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 Ltd., and was broadcast on 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 Superhero shows, as well as being one of Ishinomori's best creations since Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider (which started the 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.
