Takeshi Onigawara Yoroi, alias Takeshi Yoroi, is the son of International Police Department director Toragaro Onigawara. Trained from youth to inherit his father’s legacy, he mastered martial arts, earning third-degree black belts in Judo and Karate, and forged the lethal "Hariken-style"—a specialized branch of Internal Destructive Fist Karate. His early missions included safeguarding Dr. Oleger Gestell, a scientist hunted by groups like the Devil Lizard Gang. During one assault, Takeshi suffered near-fatal injuries, only surviving when Dr. Gestell fused an experimental "Polymet" helmet into his body. The procedure saved his life but killed Gestell, driving Takeshi to vow vengeance using the scientist’s technology while hiding his identity.
To evade his father’s oversight and shield the Polymar suit, Takeshi adopted a cover as the clumsy assistant at Kuruma Detective Agency. There, he covertly tracked criminal networks, feeding intelligence to his vigilante operations. Coworkers Jo Kuruma and Teru Nanba never suspected his double life or police lineage. The Polymar suit—crafted from memory plastic—granted superhuman physicality, rapid healing, and resistance to bullets, heat, and toxins. Voice-activated through its helmet, it transformed into five vehicles: the Polymar Machine (race car), Drill (tank), Hawk (jet), Grandplus (submarine), and Roller (steamroller). Yet its power waned after 46 minutes, with weaknesses to extreme cold and electromagnetic disruption.
His vigilante crusade strained relations with his father, culminating in disinheritance. After neutralizing threats like the Sea Turtle Party, they reconciled, and his competence earned him promotion to chief detective. In the 1990s OVA *Holy Blood*, he battled the Pluto Army, defending against mutated foes. Only his St. Bernard, Danshaku ("Baron"), knew his secret.
Takeshi’s arc hinged on balancing his buffoonish facade with his disciplined, tactical alter ego. This duality let him dismantle crime undetected, mend fractured bonds, and cement his legacy as a tech-augmented martial artist straddling justice’s shadow and light.
