Ultraman: Rising

Kenji "Ken" Sato, a professional but egotistical baseball player, returns to his native home in Japan, despite being on the verge of a championship win in America. Reporter Ami Wakita attributes his sudden departure to rumored unfinished family business. But secretly, Ken is returning to Japan to battle kaiju (giant monsters) as the giant superhero Ultraman, a mantle he reluctantly accepts from his father, Professor Sato. After a battle with the monster Neronga, Ken feels under appreciated after citizen complaints. Ken vents that he never wanted to become Ultraman and reminisces about his mother Emiko, who's gone missing recently.
