==Trivia==
*As part of his suit acting, Nakamura also received the suit for Tiga's Sky Type made to his body size. The suit never saw its use for the series' filming, save for the initial opening scene.
*As part of Shinya Hashimoto's guest role in Ultraman Gaia, it was the late Hirochika Muraishi who suggested Nakamura to held a sparring match with the real life wrestler himself prior to the recording of the actual filming.
*The final two episodes of Tiga were recorded at the same time when filming for the first episode of Ultraman Dyna took place. Because of this, Nakamura was the only suit actor to present in Tiga, as Shunsuke Gondo was busy filming for Dyna at that time.
*Koji Nakamura mentioned that his most favorite role in the suit acting was Evil Tiga. This was due to the fact that the evil Ultra was intended to be Tiga's opposite, hence he was given a lot of liberty in terms of body movements. Nakamura in particular chooses a certain Hong Kong film that was popular at that time as inspirations for the evil Ultra's fighting style.
*Nakamura was a posing supervisor for Ultraman Gaia Super Supreme Version's debut at Ultra Heroes EXPO 2023 Summer Festival.https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/film-tv/20230812-128951/
