She appears not as the silver and red Ultra person, she is most commonly known as, but manifests as a talking star. However, later manga chapters has her appear in her more familiar form, making it unclear for now whether this was her travel sphere, or a retcon as later chapter are more in line with the Television show than the earlier chapters and there are flashbacks of ancient Ultras.

At the start of the series, Mother sent two disguised Ultra Brothers to capture a kaiju hiding as a dog. When the beast went on its rampage, and nearly killed Kotaro and a young boy. They were saved when Mother contacted Kotaro in a limbo state, warning him of the coming age of monsters and transforming the young man into Ultraman Taro.

Trivia

Mother of Ultra

Mother of Ultra's first appearance

  • In her first appearance against the Sun, the suit used was modified from Triple Fighter, with Ultraman's mask added on, hence its bizarre and off-looking appearance compared to her normal suit, which was unfinished at the time of filming Ultraman Taro's first episode.
    • The suit was complete in time for her next major appearance in episode 3.
  • Mother of Ultra's human form, the Lady in Green, was portrayed by Peggy Hayama, who was also the voice actress for her in Ultraman Taro.
  • Because Mother of Ultra's suit actor in Ultraman Taro was a man, Tsuburaya did not credit the actor, fearing that the information would "break the children's dreams". Since Taro, all of Mother of Ultra's suit actors have been female.
  • In Ultraman Taro, she shouts the names of her attacks before using them, like her son.
  • In Ultraman Mebius: Anderes Horizont novel, it was the Mother of Ultra that saved Dan Moroboshi from Silverbloome when MAC was destroyed. Originally Zoffy was planned to be the one who would save Dan.
  • In the extra episode of Clannad After Story, Mother of Ultra was referenced by Nagisa.
