(光の戦士 ダイヤモンド・アイ Hikari no Senshi Daiyamondo Ai),
is a Japanese tokusatsu television program co-produced by Toho and NET that aired from October 5, 1973 to March 29, 1974.
It serves as a spiritual successor to the 1972 series Warrior of Love Rainbowman, and is the second in a trilogy of superhero stories authored by Kohan Kawauchi.

Warrior of Light Diamond Eye focuses on the life of young reporter Kotaro Rai, who had been on the trail of a ring of gem thieves.
But, Rai is faced with an evil that threatens all of Asia, the Zensei Majin who had been in disguise.
Luckily, the man's life was saved by a good spirit named Diamond Eye who had appeared from one of the stolen diamond rings.
From that day on the diamond hero entrusted the ring in Rai, and when he was in need of help, Diamond Eye would appear and protect him.
