Greenman

"I am Greenman. An envoy of God. I'm here to protect the children."

- Greenman introducing himself (Go! Greenman Episode 1: Greenman vs. Garameddon)

Greenman (グリーンマン, Gurīnman) is a warrior mecha created by that first appeared in the 1973  and Nippon TV tokusatsu series, Go! Greenman.

Name
Greenman's Japanese name: Gurīnman (グリーンマン) is a combination of "green," spelt in Japanese as Gurīn (グリーン), and the English word "man." This most likely refers to him being built to look like a human man, and his mostly green color.

Appearance
Unlike Godman, who was conceived to resemble Ultraman, Greenman more closely resembles a Japanese Samurai. He has a bright, multicolored helmet with a cyan 'mask' which covers his eyes, and has an emerald or jade gemstone centered on it. At the top of his helmet is a crest from which reddish colored fur rests on. He wears a burgundy chestplate with orange patterning, which sits on top of his green suit, and has a red lamp in its center. This chestplate can open up to reveal an array of cannons, which Greenman uses in his 'Greenman Breaster' move. Greenman also possesses a belt similar to his chest plate, and upper-leg armor extends from it. He has silver gloves and boots, and a white scarf around his neck. In episode 1, Greenman vs. Garameddon, Greenman's strength is explained when Garameddon shoots Greenman with electricity. He is mechanical in nature, and has a complex network of machines inside his chest.

Personality
In ''Go! Greenman'', Greenman is a robotic envoy of God and savior of Earth. He will stop at nothing to protect the children of Earth, resulting in the defeat of any monster that threatens their safety.

Greenman also seems to have some-what of "emotions" such as in Greenman vs. Minilla, where Minilla's pacifier was taken from him causing the monster to begin crying. Instead of killing the monster, Greenman spared it. But, Minilla was killed anyway at the hands of his master, and Greenman began laughing.

Go! Greenman
Greenman was sent by God to Earth to protect the children there. He lives in space a short distance away from Earth. His arch nemesis, Maoh, the source of all evil in the world, has his loyal underling Cretin create to collect the blood of children. Greenman is then called by the children using two devices known as the Green Calls, and protects the children. Greenman then defeats the rampaging monster, and returns to space, awaiting another call from the children.

Go! Godman (2008 film)
In the special, Greenman returned to Earth when Mika Ayase found and used one of the Green Calls, possibly suggesting that she was one of the kids who Greenman originally protected. The hero aided Godman in his combat with Gaira and Jilarji; though, his appearance wasn't much more than a cameo.
