Joe Hibiki

Joe Hibiki is a graduate of Tokyo University. He had a negative view of the human race, but wound up with a revived passion for his job after encountering Hajime. He's a no-nonsense government employee by day, but when night falls, he takes on the role of a dart-loving "bad boy". He also has feelings for Hajime, though he tries to keep his distance.

Plot
A Tokyo University graduate who has been on the G-Crew for 10 years. He has feelings of despair and nothingness towards the human race and thinks the time-span of the world is limiting. However, after meeting Hajime, he revives his enthusiasm and passion for work and to be serious as well. He works for the "Living Safety Department" of the town hall during the day, while wearing glasses and maintaining a clean, handsome appearance. However, at night his hair falls down, removes his glasses and smokes, giving him a laid-back look. He calls Hajime "little lady" and himself an "old man". He has some interest in Hajime, but hides it by being distant towards her. His NOTE color is red, in relation to Joe the Condor's color. This is up for debate since Sugane's NOTE is black, also one of Joe the Condor's colors.

Abilities
Joe's Gatchaman form is a large black and orange iron Oni (Ogre or Demon) with wings, a flaming head with a red face, and hands and feet that can change into rockets for flight or guns for attacks.

Trivia

 * Joe's Gatchaman form of an Oni and his last name of Hibiki are not to be confused with the Kamen Rider of the same name.
 * His Flame Feather attack is a possible nod to Joe the Condor's famous feather shurikens.
 * His leather gloves and shuriken-style darts seem to be further nods to Joe Asakura, along with the fact that he has a friend named Alan.
