With the advancement of technology, humanity gradually established colonies throughout the entire solar system, occupying planetary facilities from Mercury to Pluto. This led to the creation of a massive athletic competition called the "Daiundoukai," where numerous aspiring female athletes from across the solar system compete. The champion of this tournament is awarded the title of "Cosmo Beauty," gaining a status akin to royalty. As a child, the energetic potato farmer Kanata Akehoshi witnessed a meteor-like object descending from the sky and crashing into a nearby forest. Investigating the wreckage, she discovered a damaged spaceship and a girl inside, weakened from the impact. The girl handed Kanata two wristbands and asked her to participate in the Daiundoukai and become the Cosmo Beauty. Kanata agreed, but before she could learn the girl's name, she vanished mysteriously—leaving behind nothing, not even the crater from the crash. From that day on, Kanata dedicated herself to training, determined to fulfill her promise. After winning the qualifying round to represent planet Earth, Kanata arrives at the University Satellite—an institution where she and other candidates study to prepare for the upcoming competition. There, she meets and befriends her fellow competitors, helping them build camaraderie to improve their performance in the games. As Kanata edges closer to the coveted title, her chances of encountering the girl who altered her destiny also increase—and along the way, she uncovers a hidden mystery behind the Daiundoukai.

Fuu Kasumi, a clumsy young waitress, spends her days working peacefully at a small teahouse. That all changes when she accidentally spills a drink on a customer. A group of samurai begins harassing her, and she desperately calls on another samurai in the shop, Mugen, who swiftly defeats them with his wild fighting style, which incorporates movements reminiscent of breakdancing. Unfortunately, Mugen then picks a fight with the unwilling ronin Jin, who wields a more precise and traditional sword-fighting technique, and Jin proves to be a formidable opponent. The problem is, they destroy the entire shop and accidentally kill the local magistrate's son in the process. For their crime, the two samurai are captured and set to be executed. However, Fuu rescues them and hires the duo as her bodyguards. Though she has no place to return to, the former waitress wishes to find a certain samurai who smells of sunflowers and enlists the help of the now-exonerated pair. Despite initially disapproving, the two eventually agree to assist the girl on her quest. Thus, the three embark on an adventure to find this mysterious warrior—that is, if Fuu can keep Mugen and Jin from killing each other. Set in an alternate Edo Period of Japan, Samurai Champloo follows the journey of these three eccentric individuals in an epic quest full of action, comedy, and dynamic sword fighting, all set to the beat of a unique hip-hop-infused soundtrack.
