## Behind the Scenes

### Portrayal

Ultraman Tiga's suit actors are Shunsuke Gondo (権藤俊輔, *Gondō Shunsuke*) and Koji Nakamura (中村 浩二, *Nakamura Kōji*). Ultraman Tiga is voiced by Yuji Machi (真地 勇志, *Machi Yūji*) in most of his appearances. In *Ultraman Tiga: The Final Odyssey* and *Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers*, Tiga's voice is instead provided by Hiroshi Nagano (長野 博, *Nagano Hiroshi*), who portrays Tiga's human host Daigo Madoka in the series.

## Notes

* In recent media after *Great Decisive Battle! The Super 8 Ultra Brothers*, Tiga's grunts for Zeperion Beam have oddly been swapped with the ones used for Deracium Beam Torrent.
