"Iron King" is one of the most highly regarded, gloriously loopy Tokusastu Japanese superhero television shows. Filled with furious, fast-paced action and campy humor, "Iron King" quickly became a favorite in its native Japan when originally broadcast from 1972-1973 by combining robots, martial arts, and creatures in ways uniquely Japanese. Shizuka Gentaro is a happy-go-lucky youth who just happens to be a member of Japan's Special Security Defense Force. Gentaro travels to Japan searching for those who threaten the country. During his travels, he meets Kirishima Goro. Goro appears to be a friendly, bumbling traveler but secretly he is also a member of the JSSDF. He was sent to look after Gentaro during his journey. Goro also has another secret. Fitted with a computer control mechanism in his body, he can alter his genetic structure to become the super cyborg-giant "Iron King". Together Gentaro and Goro (as Iron King) battle against the forces of evil.
