'''''Android Kikaider''''' (人造人間キカイダー - ''Jinzô Ningen Kikaidâ'') is a [[tokusatsu]] [[superhero]] TV series, and the first to feature the superhero [[Kikaider]]. Created by [[mangaka]] [[Shotaro Ishinomori]], the show was produced by [[Toei Company|Toei Company Ltd.]], and was broadcast on [[TV Asahi|NET (now TV Asahi)]] from July 8, [[1972]] to May 5, [[1973]], with a total of 43 episodes.

This series is considered to be among the best of the [[Toei Superheroes|Toei Superhero]] shows, as well as being one of Ishinomori's best creationcreations since ''[[Cyborg 009]]'' and ''[[Kamen Rider]]'' (which started the [[Henshin|Henshin Hero]] genre).

This series has also been a phenomenal success in [[Hawaii]], where the show has broadcast since [[1974]]. Known initially as '''''Kikaider, Android of Justice''''', it has since been referred to there simply by its Japanese title, '''''Jinzo Ningen Kikaida'''''.
