Appearance
Ichiro is an elderly man with brown eyes, short hair and thick eyebrows. He has short grey hair, mostly due to his age. He has wrinkles all over his body and he's suffering from alopecia.

Personality
At first glance Inuyashiki is a timid man who rarely likes to speak out when push comes to shove, this is evident in the way that his family treats him. He retreats into his own cowardice and melancholy when emotions such as hate, selfishness, rudeness come his way. His timidity and cowardice are only strengthened by his need to help and support all those around him. In other words, he's too nice for his own good. When he receives his powers he becomes a bit braver then what we originally perceived at the beginning of the story.

Plot
Ichiro is a middle-aged man who's been diagnosed with stomach cancer the day after moving to his new house. After finding out that he's not going to live for a long time, he run away to a park to cry.

Unfortunately for him, a UFO hit the Earth on that park, killing him and another boy in the process. The alien decided to rebuilt his body and move the consciousness into the new body, which is a weapon-unit robot.
