Jiro

Jiro's stomach opened for repairs

Jiro was created to destroy the Dark Destruction Corps. To fight the DCC's robotic monster's Jiro transforms into Kikaida, the mechianical man (Kikai means machine).

Jiro fighting the flute

Jiro has one weakness, his conscience circuit is incomplete and whenever Professor Gill plays his flute (which causes all DCC robots to become more aggressive) Jiro becomes violent. Under the domination of this flute Jiro will turn against his friends. However, if Jiro can find some way to block the sound of the flute he can transform into Kikaida, the flute has no power over Kikaida. Jiro's conscience circuit could be completed by Dr Komoyoji's daughter, Mitsuko, but he won't let her, because "My heart is a motor and my brain is a computer. I don't want you to see that."

Jiro playing guitar

When Jiro rescues whoever the Dark is attacking he almost always anounces his presence by playing his guitar, the sound of which annoys the agents of the Dark.

Jiro Changing Into Kikaida

There are electromagnetic bands on both of Jiro's wrists. Contacting the auxilary computer on both his shoulders releases the energy need for Jiro to transform into his battle form, Kikaida.
