The Bio Robo arrives on 15th century Japan, where it showers Bio Particles on five young individuals.
Five centuries later, the descendants of these individuals, having inherited Bio Particles from their ancestors, are chosen by Peebo and Bio Robo to become the Bioman team in order to protect the Earth from the Neo Gear Empire, an organization led by the mad scientist Doctor Man.
