In the games

Medarot 1

Taiyo is the Captain of the Select Corps, but secretly is also the leader of the RoboRobo Gang as Typhoon.

He appears for the first time at the Medal Digging Site to help Reika against Hikaru Agata but ends up losing to the young boy. He is later seen judging the RoboRobo Gang's internal competition where Hikaru infiltrated and won; not recognizing the boy he awarded the winner with Conductor's Baton, Boss' photo and Monkey Medal.

After several of the RoboRobo Gang's plans failed thanks to Hikaru, Taiyo entered the National Tournament as himself. He initially kidnaps Beauty but is confronted by Hikaru. Taiyo faces Hikaru in the tournament finals and loses.

After his defeat, Taiyo begins his final plan, the Ten Days of Darkness. A large number of Medarots went berserk due to the radio waves transmitted by the RoboRobo gang at the Select Corps Headquarter.

Hikaru, with the help of his friends, defeats Taiyo's allies and the boy alone confronts the leader. Taiyo loses once again, and although he had a secret weapon called Beast Master, the powerful Medarot loses control by not obeying his command. Hikaru manages to defeat Beast Master, but the Select Corps' headquarters collapses due to Beast Master's rampage and destruction.

Taiyo and Hikaru are rescued by aliens. However, his refusal to acknowledge its existence causes Taiyo to fall to the ground. Although his life was spared, he was captured and was taken away screaming that there were aliens, which exposed him in a shameful manner.

Although Taiyo didn't appear again after this event, his actions created a legacy in the following games. With RoboRobo Gang continuing to exist with different leaders, his Beast Master continued to be upgraded into powerful new Medarots used by the villains and his Ten Days of Darkness is what motivated Dr. Medarot to come up with the idea of Hikaru becoming Phantom Retort and preventing medals from falling into the wrong hands.

In the manga

Medarot 1

Taiyo's role remains consistent with the game: he is the captain of the Select Force and secretly the leader of the RoboRobo Gang, known as Typhoon.

In the manga, however, Taiyo also holds the title of current world champion. To expedite his opportunity to face Hikaru Agata, who had thwarted the RoboRobo Gang's plans multiple times, he attacked Tawarama, hospitalizing her and allowing Hikaru to advance directly to the tournament's finals.

Tawarama wakes up in time to reveal the true identity of her attacker, but this doesn't prevent Typhoon from using his secret weapon, Beast Master, to attack Hikaru's Metabee and destroy his medal.

Later, as Taiyo and the rest of the RoboRobo Gang initiate the Ten Days of Darkness plan, he is confronted again by Hikaru and his friends. In addition to Beast Master, Taiyo also uses the duo Blackmail and Heal Angel, complicating the battle for Hikaru. However, Beast Master goes out of control and destroys Blackmail and Heal Angel, who were meant to be his allies.

With the combined efforts of Rokusho and Metabee, Beast Master is ultimately destroyed, and Taiyo, along with the RoboRobo Gang, is arrested.
