- "Janperson, For Justice!"
- ―Janperson.[src]
Janperson (ジャンパーソン Janpāson?) is a purple and silver robot who works as a detective. He was once a killing machine known as the MX-A1 (エムエックスエーワン Emu Ekkusu Ē Wan?), that was deactivated due to him becoming out of control but was later rebuilt with human emotions by the young female scientist Kaoru Saegusa. Like RoboCop, he upholds the law but he is purely mechanical. He is seen as the kind of police officer who never gives up that easily. He also has problems dealing with his former life as MX-A1 when he is forced to destroy evil easily. He wears a jumper but in combat mode, he wears goggles.

Normal Mode (ノーマルモード Nōmaru Mōdo?), with his Face Guard removed. In the early appearances, as the name suggests (janper + person[note 1][1]), he sometimes wore leather jumpers (and leather trousers). Then he took them off, set his goggles (starting Action Mode), and was ready for battle.

It has a strong body, a robot-like side with a lot of combat equipment, kindness and warmth, and it has a side that can understand and accept the pain and sadness of people (other than others). He has an absolute belief in his own justice as well as human life and love, and for that reason, he has shown his willingness to throw his own life and to turn the state power into an enemy. However, at the root of this, the excessive poetic justice AI of the prototype MX-A1 remains while being suppressed [note 2]. Eventually, he cuts off the right and wrong judgment circuit himself, returns to MX-A1 and heads to kill Bill Goldy, but regains his heart in the battle.
Janperson is composed of the following parts:
- Super Computer (スーパーコンピュータ Sūpā Konpyūta?): Located in Janperson's head. With this mechanism, he can think, get upset, and get rid of things. Allows him to get along well with humans and does not make a wrong judgment.
- High Power Unit (ハイパワーユニット Hai Pawā Yunitto?): Located on Janperson's chest. It is a mechanism that produces tremendous power, but the type of energy being used is a mystery.
- Ultra-Hybrid Motor (ウルトラハイブリッドモーター Urutora Haiburiddo Mōtā?): A small motor mounted on the shoulder, allowing Janperson to withstand the weight of large objects thrown at him.
