was the 1993 installment in Toei Company Limited's Metal Hero Series. The series revolved around Janperson, a robotic detective who patrolled the streets of Tokyo and fought against three different underworld organizations who used super technology to subjugate the masses. Unlike most Metal Heroes, a monster-of-the-week was rarely shown and most of the villains are criminals akin to television police dramas. The name given to this series by Toei for international distribution is Jumperson.

; : A purple & silver android robot who works as a detective. He was once a killing machine known as the MX-A1, that was deactivated due to him becoming out of control but was later rebuilt with human emotions by the young female scientist Kaoru Saegusa. Like RoboCop, he upholds the law but he is purely mechanical. He is seen to be the kind of police officer who never gives up that easily. He also has problems dealing with his former life as MX-A1 when he is forced to destroy evil easily.

; : A grey, heavy-armed android created by the Gang Guards to destroy Janperson, he later switched sides and became Janperson's android partner. Armed with two guns - one with an aiming bullet and the other a dumb bullet. He was later armed with a powerful bazooka which he used in battle and had a motorcycle that he uses during battles. Although thought to have been destroyed by Bill Goldy near the finale, he was shown to have survived well enough and joined in the final battle. He had an android-girlfriend named Kai who was also made by the Gang Guards and was killed by the Gang Guards during their first battle with Janperson. Kai was revived by Kaoru at the end of the series, only to be killed again.

; : A young female scientist who is one of Janperson's creators. She reactivated and reprogrammed Janperson after it was shut down the first time by placing human emotions inside it. She gets and gives information to Janperson about his nemesis during the series. She somewhat betrayed Janperson towards the end of the series by destroying their headquarters and reviving Gun Gibson's android-girlfriend Kai. It was found out that these are only just her undercover strategies to get the confidence of Tatewaki/Bill Goldy and find a way to help Janperson to defeat him.
