B-Robo Kabutack

B-Robo Kabutack drops you into a bright corner of Toei's world of Metal Hero heroes. The series centers on a tiny but determined robot named Kabutack who teams up with a group of kids to keep their neighborhood safe from small troubles and bigger schemes. Kabutack's circuitry and goofy charm let him improvise clever fixes, while his metal adventures teach ordinary children how courage, cooperation, and clever problem solving can overcome obstacles. The show blends colorful costumes, practical effects, and kid friendly humor with gentle lessons about friendship. Set within Toei's Metal Hero universe, it marks a turning point as the first kid friendly entry.

The show aired from February 23, 1997 to March 1, 1998 and is counted as the sixteenth entry in Toei's Metal Hero Series. It stands out as Toei's first dedicated kiddie edition within that line.

Critics and fans remember Kabutack as a cheerful entry that balanced light drama with gadget driven action. The show emphasizes cooperation, problem solving, and kindness, presenting approachable science and robotics ideas for a young audience while weaving in the broader Metal Hero vibe. Its tone appealed to families daily.

Among fans the series holds a niche place in 90s tokusatsu memory. Kabutack helped shape a friendly image for metal hero IPs aimed at children with a memorable design and simple catchphrases that linger in nostalgia circles and appear in fan art and occasional projects today.
