Hiroshi Shiba

"I will defend this Earth from the demons of its past and the invaders of its future! BUILD UP, STEEL JEEG!”

Hiroshi Shiba is a hot-blooded race car driver. Hiroshi Shiba is a hot-blooded cyborg who turns into a super robot’s head. Somehow, Hiroshi Shiba balances these two aspects of his life. Killed in a horrible lab accident, Hiroshi was rebuilt by his father into a cyborg capable of transforming into the head (and soul) of the modular magne-joint super robot Steel Jeeg. When Professor Senjiro Shiba was beaten to death by agents of the evil Queen Himiko, Hiroshi swore revenge on the sprawling underground Yamatai Empire, who were gradually working their way to Earth from La Gias. To this day, Hiroshi continues to battle the invaders and their towering Clay Phantoms, and has grown convinced that mankind is in no way ready for an alien invasion-- from either direction. To that end, he has joined up with the Divine Crusaders on a quest to force humanity to man up and drop a pair... before it’s too late.

Background Information
Big In Japan (And Italy) race car driver Hiroshi Shiba was killed in an accident at his father's lab and rebuilt as a cyborg. His father was killed by Hikima, the top general of Queen Himika (yes, they just switched the last two syllables), and Hiroshi found he could transform into the head for his father's magnum opus: the super robot STEEL JEEG.

Hiroshi fights Queen Himika's subterranean Yamatai Empire and punches the rest of humanity's "Heroes" in the face until they toughen up enough to be ready for alien invasion.
