Kasumi Asano is the main protagonist of Medarot Navi. Although he begins the game with a different Medarot than KBT or KWG series, he quickly loses his first medarot and get Granbeetle or Sonic Stag as his main and first permanent medarot.
Kasumi's adventure begins with him building his first Medarot --- Windclap, after activating his Medarotch, he is invited by his childhood friend Hiyori to see Shiden Murasame, but Kasumi refuses as it isn't a Medarot. When he leaves, he is caught by the coward Mizore and the idiot Goutetsu. The duo taunt Kasumi and goad him into fighting them, not realizing that they gave Kasumi and Far East the strategy to beat them. They knock Far East down and Mizore steals his Medal, and because of that Kasumi is without a partner for a while. Hearing a mysterious voice, Kasumi goes to the Abanoned School, and falls through a hole in the floor. Turning on Hiyori's flashlight, he sees a a strange Medal with a beetle larva / stag beetle larva. While exploring the cave he finds Mistral an alien Medarot that unbeknownst to Kasumi, was sent to study humans. After getting caught by Shiden and showing Mistral to the young man, Kasumi becomes famous overnight.
When he hears about Cluster a theme park dedicated to Medarot, he is excited to go there, but he ends up being bullied by the arrogant Niwaka, who humiliates him every day until he decides to lock Kasumi in a supply warehouse. Hiyori busts him out, and scolds him for being late.
When Kasumi gets to Cluster, he is invited by Shiden to see and test a new Medarot-- namely the KBT-0NF model Granbeetle or the KWG-0NF model Sonic Stag. However Shiden betrays him, and torments Kasumi to tell him what Mistral said to him by sending multiple security Medarot. Shiden leaves Kasumi to get beat up, and sets Cluster to go away from Earth. Kasumi and Granbeetle / Sonic Stag break out of the vault by using the Medaforce (Ultra Shot or Spiral Bolt depending on the Version), awing Kasumi with his friend's power. Niwaka is demoted for the prank he pulled and Kasumi is promoted to class president.
Kasumi, Granbeetle/Sonic Stag and Hiyori search for the rest of the students, with Hiyori getting jumped by a security Medarot. Hiyori flees by accident, leaving Kasumi and Granbeetle/Sonic Stag alone.
Kasumi wanders Cluster alone until he meets Fubuki and Ptolemy, and suspicious of Kasumi, Fubuki fights him, resulting with Granbeetle/Sonic Stag defeating Ptolemy. Fubuki decides to help Kasumi,and the duo run into Mizore and Goutetsu. Both fools attack Kasumi, but Granbeetle/Sonic Stag trashes their Medarots after a hard-fought battle. After the fight, both fools give Far East back, and gawk at Fubuki and pressure her to be their leader.
