Uchuu Keiji Sharivan

***Uchuu Keiji Sharivan*** (宇宙刑事シャリバン, *Uchū Keiji Shariban*?), translated into English as ***Space Sheriff Sharivan***, is the second installment in Toei's Metal Hero Series and aired on the TV Asahi network from 4 March 1983 through 24 February 1984. It served as a direct sequel to its predecessor, Uchuu Keiji Gavan and featured many of the same characters.

For distribution purposes, Toei refers to this television series as *Sharivan, Space Guardian*.

## Plot

Initially appearing in *Uchuu Keiji Gavan*, Den Iga is attacked by a monster called Buffalo Doubler, member of the crime organization, Makuu Empire. Den is seriously injured in the attack when he is found by Gavan, who takes him to Planet Bird for medical assistance. Qom, leader of the Galactic Union Patrol, is impressed by Den's courage. Den returns in the final episode of Gavan, saving Gavan himself in his newly acquired form of Space Sheriff Sharivan during Gavan's final battle. After Don Horror is defeated, Sharivan is assigned to Earth and is partnered together with Lily from the planet Bird as he deals with the threat of the Madou Space Crime Syndicate on Earth.
