Grade-school teacher Shinichi just can't get any respect. His wife treats him like a nuisance, his daughter ignores his every word, his coworkers think he's pitiful. His students regard him as a bore and an imbecile, and mercilessly bully his son, who wants nothing to do with him as a result. The only place Shinichi can find any confidence and self-esteem is alone in his room, where he's secretly sewn together a costume. It's a perfect replica of the suit worn by Zebraman, the hero of a third-rate 1970s superhero show that nobody remembers except Shinichi -- and much to his joy, the new, wheelchair-bound student at his school. At the same time, strange things are occurring throughout the area. The citizens are nervous, and the military has dispatched agents to uncover - or perhaps cover up -- the source of the danger. Shinichi's urge to sneak out and prowl in his costume, to feel what a hero feels when guarding the night from evil, soon has him dragged into an increasingly bizarre mystery.

School teacher Ichikawa, sometimes known as Zebraman, suddenly awakes 15 years later in the year 2025. The megapolis known as Tokyo has now been renamed to Zebra City. The city has become virtually crime free due to a new measure known as "Zebra Time." Every morning and evening for five minutes "Zebra Time" is implemented, which allows the Zebra Police to eliminate any potential criminals. Soon enough, Ichikawa comes under attack by the Zebra Police, but is saved by Ichiba and taken away to a safe haven known as the "White Horse House". At the "White Horse House," survivors of "Zebra Time" recover from their wounds, while plotting methods to overthrow the city's govenor who implemented "Zebra Time". Throughout all of this, Ichikawa has lost his memory & cannot remember his past as Zebraman ...
