==History==
===Mirrorman===
Dr. Mitarai made contact with aliens, both people from the second dimension and the Invaders, and was made aware of the Invaders' plans to conquer Earth. He predicted the Invaders' attack and established SGM as a preventative measure. He also allied himself with Kyotaro's father, the original Mirrorman, who came to earth to defend it. 
When Kyotaro's father was killed by King Zaiger, he encouraged his mother to go into hiding while he raised Kyotaro so that the Invaders would not be able to target them. Kyotaro was raised by Mitarai without meeting his parents again. When the Invaders attacked in the 1980s, Mitarai informed Kyotaro of his identity and responsibility to defend the earth. 
Mitarai is targeted by the Invaders. At one point, he and Yuki are kidnapped, but SGM manages to free them. 
When Kyotaro first asks to join SGM, Dr. Mitarai denies him because he lacks the spiritual strength and reliance on others required for the job.
