Description
Ai Kaminari, affectionately known as Ai-chan, embodies the heroic persona Yatterman-2 throughout multiple franchise iterations. Her full name, translating to "love thunder," manifests in heart-themed costumes and electrical armaments.
In the 1977 original series, the 12-year-old electronics prodigy assists her boyfriend Gan Takada in constructing the robotic dog Yatter-Wan, then co-founds the Yatterman team to thwart the Doronbo Gang's quest for the Skull Stone fragments. Her civilian outfit combines a yellow jumpsuit, purple leotard, and red cap; transforming into Yatterman-2 reverses this palette into a white or light pink suit with purple mask and gloves, topped by a red Yatterman-insignia cap. She employs the "Shibire Stick"—a telescoping electric baton that paralyzes foes, deflects projectiles, and disarms adversaries. While empathetic toward innocents, she shows zero tolerance toward the Doronbo Gang, especially when Doronjo flirts with Gan.
The 2008 remake preserves her technical expertise while amplifying her responsibility. She frequently pushes the initially lackadaisical Gan into action, quantifying crises in percentages like "100% trouble." Her romance with Gan culminates in marriage approximately 13 years post-series during the "Royal Revival" OVA, where they honeymoon before re-engaging the Doronbo Gang. Here, Ai-chan exhibits more confident, teasing banter toward Gan.
Generations later in "Yatterman Night," Ai-chan and Gan are deceased, slain by Dokurobei following his resurgence. The tyrannical "Yatter Kingdom" manipulates public perception using robotic clones of Ai-chan. Her heroic legacy passes to Alouette, who adopts the Yatterman-2 role to oppose Dokurobei's regime alongside descendants of the Doronbo Gang.
She features as a playable character in "Tatsunoko vs. Capcom," executing high-speed assaults with low health reserves. Her moveset incorporates the Electric Stick, summons Omotchama, and deploys the Yatter-Pelican mecha.
