Kabuto, Kouji
兜 甲児
Kouji Kabuto serves as the show's protagonist, an ordinary student possessing exceptional motorcycle driving skills. He resided with his brother Shiro and his grandfather Juuzo, following the apparent deaths of his parents in a laboratory accident attributed to his grandfather.
One day, Kouji receives a phone call from his grandfather instructing him to meet at his mountain cabin. However, just as Kouji arrives, the cabin explodes. While searching the wreckage, he discovers a concealed doorway leading into the mountain. Inside, he finds his grandfather dying, who expresses his final wish for Kouji to pilot "Mazinger Z" and stop a man named Dr. Hell.
Kouji proceeds into the hidden laboratory and discovers the massive, humanoid robot Mazinger Z, along with the hover pilder used to control it. To honor his grandfather's last wish, he joins the Photon Power Labs and battles the forces of Dr. Hell using his Mazinger Z.
Grendizer
A supporting character who primarily acts as backup for Duke Fleed, the series' protagonist. He enters the war against the Vegan Empire alongside Duke Fleed and his allies. Initially, he pilots the TFO, a small reconnaissance unit with minimal combat capability. Later, he fights more directly alongside Duke using the Double Spazer, a jet-like machine with greater firepower that attaches to Grendizer, granting it flight capabilities similar to the Scrander.
His personality echoes his portrayal in the original Mazinger Z anime. He is stubborn, hot-blooded, direct, and confrontational. However, he has matured somewhat, as evidenced in Great Mazinger. He is still likely to be the first to charge into battle, but he is now more open to reason.
Shin Mazinger
The protagonist of the series. Kouji lives with his younger brother Shiro and his grandfather Juuzo in their manor in Atami. Although his grandfather caused the accident that apparently killed his parents, Kouji harbors no ill will toward him and, in fact, holds him in high regard, attacking anyone who dares to insult his grandfather.
During the Ashura Corps' first attack on Atami, Juuzo sends the hover pilder to Kouji, instructing him to use it to fly home quickly. Just as he reaches the manor, it is completely obliterated, and Juuzo unleashes his life's work from his underground lab: the super robot Mazinger Z. After docking the pilder with Mazinger's head, Juuzo tells Kouji that with Mazinger, he possesses the power to do anything he desires with the world—he could even become a god or a devil. As the ultimate penance for accidentally killing his parents, Juuzo intends to make his grandson superhuman. Having been granted this newfound power, Kouji decides to use it to fight the Kabuto family's long-time enemy—Dr. Hell—and his army of mechanical beasts.
