A Sci-Fi/SF doujinshi by Fumio (sometimes Tomio) Sakamoto (坂本富実雄), an illustrator who collaborated with Makoko Kobayashi and an artist by the name of "Hidehilo Iimulo" (I believe this is a Romanization of another artist totally, though I cannot confirm). There are no records of Fumio's work sans for Yahoo and auction listings, and the books themselves only credit themselves and the few artists they collaborated with. An excerpt from the beginning of vol. 1 reads as follows:

"The Science Fiction Movie Original Drafting Committee is currently a group of amateur designers.

For the setting of the "Louvre Knights Story" with the SF Movie, several designers competed to create original mechanisms.

Here, we introduce the space fighter "Night Fighter II" by Sakamoto, who pursued the beauty of the real thing in the original mechanism, followed by "Night Fighter I", which expressed the image of a knight directly in the mechanism, and "Dogo Fighter", which was designed primarily to be "different" from the previous two.For editing purposes, the section is divided into "Night Fighter I & Dogo Fighter" and "Night Fighter II Machine Explanation"

Based on images from Makoto's Twitter/X account, what I own seems to be an incomplete version of vol. 1. Included was a poster in this booklet, though it's not for certain if this was a part of the actual book or not as the art does not correspond. I also received several analog illustrations by Fumio in this particular auction. By Makoto's documentation, this book hails from 1979, though its not certain as to what month it was actually published or if it was ever sold at Comiket, for instance.

Internet Archive now allows for logins, however uploading is currently suspended. Once its back, I will update my uploads with MEGA links and blog links. A thousand thank yous to all who have been encouraging during my recovery as well as to those who have constantly encouraged me to continue pursuing something that is, quite frankly, more than a hobby for me at this point. I appreciate you all! My website is currently undergoing changes in look and accessibility, but I will update this page once it's finished with the MEGA and web backup.

Additional information from Makoto Kobayashi:

-When I was 19 years old and invited by Koichi Kamiyama, the president of this doujinshi, to join, Sakamoto had only written Gundam parodies.
Kamiyama wanted to somehow turn it into a book, so he wrote everything down. It seems that if the book sold well, he would be motivated to continue, but this is a typical tragedy of 'it's pointless to follow someone else's success.'

-私が19歳の時にこの同人誌の会長である神山光一に呼ばれて参加したとき、坂本はガンダムのパロディしか書いてませんでした。
神山はなんとか本にしたいと願ってましたので全て書きました
本が売れたらその気になって続けたようですが、ありがちの「他の人が成功してから追従しても意味がない」悲劇です

-All the text was typed at home and is full-sized. I didn't want to shrink it and have the lines get squashed. Also, the letters LOUVRE KNIGHT STORY and BARTLONEO ONE are printed in gold. The copies that were released afterwards were not gold.

-キャラクター絵もメカ絵も。文字も自宅でタイピングした全て原寸の絵です。縮小指定して線が潰れるのが嫌だった。あとROUBLENIGHTSRTORYの文字とBARTLONEO ONEの文字は金色印刷。その後に出回ったコピー本は金でない。
