History[]

Mirrorman[]

Kyotaro was a journalist which give him some experience in investigating strange happenings. As the son of a human and the original Mirrorman, Kyotaro could transform into a copy of his father's true form. Once transformed he possessed all the same abilities and techniques his father did. For this reason was he targeted by the Invaders, a group of evil aliens responsible for the destruction of his father's physical form. Seeking world conquest, Kotaro's powers made him an obvious threat. With the help of SGM, an organization dedicated to stopping them, he fought the Invaders and Mirrorman. 

Transformation[]

Mirror Pendant: To transform, Kyotaro holds the Mirror Pendant up in his hands stretched outward. He faces a reflective surface, even a droplet of water will do, and shouts "Mirror Spark". Kyotaro enters the Mirror World and returns as Mirrorman. Later on he can do this without the Pendant, only needing a reflective surface.
