The hero of this animation Daisaku Kusama, who works in a diving shop, encounters a mysterious girl, simply called V who leads him to make a contract with an enormous robot "Giant Robo 1 (GR1)" at the ancient ruins (Minami Yonaguni Island) in Okinawa. He made a contract with UNISOM (main organization) and was approved to be a commander of GR1. Thus his battle has begun against GRO (antagonist organization) and creates a lot of dramas.
