The story begins with a prologue, describing the destruction of Tokyo in 1982 (1992 in Western editions) by a new type of nuclear bomb. Presumbly due to international confusion after the catastrophe, World War III begins soon after, which is implied later on to have ended in 2000. By the year 2030, a new glittering metropolis called Neo-Tokyo is built on an artificial island on Tokyo Bay.

While juvenile delinquent Shotaro Kaneda and his biker gang trespass into the "old city" of ruined Tokyo, Kaneda's best friend, Tetsuo Shima is injured after his bike explodes after trying to avoid hitting a wizened child with the number 26 tattooed to his palm. Kaneda confronts the child, who disappears before Kaneda's eyes. Soldiers from the military arrive, who take Tetsuo to an unspecified hospital.
