Ai Kaminari (Janet in the Spanish and Italian dubs), better known as Ai-chan or Yatterman-2, is the heroine of this second iteration of the Time Bokan series. The 12 year old daughter of renowned electrician Gorozou, she fights together with her boyfriend Gan-chan to defeat the Dorombo gang at every turn.

She helped Gan-chan with completing Yatter-Wan, and shortly afterwards the two decided to become the heroic Yatterman to combat evil. It isn’t long until they’re actually out doing so, when they discover that the notorious Dorombo gang are searching for fragments of the mysterious Dokuro Stone.

Ai-chan’s normal appearance is in a yellow jumpsuit with a purple leotard underneath, and a stylish red cap with an overall heart motif. When she’s Yatterman-2, she turns her clothing inside out to fit her superhero identity. Her jumpsuit is now white (or light pink depending on the episode) and her cap red with the Yatterman insignia displayed on it, and she dons an additional purple mask and gloves.

At times she’ll display traits similar to Junko such as being passive and caring of others, and can be sensitive to personal remarks. Unlike her predecessor though, Ai-chan can be a bit mischievous and is a much more active fighter that can defeat crooks with little effort. Having a courageous, noble heart, she strives to protect the innocent and even help those that seek redemption, though she doesn’t cut the Dorombo gang any slack, especially after Doronjo starts eyeing her boyfriend.

Whenever evildoers get in her way, Ai-chan attacks with her Shibire Stick (aka Paralyzing Stick, Electric Stick in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), a retractable rod that shocks anyone on the receiving end. It can also delfect projectiles and block all sorts of weapons, including swords. With both her and Gan-chan having equal yet distinct fighting skills, Ai-chan alone is capable of wiping the floor with most anyone who dares to fight her.

Roughly thirteen years after the events of the original series, Ai-chan is happily married to Gan-chan and the two are having a romantic honeymoon, almost completely ignoring Omochama’s warnings about the Dorombo gang’s return until the last minute. She and her new husband are definitely quick to respond to later events when the Dorombo gang attempt to challenge the Yatterman twice and seek out magical tulips for their boss.

After missing the initial roster Ai-chan finally made it into Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, replacing Hakushon Daimou. Though she has the smallest amount of health out of all the characters, even lower than Gan-chan’s, her lightning quick attacks can make her a formidable fighter. That’s not taking her supers into account which involve conjuring a heart-shaped spark, calling upon Omochama to fight alongside her, and unleashing Yatter-Pelican and his surprise mechas on the hapless opponent.

Her ending has her, Gan-chan, and Yatter-Wan encounter the Dorombo gang for their hundredth anniversary (which would be 2077?), in which the latter call upon the other bad trios from the various Time Bokan series. They’re all promptly defeated when Ai-chan shocks them all with her Shibrie Stick mid-speech.
