In the past, Ritsuko was married to a man who was a pilot in GUARD. However, he died in battle against the Radical Destruction Bringer.
When Atsuko was suspended from XIG due to her trance, Ritsuko silently took care of her at home and became acquainted with Kajio, who came to investigate. After learning that Atsuko had fallen into the Phantom Trap of Psycho Mezard II, Ritsuko cooperated with Kajio to go to the amusement park to rescue Atsuko. They finally succeeded in persuading Atsuko that Lilia's existence was just an illusion.Lilia's Maze
Later, when Ritsuko was recalling memories of her late husband at the location of his death in the bay area, she and Yuki were accidentally captured by the appearing Gokigumon. When Team Seagull went to rescue the victims in the building, Ritsuko decided to sacrifice her chance to be rescued to ensure the successful rescue of the girl. However, as Gokigumon laid eggs in the room, Ritsuko gradually lost consciousness and was in danger. Being trapped inside the building, Kajio also hesitated when attacking Gokigumon, but with the overall situation in mind, he launched a flamethrower with Ritsuko's consent. With the assistance of Ultraman Gaia, Ritsuko was rescued by Kajio just in time before the building collapsed.The Demon's Cocoon
