Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer (機動戦士ガンダムハイ・ストリーマー Kidō Senshi Gandamu Hai Sutoriimaa?) is a novel written by Yoshiyuki Tomino. Originally titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack (機動戦士ガンダム 逆襲のシャア Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Gyakushū no Shā?), the novel included illustrations by Yukinobu Hoshino and was published by Tokuma Shoten between the years 1987 and 1988 in the magazine Animage. The plot of the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack film was a modified adaptation of this novel.
When the decision was made to turn High-Streamer into a movie, Tomino drew up a new story outline which added Beltorchika Irma and turned Amuro Ray into a family man. The sponsors didn't like the idea, and reverted to the original High-Streamer storyline, albeit with a few changes. Tomino later wrote a new novel based on his rejected movie plot.
In 2002, the novel was reprinted with new covers, new illustration and new designs by Chimaki Kuori. At this time the official title of the novel was changed to Mobile Suit Gundam High-Streamer.
