is the titular hero of the 1971 series, Mirrorman.
==History==
===Mirrorman===
The Earth is once again in peril as a race known only as The Invaders from the Planet X, plots to conquer our planet. The aliens soon discover the existence of Kyotaro and made plans to capture the young man. They targeted the young man because he was the half-human son of the original Mirrorman. By now Kyotaro was a young man and photographer with no interest in fighting despite the SGM captain's request. Said captain, Dr. Mitarai, was a friend of his father and Kyotaro's mother Yuko was his assistant. The young man had difficulty accepting his destiny, refusing to believe he was only half human but he soon realized that he is the only one who could save the Earth from the Invaders, when they tried to assassinate him. In the industrial district Kyotaro had his first battle as Mirrorman and fought a giant monster and an invader ship with the help of SGM. 
Mirrorman was eventually caught by the Invaders, who planted a bomb inside him that would go off should he transform for too long, thus placing a time limit on Mirrorman. Despite that, Mirrorman continued to fight against the Invaders and protected humanity until the invasion of Earth was over. Finally, Kyotaro's father announced to him that invaders were about to invade the dimension that Mirrorman came from. Mirrorman went off to fight the invaders again.

===Techniques===
====Special====
*: Mirrorman's finisher, he gathers energy then places his hands at the stars on his forehead and waist, bringing them together to shoot two large arrow shaped bursts of energy, can destroy a monster in one shot. It is a risky move for Mirrorman as it uses all of his energy. After being implanted with the bomb, Mirrorman also had to be careful of when he uses it to avoid igniting the bomb.
*: Mirrorman can fire an arrow-shaped burst of energy to kill his opponents. In the earlier episodes this was the commonly used final technique, until the Silver Cross started to be used.
**: Mirrorman can fire small energy beams from his fingers all at once, it is a version of the Mirror Knife used while in mid-air. It can be fired from one or both hands.
*: V-shaped bursts of energy used to cut apart the enemy. There are two types.
**: A vertical slice.
***: The Slicer V strengthened 5 times by rotating it.
