Hayato Jin (Disambiguation)

Daikessen-0003 (2) — Hayato Jin, as seen in the original manga.

Hayato Jin (神隼人 Jin Hayato) refers to one of several major characters across the continuity of Getter Robo, all of who play a key role in the founding of the Getter Team, and later going on to assemble, mentor, and train future incarnations of it as time goes on, even completing a Getter Machine under his own supervision.

An aloof pariah turned Getter Machine Pilot, Hayato commandeers the jet known as Jaguar, and acts as head pilot of Getter 2. Cold, pragmatic, and methodical, Hayato Jin often takes the role of strategist of the Getter Team, and more often than not prefers to take a more subdued and cunning approach to battles, although he is just as physically capable as the rest of his teammates.

While initially starting off throughout the the series as an unhinged, sociopathic counter-revolutionary, he is more often than not forced against his will to help act as a pilot of Getter Robo. Yet as time goes on he begins to mellow out, and comes to respect and even care for his new found comrades at the Saotome Institute, although he occasionally becomes temporarily unhinged during times of stress and excitement.

Despite his sneaky and pragmatic approach to combat, Hayato is still a force to be reckoned with, and both in and out of his Getter Machine he displays a quick, unorthodox fighting style, powerful enough to equal his fellow teammate Ryoma. In addition, as a result of his past as a counter-revolutionary terrorist, Hayato possesses a vast knowledge of fire arms, vehicle skills, and other methods of improvised warfare, which he is more than willing to make extensive use of whenever he can.
