Biography[]
Star Banbara kidnapped Taro, the little brother of a girl named Yuko, in order to force her to use her crystal ball to torment Goro Watari. However, Goro soon took notice of the girl and began following her, eventually discovering she was being blackmailed by Star Banbara. Goro thus volunteered to rescue Yuko's brother from the Neo-Humans, and had her use her crystal ball to find him.

Star Banbara's flying saucer.
When Goro arrived at the Neo-Human base where Taro was being kept however, he was ambushed by Star Banbara, who had anticipated his arrival. Star Banbara buried Inazuman beneath some rocks, but Inazuman was able to call upon Raijingo to free him and escape. Star Banbara then hatched another scheme to kill Goro by releasing Taro back to his sister with a bomb planted in the collar around his neck that was set to go off when he was next to Goro. However, Goro anticipated that something was amiss and discovered the bomb in Taro's collar before throwing it away so it detonated safely away from them. Star Banbara then appeared with several Phantom Soldiers to fight Goro himself. After Goro became Inazuman and defeated the Phantom Soldiers, Star Banbara hopped inside his flying saucer to attack Inazuman with it, prompting Inazuman to call upon his Raijingo and engage Star Banbara in a dogfight. Inazuman used Raijingo to slice along the side of the UFO, causing it to explode.
