!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/AkiraKamiya (Japanese), Roberto Chevalier/Alessio Cigliano (Italian), Jordi Nogueras (Catalan), Deng Rongjiao (Hong Kong Cantonese)

The main character of the series. An astronaut, karateka and pilot of the titular machine Daimos. Kazuya's father Isamu was killed during an attempt to broker peace with the Balmians. During his first battle with Daimos, Kazuya found an amnesiac girl named Erika and fell in love, despite eventually learning that she was actually the Princess of Baam. His love continues to drive him forward despite others warning him against it. Along the way, he learns that the Baamites are more than just mere invaders, and how some of the men fighting for his side weren't that squeaky clean.

----

[[caption-width-right:700:Sayuri]]

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like Kenichi after his CharacterDevelopment, Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it and disavows Miwa's goals of murdering the Baam.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Richter misunderstood Leon's poisoning as a plot by the humans to destabilize the Baam and shot Isamu as {{Revenge}}. Had he stayed a little longer and calmed himself, he could have traced the origins of the plot to the true culprit.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], Kenichi], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it and disavows Miwa's goals of murdering the Baam.

** Averted in the French and Italian dubs where he stays '''Kazuya Ryuuzaki'''.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his actual predecessor, TheHero Prince Heinel's younger brother[ TheLeader Kenichi, from Anime/VoltesV after the latter's CharacterDevelopment], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope due to him being an AllLovingHero from the start. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.

** Averted in the French and Italian dubs.

** Phillippine-English: '''Joanna'''. Most other dubs avert this, though, as she's still Nana in the French, Italian and Starbirds dub.

* AllLovingHero: Kazuya runs on this ideal , full stop and he remains this way even when he finds exceptions, such as Miwa.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [Anime/VoltesV Kenichi, after the latter's Character Development], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope due to him being an AllLovingHero from the start. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.

* UpperClassTwit: Intelligence isn't her strong point. Even when she's held hostage by Balbas, she doesn't take the situation seriously and continues to annoy him, even though it could get her killed.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi], after the latter's CharacterDevelopement, Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope due to him being an AllLovingHero from the start. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.

* BadassPacifist: Kazuya is generally opposed to using violence to solve conflicts, unless his buttons are pushed one too many times. After Miwa attempts to utilize a hydrogen bomb on an innocent populace, Kazuya is so enraged, it results in a major OOCIsSeriousBusiness moment where Kyoshiro and Nana have to restrain him from beating him into a pulp.

* FriendToAllChildren: Harming children is a BerserkButton for him. Killing them is also another way to press it, as seen in episode 2 after the death of a young boy who been teasing him and Erika beforehand.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Much like his predecessor [[Anime/VoltesV Kenichi]], Kazuya is a firm believer of this trope. He tells Sayuri that if she kills a wounded Balm solder who can't fight back, she will never be able to go back from it.

* FriendToAllChildren: Harming children is a BerserkButton for him.

** Starbirds dub: ""Dr. Jonathan Hunter""

** Starbirds dub: Dr. Jonathan Hunter

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Nana has loved Kazuya ever since they were little, but he's never been interested in her. She sheds tears seeing Kazuya mourn for Erika, because she knows he'll never see her the same way.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Subverted. Nana and Kazuya are adopted siblings, but while she has a crush on him, he doesn't reciprocate it. Nana often implied that she viewed him as more than a friend, but he always viewed her as a sister rather than a love interest.

* DubInducedPlotlineChange: Every foreign dub of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}'' removes Nana's crush on Kazuya because he's her brother.

This page is dedicated to tropes regarding the Earthling cast of ''Anime/{{Daimos}}''.

!!Main characters
[[folder:Kazuya Ryuuzaki]]
!!Kazuya Ryuzaki (竜崎 一矢)
!!!'''Voiced by''': Creator/AkiraKamiya (Japanese), Roberto Chevalier/Alessio Cigliano (Italian), Jordi Nogueras (Catalan), Deng Rongjiao (Hong Kong Cantonese)

The main character of the series. An astronaut, karateka and pilot of the titular machine Daimos. Kazuya's father Isamu was killed during an attempt to broker peace with the Balmians. During his first battle with Daimos, Kazuya found an amnesiac girl named Erika and fell in love, despite eventually learning that she was actually the Princess of Baam. His love continues to drive him forward despite others warning him against it. Along the way, he learns that the Baamites are more than just mere invaders, and how some of the men fighting for his side weren't that squeaky clean.

!!Mecha
[[folder: Daimos]]
The titular robot of the series who is created by Daimovic Base and piloted by Kazuya Ryuukzaki.

[[caption-width-right:700:Daimos]]
[[caption-width-right:700: [[labelnote:Reference sheet]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daimos_manga.png[[/labelnote]]]]

* ArmedLegs: Has this that reveals weaponry to catch off a Baam robot off guard.
* CallingYourAttacks: Very, very much so.
* CoolCar: Kazuya's Tryper 75S is this as it allows him to board inside a Cool Tranzer, which in turn transforms into Daimos.
* ChestBlaster: '''"DOUBLE/FIRE BLIZZAAAAAAARRRDDD!!!"'''
* DiagonalCut: Daimos does this to a enemy mecha in episode 8. And he did not it with a bladed weapon but with its hand.
* DubNameChange: Dynamo in the Starbirds dub.
* ExpressiveMask: Of a fashion. The frontal part of Daimos' head is shaped like a human face. Although it seems emotionless by default (during transformation sequence, for example) it is somehow capable of making facial expressions -- like opening mouth when hit, as if screaming in pain -- despite being a piece of metal.
* LauncherMove: Double Blizzard sends an enemy flying up, and on the way down it is jump kicked into oblivion, ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice by Daimos' fist or CleanCut down the middle by a karate chop. It gets upgraded later in the series into Fire Blizzard, which follows a [[FreezeRay Freezer Storm]], thanks to the enemy upgrading their robots' armor.
* MadeOfExplodium: Some {{Robeast}}s exploded even if Kazuya only had punched through them or sliced in two pieces with a karate chop or sweeping kick. It was justified in the episode 9, though, when he fought a mecha that had a nuke inside.
* MeaningfulName: Daimos is named after ''Deimos'', the satellite of Mars. Makes sense since it's a robot created by an astronaut that mostly fights machinery from space.
* MotionCaptureMecha: Is this as its pilot Kazuya uses his Karate skills to control its movements and fight the Baam {{Robeast}} in battle. On a meta level, Daimos's movements were drawn from that of Japanese swordfighter [[https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%AB%98%E6%A9%8B%E4%B8%80%E4%BF%8A Kazutoshi Takahashi]].
* RammingAlwaysWorks: Ramming its fist -or itself- through the enemy is one of the actual attacks from Daimos, and often Kazuya uses it like a FinishingMove.
* {{Shoryuken}}:
** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis "Hissatsu! Reppu! Seikenzukiii!"]]
** Daimos pulled this off nearly a full decade before the first Franchise/StreetFighter game came out. It looks the most Shoryuken-like in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' franchise though.
* SuperRobot: Daimos is of the last ones before the advent of the RealRobotGenre with the release of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' in 1979 (the same year as Daimos's final episode).
* TelescopingRobot: The ornament on Daimos's chest are in reality two daggers, and they covered a hatch opened up to reveal its ChestBlaster. Its feet are also armed with [[ArmedLegs retractable spikes]] for good measure.
* ToTheBatpole: Kazuya's boarding/transformation sequence clocks in at over two minutes long.
* TrainingFromHell: Kazuya, in terms of how he got back to shape from rehabilitation.
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: After shouting "JUST IN!" and having Kazuya's CoolCar enter the rear of Daimos in truck trailer "Tranzer" form, he then travels from driver seat to the main Tranzer cockpit, where he gets hooked up with cables on his arms and shoulders before announcing, "DAIMOS BATTLE TURN!", which starts the Daimos TransformationSequence.
* TransformingMecha:
** One of the first Anime examples. Daimos had two forms: a truck-like land vehicle and battle robot.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0zrzDkzXoc&feature=related The transformation also takes FOREVER]], with multiple cockpit switches.
* TragicKeepsake: The robot itself is this as it was created by Isamu Ryuzaki for his son, Kazuya, and is all he has to remember him by.
* TrickedOutShoes: Daimos had rockets on its feet AND retractable spikes to simultaneously kick and stab {{Robeast}}s with.
* VariableLengthChain: The "Daimos Chain Shark" is composed of variable length chains with a hook that shoot from above Daimos's hands.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Galva]]
The plane flown by Kyoushiro Yuzuki, which helps Daimos in battle. Ocassionally co-piloted by Nana.
----

[[quoteright:569:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galva.png]]
[[caption-width-right:569:Galva]]
* CoolPlane: Galva can withstand heavy damage, and also fires missiles and other projectiles at the Baamite's MonsterOfTheWeek.
* CowardlyYellow: Absolutely inverted, Kyoushiro will fly the yellow-coloured Galva into the most dangerous of situations to help his BestFriend.
* SurpriseVehicle: Most of the mecha don't notice the Galva until it shoots at them or if it's up close.

* MissionControl: The Daimovic workers serve to aid Daimos in terms of repairing damage and upgrades. Kyoushiro and Nana also pilot the Galva ship, which assists Daimos in battle.
