Opening Theme
Mitsuya, Ishin comes
to the rescue of a Dragon Condor and its unhached egg. He's killed in
the process. He's brought back to life when the egg hatches and the
baby dragon merges with his body. Unfortunantly this new Mistsuya,
Ishin has no memory of past life and so when returning to Japan he does
not recognize his family and friends.
The Dragon Condor
gives Mistsuya, Ishin the power to transform into the masked hero
Condorman, with the words "Condor...Man".
When monsters disguise
themselves as humans Condorman can see through the disguises with
"Condor Eye". Mitsuya, Ishin can also use this power. As either
Mitsuya, Ishin or Condorman he can telepathically link himself with a
bird so he can see what it sees. He also understands what birds say
when they chirp.
Condorman is armed
with feather shapped throwing daggers, "Condor Arrows". His monster
killing powers are "Condor Hurricane" and "Shock Punch". He can also
summon lightning, "Condor Thunder". In the later episodes Condorman
learns to fly and can actually transform into a dragon. In dragon form
he has "Golden Beam" and "Dragon Fire".
Condorman drove this great looking car, Mach
Condor.
Condorman like
Rainbowman has an older mentor with magical powers. It is this man who
(at the adult dragon's suggestion) casts the spell which merges the
spirit of the baby dragon with the body of Mistsuya, Ishin.
Condorman gives a
group of children golden feather pins which they can use to summon him.
He calls this group "Condor Jr".
Condorman battles some really strange monsters.
They represent human evils from littering to greed.
Ikeda, Shunsuke

older brother. Izu, Hajime (Doctor Komyoji in Jinzo Ningen
Kikaida) guest stars in episode 21.
