From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hikarian (ヒカリアン
?) is a Japanese anime series.
The first series, Chō Tokkyū Hikarian
(超特急ヒカリアン) is about a series of bullet trains that are turned into robots.
The robots, along with two humans named Tetsuyuki Shinbashi (新橋
テツユキ Shinbashi Tetsuyuki) and Minayo Kanda (神田 ミナヨ
Kanda Minayo), have to stop an alien invasion.
A new series, Denkōchō Tokkyū Hikarian
(電光超特急ヒカリアン), was later created. The new series stars a new
Hikarian, Lightning West, and a new human lead, Kenta Hijiribashi
(聖橋 ケンタ Hijiribashi Kenta).
Enoki Films has
licensed the series. The company has suggested name changes (e.g.
Tetsuyuki becomes Terry and Minayo becomes Mina) but the series is
not yet available in English, and Enoki may sublicense the series
to another company who may decided to keep the original Japanese
names, use Enoki's suggested English names, or use original English
names.
