Tokkei Winspector

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tokkei Winspector (特警ウインスペクター, Tokkei Uinsupekutā^?), translated as Special Police Winspector, is a Japanese tokusatsu TV series, part of the Metal Heroes franchise and the first piece of the Rescue Hero trilogy. The series follows the adventures and missions of a special "Rescue Police" team known as Special Police Winspector, as they stop crimes and respond to dangerous events where regular police force is not sufficient. The team is made up of one human (a hero clad in armor) and two robotic assistants. "Winspector" was dubbed and aired in Germany, France, Italy and Brazil, which resulted in notable popularity throughout those countries.

Ryouma Kagawa / Fire (香川竜馬　Kagawa Ryouma / ファイヤー　Faiyā): 23 years old. Ryouma is the leader of the team and the only human member. Like Masaki, he is also a Police Superintendent. Kagawa is a martial artist and knows five languages. His primary means of transportation is a purpose-built car named Winsquad. When initiating his transformation to Fire he calls out "Jack Up!"(Japanese version is "Chakka!"). He is then equipped with an energy sword - his primary all-purpose weapon - and a suit of red armor which offers him protection named Cross Tector. There are also other, more specialized weapons and tools available. Ryouma has a sister although he has lost his parents at the age of 13. Later he joined the Solbrain team as Knight Fire. His name in the German dub is Robin Kagawa.
Biker (バイクル　Baikuru): Walter's "twin brother", Biker is one of two robots who assist Ryouma. His primary means of transportation is his motorcycle. However he also has a wheel integrated into his chest section which he can use to "land-surf" when no vehicle is available. His weaponry consists of twin katanas, which can be combined into a longer staff and can alternatively function as the handles of his motorcycle or coin bombs. Biker's armor is yellow. Being a master of jokes and sometimes a little inane, he's often subject to Walter's anger. The German dub changed his name to Brian. By the way, it is setting to speak a dialect of Nagoya in Japan version.
Walter (ウォルター　Uorutā): Biker's "twin brother", Walter is the other of the two robots in the team. Being equipped with wings enables him to fly, thus requiring no special vehicle. His armor is turqouise (although the Japanese title song suggests that its color is meant to be green). Walter loves children and he is generally the type of "person" who enjoys life. Despite rumors that suggest otherwise, his name was not changed in the German dub, he is called Walter as well. The Brazillian dub however changed his name to Highter.
Shunsuke Masaki (正木俊介　Masaki Shunsuke): Shunsuke is Winspector's commander and founder. He usually remains in the headquarters of Winspector, but if necessary, for example when a member falls into a pinch, he goes to the site himself and takes command.
Junko Fujino (藤野純子　Fujino Junko): Junko is an information G-man. She is an expert with handguns.
Hisako Koyama (小山久子　Koyama Hisako): Hisako is a secret G-man. She usually works in a coffee shop. Her father, Masanobu Koyama, was a colleague of Masaki until he was killed in action six years ago.
Shin'ichi Nonoyama (野々山真一　Nonoyama Shin'ichi): Shin'ichi is Winspector's mechanic. He develops rescue tools and maintains Biker and Walter.
Madocks (マドックス　Madokkusu): Madocks is Winspector's supercomputer. Madocks holds data on every criminal and can analyze it in an instant.
Demitasse (デミタス　Demitasu): Demitassse is small robot. His main work is emergency step at the time of trouble of Biker and Walter and secret investigation activity.
