Katana is the main anti-hero, who acts as antagonist to the main characters, while at the same time swinging between villain and ally from situation to situation, depending on his ever-shifting mood. Appearing as a gothic mutation of a schoolboy in a striped shirt, sweatervest, tie and slacks, all under a trench coat, Katana is tall and narrow in appearance, gaunt and deathly pale, with a noteworthy scar beneath his left eye, the origin of which is unknown.    At the age of eighteen, Katana works as a man-for-hire, living on the garage-level of an abandoned building on the edge of a junk yard in Night Town. The quiet type, dark, cold, and stoic by nature, Katana lives for the most part alone, having no friends and seemingly not wanting any. Off and on in the series, Katana is involved with the Jacque Bruno gang, working as a Heavy Metal operator and in a way their muscle until he decides to go his own way (which he does often, even if they pop up every now and again). Personality-wise, he shows no interest in much of anything but money and rising to the top of the criminal ladder, as it were, his grand intention to rule over Night Town. While not evil, Katana is a sociopath. (from Wikipedia)

Several hundred years in the future, the resources of the Earth runs out, and the progression of the human race has stagnated. The world is now divided into "Units". A boy named Hajiki Sanada lives with his mother and sister in Unit 74, in a place called "Night Town", in which all electricity is shut down at midnight. The key in this story is an object called the GAD. GADs have the ability to reconstruct materials while reacting to feelings of an organic life. The size and shape of the resulting product seem to be different depending on the kinds of feelings that the life possesses. When Hajiki comes in contact with one by accident, it transforms into a huge robot--a Tekkoudo, or "Iron Giant"--which Hajiki names Lightning. And soon he realizes that he isn't the only one with a Tekkoudo, and must find out how to deal with those others who he feels are the "same" as himself.
