is a guest character who appeared in Ultraman Blazar. He is Teruaki Nagura's father.
==History==
===Pre-Ultraman Blazar===
Shogo hails from Nakaboshi Town in Yamanashi Prefecture. Following his marriage to a woman, they welcomed two sons, Masaaki and Teruaki. Engaged in agricultural pursuits, the family actively participated in local community development, garnering multiple commendations from the municipal government for their contributions to self-governance. Even after his wife passed away, Shogo continued to collaborate with Masaaki in managing their hometown's farm.
However, since Teruaki joined GGF, prolonged discord has arisen in the father-son relationship. Shogo did not endorse Teruaki's decision to join GGF. However, Shogo's underlying concern is not rooted in Teruaki's ability to inherit the family business or get married, but rather in his son engaging in a hazardous occupation.
About a month ago, Nakaboshi Town experienced a sudden, widespread withering of crops, resulting in extensive damage to the land itself. Witnessing the vegetables in the fields wilting and the soil becoming infertile and unsuitable for cultivation, Shogo felt deep anxiety. Overwhelmed by the discouraging situation, he fell ill and subsequently took time off to recuperate at home. Since then, he has not returned to farming.
===Ultraman Blazar===
In October 2023, driven by a longing for Teruaki and a reluctance to see him continue his involvement with GGF, Shogo requested Masaaki to call Teruaki. Under the pretext of falsely claiming a deterioration in his own health, Shogo urgently implored Teruaki to return to their hometown immediately. As Teruaki hastily returned home, Shogo, who appeared in good health at the door, personally greeted him, only to be exposed on the spot as Teruaki saw through the deception.
Subsequently, Shogo and Masaaki presented Teruaki with some matchmaking photos and information, attempting to persuade him to resign from GGF under the pretext of "considering marriage." While Teruaki understood his father's concerns, he expressed displeasure at Shogo's deceitful actions and shook his head in disagreement with the proposal.
However, at this time, unidentified insect sounds began to emanate from the surrounding residential area, and neighbors reported the withering of vegetables in nearby fields. In response, Teruaki and Shogo conducted an investigation at Mt. Zudono. They observed that nearby trees were withering, and more importantly, in an area previously without caves, a large hole had appeared.
While the two were observing, a Young Zugugan suddenly leapt out of the hole, resulting in Teruaki getting injured while protecting Shogo. They had no choice but to hastily escape to a nearby concealed thicket to evade the Young Zugugan's attacks. During their escape, Shogo inquired whether Teruaki had consistently been involved in such work, expressing concern about the perilous tasks Teruaki was undertaking in dealing with monsters. As they found themselves surrounded by multiple Young Zugugan, SKaRD promptly arrived on the scene, rescuing them from the dangerous situation.
Following the incident, SKaRD initiated an investigation into Zugugan, and the villagers of Nakaboshi Town sought refuge at the Nagura family residence. As dusk fell, Shogo and other residents gathered at home to observe the joint battle of Ultraman Blazar and Earth Garon against Zugugan. Witnessing SKaRD's active involvement and Teruaki's performance, Shogo began to understand his son's dedication to this line of work, abandoning the insistence on persuading him to return to their hometown. 
After the battle against Zugugan concluded, he and Masaaki watched as Teruaki left the town, subsequently returning to agricultural labor. A while later, as he worked on the farm and witnessed the revitalized soil, he recalled Teruaki's efforts in protecting the land. Grateful for his son's actions, he was moved to tears.
