The character
In the ULTRAMAN manga, written by Eiichi Shimizu and drawn by Tomohiro Shimoguchi, serialised in Monthly Hero's from 2011 to 2020 and published in English by VIZ Media since 2015, Rena Sayama is a rising pop idol and the adopted daughter of Yosuke Endo, a detective with the Tokyo police. Her birth name is Marie, and her birth parents were not human. Bemular gives her a suit of her own, the Marie Suit, built for defence.
On screen
The anime, made for Netflix and released in three seasons between April 1, 2019 and May 11, 2023, gives her thirty-one episodes. She is voiced by Sumire Morohoshi in Japanese and by Tara Sands in English.
The name
The published material calls her suit the Marie Suit, and English coverage of the series attaches the title Ultrawoman to her. The claim that she turns that title down and calls herself Ultragirl rests on the Ultraman Wiki, a fan-maintained source, and has not been found in the Japanese-language record. This page reports it as what it is: the reason she is on the roster, and a claim with one source behind it.
