Tokkei Winspector

***Tokkei Winspector*** (特警ウインスペクター, *Tokkei Uinsupekutā*?, Special Rescue Police Winspector) is a Japanese tokusatsu TV series, part of the Metal Hero Series and the first piece of the *Rescue Hero* trilogy. The series follows the adventures and missions of a special "Rescue Police" team known as *Special Police Winspector*, as they stop crimes and respond to dangerous events where regular police force is not sufficient. The team is made up of one human (a hero clad in armor) and two robotic assistants.

Every episode of *Special Rescue Police Winspector* begins with the statement: "Special Rescue Police Winspector: loves peace, have faith in friendship, facing the crime to protect of the life of the person, at the "Police Headquarters Special Emergency Police Team"!" (特警ウインスペクターとは、平和を愛し、友情を信じ、人の命を守るため犯罪に立ち向かう、「警視庁特別救急警察隊」のことである!, *Tokkei Uinsupekutā to wa, Heiwa o Itoshi, Yūjō o Shinji, Hito no Inochi o Mamorutame Hanzai ni Tachimukau, "Keishichō Tokubetsu Kyūkyū Keisatsu Tai" no koto de aru!*?)

## Story

Tokkei Winspector takes place in a near-future Japan of the year 1999. As the country is facing a great threat from criminals, new methods of protecting people are created. The Winspector squad consisting of the robot brothers Walter and Bikel along with Ryouma wearing the Fire Tector armor defend against super powered threats ranging from mob attacks to scientific experiments gone terribly wrong. It (and Solbrain) are unique among tokusatsu as there is no central villain.
