Nice design by Tohl Narita, but I'm ashamed to say I don't know who this character is.
Looks like an alternate Ultra or some other character for a Tsuburaya series.
ADDENDUM:
I since been able to do some research and found that this is the design for the hero Human No. 1 from the tokusatsu series Assault! Human (1972), which was a co-production of Nippon TV and Union Motion Picture Company, and NOT a Tsuburaya production.
All 13 episodes of the series were live performances recorded at various locations around Japan and then broadcast on TV.
Unfortunately, the master tapes of the recordings were overwritten, and no copies are known to exist. That is why this series has never been released to home video. Assault! Human is considered a lost series.
Stills and some video footage that remains are mostly from private collections of people who attended the live performances.
Toho eventually acquired many of the gaijin suits for use in the 1973 television series Go! Greenman.

A question for everyone:
If you had a genie wish for ONE piece of lost media—like, a season finale that was never made for your favorite tv show, or a director’s cut of a film that was lost in a house fire, or a storyboard that was canned by a focus group:
What would it be?
Some notable mentions from the group chat to start us off—
- Sam Raimi Spider-Man 4
- Ralph Bakshi’s first concept for Cool World
- Guillermo del Toro’s vision of H.P Lovecraft’s ‘At the Mountain’s of Madness’
- the original super-cut of Event Horizon
