'''''Warrior of Love Rainbowman''''' is Toho's first {{toku}} show that aired in 1972-1973. It was created by Kohan Kawauchi, who is also responsible for the first tokusatsu, ''Series/MoonlightMask''.

''Warrior of Love Rainbowman'' was Toho's first {{toku}} show that aired in 1972-1973. It was created by Kohan Kawauchi, who was also responsible for the first tokusatsu, ''Series/MoonlightMask''.

The toku series began with Takeshi Yamato, a pro wrestler who goes to India to learn discipline from the old sage Daibadatta. When Daibadatta trains him, he gives Takeshi Yamato the HenshinHero abilities that allow him to transform into Rainbowman. He has [[MultiformBalance seven different forms]], each based off a [[ElementalPowers different element]] and day of week. He goes back to Japan and meets Mr.K, a foreigner so bent or revenge he wants to destroy Japan, and leads the Shine Shine Dan (literally Die Die Army). He makes it his goal to stop them.

The series was successful enough to receive a 1982 anime remake, which replaced the titular hero with a robot named Rainbowman, who was piloted by Takeshi Yamato.

!! This series provides examples of:

* AuthorTract: Kohan Kawauchi was a very right-leaning man and filled Rainbowman with nationalistic messages, and some anti-foreigner messages.

* EliteMooks: The flamethrower-carrying members and the DAC
* EyeScream: Takeshi is blinded in one episode by gunfire

* HeyItsThatGuy: Akihiko Hirata, aka Dr. Serizawa in the original ''[[Film/{{Gojira}} Godzilla]]'', played Mr. K.
** God Iguana was played by MachikoSoga in her first tokusatsu role.

* LyricalDissonance: The second ending theme is an uptempo tune with a cheerful kids choir as backup- about the villains' desire to destroy Rainbowman.

* MookChivalry: Both subverted and played straight: The goons shoot at the same time, but they melee attack like typical mooks
* NamesToKnowInAnime: YuuMizushima sings the opening songs and voices Takeshi Yamato in the anime.

* ReligionOfEvil: The Shine Shine Dan
* ScaryBlackMan: Pagora, also a cyborg

* VainSorceress: Iguana and her mother
* VillainSong: Shine Shine Dan's Theme
