Hakaider

Hakaider, known as Ryo in his human form, is the main protagonist of the 1995 action tokusatsu film Mechanical Violator Hakaider based off of the Kikaider franchise.
He is an android originally built by Gurjev, ruler of Jesus Town, who was disposed of after he developed a sense of free will. He is based off of Hakaider, the rival of Kikaider, though unlike his original counterpart is an anti-hero rather than a straight villain.
He was portrayed by Yuji Kishimoto as Ryo and voiced by Dai Matsumoto as Hakaider.
==Biography==
Hakaider was originally built by Gurjev to enforce his twisted definition of justice and keep order in Jesus Town, but after he began to develop a sense of free will Gurjev deemed him a failure and ordered him disposed of. However, a group of scientists rebelled against Gurjev and seized Hakaider to use against him. Gurjev's security forces were successful in killing all of the scientists, but were unable to locate where they had placed Hakaider.
Many years later, Hakaider was found by a group of burglars who broke into the tomb where he was being kept. Believing he was one of Gurjev's enforcers, the burglars opened fire on him but Hakaider easily dispatched them all before making his way to Jesus Town. Hakaider drove past the checkpoint, leading the Jesus Town security forces to go to take him out, but Hakaider easily fought them all off. Hakaider soon joined up with a resistance fighting against Gurjev's rule, befriending its leader Kaoru, but after meeting some of its other members and seeing how they were only concerned with their own personal welfare, Hakaider came to conclude that they were little different from Gurjev.
The resistance was later attacked by Gurjev's security forces and all of their members except for Kaoru were killed. Hakaider attempted to fight them off, but he was overwhelmed by the security forces and seemingly destroyed after he was blown out a window. However, Hakaider managed to survive and later found an injured Kaoru wandering the streets of Jesus Town. Kaoru took Hakaider to a secret spot she knew of that was the last remaining oasis in the city. The two spent some time together before Kaoru tragically passed from the injuries she had gotten from Gurjev's robot enforcer Michael while escaping.
With a renewed sense of vengeance from Kaoru's death, Hakaider headed to the Jesus Town parliament to confront Gurjev and put an end to his tyranny over Jesus Town. Gurjev quickly noticed Hakaider and sent his security forces to destroy him but Hakaider fought his way past them all. He then came across Michael, who was waiting for him to come so he could fight him. The two androids promptly did battle, initially seeming evenly matched before Michael gained the upper hand. Michael beat down Hakaider, knocking his pistol away and throwing him to the floor. Hakaider attempts to reach for his pistol, but Michael grabs it first and shakes all the rounds from it before knocking Hakaider upside the head with it. However, Hakaider then grabs some of the rounds from the pistol and loads them into his Arm Shot, which he uses to shoot Michael's arm off. With the android enforcer injured and caught off guard, Hakaider is able to defeat it by knocking its head off.
Gurjev then arrives and has Michael's head placed onto the Death Angel, turning it into the Michael Tank, and sends it to destroy Hakaider. The Michael Tank overwhelms Hakaider at first, until Hakaider discovers his Destruction Gun chest cannon and uses it to destroy the Michael Tank. He then turns to Gurjev, who makes a futile attempt to bargain with Hakaider before giving up and deciding to accept his fate at Hakaider's hands. Hakaider then decides that Gurjev is not worth killing and turns around, only for Gurjev to attempt to shoot him while his back is turned. However, before he can, Hakaider turns around and jams his hand into Gurjev's heart, killing him.
With Gurjev dead and Kaoru no longer with him, Hakaider gets on his motorcycle and rides away from Jesus Town to parts unknown.
