[edit] Storyline
Monkey Typhoon tells the story of four asabots, a form of robots whose general title is a portmanteau of the words association and robot, headed by Goku, voiced by InuYasha seiyū Kappei Yamaguchi, who are assisted in their journeys by the human, Sanzō, voiced by Tomokazu Seki, the son of the creators of the asobots along with Susie, Tongō and Jō. Later on they are joined by Mīyōn and her sister Shīyōn (who is actually a member of Professor D's quartet but later on is saved by Goku). Their quest is to stop their world's destruction by collecting the legendary 49 keys to unlock the twin headed dragon door. Along the way the asobots gain the ability to evolve further such as one of Jō's daggers soon allow him to wield the Feather Blade, Tongō's Chain Hammer evolves into the Megaton Hammer, Gōku's Joystick also evolves but has no new name, instead it gains 4 evolution keys allowing Goku power over different elements and new abilities such as the improved "Easter Wind" and "Fire Vortex Revolution". Together in their many voyages, they come across several foes and enemies such as Loki, Professor D, the Quartet, Dobberman King,and many more as well as grow united in their friendship.
