Special Rescue Police Winspector

Special Rescue Police Winspector takes place in a near-future Japan of the year 1999. As the country is facing a great threat from criminals, new methods of protecting people are created. The Winspector squad, consisting of the robot brothers Walter and Bikel, along with Ryouma (wearing the Fire Tector armor), defend against super powered threats, ranging from mob attacks to scientific experiments gone terribly wrong.

• Ryoma Kagawa/Fire (香川 竜馬/ファイヤー, Kagawa Ryōma/Faiyā): 23 years old. Ryoma is the leader of the team and the only human member. Like Masaki, he is also a Police Superintendent. Kagawa is an orphan skilled in martial arts and knows five languages. His primary means of transportation is a purpose-built car named Winsquad. When initiating his transformation to Fire he calls out "Suit up!" (着化!, Chakka!). He is then equipped with an energy sword - his primary all-purpose weapon - and a suit of red armor named the Crush Tector (クラステクター, Kurasu Tekutā), which enhances his strength and can protect its wearer from poisonous gas, heavy gunfire, and oxygen deprivation, but can only be worn for five minutes at a time due to the stress it puts on his body. There are also other, more specialized weapons and tools available. Ryoma has a sister. He later joined the Solbrain team as Knight Fire.
• Bikel (バイクル, Baikuru): Walter's "twin brother", Bikel is one of two robots who assist Ryouma. His primary means of transportation is his motorcycle. However he also has a wheel integrated into his chest section which he can use to "land-surf" when no vehicle is available. His weaponry consists of twin lances, which can be combined into a longer staff and can alternatively function as the handles of his motorcycle or coin bombs. Bikel's armor is yellow. Being a master of jokes and sometimes a little inane, he's often subject to Walter's anger. He speaks in a Nagoya dialect.
• Walter (ウォルター, Worutā): Bikel's "twin brother", Walter is the other of the two robots in the team. Being equipped with wings enables him to fly, thus requiring no special vehicle. His armor is turquoise. Walter loves children and he is generally the type of "person" who enjoys life.
• Shunsuke Masaki (正木 俊介, Masaki Shunsuke): Shunsuke is Winspector's commander and founder. He usually remains in the headquarters of Winspector, but if necessary, for example when a member falls into a pinch, he goes to the site himself and takes command. After the series, he established another rescue team called Solbrain and made a comeback in the last few episodes of Exceedraft.
• Junko Fujino (藤野 純子, Fujino Junko): Junko is an information G-man. She is an expert with handguns.
• Hisako Koyama (小山 久子, Koyama Hisako): Hisako is a secret G-man. She usually works in a coffee shop. Her father, Masanobu Koyama (小山 正信, Koyama Masanobu), was a colleague of Masaki until he was killed in action six years ago.
• Shin'ichi Nonoyama (野々山 真一, Nonoyama Shin'ichi): Shin'ichi is Winspector's mechanic. He develops rescue tools and maintains Bikel and Walter. Likes playing chess
• Madocks (マドックス, Madokkusu): Madocks is Winspector's supercomputer. Madocks holds data on every criminal and can analyze it in an instant.
• Demitasse (デミタス, Demitasu): Demitasse is a small robot. His main work is to repair Bichael and Walter during emergencies, as well as secret investigation activity.

• GigaStreamer (ギガストリーマー, Gigasutorīmā): The team's strongest weapon, first used in episode 31 to defeat a robot cop named Brian, who was created by the same system as Bichael and Walter, but was reprogrammed to be a killing machine. GigaStreamer has two modes depending on which of two tops (drill or plasma minigun) is put onto it. Its strongest attack is a plasma minigun blast called Maxime Mode which needs Fire to insert his MaxCalibur to the gun. Later Daiki (SolBraver) used it to defeat a chameleon-robot.
• MaxCalibur (マックスキャリバー, Makkusukyaribā): A sword-like gauntlet weapon belonging to Fire, it also shoots lasers.
• BiSpear (バイスピアー, Baisupiā): Bikel's two sticks, which can be combined to form a long rod and are used as the handlebars of WinChaser.
• Dislider (ディスライダー, Disuraidā): Walter's wings, which can transform into a shield. They let him fly, sometimes while carrying Bichael.
• Multi Pack (マルチパック, Maruchipakku): A box with water-shooters and first aid equipment. Used by Fire, Bichael and Walter.
• Daytric M2 (デイトリックM2, Deitorikku Emu Tsū): a laser handgun which can double as a welder. Every member of the team has one and stores it in a holster on the right leg.
• HandWapper (ハンドワッパー, Handowappā): Cuffs.
• WinBadge/FireBadge (特警手帳, Tokkei Techō): Ryoma's police license. Becomes white, when he wears the Crush Tector.
• WinChaser (ウインチェイサー, Uincheisā): A Suzuki TS200 and Bikel's bike, who received it in episode 15.
• WinSquad (ウインスコード, Uinsukōdo): Ryoma's car and transformation device. It's a version of a Chevrolet Camaro colored white. Since ep. 15 when Ryoma puts the blue-colored SPCard (SPカード, Esu Pī Kādo), the WinSquad transforms to a red FireSquad (ファイヤースコード, Faiyāsukōdo).
• Masaki's undercover car: Chief Masaki's car in undercover operations. A White (brown in some episodes) Mazda Luce HC.
• Junko's undercover car: Junko's car in undercover operations. A red Mazda RX-7 FC, similar to KnightFire's Knight Custom in the sequel series Tokkyuu Shirei Solbrain.
