Ultraman's central characters were created by Eiji Tsuburaya from Tsuburaya Productions, a pioneer in special effects who was responsible for bringing Godzilla to life in 1954. In return, Hayata serves as the human form for this being, and whenever danger threatens, and the resources of the Science Patrol are not enough to counter it, he raises and activates a device called the Beta Capsule and transforms to Ultraman to save the day.

Feeling remorse for having killed the human, he merges his essence with Hayata to revive him. The sphere turns out to be the transport (Travel Sphere) for a red-and-silver giant being who calls himself Ultraman.

The first series begins when SSSP member Shin Hayata is flying his plane and a red sphere of light crashes into his Sub VTOL. 3.1 SSSP/United Nations Scientific Investigation Agency.
