History: During United Earth Year 192, the Earth is under attack from an extraterrestrial enemy known as the Radam; parasites that take other creatures as hosts. The Radam forces comprise of grotesque bug-like monsters that are led by armored soldiers known as the Tekkamen. Surrounding the Earth is an enormous man-made ring-shaped structure known as the Orbital Ring System. The Orbital Ring was a space station that once served as a launch point into space and was constructed well before the arrival of the alien invaders. It was thus the first human structure attacked and occupied by Radam, with its human inhabitants having either fled or been killed. Now it serves merely as a battle ground for the military against the aliens.
Fighting against the Radam and their Tekkamen are the Space Knights. Led by Commander Heinrich von Freeman, the Space Knights are a special defense force and Earth's last hope for defeating the Radam. The Space Knights consist of Noal, the pilot of the Space Knights' ship "Blue Earth"; Aki, the Blue Earth navigator; Milly, the communications operator; Levin, computer mechanic; and Honda, mechanic and repairs. The Space Knights have been unsuccessful at repelling the aliens until the arrival of D-Boy, a young man who has the ability to transform into an armored warrior known as Tekkaman Blade.
Commanding the Radam is Tekkaman Omega, a Tekkaman general who leads the alien invasion of Earth. Omega's base is located on the dark side of the Moon, where he waits for the moment to gain enough strength to raise his spacecraft from the Moon's surface, along with his Tekkamen soldiers, preparing for their conquest of the Earth and the universe.
Also commanding the Radam armies are other Tekkamen. Once ordinary humans, the Tekkamen were captured and transformed by the Radam to assist in the takeover of Earth. They are endowed with impenetrable armor, super-human strength, and quantum energy weapons. The Tekkamen transform using power drawn from their System Box crystals that are unique to each holder. Blade is one of a handful of Tekkamen. Unlike the others, he fights to defend Earth and for the most part, is free of the brainwashing which the Radam have imposed over their captives to make them subservient.
Before the arrival of the Radam there was a deep space exploration ship called the Argos. It was the Argos that first encountered the Radam probe ship. Aboard the Argos were the Aiba family: Blade's family and their ship crew. While exploring the outer rings of Saturn, the Argos' radar picks up an unusual gravitational disturbance. Going to investigate, the crew discover the disturbance to be an alien ship, and as they get closer, they are drawn in by a tractor beam. Excited at the prospect of encountering alien life, the crew board the vessel and discover the Radam.
Radam "Tek System" plants rain down upon the crew, beginning the process of turning them into Tekkamen. All of the crew aboard the ship were put into Tek System pods, though only the most ideal humans could become Tekkamen. While this occurred, the Argos was slowly being assimilated into the Radam spacecraft. Over time, Takaya Aiba's father was rejected by the process and uses what little time he had left to free one member of his family; Blade, who was the only one still not brainwashed by the Radam. It is through the crew of the Argos that the Radam discovers the planet Earth and plan their invasion. On his last legs, Blade's father helps him into the escape pod and before activating the Argos' self-destruct sequence, he casts Blade off into space telling him that the fate of the Earth rests in his hands. Upon the explosion, the Radam spacecraft crash lands on the dark side of the Moon.
Takaya Aiba travels back to Earth for six months, in the confines of his tiny pod, alone with his thoughts. By the time he arrives, the Earth is already under heavy attack from the Radam. Fueled by his hatred for the Radam, Takaya bursts free from his pod and begins to attack them. The attack draws the attention of a Tekkaman called Dagger. The two fight and Blade is sent hurtling towards Earth, however, his armor protects him and he crash lands on Earth without sustaining serious injury. His arrival attracts the attention of two Space Knights, Noal Vereuse and Aki Kisaragi who discover a naked and bleeding Takaya walking out of a crater, and take him back to their headquarters.
In the beginning, Takaya is mysterious and hostile towards the otherwise helpful Space Knights, however, he has no memory of anything before the battle on the orbital ring with Tekkaman Dagger as time progresses, he begins to respect and admire them for their dedication in even the toughest of situations, and eventually develops a relationship with Aki.
The Space Knights, with the help of Takaya is given the nickname of Dangerous-Boy ("D-Boy") by Noal because of his dangerous ideology, slowly begin to repel the Radam troops until, during a battle with Tekkaman Dagger, Blade's crystal is shattered, rendering him unable to transform again into Tekkaman Blade. Takaya gives up hope, however Levin technically develops a battle robot, who later takes the name Pegas. Pegas contains the shards of Blade's crystal and amplifies its power, allowing Blade to transform once more. Pegas and Blade develop a close friendship, despite Pegas being a robot. In his first transformation using Pegas, Blade challenges Dagger and easily overpowers him, destroying him with a blast from his Voltekka shoulder cannons.
Eventually more Tekkamen arrive on Earth to challenge Blade, led by Tekkaman Evil, Blade's twin brother; Tekkaman Lance, Tekkaman Axe, and Tekkaman Sword, are all keen to destroy him. Blade's sister, Miyuki, also arrives on Earth. However, like Blade, she is not under the control of the Radam. After pulling herself free from Omega's base, she arrives very ill and is given a blood transfusion from Takaya and Aki. Evil, Lance, Axe and Sword attack the Space Knights' base, attempting to kill Miyuki. Although outnumbered, Miyuki strikes back and fights them, eventually self-destructing in the form of her own Voltekka in a vain attempt to destroy the other Tekkamen. Blade, now left without a family, is strengthened by these events and resolves to destroy the Radam. He manages to kill Lance and Axe and later gains the power to take on the Blaster transformation mode, but at the expense of having worse effects on his brain and body. Evil is given the same ability to serve as the final line of Omega's defense, while Sword is killed by Balzac as they both burn up in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing the Blue Earth from reaching the Moon.
Towards the end of the war, Blade and Evil meet for one last time to fight. They battle and eventually Blade kills Evil. As he dies, Evil is freed from the Radam parasite's control and hands Blade his crystal, instructing him that he will need its power to reach Omega's base on the Moon. Evil also tells Blade that despite all the events that have led to his death, he is glad to have fought his own brother on equal ground for the first time, and that he is glad that he became Tekkaman Evil.
Blade takes off on Pegas while falling further and further into the depths of his rage. He finally arrives on the Moon and confronts Omega, who reveals the entire Radam plan and that he is Kengo, Blade's eldest brother. Omega has begun to resurrect the alien mothership, to descend upon Earth. Blade attacks Omega, who proves too powerful and easily defeats Blade. Omega is about to kill Blade when Pegas sacrifices itself for Blade, stepping in front of the killing blow. Pegas' last words are a farewell to Blade.
The destruction of Pegas sends Blade over the edge and he erupts, transforming him into Blaster Tekkaman mode for the last time. Before striking the final blow of the war, Blade says to his brother, "Come on, let's go home now." Omega's spaceship explodes; as parts of the spacecraft fall to Earth, so too does Blade, stripped of his armor and crash-landing. The series ends with Blade and Aki watching the sunset and Noal recalling what a miracle it was that himself and Blade had survived the war. However, prices were paid, as their comrade Balzac died during his battle with Sword and Blade is paralyzed and wheelchair-bound, can barely speak and is almost completely amnesiac.
Ten years later, a new threat has arrived in the form of a disaster brought about by an unfortunate result of the Radam invasion. Thousands of human beings, changed into Primary Bodies by the First Invasion, rally in Prague at the call of an insane Tekkaman cult leader named Mikhail. The Space Knights are deployed in a peacekeeping effort, unaware of world armies preparing to annihilate the entire city in a nuclear attack. Aki, the "Red Devil", fights and kills the leader of the uprising before assisting the sudden evacuation of the city. Aki finds David Krueger moments before the bombs are dropped, spiriting him away on the back of Pegasus II. Dead End's friends and family are killed with tens of thousands of others; he survives the blast.
Blade takes to the field later to further the training of the new Tekkamen of the Space Knights. He saves them from a group of Radam Tekkamen, and takes the most inexperienced member of the three new Tekkamen into space to train.
They return in time to combat Dead End, who blames the military and Space Knights for the destruction of Prague. After a hard battle, Blade manages to convince Dead End to let go of his anger and join the Space Knights, where he becomes Tekkaman Dead.
After this, most of the trouble dies down and his world is at peace. Until one day, Blade mysteriously disappears. The only notice was that he had "gone to check an anomaly".

Age: Estimated as somewhere in his late thirties.
Gender: Male
Species: Genetically-modified human.
Alignment: Good
Canon or Original: Canon
Date of Birth: Unknown
Place of Birth: Exact location never specified; somewhere on Earth
Physical Appearance:
Takaya/D-Boy when unarmored
Blaster Tekkaman Blade
Special Abilities:
- Expert Combatant: When transformed or not, D-Boy is an excellent combatant, both using martial arts when untransformed and transformed, and wielding his Tekk-Lancer with great skill when transformed.
- Tekkaman Transformation: Thanks to DNA augmentation done by the Radam, D-Boy is capable of transforming into a powerful armored warrior form known as a Tekkaman. While in this armored form, his natural abilities are vastly increased and he gains many powerful abilities and weapons.
- Superhuman Strength: As Tekkaman Blade, his physical strength is increased exponentially, to several thousand times its normal power, allowing him to engage in physical combat with nigh any foe.
- Superhuman Endurance: Tekkaman Blade's armor was virtually invulnerable to conventional assault. Its endurance was great enough to effortlessly shrug off gunfire of all calibers, withstand impacts from tank shells, and even survive a ground-zero nuclear blast relatively unharmed. It would seem his armor is much more vulnerable to bladed wepaons -- especially piercing or thrusting weapons -- and can be more easily damaged thusly.
- Superhuman Speed: While moving on foot, Tekkaman Blade could run and sprint at speeds in excess of one hundred miles per hour quite easily. He is capable of making short dashes of such celerity and speed as to vanish completely from normal senses and tracking, and seemingly teleport over distances of up to twenty meters.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Tekkaman Blade's reflexes were honed to such a degree that he could dodge gunfire with ease -- not that he needed to -- and even dodge the Voltekka of other Tekkamen.
- Flight: Via jets on the armor, Tekkaman Blade was capable of flight. While his top speed is unknown, he is capable of escape velocity, and can travel to the moon and back in a matter of minutes.
- Voltekka: The red parts on his shoulder armor will slide up, revealing multiple green orbs under them. Blade will gather energy there, forming it into an oscillating sphere on each shoulder. With a roar of "VOLTEKKA!" he will fire a powerful laser blast from both shoulders, with the beams merging into a larger beam a few feet from him. This laser is capable of inflicting damage to even the durable armor of a Tekkaman, and devastating most other targets, though drains a large chunk of energy to perform.
- Crash Intrude: Blade surrounds his entire Tekkaman armor with a field of green energy in the shape of a large bird, then charges at his target(s) at extremely high speed. The energy is likely the same used in his Voltekka, and is extremely destructive; a direct hit from this attack has sent even other Tekkamen flying, and was capable of cutting a wide swathe through a Radam horde.
- Superhuman Strength: As Tekkaman Blade, his physical strength is increased exponentially, to several thousand times its normal power, allowing him to engage in physical combat with nigh any foe.
- Blaster Tekkaman Transformation: D-Boy is capable of assuming a much more powerful form of Tekkaman, known as Blaster Tekkaman. While in this from, his already formiddable attributes and powers are further increased and he gains access to new abilities.
- Enhanced Strength: While in Blaster form, Blade's strength is further enhanced by another large portion, making him several times more powerful than he was before.
- Enhanced Speed: In Blaster form, Blade's speed is enhanced to the degree that his normal dashes seem leave after images behind, and when he exerts his fullest speed, it is rumored he can reach near the speed of light in short bursts.
- Lancer Voltekka: A powerful variant of the Voltekka, where Blade stores the charge for a Voltekka in his Tekk-Lancer and hurls it at his target, turning the lance into what could be considered a smart bomb.
- Blaster Voltekka: Similar to the normal Voltekka, but far more powerful. Gathering far more energy than normal, Blade condenses the energy into a single sphere at roughly chest height before him. It will crackle ominously with shades of dark green, blue and black. When released, it will be as a raging torrent of raw energy, which was rumored to have been able to crack a celestial object the size of the moon in two. Its mere use drains Blade of nearly all of his energy, and could very well threaten his life if he attempts to use it when too injured or exhausted. It is very much a weapon of last resort, and a thing he only even considers using when there is no other way to best a foe.
- Enhanced Strength: While in Blaster form, Blade's strength is further enhanced by another large portion, making him several times more powerful than he was before.
Weapons:
- System Box: The crystal that Blade uses to transform into his Tekkaman armor. Blade's is an intricately-shaped green crystal.
- Claws: While not employed overly often, the fingers of the Tekkaman armor end in razor-sharp claws, well capable of shredding flesh and bone as well as carving through stone and steel with ease enough.
- Tekk-Lancer: A double-sided lance wielded by Tekkaman when transformed. It is razor sharp, with cutting edges on both edges of each end, and a penetrating speartip. Said to be a "quantum energy weapon", and thus far proved capable of cutting through virtually anything. It can be wielded as is, or seperated into two seperate blades and wielded similar to swords. In addition, the two sets of "barbs" under the main blade on either end can be launched off as homing projectiles which will return to the lance after a short time.
- Grappling Spike: A small cable in Blade's right wrist which he often uses to retrieve his Tekk-Lancer after he has thrown it. While appearing as only a thin wire, it is extremely durable, and was at one point used to tow an entire ship.
