The story of ''Tokyo Tribe'' is heavily based around the hip-hop and street culture of modern day Tokyo. It focuses on members of the Saru street gang (Shivuya branch in the original manga, Musashino branch in ''Tokyo Tribes 2''). The Saru exist as a safe haven from the rampant crimes that occur between the Wu-Ronz of Bukuro and the Hands of Shivuya.

When three Saru members turn up dead, Kai, a lieutenant within the gang, hunts for their assailants. He finds Mera, leader of Wu-Ronz and former friend, and accuses him of the murders. Their fight ends in the death of Tera, the Saru leader, and begins the Second Gang War. Meanwhile, a prostitute named Sunmi may either hold the key to bringing the two together or destroying all three gangs from the inside out.
