Biography[]
Uchuu Keiji Gavan[]
Gavan was born to Space Sheriff Voicer and an Earth woman named Tamiko Ichijouji, but only decide to use his mother's surname as Retsu Ichijouji while on Earth. He was only sent to Earth by Commander Qom in order to investigate Makuu's activity here. However, his assistant and love interest Mimi and later Qom's assistant Marin often joins and assists him in the mission.
Despite working at Avalon Riding Club during his time on Earth, he only left the job because of his duty as a Space Sheriff and he was too busy dealing with Makuu and investigate whenever anything happens with them, which resulted of him getting 3,000¥ per month. He was very kind and friendly towards children and would often play soccer whenever during his day off.
Receiving an S.O.S. signal from what he believed to be his long-lost father Voicer, Retsu went off to search for him, but only for him to be lured into Makuu's trap where he would be killed. Before that, he first met Tsukiko Hoshino, a young woman who became Gavan's adopted sister after her parents were killed by Makuu to steal Professor Hoshino's plasma energy emitter to create a missile capable of blowing up planets. After he found his father's spaceship and discovering that he wasn't there, he decide to continued fighting against Makuu in order to save him.
After a long fight against Makuu, Retsu finally discovered the location of his father Voicer after Commander Qom got the information from the dying Hunter Killer. At the woods, he first met a young forest ranger and his future successor named Den Iga whom he rescued as he was badly beaten up by the Buffalo Doubler before taking him to Planet Bird to heal him from poisoning. After defeating the final Doubler, he found a former Makuu base in the cave of Mt. Tsurugi where Voicer is previously being held prisoner, but almost getting killed by a trap set up by San Dorva.
Discovering that Voicer is currently being held prisoner in the Onikubi Island, Gavan breaks inside the Makuu base and finally rescued him from his imprisonment before taking him back to Dolgiran to take care of him, but sadly died after a brutal torture and beatings he endured at the hands of Makuu for a long time while being held captive.
After rescuing his friends from being held captive by San Dorva and his soldiers, Gavan later engaged in a final battle against Makuu as the Makuu Castle is invading the Earth. While fighting against San Dorva and Witch Kiba, he was struggled to fight against them both until a new Space Sheriff named Sharivan later appears and saved him, allowing him to finish them once and for all. Once he's in the Makuu Castle, Gavan is ready to fight against the Don Horror before finally finishing him off with Gavan Dynamic, thus marking the end of Space Crime Organization Makuu once and for all. In the end, Retsu is later promoted as the captain of the Galactic Patrol and entrusted Den to protect the Earth as a new Space Sheriff.
