The primary protagonist, [[Akito Tenkawa]], is a boy with a mysterious past; once a resident of [[Mars]]' Utopia colony, he escaped its destruction by the Jovian Lizards and arrived on Earth, with no memory of how he got there but a terrible fear of the invaders. He hates fighting and only wants to be a [[chef]]. However, he is constantly called on to act as a pilot of one of the ''Nadesico'''s ''Aestivalis'' - humanoid combat [[robot]]s. While on board the ''Nadesico'', Akito has more problems to deal with than just the Jovians; nearly all the female members of the crew, especially the vessel's captain [[Yurika Misumaru]], seem to be head over heels in love with him, though all he wants to do is cook and watch his favorite anime, ''[[Gekiganger III]]''.<ref name="Episode 1"/>
