- Gear: A young boy who works at a junk shop and runs a “theft business” to reclaim unjustly stolen items. Voiced by Marina Inoue.
- Shirokuma: A gambling-addicted polar bear who partners with Gear in their “theft business.” Voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji.
- Qu-0213: A robot with four distinct personalities, each voiced by a different actor:
- Nosa-ane (Rie Kugimiya): Cares for Gear like a younger brother.
- Kau-ane (Kana Hanazawa): A delinquent twin sister.
- Naka-ani (Tomokazu Seki): A laid-back uncle.
- Ei-baba (Ai Orikasa): A kindhearted grandmother and the team’s cook.
One day, Gear’s team takes on a request from a mysterious girl named Noa (voiced by Asami Seto), who is being pursued by assassins, to steal back an item. This sets them on a thrilling chase, uncovering a secret that could shake the entire world.
