Description
Hishou Washizaki is the main protagonist of the anime Reideen the Superior. He is a third-year middle school student who lives with his younger sister and mother following his parents' divorce. Physically, he is a male teenager with blue eyes and short black hair that reaches his ears, typically dressed in casual clothes such as jeans and sneakers.
In terms of personality, Hishou has a tendency to get caught up in situations, particularly if it involves supporting his financially struggling family. This practical and somewhat reluctant nature extends to his initial involvement with the team of heroes he joins. He does not eagerly seek out adventure; instead, he is scouted by a manager named Reiko Amagai and joins the group known as the ANGELs partly due to the financial incentive, despite his hesitation.
Hishou's motivations are rooted in a sense of responsibility and circumstance. The story begins on an ordinary day when he is returning home from visiting his girlfriend, Ruri Miyasaka, who lies in a coma. During this trip, he discovers a strange feather that awakens unfamiliar memories within him. This event triggers his destiny, forcing him and four other teenagers to embrace their roles as the new Reideen warriors to protect Earth from the returning Super Devils, ancient evil beings who have been banished to the far side of the universe. The primary antagonist is a super demon named Rushe DeMon, who possesses the chairman of a satellite TV network to search for twelve zodiac orbs that would allow him to control the god Reideen and destroy the planet.
In his role within the story, Hishou serves as the leader of the five main heroes who operate under the cover of a rock band named the ANGELs. His specific designation within the group is Reideen Eagle. As Reideen Eagle, he controls the power of fire and is noted for having the most balanced combat parameters in terms of attack, defense, technique, and speed compared to his teammates. Among his notable abilities are the Eagle Flare, a flamethrower attack; the Burning Punch; and the Burning Kick. He is also equipped with an Eagle Sword for close-quarters combat. His transformed state stands 185 centimeters tall, can fly at speeds of up to Mach 6.5, and possesses an overall output of 870rp (Reideen Power).
Hishou has key relationships with several other characters. He works closely with his fellow ANGELs, who include Ace Haneda (Reideen Condor), Ikazuchi Takagi (Reideen Hawk), Ginga Torikai (Reideen Owl), and Hayate Ohtori (Reideen Falcon). These five teenagers all perform idol-related jobs at the request of their manager, Reiko, as a cover for their superhero activities. He later encounters a second team of Reideen warriors known as The Hearts, who share the same goal but employ more aggressive and expedient methods, leading to conflicts between the two groups. Hishou also has a personal stake in the battle, as his comatose girlfriend, Ruri Miyasaka, serves as a significant emotional anchor for his character.
