Alien Kikero

Alien Kikero was an extraterrestrial boy that appeared in the series Captain Ultra.
==History==
===Captain Ultra===
An alien teenager who was picked up and raised by an earthling when he was a child calling him "Joe", Kikero joined Captain Ultra in his quest to stop the Alien Vandel army in exchange for finding a way back to his home planet. His body curls up and transforms like a rock when in danger, and can shrink as small as a seashell in that form. He carries a ranger case for combat. 
In episode 12, after helping stop the Vandel's machinations, Kikero Joe was rewarded with a spaceship that allowed him to return home faster and parted ways with the crew of The Silver Star.
==== Trivia ====
* Alien Kikero departure in the show was because of his extreme unpopularity among audiences at the time, to the point during the shows run a vote was held in Weekly Shonen Sunday (the series magazine sponsor) to ask kids if they wanted Kikaro removed from the series which allegedly was a near unanimous vote against his presence.
