galaxy, and she thought of quitting Ultra Guard. Later, she and Rumi went to Okinajima for a vacation. There, she found her uncle-figure's published book and read during their sleep time. The following day, she told Kazamori about the story but he didn't understand about it while he and Shima encountered a strange metallic object in the mountain. When Satomi and Rumi went back to the boat, she encountered a mysterious man who was interested with Henmi's book. 
However, he caused her to fall into the cliff leaving the book behind and she was rescued by Henmi himself. Upon awaken in the cave, she met Henmi and she was able to remember about her childhood past with Henmi. Henmi revealed to her that not only he was an alien but also he intended to rebuilt his spaceship by using his book as a hidden blueprint. He also mentioned that Alien Galos became interested with his book and were responsible for her father's death. 
Upon sensing that three Galos approaching, he left her his drafted second part of his book, in which she read. Later, she met Rumi and used Ultra Hawk No.3 to go back to Ultra Guard headquarters. However, Satomi landed on a area where Ultraseven and Daitekkai were battling, and tried to convince Ultraseven to stop battling it, unaware that Henmi, who was absorbed into Daitekkai, convinced Seven to destroy the core part of the robot. After the robot's defeat, she, along with Ultra Guard members, mourned about Henmi's death and Satomi made a monologue about his story's epilogue. 
Under TDF's assignment based on the charge of "crime," she and other UG members attempted to arrest Kazamori, and thus learned that Kazamori's true identity was Seven. When the higher-ups ordered Kazamori to be executed immediately, she finally collaborated with her companions and broke into the facility to save Kazamori, who was imprisoned in prison. 
Finally, she and the other members witness Ultraseven defeating Zabangi and through its monster capsule, returning the true Kazamori to UG.
===Ultraseven EVOLUTION===
Five years after the Omega Files event, Satomi left the UG team as a reserve member and lived in a villa, writing novels. However, after Rumi disappearance, she returned to her position to assist her team in battle. 
Three weeks later, UG was officially disbanded by TDF without warning or consultation. Upon learning of the TDF's internal infiltration, Satomi decided to secretly act with all former UG members. To prevent extraterrestrials from acquiring the technology of other TDF global branch organizations, they devised a plan to destroy the Far East base and, with the assistance of Kazamori, the other members of the team promptly left the exploding Far East base.
Several months after the destruction of Far East Base, the residents of Japan were brainwashed and returned to normal life without considering the existence of UG. During a shopping trip at a grocery store, Rimi and Yuki discovered a girl named Mayuko, who was the only resident not under mental control. However, they did not know that Mayuko was actually a spy of a new human group. When Satomi and Yuki found that all city residents were brainwashed, their entire team was held captive by Saijou's troops.
Due to Yuki's influence of care, Mayuko decided to defect from her peers to the side of humanity. She used her growing strength to defeat her former comrades. However, to protect Yuki and Mayuko, Satomi was accidentally shot and critically injured by a revived TDF soldier. Before her death, she told her beliefs and feelings about the Earth to Kazamori who had rushed to the scene. She then left this world at the cost of her life. 
Under Kazamori's intense wailing and crying, the Dragonic Saucer who had been observing the Earth decided to accept Satomi's soul, bringing her to where Seven was imprisoned. This successfully awakened Seven, and Kazamori acquired all of Seven's power.
In the series finale, before Kazamori embarks on a journey of her own, she briefly saw the Golden Dragon and Satomi's soul on the beach. Eventually, as the Dragonic Saucer left, Satomi's soul disappeared.
