Tomica Hero Rescue Force (トミカヒーロー　レスキューフォース, Tomika Hīrō Resukyū Fōsu^?) is a Japanese tokusatsu television series that began airing April 5, 2008, on TV Aichi. It is based on Tomy's Tomica toy car line. The characters use Tomica's Super Tools (スーパーツール, Sūpā Tsūru^?) and Super Vehicles (スーパービークル, Sūpā Bīkuru^?) to help save people, instead of fighting a single evil.^[1][2] It is the second tokusatsu series that Tomy has been involved in following Madan Senki Ryukendo. It is directed by Masato Tsujino (辻野 正人, Tsujino Masato^?) and written by Shinichi Inotsume (猪爪 慎一, Inotsume Shin'ichi^?) and Hiroyuki Kawasaki (川崎 ヒロユキ, Kawasaki Hiroyuki^?), the same team behind Ryukendo.^[3]
