D-Boy/Blade/Slade/Takaya Aiba/Nick Carter/Ness Carter/Tekkaman Blade/Teknoman Slade

The titular main character of the show. Takaya is the 2nd son of the Aiba family and was to become a Tekkaman, until his father saved him and had him launched to Earth, in turn becoming Tekkaman Blade, a being hell bent on Radam's destruction.

  • To further drive the point home, he effectively takes the same place as Complete Monster Miwa Sakimori had serving the same guy in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3.
• Fantastic Racism: To extremes at time, even treating the hero like a bastard traitor to his own race simply for being a Tekkaman despite the fact he obviously is one Colbert's side (i.e.- he wants the Radam dead as much as said General does)
• General Ripper
• It Must Be Mine: About Blade.
