The main characters of the anime are 5 guys who, to free our planet, will have to face the diabolical Nene.

The shadow-creatures, therefore, will have to clash with the enemy of the moment and, in the various conflicts, will highlight their extraordinary powers, which will prove to be more or less decisive for the final victory. The protagonist of the cartoon is the young Shu, a ten-year-old boy who has the task of saving the planet. Valiant and dynamic, he uses the strongest shadow creature of all, that of the Dragon. The day his people are subjected to an attack by the dark forces of the evil Nene, they are aided in the battle by brave warriors such as: Kluke (a breezy girl, tech genius, with a penchant for Shu) who possesses the shadow of phoenix; Jiro (the team's mascot, overbearing and selfish) with his Minotaur; Zola (a quiet and dark fighter) and the shadow of Killer Bat; and lastly the Marumaro with his creature shadow of the Tiger.
