CAPTAIN KUPPA Desert Pirate
Introduction

Some time in the future. The world has completely dried up and the land has turned to desert as far as one can see. There are hardly any rivers and lakes left, all of which are occupied by villains, or inhabited by dangerous animals. Water has become the most valuable commodity in the world. Whoever can control the water will rule the entire world.

Outside of small towns, the vast desert expands. It is filled with monsters and demons. It is a dangerous time to be alive. In the sea of desert that now covers the world, treasures, machines of advanced technology, and robots are buried. Some folks find robots in the ruins and restore them to use as tools.

Our hero Kuppa and his bossy sister Yukke, are treasure hunters in the desert. Treasure hunting is great fun. But, it is very dangerous, too. A villain called Bibimba wants to capture them, saying his unique hobby is "hunting the treasure hunters"!

Characters

Kuppa never wins with his faultfinding sister who always worries about him.
