El lugar donde se desarrolla la trama es la ciudad de Pequeño Tokio (Edoropolis en la versión japonesa), que mezcla elementos tradicionales y futuristas. Está poblada por muchos tipos de jujin o animaloides, muchos de los cuales tienen partes cibernéticas en sus cuerpos. El gobernante oficial es el Emperador Fred (Shōgun Tokugawa). Desafortunadamente, el emperador está rematadamente loco, porque le fueron quitadas sus muelas del juicio. Por lo tanto, Pequeño Tokio es actualmente gobernada por la princesa Violeta y un consejo. La cabeza del concilio es el primer ministro Gran Quesote, quien constantemente intenta derrocar al emperador y convertirse en el emperador de Pequeño Tokio. Solamente el Gran Dientón (Al Dente) (Wanko-no-Kami), comandante de la Guardia del Palacio, sabe de los planes clandestinos del Gran Quesote. No tiene pruebas suficientes para exponerlos ante la luz pública y mostrar lo que verdaderamente es Quesote, lo único que le queda es prevenir sus esfuerzos de lo que pueda suceder. Él reclutó tres jóvenes gatos guerreros, los Gatos Samurái, cada uno de los cuales posee habilidades y armas para ayudarlo a mantener la paz entre los ciudadanos de Pequeño Tokio, a pesar de los intentos del Gran Quesote, el cual toma la forma de un robot gigante.
