Tokusou Robo Janperson

**Tokusou Robo Janperson** (特捜ロボ ジャンパーソン, *Tokusō Robo Janpāson*?, translated as **Special Investigation Robot Janperson**) is the 12th entry of the Metal Hero Series and aired from February 1, 1993 to January 23, 1994. The series revolved around Janperson, a robotic detective who patrolled the streets of Tokyo and fought against three different underworld organizations who used super technology to subjugate the masses. Unlike most Metal Heroes, a monster-of-the-week was rarely shown and most of the villains are criminals akin to television police dramas.

The name given to this series by Toei for international distribution is *Jumperson*.
