Biography[]
Eiffel is Ippei's horse. In episode 5, Ippei states that Eiffel was like a mother to him, as he grew up as an orphan in an immigrant village in California. Ippei and Eiffel became rodeo stars in America, until Hamaguchi had Ippei taken to Big Falcon against his will and forcibly separated from Eiffel. Because of this, Ippei grew to resent Hamaguchi and the Voltes team. When Ippei announced he was leaving, Kenichi tried to forbid him and challenged him to a fight. When Megumi reported this to Hamaguchi, he replied that he had already arranged for Eiffel to reunite with Ippei. Megumi then told Ippei, who took Eiffel and ran, with Kenichi chasing after him. During the chase, the Boazanians attacked Earth, causing a building to fall and nearly kill Eiffel by the falling debris. Ippei then decided to re-join the team to protect Eiffel. Unfortunately, Kenichi accidentally blasted a ray near Eiffel when trying to protect Ippei, causing Ippei to become furious and accuse him of trying to murder his horse. He continued to believe this until Kenichi proved that it was an accident, after which he apologized to Kenichi.
Eiffel makes another appearance in episode 31, when Ippei catches Megumi picking flowers and asks if they're for a boy. Megumi hides who they really are for, but Ippei is curious, and unbeknownst to her, he follows her on Eiffel to see who she gives them to. When Megumi places them on her father's grave and starts crying, Ippei is saddened and feels protective of her, vowing to get revenge on the Boazanians for killing General Oka.
Trivia[]
- Eiffel can seemingly understand Japanese, and listened to Ippei when he told her to hide.
