Tekkaman Blade (Japanese: 宇宙の騎士テッカマンブレード Hepburn: Uchū no Kishi Tekkaman Burēdo?, lit. "Space Knight Tekkaman Blade") is a 1992 Japanese anime television series produced by Tatsunoko Production and Sotsu Agency. The series was directed by Hiroshi Negishi and written by Mayori Sekijima and Satoru Akahori. The story follows an organization called the Space Knights and their war against aliens known as Radam. The Space Knights are assisted by Takaya Aiba, who has the ability to transform into the armored warrior known as Tekkaman Blade.
The first series, of 49 episodes, aired in Japan from February 18, 1992 to February 2, 1993 on TV Tokyo. This was followed by three specials. A sequel series called Tekkaman Blade II, which is set ten years after the first series and follows the events of the second Radam invasion, was released as a series of six OVAs in Japan from July 21, 1994, to April 21, 1995. A video game based on the series, titled Uchū no Kishi: Tekkaman Blade, was released in Japan on July 30, 1993. The original series was released in Australia and the United States as Teknoman dubbed in English, although in the US the series was canceled before airing completely.
During the United Earth Year 192, the Earth is under attack from an alien race known as the Radam, whose forces are composed of bug-like monsters and by armored warriors known as Tekkamen. The Tekkamen are humans who transform themselves using a crystal that endows them with impenetrable armor, superhuman strength, flight, energy weapons, and a personal weapon. The Radam's spaceship lies dormant on the dark side of the Moon where the Radam wait for it to be repaired. Unlike the other Tekkamen, Blade is free of the mind control which the Radam have imposed on themselves.
