Hiroshi Nagai, formerly known as Kiyoshi Nagai, was born on September 6, 1945 in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, and graduated from Tokyo Metropolitan Itabashi High School. Because his brother once introduced him to the works of Osamu Tezuka, the "god of manga", he aspired to become a manga artist at an early age. At the age of nineteen, he fell seriously ill and almost died. When he was sick, he felt the horror of "dying like nothing at all", so he started comics. Representative works include "Shame Academy", "Devilman", "Demon God Z", "Gate Robot", "Sweetheart Warrior" and so on. In 1980, his work "The King of Sorrow" won the 4th Kodansha Manga Award.
In the primeval era, the mysterious energy source from the universe, the Geta rays, suddenly descended on the earth, causing the extinction of the vast majority of dinosaurs on the ground, and the rest fled underground to evolve into dinosaur humans; The Saotome Research Institute sees this unknown energy source as a new hope for mankind and develops it. But because of this, the Dinosaur Empire, which is afraid of the Gaita rays, regards the Saotome Institute as a thorn in the side that must be eliminated. In order to keep the Gaita Ray, he had to fight with the Dinosaur Empire. So Dr. Saotome developed a super robot that uses the Geta ray, a weak point in reptilian humans, as a power source. But because of the power, no one can drive at all. Later, he discovered the karate master Ryuyama, who made a big fuss at the national karate tournament, and the student activist Kamihato who tried to cause a revolution to occupy the school park, so as to fight against the dinosaur empire; After several battles, judoka Bamusashi volunteered to become the third pilot of Gaita, and the endless defensive battle began.
