Hikarian(ヒカリアン) is a Japanese anime series. The first series, Chō Tokkyū Hikarian (超特急ヒカリアン) is about a series of bullet trains that are turned into robots. The robots, along with two humans named Tetsuyuki Shinbashi (新橋 テツユキ Shinbashi Tetsuyuki) and Minayo Kanda (神田 ミナヨ Kanda Minayo), have to stop an alien invasion. A new series, Denkōchō Tokkyū Hikarian (電光超特急ヒカリアン), was later created. The new series stars a new Hikarian, Lightning West, and a new human lead, Kenta Hijiribashi (聖橋 ケンタ Hijiribashi Kenta).
