Biography[]
As a private detective, Akira Suzumura and his assistant Akemi spent most of their time taking jobs to search for missing pets. One day however, Akira was contacted by a local elementary school and asked to search for several children who had gone missing while attending there. Through his investigation, Akira stumbled onto an alternate world known as the Dark Dimension, home to a race of evil creatures called the Dark Zide who were kidnapping children from the school to drain their life energy "Larmu". This led to Akira getting caught in a Dark Zide attack on a truck belonging to the SAIDOC organization, leading him to be showered by the Crystal Power particles that were originally intended for Katsuhiko Hayami. Through this, Akira gained the power to use the Chan Visor to become Changerion and battle against the Dark Zide monster Gingar, who he discovered was posing as a teacher at the school. Akira defeated Gingar and saved the children, but not before the Dark Monster gathered enough energy to revive the Sacred Executives of Dark Zide.
