Five youths from Edo City explore a strange rocky island and discover the mecha that Dr. Hoarai had been creating in order to resist the impending attack by a race of subterranean rock people. Dr. Hoarai was ridiculed by the scientific community for his predictions that such an attack would take place. The youths decide to join the doctor (who was dead but had transferred his mind into a computer) in piloting the vehicles and protecting Earth. The Gowapper 5 Godam team is born! With the aid of the giant fighting robot Godam, the Gowapper team under the leadership of Yoko Misaki must face the hordes of the inhuman subterranean people.
Gowappa was the first super robot anime to feature a female as the leader and main character. This was done in an effort to increase the TV viewing demographic to both male and female youth.
Gowappa was released under the Magnemo toy label in Japan in 1976.
