8-Man

8マン

Detective Yokoda is murdered by criminals, but Professor Tani retrieves his body and takes it to his laboratory. There, Tani performs an experiment that has failed seven times; Yokoda becomes the first successful subject to have his life force transferred into an android body. Reborn as the armor-skinned android 8 Man, he gains the ability to dash at impossible speeds and shape-shift into other people. He assumes the identity of Hachiro Azuma, a detective working with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, keeping his true nature a secret known only to Tani and his police boss Chief Tanaka. Even his girlfriend Sachiko and friend Ichiro do not know he is an android.

As both the detective Azuma and the robot 8 Man, Hachiro fights crime, dealing with scoundrels and criminals from all over the world. He also brings his own murderers to justice, using his super speed and shape-shifting abilities to protect the innocent and uphold the law.
