Ichiro

Ichiro is Kikaider 01 in the tokusatsu, manga, and anime Kikaider 01. Though created before Kikaider, Kikaider 01 is the second in the series to be activated. While supporting Kikaider in the manga and anime, Kikaider 01 is the protagonist of his own Tokusatsu series.

Ichiro
Ichiro is Jiro's "older brother", the first Kikaider built by Komyoji in case of dire emergencies. Named after the fact that he is the oldest brother (Ichiro means first born brother while Jiro and Saburo means second and third). Ichiro/01 is solar-powered, and becomes weak in the dark. Unlike his younger brothers, Ichiro has a complete conscience circuit which can sometimes bring more harm than good due to him being unable to harm the weak. However, despite having a complete conscience circuit, Ichiro has shown free will. He plays a trumpet & rides a motorcycle and sidecar called the "Double Machine". While Ichiro/01 is said to be twice as strong as Jiro originally was (before his upgrade in the original series episode 35) and has a complete conscience circuit, he is less developed than Jiro in every other capabilities such as eyesight, hearing and fighting styles. In terms of strength, Ichiro has well over 3,000,000 horsepower.
