Denzi Dog IC (デンジ犬アイシー Denji Inu Aishī) is a robot dog from planet Denzi sent to Earth to protect Denzi Land and the technology within; ultimately to be used when the Vader Clan finally arrive on Earth and the Denziman need to be created.
History[]
IC was created by the scientists of planet Denzi to be the protector of the technology within Denzi Land, most importantly the secret weapon DaiDenzin, when they realized they were doomed due to the effects of Vader Clan monster Umitsular destroying their world. IC was programmed with the means to both utilize and understand the Denzi technology as well as find those suitable to use it. After Denzi Land comes to Earth after the final fall of the homeworld, the sleeping IC was visited by the remaining survivors of the planet lead by Princess Denzi when they discovered the base's whereabouts on Earth, encouraging the settlement of Denzi on the planet to protect Denzi Land and IC until the time for them arrived.

When the Vader Clan finally does reach Earth to destroy it for its beauty, the computer within Denzi Land activates and awakens IC with his mission finally arrived. Traveling through several parts of the initial attack point of the Vader invasion, IC finds five suitable youths, upon which he implants them with the idea that they are Denziman and that they will use the technology in Denzi Land to fight the Vader threat. When the five recruited individuals reach the island-like base, IC presents them with the Denzi Rings allowing them to become Denziman and use DaiDenzin to battle the Vader with the weapons devised in the ancient past.

On some occasions, IC would assist the team, including when he pilots DaiDenzin itself during a Denziman sneak attack.

During the final crisis against the Banriki Monster created by the space barbarian Demon King Banriki, IC apprehensively warns Denziman to not go into combat, fearing for their safety after DaiDenzin's mechanics become damaged in an initial fight. However, when the team chooses to fight regardless and force the robot dog to trust them, he lets them do so accordingly even with the mecha still damaged. When IC receives a transmission from Queen Hedrian revealing the Banriki Monster's ultimate weakness, the dog appears to use DenziTiger to help the team, but in truth, he uses this to abandon his body and merge his own conscious with DaiDenzin, becoming an integrated circuit that gave the giant robot a mind and a connection that allowed for Denziman to finally utilize DaiDenzin to exploit Banriki Monster's ultimate weakness in its tail and defeat their greatest opponent. When the team discovers their mentor's final sacrifice after their ultimate victory against Banriki and the Vader Clan, they understand and decide to memorialize Denzi Dog IC by creating a high school soccer tournament in his name.
