The Brave of Sun Fighbird (太陽の勇者ファイバード, Taiyō no Yūsha Faibādo), also known as The Brave Fighter of Sun Fighbird on Japanese DVD releases, is a 1991 anime television series created by Takara and Sunrise under the direction of Katsuyoshi Yatabe and the second incarnation in the Brave series.

Story

In 2010, the evil energy being Drias comes to Earth and allies with evil scientist Dr. Jango, with the Universe Security Force (宇宙警備隊, Uchū Keibitai) pursuing him. In order to interact with Earth and disguise themselves, its members put their energy-formed spirits into either special android vehicles built by Japan's scientist Hiroshi Amano, which have transformable bodies and were intended to be rescue units, or service vehicles. Their commander, Fighbird, uses a human-shaped android created by Hiroshi and assumes the identity of his assistant Yutaro Katori, transforming into Fighbird when danger strikes. While fighting against Drias and Jango's forces, he lives with Hiroshi and his grandchildren, Kenta and Haruka, while adjusting to life on Earth.

Characters

• Yutaro Katori / Fighbird (火鳥 勇太郎 / ファイバード, Katori Yūtarō / Faibādo)
  Yutaro Katori (voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto) is an artificial human whose form Fighbird takes after merging his soul with an android that Hiroshi created to handle his world peace machines, taking his human appearance from a drawing made by his granddaughter Haruka and posing as his assistant. He has artificial blood and skin made of super silicone foam that disappears when he transforms; while disguising himself as Katori, he channels some of his people's natural properties into Fire Jet, his true body disguised as a jet. Despite his lack of familiarity with Earth culture often causing issues, he is kind, protective of Earth and his loved ones, and skilled with technology. He later adopts the alternate identity of Granbird when Fighbird is unusable or not ideal for the situation, with him and Granbird fusing into Great Fighbird through the Strongest Combination.
• Hiroshi Amano (天野 博士, Amano Hiroshi)
  Hiroshi Amano (voiced by Ichirō Nagai) is the 65-year-old head of the Amano Peace Science Laboratory, which develops machines to achieve world peace. They always fail, but he learns his mistakes and often saves the day, especially after the vehicles he designed and built host the souls of some of Fighbird's Space Police teammates. He has financial problems with the land he lives on and is considered an eccentric by his neighbors and fellow scientists.
• Kenta Amano (天野 ケンタ, Amano Kenta)
  Kenta (voiced by Kazue Ikura) is Hiroshi's grandson and the first friend that Katori makes, who looks up to him as an older brother. Along with Katori, he is a special member of the Space Police Force, aiding him in battle and keeping him in touch with the Rescue base. He owns Wrister (リスター, Risutā), a wristwatch robot given to him by Katori.
• Haruka Amano (天野 ハルカ, Amano Haruka)
  Haruka Amano (voiced by Rie Iwatsubo) is Kenta's cousin and Hiroshi's granddaughter, who lives with him since her parents work abroad. She created the picture that inspired Katori's human appearance and has a precocious crush on him.
• Champ (チャンプ, Chanpu)
  Champ (voiced by Kazue Ikura) is Haruka's pet monkey, who was a gift from her parents.
• Yoshiko Kunieda (国枝美子, Kunieda Yoshiko)
  Yoshiko Kunieda (voiced by Masako Katsuki) doctor who works at a local hospital. She has doubted Katori's identity ever since he tried to donate his artificial blood and she noticed strange things in its sample, but was unable to fully analyze it due to him and Kenta taking it away. Over time, she learns about the Universe Security Team's mission and falls in love with Katori. Her ambulance hosts the soul of Guard Rescue.
• Inspector Satsuda (佐津田 刑事, Satsuda Keiji)
  Inspector Satsuda (voiced by Shigezō Sasaoka) is a detective of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, who believes Hiroshi to be connected to a robbery that took place three years ago. While his tactics often backfire, he displays courage and willingness to help people when the situation calls for it. His police car hosts the soul of Guard Star.
• Momoko Yamazaki (山崎 もも子, Yamazaki Momoko)
  Momoko Yamazaki (voiced by Chie Kōjiro) is a news reporter who develops a crush on Fighbird after he saves her when her attempts to report on his battles put her in danger, but is unaware that he and Katori are the same person.
• Ippei & Goro (一平 & 五郎, Ippei & Goro)
  Ippei and Goro (respectively voiced by Daiki Nakamura and Kosuke Tomita) are thieves who planned to steal the crimson diamond from the Persian Treasure Exhibition, which fails due to an encounter with Yutaro and an attack by Drias. During the final battle, Drias enslaves them to build the Devil's Tower, but Katori saves them and they join the Amano Peace Science Laboratory's rescue team soon after.
