The Predacons Budora and Gaidora attacked Isami's grandfather's Kendo dojo just as he and his grandfather were praying before their dojo's sacred mirror. When it became clear that the Predacons were targeting the sacred mirror, he grabbed the disk and made a run for it. Unfortunately, he realized that the more he ran from them, the more of his neighborhood the Predacons would destroy in their pursuit. So, stopping in a park, he confronted the Predacons, telling them to leave his town alone. When the Predacons decided to threaten some children playing nearby instead, his courage and sense of justice activated the Legend Disk he was carrying and summoned the Swordbot Samurai Team. The Legend Disk later somehow responded to him to allow the three Swordbot Samurai Team warriors to combine, and feeling that they owed him a debt of gratitude, the three warriors asked Isami to join them in hunting down the reactivated Predacons! Sanjō Gattai! Swordbot - Samurai!
