The Science Patrol

• Captain Toshio "Cap" Muramatsu (村松利夫 ,Muramatsu Toshio Taicho^?): The Science Patrol's leader. He is known as Captain Mura in the US version.
  • Age: 36 years old
  • Actor: Akiji Kobayashi

• Daisuke Arashi (嵐 大助 ,Arashi Daisuke^?): The Science Patrol's rotund tough-guy marksman.
  • Age: 26 years old
  • Actor: Iyoshi Ishii

• Mitsuhiro Ide (井出光浩 ,Ide Mitsuhiro^?): The Science Patrol's somewhat comical inventor. Although he sometimes feels that Ultraman's intervention makes his role useless, his inventions have occasionally been critical in saving the day such as helping the superhero defeat particularly formidable monsters. He is known as Ito in the US version.
  • Age: 24 years old
  • Actor: Masanari Nihei, also known as Masanori Nihei

• Akiko Fuji (藤 明子 ,Fuji Akiko^?): The Science Patrol's radio/communications operator, and ostensibly their token female member. However, in most adventures, Fuji proves to be the most level-headed and capable member after Hayata.
  • Age: 24 years old
  • Actor: Hiroko Sakurai

• Isamu Hoshino (星野 勇 ,Hoshino Isamu^?): A little boy. The Science Patrol's unofficial mascot, he gets to hang out with the full-fledged members and is even issued a uniform later on. He often gets into trouble, and sometimes Ultraman would have to save him. He is known as Hoshino Fuji in the US version, which describes him as Akiko Fuji's younger brother.
  • Age:: 11 years old
  • Actor:: Akihide Tsuzawa

• Shin Hayata/Ultraman (早田 進/ウルトラマン ,Hayata Shin/Urutoraman^?): The Science Patrol's brave, no-nonsense deputy captain. His life changed irreversibly when Ultraman accidentally crashed into his "Delta VTOL" with his TravelSphere and killed him, destroying both ships. To make amends, Ultraman merges his own lifeforce into that of the Earthman before the brain functions of the latter are irreversibly terminated, thus reviving him. He then gives Hayata the microphone-like device called the Beta Capsule, with which he can transform into Ultraman by depressing a red push-button switch on its side with his thumb to ignite it.
  • Age: 26 years old
