Takeshi Endo

is a guest character who appeared in Ultraman Dyna. He is an elementary school student.
==Personality==
Takeshi is a boy who is accustomed to exaggeration and boasting, but in most cases, he doesn't intentionally lie. He does this because he craves attention and often fabricates stories about "encounters with Aliens or UFO" to attract people's attention. However, when he encounters a genuine event, he approaches it with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of justice, striving to uncover the truth behind the matter.
He seems to have a keen interest in astronomy and he has purchased a large number of airplane models.
==History==
===Ultraman Dyna===
When Takeshi first makes his appearance, he falsely claims to his friends that he has found debris from a crashed UFO. However, when they see through his lie, he becomes furious and throws firecrackers at the two of them. This also leads to him being scolded by his mother after he returns home. When Takeshi gets back to his room, he sees something resembling a shooting star falling from the sky. Believing it to be a real UFO, he rushes toward the crash site, only to discover three suspicious middle-aged men there. Then, when one of them sneezes, his face briefly transforms into an Alien's face.
Later, Takeshi observed through the window as he saw three men moving massive cargo inside the factory. He also discovered that behind the factory's windows, a monster was being manufactured. After Super GUTS received Takeshi's report, Asuka and Kariya were dispatched to the scene to investigate. The three men claimed to be the owners of the Pikapen Toy Factory and showed them the monster toys produced in the factory. Despite Takeshi's assertion that it was a monster factory, Super GUTS ultimately found no real monsters. Takeshi continued to insist on his belief and moved towards the window, but he was immediately apprehended by Asuka and taken away from the scene.
Shortly after, Kariya and Asuka escorted Takeshi back home. They also learned about Takeshi's daily life from his mother. At the same time, Asuka developed a strong interest in the manga in Takeshi's room and secretly took the manga home, leaving Takeshi bewildered. That night, Takeshi went to the factory alone to collect evidence. After discovering that the wall behind the factory was fake, he confirmed that the men were actually manufacturing a large monster. When he was discovered by these individuals, Takeshi used marbles to make them fall, successfully escaping from the factory. He then used a public phone to contact Super GUTS once again.
Although Asuka didn't believe Takeshi's story, Takeshi used the fact that Asuka had secretly taken the manga home as leverage. He threatened her with, "If you don't return it immediately, I'll sue you!" and demanded that Asuka come to the scene.
Asuka and Takeshi entered the factory once again. When they checked behind the factory's windows, the fake wall was revealed, and the men also disclosed their true identities to them. It turned out they were Alien Miji, who had manufactured a special combat mechanical monster called Garaon in order to colonize Earth, which possessed abundant resources.
As the sun began to rise, the Alien Miji were admiring the beautiful dawn on Earth. At that moment, Takeshi dropped a firecracker and successfully escaped the scene with Asuka. The generator of the defense shield was damaged due to a stray shot from the Alien Miji, revealing the secrecy of the hidden factory. The Alien Miji boarded the incomplete head of Garaon and took off.
After asking Takeshi to leave the scene, Asuka transformed into Ultraman Dyna. He endured Garaon's fierce attacks, reading the opponent's movements and successfully evading them. With the assistance of Super GUTS, he eventually regained balance and defeated Garaon.
Later, upon Asuka's advice, he told his mother that he would become an honest child. However, when his friends came to find him, he claimed to be the transformation of Ultraman Dyna, leaving Asuka very confused and thinking that he had not really reflected on his actions.

==Trivia==
*According to Tsugumi Kitaura, the director responsible for episode 13, Takeshi was initially planned to be a timid boy. However, Kitaura believed that "losing some interesting elements after changing his mind in the end" and thought that "letting children maintain their innocence and live resiliently" might be better. As a result, Takeshi's character was ultimately set as a boy who tells lies. Risaku Kiridoshi, Earth is ULTRAMAN'S Star pg. 302
