Characters

Tekkaman Blade/"D-Boy" (Teknoman/Slade)
his real name is Takaya Aihane (last name is actually Aiba). The Space Knights (Noal, acutally) name him "D-Boy," short for "Dangerous Boy." D-Boy is somewhat lost at first, but luckily finds a home among the Space Knights fairly quickly - I suspect he was on the edge of insanity there for a while, and it is the anchor of the relationships he forms among the Space Knights that brings him back from that edge.

Aki Kisaragi (Star)
One of the Space Knight officers, she is a scientist is a member of the team that finds D-Boy after he crash-lands on Earth. She is a martial arts expert and quite capable of handling most weapons currently being used by the Earth forces. She is level-headed and mature more than her years would indicate. She is 19 years old. She seems rather attracted to D-Boy; at the moment this is more a mother-like urge to help protect him than romantic in nature.

Noal (Ringo)
Another Space Knights officer, he was the second member of the team that found D-Boy; it is Noal that gave the amnesiac young man his new name. He is one of the hottest pilots in the Space Knights, and a bit of a card shark and gambler. At 20 years old, good looking and blonde, he tends to be a bit overconfident at times and displays a bad tendency to lose his temper. He feels a bit adversarial toward D-Boy at first, at least in part because he's got a crush on Aki and is somewhat jealous of her affection for the young man. However, he soon finds an initially grudging respect for D-Boy, and in time they become friends.

Tekkaman Rapier/Miyuki (Shara)
Rapier is a young girl, and her real name is Miyuki - she is D-Boy's younger sister. She turns against the Radam in support of her older brother, but is brutally killed by Evil, Axe, Lance and Sword while trying to defend the Space Knight's base.

Tekkaman Dagger (Gunnar)
The first of the humans we meet who are fighting for the aliens, he displays a fanatic hatred for Tekkaman Blade. Blade knocks out one of the eyes of Dagger's armor in retaliation for what Dagger did to him. He was destroyed by Blade.

Tekkaman Evil/Shinya (Saber/Cain)
The second Tekkaman to be sent aginst D-Boy (after Dagger). His real name is Shinya, and he is D-Boy's younger (twin) brother. Unfortunately for D-Boy, this means that he has a good insight into what Blade's weaknesses are - and he uses that knowledge ruthlessly in their battles.

Tekkaman Omega (Darkon)
He seems to be the commander of the Tekkaman forces, but is also D-Boy's missing older brother, Kengo.
