3	''Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine'' is a {{Shoujo}} {{toku}} series running from January to December 1990. It was the 11th entry in the ''Franchise/ToeiFushigiComedySeries'' franchise. As one of a number of shoujo series created by Creator/ShotaroIshinomori, it stood out by being parodied and referenced many times later on. It's also one of the few heroines in the franchise to be included in Toei's official superheroes list.

5	Yuko Murakami is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent who goes to a Shinto shrine to pray one day. She knocks down the bell in front of the shrine when she rings it, and awakens Kami-sama, or God himself, who bestows upon Yuko the power to become a fighter for justice, a Super Hero, as Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine. She fights all kinds of villains who want to make life hard for children.

7	!!''Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine'' provides examples of the following tropes:
8
9	* BigBad: Diable.
10	* BigGood: Kami-sama. Can't get any bigger than that.
11	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Poitrine Petite in the finale.]]
12	* ByThePowerOfGrayskull: ''Cosmo Magic, Metamorphosis!''
13	* CoolCar: Poitrine drives one in the first opening. Kami-sama drives it in the actual show.
14	* CoolSword: [=BellSaber=]
15	* CreepyChild: In multiple episodes, an emotionless young schoolgirl Arai politely and creepily asks Takuto and the Poitrine Club to find a certain trinket in a creepy old building; locating this item usually opens a portal to ghosts or villains from old Japan, requiring Poitrine to save the day. In one episode, Arai creeps out Yuko by materializing in the living room with a well-dressed man, whom she reveals is an alien in human form.
16	* {{Crossover}}: 23 years later, she's back, in ''Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderWizardAndFourzeMovieWarUltimatum''. However, she's TheOtherDarrin. And [[spoiler:AllJustADream, as she only exists in the [[Series/KamenRiderWizard donut shop owner's Underworld]]]].
17	* DamselInDistress: Happens to Poitrine ''a lot'', almost OncePerEpisode. Likely for {{fanservice}}.
18	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The ending, sung by Yuko's actress.
19	* DubNameChange:
20	** To "Patrine" in the Portuguese dub, likely due to "Poitrine" translating to "breasts" in French.
21	** Yuko's name was changed to Sayuri. Her family name Murakami, became Nakami.
22	* KidSidekick: Poitrine Petite, [[spoiler:she's really Yuko's little sister, Momoko.]]
23	* MagicalGirl: One of the live action ones at that.
24	* OutsideContextProblem: Quite understandably, the mundane villains Poitrine ends up going after are surprised to find themselves fighting a superhuman MagicalGirl.
25	* PoliceAreUseless: Inspector Honada dislikes Poitrine because she believes she makes the police look bad.
26	* SealedGoodInACan: Kami-sama.
27	* SecretIdentity: Poitrine will be turned into a frog is she reveals hers.
28	* TagalongKid: Yuko's brother Takuto and his friend's "Poitrine Club". They often end up targets of the MonsterOfTheWeek.
29	* TransformationSequence: Of course.
30	* TransformationTrinket: The Orgel Pendant. This is later replaced with a compact mirror. Poitrine Petite uses a wand, which is also her weapon.
