Seiun Kamen Machineman (Nebula Mask Machineman) was a Japanese Tokusatsu series exhibited in Japan during January 13 until September 28, 1984, telling the adventures of Nick, a.k.a Ken Takase, a college student from the Ivy planet (located at the Pleiades) to study the behavior of the Earthlings.

Tropes used in Seiun Kamen Machineman include:
