Hikari Sentai Maskman (光戦隊マスクマン, Hikari Sentai Masukuman, Light Squadron Maskman) is a Japanese Tokusatsu television show and Toei's eleventh entry of the Super Sentai metaseries. It aired on TV Asahi from February 28, 1987, to February 20, 1988, replacing Choushinsei Flashman and was replaced by Choujyu Sentai Liveman with a total of 51 episodes. Its international English title as listed by Toei is simply Maskman.[1]
It was the first Super Sentai series that showcased each members having their own individual vehicles that forms their robot (previous shows had robots, but any ranger could pilot any robot), and the first in which five robots combined to form a larger robot (previous series had only 2 or 3 robots combining to form a larger robot). It also introduced non-Japanese martial arts discipline.
