Microid S (ミクロイドS, Mikuroido Esu) is a manga series written and illustrated by Osamu Tezuka, published in Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion from March to September 1973. It was later adapted into an anime series by Toei.
The anime adaption of Tezuka's manga Microid Z (ミクロイドZ, Mikuroido Zetto), replaced the letter "Z" with an "S" as to match the initial letter of the show’s sponsor, Seiko.[1] It consisted of 26 episodes and was originally broadcast on TV Asahi.[1][2]

Yasuaki Suzuki as Dr. Midoro, Nobel Prize-winning scientist who befriends the tiny heroes.[4]
Ichirô Nagai as Gidoron, ruthless ruler of a highly advanced insect empire beneath the Arizonadesert who sends his army of ant-like Gidrons and other mutant bug monsters to conquer the world and purge it of pollution-causing humans.[4]
