Ken Izumi

Ken Izumi is the main protagonist of the series "Chargeman Ken!". His family doesn't appear in episodes 5, 18, 28, 32, 33, 34, and 48. He is a young boy that lives with his family: mother, father, his sister Caron and robot companion named Barican. He usually wears clothes consisting of a yellow jumpsuit with a K in the centre written in black with white lining around it, dark brown boots, and a red handkerchief around his neck. He has messy dark brown hair (black in some animation cells) with a trihoge at either side at the back, and has light blue eyes (black or grey in some animation cells). In his normal day to day activities, he goes to school and is very interested in the advanced technology of the era. When danger strikes, he has the ability to change into Chargeman Ken, a hero who protects innocents from an alien threat known as the Jurals.

Ken is mostly a model hero, but due to the extremely short episode time, episodes are often resolved in ways that leave Ken with poor decision making. In Episode 35, Ken is attempting to save Dr. Volga. Since a bomb has been planted in his brain, Ken realizes the best way to end the episode is to drop the living Dr. Volga bomb onto the pursuing Jurals, blowing them up. Ken is then seen mourning the late Dr. Volga, despite just having dropped him out of his own ship.

Ken's Powers
Ken Izumi posses a number of abilities to help combat the alien Jurals.

By striking a pose and shouting "CHARGING GO!", he gains a helmet with a resistant visor, jet shoes, and a ray gun known as the Alpha Gun. Supposedly his powers come from light and can only transform when there is light in abundance nearby. Ken also is able to call forth the Sky Rod, which is a flying UFO type of ship that can carry him wherever he needs to go, even in space or underwater.

Ken also has the Bidium belt around his waist. It can be powered up to create a powerful typhoon than can confuse and blow away enemies.
