==History==
===Past===
A young Taro wanted to join the Ultra Brothers but his parents thought that he was still too young and inexperienced. As a result, he started training with his father, though he also went to school, where he met Tregear and became his friend. As they went through school together, they also had multiple adventures.
Out of curiosity, Tregear brought Taro to an off-limits area, locked behind bars. Tregear was unable to get in himself and manipulated Taro into breaking the two of them in. They then saw a pillar which played footage from the Ultimate Wars, and realized it was a tomb. They got in trouble at school the next day but Taro decided to stand up and admit their mistakes for the both of them, which Tregear secretly admired. Throughout their time in school, Taro became a symbol of light to Tregear, who continued to explore things such as night, darkness, loneliness, and fear, which he could only learn from the library, since the Land of Light had none of those. Tregear had written a poem of Taro, though he thought little of it beyond seeing Tregear's talent for poetry.
At some point, they had an adventure on , where there were rumors of giant monsters. The rumors were confirmed to be true as they were attacked by monsters called in a cave, though they also discovered a dome-like space. There, he discovered a sort of primordial soup of life and more importantly, indecipherable ancient cosmic writings, which intrigued Tregear. The monsters they fought released pink leech-like organisms that could assimilate the DNA of other lifeforms; Tregear immediately realized the threat if they were to assimilate them and leave the planet in the spaceship he and Taro arrived in. Having been caught by the creature, Tregear told Taro to save the villagers first and not hesitate in such a critical moment. Taro, not wanting anyone to be sacrificed, used his Ultra Dynamite to instantly burn away the giant monster and the substances within, and destroyed another one with his Strium Beam. 
After graduating from school, Taro went on to become a member of the Inter Galactic Defense Force, making it through their training regimen. Tregear tried and failed to join, so Taro urged him to join the .
Taro also watched battle footage of other members of the Ultra Brothers. After Taro successfully absorbed the energy of his parents, he was sent to Earth to defeat Enmargo. Later, Taro would fuse with the other Ultra Brothers and defeat Grand King, causing Juda to go into hiding. After all this, his parents allowed him to become one of the members of the Ultra Brothers. 
===Ultraman Taro===
Taro was sent to Earth 7 years after Ultraman was. Unlike many other Ultras, he didn't go to Earth. The human that was chosen for him, who recently joined ZAT, who was recently killed by Astromons was brought to him by the other Ultra Brothers. After the merger was complete, Kotaro Higashi was taken back to present-day Earth to be the human host of Taro, and as Astromons was ravaging a city when Kotaro turned into Taro. Not long after Astromons' defeat, Kotaro fought in a new era of Kaiju. Many foes young and old would threaten the Earth, but Taro and ZAT defeated them time and again with occasional help from the other five Ultra Brothers, from the weaklings to monsters only Taro could defeat. 
Taro went on to fight countless threats that faced the Earth, ranging from Mururoa encasing the Earth in darkness, to foiling Alien Mefilas II's attempt to take over the Earth with the help of the Mandarin Grass. Taro and the Ultra Brothers even managed to take down Alien Temperor, who had ambitions of subjugating both the Earth and the Land of Light.
Eventually, Alien Valky arrived on Earth with Samekujira, intent on using the Earth as a 'stadium' to show his prowess at hunting the creature as a guise for his true intentions, being to take over the planet. After Taro defeated Samekujira and briefly drove off Valky, Kotaro wanted to show the Ultras that he wanted to keep his humanity, by no longer wanting to be Taro's host. Kotaro returned the Ultra Badge to the Lady in Green, and his presence as Taro's host came to an end. However, not long after he gave the Ultra Badge back, Valky attacked Tokyo by surprise to get his revenge on Ultraman Taro, without knowing Kotaro had been separated from him, and that Taro had already began his journey home. Kotaro fought him with his own human abilities and managed to defeat him by blowing up a nearby gas tank, proving that he had become a capable fighter able to take on strong opponents, even in the absence of being a host. 
====Aftermath====
After Taro returned to the Land of Light, he visited Tregear and offered to help him work on a device he was inventing. Advising him on the "power of bonds", Tregear accepted the idea and wanted to name it the . However, Taro declined and decided to name it the Taiga Spark for the next generation, which Tregear agreed to. Taro also decided to call his son this name should he ever have one.
Taro had to leave once again to track down the remains of Yapool throughout the universe. 
At some point, Taro had a son who he named Taiga.
===The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. The Monster Army===
Taro joined the other Ultra Brothers in witnessing Mother of Ultra reviving Koh and transforming him into Hanuman. Later, during the battle against the monsters, Hanuman was overpowered, and sent out an SOS to the Ultra Brothers, who came to assist him in defeating the monster army. 
===Ultraman Mebius & the Ultra Brothers===
During the great battle against U-Killersaurus Neo, the Ultra Brothers and Ultraman Mebius were already running out of energy. However, suddenly two lights emerge from the darkness of the sky, and Captain Zoffy and Taro appear, descending from the sky.

After Mebius was trapped in the monster's claws, all the Ultra Brothers combined into one with Mebius, forming Mebius Infinity, and destroying U-Killersaurus and Yapool's reign of terror. 
===Ultraman Mebius===
Back in the Land of Light, Mebius was one of his students and Taro trained him to fight.
In the Temple of Light, Taro was about to head to Earth due to sensing a rising evil (Yapool's revival) but was stopped by Zoffy who commented that Taro should have more faith in his student and that Mebius was not alone, he was fighting with CREW GUYS. 
Taro later appeared on Earth to rescue Mebius, who disobeyed the command to return home and fought with Inpelaizer, causing Mebius to be severely injured. Taro appeared at the end when Mebius was too exhausted to maintain his Ultra form. After Mebius returned to human form, Taro dealt with the robot destroying its top half with the Strium Beam, but it was still operational and teleported away for repairs. Somehow Taro knew where it would appear next and sent a message to GUYS to prepare for this. Taro fought with GUYS but when their plan ultimately failed Taro was left to fight the machine alone. He refused to allow Mebius to transform, stating he had potential to become very powerful. Taro used the Ultra Dynamite but even that was not enough. Mebius transformed and fought with his teacher, convincing him to let him stay. With Mebius newly achieved Mebius Burning Brave, master and student destroyed the alien. Taro agreed to let Mebius remain on Earth. 
Taro later appeared with the other Ultra Brothers to free the sun from Alien Empera's darkness coating.

Ultraman Ribut returned to the Inter Galactic Defense Force alone from Planet Mikarito, reporting to Zoffy, Ultraman Taro and Ultraman Hikari that Ultraman Max had been infected with Gudis' cells and was being turned into a monster to feed Maga-Orochi's egg. Shortly after, Yullian, Sora and Ultraman 80 also arrived, and reported to him that a Leugocyte had attacked them at Planet Kanon. Taro advises Ribut to train at Planet K76 where Ultraman Zero once trained with Ultraman Leo and Astra. 
Upon Ribut's success of saving Max and defeating Maga-Orochi, Taro congratulated him, before deploying him to become part of the Galaxy Rescue Force. 
===Ultraman Ginga===
Prior to Ultraman Ginga, Ultraman Taro participated in the Dark Spark War but this time he fought not only alongside with the Ultra Brothers but, with the other Ultras that came from other universes and their allies against the evil side. In the War, Ultraman Taro faced his old enemy, Alien Temperor. While in the midst of their battle, Dark Lugiel turned every Ultra along with their allies, monsters and aliens into Spark Dolls. With the war over an unknown warrior appeared and faced Dark Lugiel but like others he was also turned into a Spark Doll but he was kept within his Ginga Spark and fell to the Earth, in Star Fall Town, alongside other Spark Dolls.
While on Earth, Taro tried to find a way to restore himself and during this time Misuzu Isurugi, one of the former Starry School students and priestess of the Ginga Shrine tried to restore him but to no avail.
One day, after witnessing Hikaru Raido's brave act for rescuing Misuzu, he suspects him for being the chosen one foretold by the Ginga Spark. He met Hikaru later that night, only to be mistaken as an action figure as he disappears. Hikaru goes to the Forest to meet Taro, only for him to disappear again. While trying to find Taro he met Misuzu Isurugi. While in mid-conversation, Taro appears and told them the History of the Dark Spark Wars and told Hikaru that he's the chosen one.
Hikaru tried the Ginga Spark on Taro, but like Misuzu before him, it failed and Taro is still sad that he can't turn big. Suddenly the Ginga Spark detected something and Hikaru pick it up and it's revealed to be Black King's Spark Doll. He scanned it and Ultra Lived into Black King. Just as Hikaru seemed to be having fun in his new form, he was ambushed by Thunder Darambia. Taro watches the fight and saw Hikaru start to lose, but Hikaru does not want to give up, causing the Ultraman Ginga Spark Doll to emerge, to Taro's surprise as he never saw that Ultra before. He then sees as Ginga defeats Darambia. 
Taro later saves Misuzu and Hikaru from a mad biker that would become Kemur Man. He even told Hikaru about the history of the Ultras to Hikaru while still having no idea on Ultraman Ginga's backstory. He would later accidentally get himself abducted by Tomoya Ichijouji/Jean-Killer, another of Dark Lugiel's servant until when he was freed after Tiga Dark assaulted them from behind. Taro managed to get them to safety but at the cost of all of his energies. After learning that Tomoya's life was always living under his father's shadow, Taro revealed that back in his childhood, he was scolded by the Father of Ultra due to his desire for following his footsteps. Though disappointed, but his mother cheered him up, motivated Taro to be more successful than his dad instead. 
When Hikaru was not able to transform due to the Ginga Spark being stolen, Taro attempts to use his powers against Zaragas, but the Kaiju easily swats Taro away. In the end, he was shocked to see Ultraman Dark assault Ginga. 
In the final episode of Ginga, Taro's curse is broken due to the hopes of everyone that want to revive the light in the Ginga Spark. Multiple Ginga Light Sparks hit the mark on his foot, and Taro was restored. Upon appearing in full size, Ultraman No. 6 engages Lugiel. Immediately in combat, Taro overpowers his opponent until Lugiel gets his hands back on the Dark Spark, and Taro fires the Strium Beam. He soon realizes that Ginga and Hikaru are the key to defeating Lugiel, and he sacrifices himself to revive Ginga, which he does.
After Ginga's victory, Taro bids Hikaru and friends farewell as he returns to Nebula M78. 
===Ultraman Ginga S===
As revealed in New Ultraman Retsuden episode 54, Taro detected a new oncoming threat from Hikaru's universe. The rest of the Ultra Brothers gave their powers to Taro as a sign of support, enabling him to transform into the Strium Brace, a new item that would give Ultraman Ginga his new form: Ultraman Ginga Strium. 
After his first appearance in the series, Taro had became the closest support to Ginga/Hikaru while in his time as a UPG member, with the other one that was aware of his existence was none other than Hikaru's friend Tomoya Ichijouji. Taro (Strium Brace) supported Ginga and Hikaru with his power and knowledge. After Ginga and Victory destroyed Vict Lugiel (the revived Dark Lugiel), Taro bids farewell to Hikaru and said if he ever needs help, give a call and he will there to help Hikaru and departed back to his world. It is also presumed that he had given back the other five Ultra Brothers powers back to their owners. 
===Ultraman Orb===
Despite not appearing in the series, Ultraman Taro was the one that sealed away Maga-Grand King, the Lord Monster of Earth, in ancient times, by using the Feng Shui concentration of 6 Dragon's Veins. Taro's Ultra Fusion Card was collected by Gai Kurenai after the defeat of the monster in present times and was used to assume Ultraman Orb's Burnmite form.
He did manifest in the real world via his Ultra Fusion Card to help Orb finish off the Ultimate Lord Monster, Magatano-Orochi, by firing his Strium Beam. 
===Ultraman Geed===
Taro was among the Ultra Warriors who fought against Belial and his army in the Omega Armageddon. However, Taro could only gaze at their failures as Belial succeeded in triggering the Crisis Impact, before Ultraman King sacrificed his life to undo the damage Belial had caused.
===Ultraman Geed The Movie: Connect the Wishes!===
Hearing of Gillvalis' actions, Taro went to Cyber Planet Kushia along with several Residents of the Land of Light. Taro nearly succeeded in destroying Gillvalis, but it teleported itself and the entire planet away. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: New Generation Heroes===
The Six Ultra Brothers had Katsumi Minato and Isami Minato in their Ultra forms transported to the Inter Galactic Defense Force Headquarters in the Land of Light, without them knowing what was going on. Taro welcomed them to the Land of Light. Taro explains that the Inter Galactic Defense Force sent Zero to protect Ultrawoman Grigio, who was being targeted by Ultra Dark-Killer, who Taro once defeated.https://m-78.jp/galaxy-fight/english/character-darkness.php He says that contact with Zero was lost, so they had guessed that Grigio had been kidnapped. Hearing this, the Minato brothers immediately fly off to search for their sister, without giving a chance for Taro to explain further. Because of that, he sent an Ultra Sign to Ultraman Ribut, telling him to help Rosso and Blu. When all the New Generation Heroes were gathered, everyone had a group discussion on what happened. Taro gave Ginga his power once more and transformed into Ginga Strium, before joining the New Generation Heroes in their Ultimate Forms during the final battle against Dark-Killer. Upon arriving at Planet Tenebris, Taro advised the New Generation Heroes into donating their light energy into the Strium Brace. With that, Ginga performs the New Generation Dynamite and destroyed Dark-Killer and the Dark Palace. 
===Ultraman Taiga===
12 years ago, Taro reappeared confronting his old friend Tregear near the Land of Light after the New Generation Ultras were defeated. He warned the Tri-Squad not to face against Tregear but Taiga, Titas and Fuma ignored and attacked him. When three of them were reduced into particles, an enraged Taro charges against Tregear. The two grappled, with Taro still trying to convince his former friend to rejoin him, which Tregear refused, reinforcing how he no longer believes in the light and the power of bonds.
===Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax===
Tregear sent one of his illusions to Planet Borges to lure out Taro, who offered to help him. Instead, Tregear rejected his offer and told him that Grimdo was heading to the Earth where Taiga is, making him fly off in a hurry. Just when Taiga, Rosso and Blu were about to be defeated by Grimdo, Taro appeared and fired his Strium Beam at the beast, and fought it. He used the Ultra Dynamite on Grimdo, falling into Tregear's trap as Grimdo had prepared to fuse with Taro after he had used the technique. The Grimdo-possessed Taro then defeated Taiga, Rosso and Blu before disappearing. Amused at his friend's fall to darkness, Kirisaki waited for the New Generation Heroes to regain their powers and fight them.
Taro interrupted the battle between the Tri-Squad and Tregear, with Titas and Fuma continuing on while Taiga dealt with Taro. After fusing into Tri-Strium, Taiga and Taro clash with their Ultra Dynamites, driving out Grimdo's darkness in the process. Taro is restored back to his usual self, which angered Tregear.
Taro tried to stop Tregear from giving himself to Grimdo but his pleas fall on deaf ears. He and the New Generation Heroes are no match for Grimdo, but he stalls the monster long enough for them to fuse into Ultraman Reiga, who defeats Grimdo using the Reiga Ultimate Blaster. Just before he dies, Tregear called out to Taro before he is destroyed along with Grimdo.
Taro and the Tri-Squad thank Hiroyuki Kudo and EGIS before they depart from the Earth. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Absolute Conspiracy Cont.===
Because of Absolute Tartarus going back in time, there were several alterations to Taro's past.
Taro returned to the Land of Light and greeted Tregear, having heard that his friend was coming up with a new invention. Taro offered Tregear his own data on bonds to complete the Astral Particle Conversion System. Taro wanted to give it a name, so he came up with "Taiga Spark", which Tregear accepted. Soon after, Taro had to leave for another mission.
Following Ultraman Hikari's fall to vengeance, Taro tried to console Tregear, reinforcing how he will always help him overcome the darkness, which ironically became the start of the two becoming more distant. Later, the two were investigating strange energy readings on Planter Deastar, when Night Fang was summoned by Absolute Tartarus, which Taro engaged in battle. At the same time, Tregear was being manipulated by Tartarus to join him as an ally, fully twisting his worldview when his future was revealed to him. As Taro finished off the Kaiju with the Ultra Dynamite, he fell, exhausted, and called out as his friend entered the golden warrior's portal. 
Far into the future, the Six Ultra Brothers encounter Juda and Mold on Satellite Golgotha, surprised by their appearance due to them being sealed by Ultramen Ginga, Victory and X in the past, before coming to reason that they were counterparts brought from a different point in time. The Ultra Brothers engaged them in combat and eventually destroyed them using the Cosmo Miracle Beam. However, they were soon faced by Ultraman Belial and Ultraman Tregear in their Early Style forms, and were defeated due to exhaustion from using the prior technique, as well as their enemies receiving the Absolutian power. Fortunately, Ultraman Zero arrived to stall them, but Absolute Tartarus blasted him aside, with the Ultra Brothers helping him up. 
They went back to the Inter Galactic Defense Force headquarters to discuss the situation and speculated that Absolute Tartarus' activities have created Parallel Isotopes of Belial and Tregear. Because of Zero's ability to travel through dimensions, the Inter Galactic Defense Force decided to send him out to deal with the situation. 
Taro sent Ultraman Ribut and Andro Melos from the Galaxy Rescue Force to help the Tri-Squad fight Zett and his Zetton Army on Planet Maijii. Together, they managed to defeat the Zetton Army while Taiga went to face Zett, forcing him to retreat after firing the Aurum Strium at him. Receiving a message from Taro, they all went to the Land of Light to regroup, where Ribut briefed the three of them on the situation with Absolute Tartarus. Taro informed the Tri-Squad that they would soon have to help Zero on the front lines to deal with Tartarus, and advised them to train until then. 
===Ultra Galaxy Fight: The Destined Crossroad===
Arriving on Planet King, Zoffy and Taro were granted the help of the Leo Brothers by King himself, before they went back to the Land of Light to discuss their plan of action.
After the rescue team had managed to secure Yullian and Ultraman Regulos from their imprisonment, they were sent to Planet Blizzard where a large gathering of Ultras were awaiting, just as the Absolutians pursued them. Taro fought his old friend Tregear until Taiga joined in. They battled him together until Taro left to join Mebius and the Ultra Brothers to fuse into Mebius Infinity, who disposed of the Absolutian reinforcements and closed the portal they came through before they defused into their components.
At the climax of the battle, Tartarus was overwhelmed by Zero with his new abilities. He decided to unleash his Absolute Maximum Destruction on the planet, but it was blocked by a barrier from Ultraman King, creating a wormhole from the impact. Ultraman Ribut created his own barrier to protect the other Ultras present, but he and Tartarus fell through the wormhole and into Ultraman Trigger's universe as a result.

==Other Media==
===Princess Comet: Kumiko Ohba===
He is an old friend of Princess Comet.
===Ultraman Taro Manga===
An Ultraman Taro manga was written and illustrated by Ken Ishikawa, a Mangaka (Manga Author) who co-created Getter Robo with Go Nagai. Like the Getter Robo manga series, the Taro manga is very dark and graphic despite its childish appearance, it also follows a different story.
===Commercials===
Taro appears in several commercials with the other Ultra Brothers and his parents. There is one where a young Taro goes out and buys cooking oil for his mother.
===Ultraman M78 Theater Love & Peace===
Although Taro himself does not have a starring role, he is one of the many Ultras and Kaiju who came to cheer up Seabozu with an orchestra/samba. 
===Imagin Anime===
Ultraman Taro shows up in the final episode of the Kamen Rider Den-O spin-off series Imagin Anime, "You Will Find the U*tra Planet". Ryutaros brings him in, introducing him as "Ultraman Taros" (a play on the Taros' names), intending on having him join them while the other Imagin are trying to stop Momotaros and his plan to take over the Toei Productions mascot spot. When that fails, Taro mentions that he doesn't want them to protect the future of the planet, something the other Taros' are happy to oblige to, going for the more smaller role of "protecting the future of Den-O". In a friendly gag between Tsuburaya and Toei, whenever Taro is referred to as an Ultra, the "L" in Ultra is always censored, with the letter even being bleeped out.
===New Ultraman Retsuden===
In episode 152, Ultraman Ginga presented viewers with an original clip which involves Ultraman Mebius sparing against his teacher, Ultraman Taro.
==Trivia==
*Ultraman Taro is the only Ultra Brother not to retain his human host, Kotaro Higashi, as Kotaro asked Mother of Ultra for his humanity to be returned, meaning Taro had to leave.
*Ultraman Taro is the first Ultra Warrior to share his voice actor with his human host's actor, Saburo Shinoda, who voices his grunts and speaking voice. Although, Saburo Shinoda only voiced for Taro in the Ultraman Taro TV series but his original stock grunts (especially the ones when he flies away after battles) are sometimes used in the battles that Taro joins in later appearances and in video games.
*While bonded to Kotaro, Ultraman Taro is one of the most quiet of Ultras in battle. During the time of his series, he almost never grunted or spoke at all aside from announcing the Strium Beam or other finishers, getting hurt, or when flying away. He was originally the most quiet Ultra until Ultraman 80 in the same name series would break his record, who almost never made grunts in battles except jumping or flying away and 80 sometimes grunted when getting hurt, later by Ultraman Powered in Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero would break his record, who also almost never made grunts even when injured, except when he flies away and he grunted once when firing the Mega Spacium Beam in episode 1. This too would be broken by a technical count with Ultraman Tiga in the 4Kids dub of the same name series, where Tiga was never voiced.
**Taro does become more talkative after his series.
*Ultraman Taro is the first Ultra Warrior whose human host was not chosen by himself.
*Ultraman Taro was meant to appear in Ultraman Leo like the other Ultra Brothers, but this decision was scrapped for unknown reasons, making him the only previous main Ultra in the series up to that point to not return in Ultraman Leo.
*Ultraman Taro's Strium Beam is the first Beam not to be formed in the traditional "+" or "L" shape. It was also the first beam fired from both hands at the same time and the first Beam which had the Ultra's body shining when charging energy.
*In some old magazines, Strium Beam (ストリウム/Sutoriumu) was written as (ストリューム/Sutoryūmu).
*Taro's body usually shines in a rainbow color when charging the Strium Beam, but this effect was not used after 23rd episode and in the movie. Magazines at the time explained that the colors were gone because of skill improvement. However, the effect has returned since Ultraman Mebius, suggesting that the previous explanation was removed via retroactive continuity.
*Despite Taro being the biological child of Mother of Ultra and Father of Ultra, he looks markedly different, and has many similarities to Ultraseven.
**Ultraman Taro is the first Ultra Warrior who was designed based on Ultraseven instead of Ultraman.
*The sound of Taro's Color Timer comes from Orange Fighter's warning sound in Triple Fighter.
*Taro's acrobatic flips when jumping around are a reference to his adopted brother, Ultraman Ace.
*Taro is the very first Ultraman to merge with another, as he fused with the previous Ultra Brothers in episode 25 of his debut series, Burn! The 6 Ultra Brothers!, and the movie Ultraman Story. Unlike newer fusion Ultras, Taro's overall appearance does not change as a result of the new form, but instead he retains his normal appearance but with his strength increased exponentially.
*Taro, along with Gomora, appeared in a background gag of Urusei Yatsura, when space succubae Ran believed that Lum had lost her horn, thus making her powerless. Taro, Gomora, and a slew of other horned beings ran by the camera as Ran screamed with joy.
*Taro himself appeared in a Super Sentai stage show, showing up to help a Kamen Rider and a Sentai team.
*Ultraman Taro along with Ultraman 80 are the only Ultra Brothers who did not have their human forms appear in Ultraman Saga.
*In the second half of Ultraman Ginga S, Taro was meant to be brainwashed by Exceller and become , similar to Ultraman Dark and Ultraseven Dark. These plans were later scrapped in favor of Dark Lugiel's return.
**Interestingly enough, the idea of a corrupted Taro would appear in the 2020 Ultraman Series movie, Ultraman Taiga The Movie: New Generation Climax.
*Taro's name was mistakenly subbed as "Ultimate Taro" by Crunchyroll during his Ultra Capsule Navi section in Ultraman Geed. Considering the previous Ultra showcased was Ultimate Zero, this is most likely a simple copy-paste error.:File:UltimateTaro.png
*Similar to Glitter Tiga, Super Ultraman Taro showcases a lasting glitter effect after his debut appearance.
*The prop used for Taro's original rising scene was modified for Ultraman 80's, which was then modified into Gridman's.
*In the collaboration episode of Upin & Ipin between Les Copaque and Tsuburaya Productions, Ehsan is wearing an Ultraman Taro mask.
