Plot
A long time ago, the Yattermen were heroes of justice who fought against the evil Doronbow Gang, exiling them and bringing peace to the Yatter Kingdom. Several generations later, however, the Yattermen have since become corrupt with power while everyone else has been forced to live in poverty and despair. After losing her mother to the Yattermen's selfishness, Leopard, a direct descendant of the gang's leader Doronjo, reforms the Doronbow Gang with Boyacky and Tonzra's descendants, Voltkatze and Elephantus, to rebel against the corrupt Yattermen.[1]Characters
Doronbow Gang
- Leopard (レパード Repādo?) / Doronjo (ドロンジョ?)
- Voiced by: Eri Kitamura
- A nine year-old girl who is a direct descendant of the Doronbow Gang's leader, Doronjo. When her mother dies as a result of the current Yattermen not allowing her to get the medicine she needed, Leopard reforms the Doronbow Gang to take vengeance against the Yatter Kingdom.
- Voltkatze (ヴォルトカッツェ Vorutokattse?) / Boyacky (ボヤッキー Boyakkī?)
- Voiced by: Hiroaki Hirata
- Boyacky's descendant, who serves as the brains of the group, creating various machines out of bits and pieces.
- Elephantus (エレパントゥス Erepantusu?) / Tonzra (トンズラー Tonzurā?)
- Voiced by: Kenta Miyake
- Tonzra's descendant, who serves as the muscle of the group.
- Lord Oda (オダさま Oda-sama?)
- Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi
- Leopard's pet pig. Able to speak, he takes the role of the funny little pig robot cheering up the original Doronbow Gang.
- Galina (ガリナ Garina?)
- Voiced by: Hiroyuki Yoshino
- A 17-year-old boy whose parents were killed by the Yatterman, nicknamed Gatchan. He joins the Doronbow Gang on their journey, making them their new outfits. He generally lacks self-confidence, often using a die to make his decisions, thus he starts having lessons on mechanics from Voltkatze. He is also childhood friends with Alouette and is very protective of her. Doronjo also has feelings for him, a fact she takes some time to accept.
- Alouette (アルエット Aruetto?)
- Voiced by: Shizuka Itō
- A blind 17-year-old girl and childhood friend of Galina, who calls her Ally for short. Like Galina, her parents were killed by the Yattermen, but she is in denial over their deaths. She is very kind-hearted and considers Leopard to be her angel.
Yattermen Army
- General Goro (ゴロー将軍 Gorō-shogun?)
- Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama
- A general working for Yatterman Army. He uses Yatterpug as his robot weapon and fights with a electrical cane. He is hinted to know Galina from before and his dog is friendly with Galina. He claims Lord and Lady Yatterman saved his life (possibly by turning him and his dog into the powerful cyborg beings they're now), so he dedicates it to hunting the Doronbow Gang for them.
- Yatter Soldiers (ヤッター兵 Yattā-hei?)
- Voiced by: Yasuaki Takumi (male), Noriko Shitaya (female)
- Robotics soldiers modelled after the original Yatterman-1 and Yatterman-2, of which there are a large quantity of. Before the advent of General Goro, their field leader was a composite robot, half Yatterman-1 and half Yatterman-2. Instead of the original Kenda-magic and Electric Cane of their human predecessors, they use deadly laser pistols.
Others
- Dorothy (ドロシー Doroshī?)
- Voiced by: Shizuka Itō
- Leopard's mother, who passed away from illness after the Yattermen refused to let Leopard and the others obtain medicine for her.
- Dokurobe (ドクロベエ?)
- Voiced by: Hori
- A skull that fell to Earth long ago and helped form the original Doronbow Gang.
