JOE MAYA - Jō Maya (ジョウ・マヤ)

Voiced by: Japanese: Kazuhiko Inoue | English: Cam Clarke

Age 15~16. A boy living with his father in the colony on Mars. His father is a calm, thoughtful figure, almost his opposite. He lost his mother when he was young but often reminisces about the fun he had on Earth. His rebellious and impulsive behaviour lands him in the adventure of his life. He is the first to discover and operate the robots on the Xenos 5, becoming the pilot of the Black Lion.

His best friend is Ronin, a long-lost childhood pal. Among his other friends are Jenny and Mike. Joe and Mike refer to each other as "brother". At first Joe leaves his friends behind in order to defeat Hazzard but they carry on to help him later, especially when his father is kidnapped.

He often teases Jenny about his friends' interest in her. He also treats her like one of the guys. Joe shows romantic feelings for both Jenny and the Princess. He is attracted to the Princess from the very first meeting and is willing to do anything to protect her, but during the last episode, he confesses his love for Jenny. He develops an enmity with Icelander from the beginning due to his rude and rash behavior and his interest in the Princess. He is also very curious about the Cybertron, who continuously appears in battle to aid him. In later episodes, Joe unifies with Cybertron by summoning from his dagger and permanently controls it and the Black Lion is now piloted by Damian.

Appearance
Joe has short length curly spiked brown hair with a full fringe and dark blue eyes.

His main outfit resembles an outfit worn by ninjas and his outfit is a dark blue short sleeved top with a red and black mesh shirt underneath, matching dark blue pants adorned with a black belt and brown knee-length boots. He also wears brown fingerless gloves that reaches through his mid-forearm and carries a dagger which he uses to unify with Cybertron and a handgun which he uses as a weapon.

When he initially pilots the Black Lion and later unifies with Cybertron, Joe wears a black high-neck short sleeved top with red outlines to cover the red and black mesh shirt from his main outfit (as his dark blue short sleeved top was removed) and his belt is now dark gray along with interconnected belts of the same color and a gun holster and his brown knee-length boots are replaced with black knee-length boots with a light blue pentagon design in a red trim. Joe also wears a black wristbands in a red trim along with a matching brown fingerless rider gloves.
