The story of Kyashan the android boy begins when the famous scientist Azuma, considering the serious pollution of the earth, builds 4 androids in order to clean it of all the waste.

The androids are under the guidance of Briking Boss, the most powerful and intelligent robot, who unfortunately, due to a violent storm, is struck by lightning and goes mad, thus rebelling against its creator. The other androids Sagure, Akubon and Barashin (reminiscent of some Nazi generals), ally with their commander and declare war on humans to defend the cause of humanoids. The scientist Azuma realizes the serious threat and his son Tetsuya reminds him that the only way to fight these androids is to turn himself into a cyborg too. Thanks to the highly technological machines Tetsuya will be transformed forever into Kyashan the powerful android boy and the same fate will befall his mother Midori who will be transformed into the mechanical swan Swami, who however will be able to summarize his original appearance and give valuable advice to Kyashan by projecting his image on the night sky.

Despite everything, Briking manages to capture the scientist Azuma, who is locked up in their prisons and forced to design other evil androids. This will be one more reason for Kyashan to battle the army of androids and support there will also be the faithful dog Flender, a robot that can transform into any type of vehicle if necessary: ​​a motorcycle, a tank, a plane etc ...
