A failure as a teacher and a familyman, Shinichi tries to escape everyday live by dressing up as the superhero "Zebraman". Although the TV series was canceled after only 6 episodes, this cannot stop him from acting out his escapist fantasy in a self made zebra-suit. He gets more then he could ever wish for when his black-and-white dressed alter-ego seems to be the only thing to stand between absolute (green) evil and a happy ending.

VIBE

A bizarre, energetic ride where a down-on-his-luck teacher dons a zebra suit to escape reality. It's a campy, low-budget spectacle that embraces its absurdity with a propulsive, quirky energy, leading to unexpected heroism.
