Synopsis

In the year 2025, Tokyo has been transformed into “Zebra City” and completely covered in black and white. Every morning at 5:00am, the sensational singing voice of a woman called Zebra Queen (Riisa Naka) can be heard resounding throughout the city. Suddenly, a man named Shinichi Ichikawa (Show Aikawa) awakes with no idea of where he is. In his confusion, he’s shot at by police and barely manages to escape. After falling unconscious again, he’s rescued by a man in a strange costume and soon finds himself in a small commune outside of the city. Their leader recognizes Shinichi as the school teacher turned super hero who saved Earth from an alien invasion 15 years ago before suddenly disappearing. However, Shinichi has no recollection of where he was during that time...

'Zebraman 2' will be released in Japan on May 1, 2010.
