The captain of the armory is the leader of the troubled young troops. He is usually a gentle, optimistic, friendly and trustworthy elder brother. He has strong physical fitness and sometimes teaches Haruki very strictly in the dojo.

Aoyagi Takaya's message

I first heard that I was wanted to play Shota Snake last summer. To be honest, I hesitated for about two seconds! Then, after about two seconds, I felt the excitement gushing out of my body. When I heard the word "captain", I was full of question marks again, and it took about two seconds to understand. From the initial shock to the final decision, it didn't even take me more than ten seconds. No thought can beat "I want to create a work with those people!"

Ultraman Orb made me what I am today. I have more friends because of this work. I am even more honored to have fans who always support me. I hope to express my thoughts to everyone through Ultraman Zeta.

The newly appeared Ultraman Zeta is the apprentice of Ultraman Zero, the son of Seven. He has three forms, and his human form is played by the young Japanese actor Hiroshu Hirano.
