Gorou Joe is a boy who lives a carefree life in the small historical town of Gujo Hachiman in Gifu prefecture. One day an old self-professed "water fairy" appears in front of Joe, and tells him to help people, and grants Joe the power to turn into "GJ8 Man" (a pun on Gujo Hachiman, as the number 8 is pronounced "hachi" in Japanese, and the "hachi" in "Hachiman" uses the kanji for the number 8).

Where it came from
GJ8man, released in 2016, is a short-form original net animation produced by the Japanese production company DLE. It was conceived as a promotional project for the Japan Racing Association, utilizing the studio's signature Flash-animation style, which relies on minimalist character designs and deadpan humor to engage a younger, digital-native demographic.
The character design features a humanoid figure with a horse-like head, visually parodying the quintessential protagonist tropes found in classic manga. By blending the surreal aesthetic of 'yuru-chara' mascot culture with the pacing of high-energy internet memes, the series sought to demystify horse racing and make the JRA brand appear more accessible and approachable to casual viewers on social media platforms.
