Takuya Yamashiro was a motocross driver, son of the astrophysicist Dr.

As a result, it became a permanent staple of the Super Sentai franchise beginning with Battle Fever J. While series about heroes with a giant robot have been around prior to Yamashiro, it had yet to be combined with a superhero who also fights enemies himself. The series greatly influenced later Tokusatsu series and anime series, as Yamashiro's series introduced the concept of a superhero summoning a giant robot to fight a massive enemy for them. The Takuya Yamashiro incarnation of Spider-Man is drastically different from the traditional Marvel Comics version, with the former sharing the same name, costume, and primary superpowers.
