The Space Sheriff Series (宇宙刑事シリーズ, Uchū Keiji Shirīzu^?), also known as the Space Sheriff Trilogy, is the term used to collectively refer to the first three Metal Hero Series. The three seasons were directed by Hattori Kazuyasu and Yoshiaki Kobayashi, and all named with "Uchu Keiji". This series helped the Metal Heroes genre to grow popular in Japan in the '80s. The Space Sheriff trilogy was quickly exported in European countries, such as France since 1982 (the series was renamed X-OR), Asia (including Indonesia, Malaysia and most notably Philippines) and Latin America (Brazil).
