Members
- Jiro / Kikaider : An android created by Dr. Kohmyoji to stop DARK. He acts to protect Dr. Kohmyoji's children Mitsuko and Masaru. Since his conscience circuit is incomplete, Professor Gill's hypnotic flute causes him pain and is ultimately able to control him. He defends himself by overpowering its influence
- Dr. Nobuhiko Kohmyoji : The creator of Kikaider. A top robotics expert, he was captured by DARK to help them build an army of murderous robot monsters. Secretly built Kikaider to not only protect his two children Mitsuko and Masaru, but to save the world.
- Mitsuko Kohmyoji : The daughter of Dr. Kohmyoji, the scientist who created Jiro. She develops feelings for Jiro and helps to repair him when he is damaged. Jiro tries to keep away from her to protect her feelings.
- Masaru Kohmyoji : The spunky younger brother of Mitsuko.
- Hanpei "Hanpen" Hattori : A hysterically comical private investigator who befriends and helps Kikaider and his companions. He is a descendant of the famous real-life ninja Hanzō Hattori. Hanpei is derisively nicknamed "Hanpen" by his companions (hanpen is Japanese for "pounded fish cake"). Even the usually very polite Jiro will sometimes use the name Hanpen. He has a green Subaru 360.
- Professor Gill : The leader of a terrorist organization called DARK. He kept Dr. Kohmyoji prisoner, and forced him to make destructive robots. Gill hates Kikaider, seeing him as a threat to his ambition, and wants to destroy him as a result. Gill used a flute that can control his DARK Destructoids (and causes pain to Jiro which prevents him from changing to Kikaider).
- Saburo / Hakaider : Another android, considered as Jiro's "younger brother" as he was also made by Gill. While Jiro was made by Dr. Kohmyoji voluntarily, Saburo was one of the androids Kohmyoji was forced to make under the dominance of DARK to "correct" his mistake by destroying Kikaider.
- Android Men : Professor Gill's loyal android henchmen. Although vastly inferior to Destructoids they are capable of fighting and are often equipped with a naginata.
- Android Women: Professor Gill's 2nd loyal android henchmen. Although vastly inferior to Destructoids they are capable of fighting and are often equipped with a 2nd naginata.

- Excelling at combat and multiple other things, Jiro is without a doubt a very advanced robot. Even in his human form, Jiro has multiple functions and has enough power as well as durability to withstand a 5000 degree flamethrower, ward off some Destructoids and slightly have the upper edge against Saburo in human form, who used his knife in their battle.
- Kikaider is Jiro's alternate form, a powerful battle android that has well over 1,500,000 horsepower with a "heart" who fights to protect the world from Professor Gill and the DARK organization. His outer shell is half-blue and half-red because of his incomplete conscience circuit.
- Jiro transforms into his battle form by first using his right hand's fingers to portray the number three. He then stretches his arms to their respective sides and then activates his arm switches from right to left by crossing them together. Immediately afterwards, Jiro raises his arms high in the air. A burst of energy then surrounds Jiro as he changes into his battle form.
- Sidemachine : Jiro's motorcycle that comes with a sidecar. Jiro is able to control it through remote control.
- Air Craft : Kikaider has rocket boots in the soles of his feet which allow him to jump great distances and grant him the power of flight.
- Suction Powers : Jiro can easily walk on walls with his feet as if they were the ground.
- Radar Detector : A radar that Jiro can use while in human form which allows him to pinpoint a person's location.
- Arm Buzz Saw : A saw on Jiro's arm that he can use while in human form.
- Analysis Circuit : A circuit inside Jiro that allows him to understand any type of substance as well as allows him to modify medicine.
- Denji End : Kikaider's signature attack. An electromagnetically-charged cross karate chop which can cleave robots apart and fry their circuitry.
- Double Chop : Kikaider's Two-Handed karate chop. This attack can sever a limb of an opponent.
- Giant Swing Throw : Kikaider grabs his enemies and lifts them up over his shoulders, tossing them into the air spinning around several times, and then hitting them hard on the ground.
- Spinning Attack : Kikaider jumps on top of the opponent after knocking them down and proceeds to beat them.
- Kikaider Log Spin : Kikaider grabs a log then uses it to deflect projectile weapons such as shurikens.
- Super Clean : A water based move. Kikaider gets inside the water then spins around cleansing it.
- Red Beam : A beam that shoots out of Kikaider`s eyes which shows if or not the target is in a disguise.
- Feather Return : A move in which Kikaider returns a barrage of weapons back onto the opponent.
- Ultra Kick : A kick move where Kikaider kicks the opponent with both his legs.
- Kikaider Spark : Perhaps his most powerful attack, Kikaider crosses his hands and shoots a strong beam of light from both his hands onto his opponent.
- Ginga Hurricane : Another powerful move where Kikaider flies and spins around his opponent, while proceeding to attack said opponent.
- KIkaider Throw : A more powerful throw move than the Giant Swing Move where Kikaider slams the opponent on the ground.
- Escape Screw : Kikaider musters his strength then breaks whatever is keeping him binded.
- Repair Ability : An automatic self repair ability.
There are attacks that Jiro can only perform when with Kikiader 01 and/or Bijinder. One of the dangers of using these attacks is that the combined energy could overload and destroy the bodies of the androids if not released fast enough.
- Double Brother Power : Kikaider and 01 link together and fire powerful twin bolts of energy.It was first used on Episode 18 to destroy Giant Devil.
- Kikaider Triple Circle Power : The three androids link their arms, jump into the air and spin at high speed destroying the target. It was used to completely destroy Zadam and Gill Hakaider at once.
