Chōsoku Henkei Gyrozetter (超速変形ジャイロゼッター?, trans. Super High-Speed Transforming Gyrozetter) is a video game by Square Enix and a anime television series. A manga series was released on 3 December 2012.
In 21st century Japan, vehicles with artificial intelligence for increased safety, known as A.I. Cars, have revolutionized the automotive industry. Special schools teaching children to drive A.I. Cars have been established. One day, Kakeru Todoroki, a fifth grader of Arcadia Academy, is summoned by the school principal and given an A.I. Car with which to save humanity. The car, however, is actually also a transforming robot known as Gyrozetter. When Xenon, an evil organization bent on world domination, wreak havoc across New Yokohama City, Kakeru must gather the other "chosen drivers" foretold on the artifact known as the "Rosettagraph", and stop Xenon's evil plans.
The main protagonist of the series, and the first of the six chosen drivers selected by Arcadia. A young carefree boy who was very polite,and never forgets smile and bow at whoever he met, although he regularly displays recklessness that almost get him into trouble. However, whatever he sees someone in danger, he would not think twice before rushing to help, but when his friends were in deep danger, or if they were hurt in front of him, Kakeru sets his outgoing personality aside and unleashes his repressed hatred at his enemies. He usually uses the word depressingly as an adjective, much to Rinne's dismay. His Gyrozetter, Raibird, uses a short sword, called "Thunderclap Blade", to deliver strikes at his enemies,and usually uses attacks based on Japanese wrestling moves, such as Lightning Slash, an diving attack. He has three Final Burst in the series
