Koujirou Shindou, a government official known for his negotiation skills, was on a business trip when his plane was taken into a mysterious structure by a giant cube. The authorities were unable to breach the cube's defenses, and Shindou encountered Yaha-kui zaShunina, an entity from a higher dimensional universe called Novo. Yaha-kui zaShunina claimed to be non-hostile and sought Shindou's help in communicating with the human world through the cube, known as Kado, which could transfer information between universes. He stated that his goal was to "advance" humanity, starting with Japan.
