Synopsis: "Eightman", also known as "8 Man", is an action and science fiction anime that follows the story of a cybernetic detective named Hazama Itsuru. After a fatal accident, he is resurrected as Eightman, a superhero with superhuman strength and incredible speed.
His only hope for survival comes from sacrificing his humanity to become 8Man—a powerful cyborg crime-fighter enhanced with a living human brain. Resurrected as the ultimate high-tech vigilante, it is up to 8Man to bring the lawless to justice and put an end to the escalating cycle of violence.
He shifts himself into his original human self under the new alias as "Hachiro Azuma", where his identity is kept secret from his girlfriend Sachiko and friend Ichiro, except for Tani and his police boss Chief Tanaka. As 8-Man, Hachiro fights crime (even bringing his own murderers to justice).
