About Earth Defense Girl Iko-chan
One day, a junior high school girl named Iko Kawai encounters an alien and is given a device called the 'Super Income,' which can grant any wish. She also learns about the existence of Martians plotting to invade Earth. To protect the planet, Iko joins the Earth Defense Force 'LTDT,' using the power of the Super Income.
Directed by Minoru Kawasaki, Earth Defense Girl Iko-chan leans on a strong ensemble — Akiko Isozaki, Yumiko Sugawara, Tadahisa Tamura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1987.
