Jiro

"Change, Switch On! 1,2,3!!!"

- Jiro's Transformation Call

Jiro (ジロー Jirō?) was created by Dr. Komyoji, and his daughter Mitsuko Komyoji, for the purpose of defending the outside world from the evils of Professor Gill and the DARK organization. He is unlike other androids because Dr. Komyogi created him with a "conscience circuit". The conscience circuit allows Jiro to have a conscience, unlike most of his other android "brothers", which allows Jiro to discern good orders from bad and was supposed to keep him from being controlled by Professor Gill. However, the conscience circuit was incomplete and originally made Jiro susceptible to Gill's flute (which, when played, causes most robots without a conscience circuit in the area, to go berserk). Jiro, however, is capable of resisting Gill's flute playing by transforming into his Kikaider persona, and later matured to the point where even in his human form, resisted the flute when it`s power was increased by three hundred times. Jiro also owns a guitar that he always plays to announce his presence.

Personality
Jiro is a selfless and courageous person at heart. Along with being very loyal, Jiro is very mature despite technically being quite young around his series. Although he was sometimes tricked or betrayed by others, he nonetheless forgives them if they`re truly sorry for what they have done. Jiro also seems be quite a ladies man as he managed to draw the interest of women on a few accounts. While having to fight Dark`s minions, Jiro seems to feel at least some pity for them despite being enemies. He also cried at Moon Dew`s death showing how much he can care for others. Despite having a few problems in the past, Jiro optimistically chose to keep on living his life even after serving his original purpose. This is noteworthy as he seemed to finally accept himself for who he is as well as became more than his programming.

Abilities and Arsenal
Kikaider is Jiro's alternate form, a powerful battle android that has well over 1,500,000 horsepower with a "heart" who fights to protect the world from Professor Gill and the DARK organization. His outer shell is half-blue and half-red because of his incomplete conscience circuit (if it was complete he would only be blue, as blue signifies "good" in the Japanese culture).


 * Sidemachine: Jiro's motorcycle that comes with a sidecar. Jiro is able to control it through remote control.
 * Air Craft: Kikaider has rocket boots in the soles of his feet which allow him to jump great distances and grant him the power of flight.
 * Suction Powers: Jiro can easily walk on walls with his feet as if they were the ground.

Attacks

 * Denji End: Kikaider's signature attack. An electromagnetically-charged cross karate chop which cleaves apart robots and fries their circuitry.
 * Double Chop: Kikaider's Two-Handed karate chop. This attack can sever a limb of an opponent.
 * Giant Swing Throw: Kikaider grabs Professor Gill's Androids and lifts them up over his shoulders, tossing the androids into the air spinning around several times, and then hitting them hard on the ground.
 * Spinning Attack: Kikaider jumps on top of the opponent after knocking them down and proceeds to beat them.
 * Kikaider Log Spin: Kikaider grabs a log then uses it to deflect projectile weapons such as shurikens.
 * Super Clean: A water based move. Kikaider gets inside the water then spins around cleansing it.
 * Red Beam: A beam that shoots out of Kikaider`s eyes which shows if or not the target is in a disguise.
 * Feather Return: A move in which Kikaider returns a barrage of weapons back onto the opponent.

 * Escape Screw: Kikaider musters his strength then breaks whatever is keeping him binded.
 * Repair Ability: An automatic self repair ability.

Team Attacks
There are attacks that Jiro can only perform when with Kikiader 01 and/or Bijinder. One of the dangers of using these attacks is that the combined energy could overload and destroy the bodies of the androids if not released fast enough.
 * Double Brother Power: Kikaider and 01 link together and fire powerful twin bolts of energy.It was first used on Episode 18 to destroy Giant Devil.
 * Kikaider Triple Circle Power: The three androids link their arms, jump into the air and spin at high speed destroying the target. It was first used on the Final Battle.
