MASKMAN

Mask Planet is a unique place that moves from one planet to another, earning money by presenting "The Universal Free Fighting Tournament” or MMF. While most of its residents have the capacity for being fighters, they generally like to eat a lot and hate exercise. Concern for his people’s health has led the king to make regular exercise a cornerstone of his national policy. As a result, their passion for exercise led them to adopt the practice of “unregulated fighting,” although it fails to diminish their love of food.

When this large, cube-shaped planet suddenly appears in the skies above them, the people of Earth suspect it is an alien invasion and declare an emergency. But following live broadcasts of DaKing and the people of Mask Planet, the residents of Earth are relieved to discover that they have come bearing entertainment.

As the king of Mask Planet, DaKing is bound by tradition to leave his crown to whoever wins the tournament five times. And right now, that looks like it will be the current four-time champion, Darkman. Yet, as Mask Planet blankets Earth’s airwaves with news of the tournament, a spaceship makes an emergency landing that sends it crashing through the roof of Sally's house.

The daughter of explorers and someone with little interest in homemaking, Sally's goal is to head for the Amazon to find pink dolphins, but she still has to care for her household. In the unexpected visitor who’s come crashing through her roof – the perpetually hungry Bikeman – she sees a way to make some money.

In exchange for food and to repay her for the damaged roof, Bikeman becomes Sally’s slave and agrees to train as a tournament fighter. Still, Darkman is determined to do whatever it takes to gain the crown. So when Bikeman starts to win, Darkman begins assembling a powerful group of fighters to stop him.

Power is balanced among the four great Nations of the world: Water, Earth, Air and Fire. The leaders of each nation possess the ability to master their native element.
