Michiru Ezaki

is one of the supporting characters of Ultraman Tiga. She is the daughter of Dr. Ezaki, a member of the TPC Space Development Agency, and the wife of Masami Horii.
==Personality==
After Michiru's father passed away, she initially displayed a great deal of distrust towards the members of TPC and GUTS. Due to the pain of losing a loved one and difficulty in coming to terms with it, she developed a defensive mindset towards people and things around her. During this period, her personality was quite pessimistic and she often expressed negative emotions and a short temper when communicating with others.
However, as time passed, Michiru gradually began to accept reality and face her own genuine emotional issues, which caused her personality to gradually transform into a more cheerful and delicate one. Even though she didn't often see Horii due to his busy schedule, she still wholeheartedly trusted him and GUTS. After becoming a mother, Michiru's personality became even more gentle and rational, making her a stronger woman.
==History==
===Ultraman Tiga===
Michiru is a member of the Space Development Center. In the past, due to her father Ezaki's commitment to work, she was estranged from her father since childhood. When she received news of her father's death, she felt a deep sense of despair. After experiencing negative emotions, she was left feeling lost and without motivation. She then decided to go to her father's former observation center in search of a sense of belonging. If she disappeared from her father's workplace, perhaps her father's spirit would pay attention to her.
During the Magnia incident, Michiru was on her way to the observation center when she was affected by the mist. She was almost enslaved by nearby residents but was unexpectedly rescued by Horii, who came to investigate. When the residents began to attack them, the three of them fled desperately in the mist, and Michiru and Horii eventually arrived at the observation center. Upon arriving there, she began to tell her story and mentioned that she had read a horror novel about the world being shrouded in fog, which made her believe that everything would be destroyed. 
However, she was eventually persuaded by Horii's words and actions. She learned that her father had fought until the very end without giving up and tIn the face of danger, he also found the hope of "surviving", and was able to save himself and Horii.
Before leaving, she kissed Horii on the cheek. The observation center became the place where she started her life anew. 
Later on, Michiru began to date Horii frequently. However, during one of their dates, Horii had to prioritize his work to investigate a power outage. When Horii went to the Space Development Center to carry out the investigation, he met Michiru again. However, he still put his work first and ignored Michiru's feelings.
When Michiru saw Horii communicating with Sayaka Ijuin, she misunderstood their relationship and became emotional. However, when Metamorga attacked the Space Development Center to seize high-purity energy, she saw Sayaka entering the document room containing Evolu cells. At Sayaka's request, she agreed to help her find the information. Even when the document room was sealed, she persistently sought help.
When Horii went to rescue them, he managed to enter the data room where Michiru and Sayaka were trapped. However, after the battle, Michiru was pinned under a shelf while protecting the two of them. Horii could only carry her on his back and escape.
After the Metamorga incident, upon hearing Sayaka say to believe in the "light in people's hearts," Horii walked over to Michiru and hugged her, officially confessing his feelings for her. At the end of the story, the two of them got married, with TPC, GUTS, and Sayaka, among others, in attendance to congratulate them as they took a step towards a bright future.
At first, she was dissatisfied with Horii's busy work, but after the Metamorga incident, she and Horii eventually married. 
===Ultraman Dyna===
After getting married, her surname changed to "Horii" and she moved to Osaka with Horii, who retired from GUTS. They had two children: Tsugumu and Mirai. However, Michiru still couldn't speak Kansai dialect well. Due to her strong impression of GUTS in the past, she often confused GUTS with Super GUTS.
Based on her past experiences, she not only acted as a homemaker but also assisted her husband. Even when Horii was busy with work and neglecting the family, she would explain to the children that "Daddy is a great person." However, during a trip to Mt. Rokko with the children, she accidentally witnessed the appearance of Geomos and saw Super GUTS and Ultraman Dyna stop the monster's actions. When the children went missing, she felt extremely anxious.
In the final battle in Osaka, she reunited with her children who had come to return the Lieflasher to Dyna. After witnessing the successful cooperation between Super GUTS and GUTS, she reunited with Horii. Finally, the family traveled together to various places in Kobe.
