Michio was originally a resident of Tatsumiya Island, but about five years prior to the start of the series, he and his father Youji left in order to fight for the world's sake rather than just the island's. Since then, he has been an ace pilot of the Human Army and taken in and trained the young orphan Canon Memphis, whom he saved during the battle in Dublin, Ireland.

When he finally returns to the island, he proves himself a good guy, turning against the Human Army when they try to destroy Tatsumiya. He has been in love with Toomi Yumiko, one of his classmates, for all these years, and has been enduring the gradual decaying of his chromosomes from piloting his Fafner so that his father could research his cells and find ways to extend the lives of all Fafner pilots. When he comes back to settle on Tatsumiya, he and Yumiko are finally able to find a bit of happiness together in the midst of their battle-rifed lives.

Michio is the pilot of the Fafner Mega Therion (not a Nothung model like those used on Tatsumiya Island), but later pilots the Mark I. His nickname in the Human Army is &quot;666&quot; (pronounced &quot;Triple Six&quot;). His father is stationed at the New United Nations' Moldova Base and his mother remained on Tatsumiya Island but was killed along with Kuramae Karin in the first Festum attack.

Tatsumiyajima is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island's young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught... but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity's continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind.

Second season of Soukyuu no Fafner: Exodus.

Tatsumiya Island is a small, idyllic haven for those lucky enough to call it home...until a surprise attack by a savage enemy shakes the water-locked paradise to its core. With Festum on the warpath, it's up to the island's dedicated inhabitants to pilot powerful Fafners and fight back! Before the gun smoke clears, illusions will be shattered and lifelong friendships will be stretched to their limits. Will this peaceful island survive the chaos of all-out war? Fafner- Dead Aggressor is a full-throttle fight in the name of defending peace and defeating evil! When a group of friends gears up to take on vicious Festum attackers, there's no telling who will become a hero...and who will be sacrificed to the ravages of battle. Life as they know it is on the line, and these brand-new soldiers learn to trust their instincts (and one another) in order to man their Fafners with fearless skill. Man and machine unite to take down all invaders...and save the homeland!
