Plot

Four hundred years ago, the ninja and the Yokai had a great war. The legendary Sarutobi Sasuke and four other ninjas sealed the Yokai Commander Nurarihyon and all his Yokai's energies away in a cave protected by the "Seal Door". In the present, one of the few remaining Yokai, Kappa, tricks Sarutobi Sasuke and Kirigakure Saizo's descendants, Saizou and Sasuke, into releasing the Yokai by opening the "Seal Door". Now these two, joined by three other descendants of great ninjas, become the KakuRangers to fight the reinvigorated Yokai with the aid of the Sanshinshou. However, the KakuRangers have their work cut out for them as the Youlkai are slowly being united under one banner.

During the events of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Tsuruhime was originally supposed to grant the Greater Power of the KakuRangers to the Gokaigers, which was Ninjaman. However the Gokaigers managed to discover and release Ninjaman before being approached by Tsuruhime.

He is a big fan of Japanese ninja movies. During his first appearance, he was helping the Yokai.

After the bloody battle between them, Jiraiya learned why Gali did it, as well as hoping Jiraiya would kill him. Both the deaths of Zashiki-warashi and the two men he had known since childhood gave Jiraiya a reason to fight the Yokai.

These mighty creatures are called from the Hidden Scrolls with the command "Hidden Style: Super Ninja Beast Technique!" (隠流超忍獣の術, Kakure Ryū - Chōninjū no Jutsu).

Three God Generals

The Three God Generals (三神将, Sanshinshō), despite the KakuRangers' earlier notions, are sentient mecha who were originally three divine sages that developed a shinobi spell that defeated Daimaou and the Yokai two millennia ago. Having transcended their humanity, the Three God Generals aided the KakuRangers' ancestors in their fight with the Youkai. Though the KakuRangers' ninpo allowed them to revive Muteki Shogun by combining their Beast Generals forms, they obtain the Shinobi Scrolls needed to freely summon him, Tsubasamaru, and Kakure Daishogun. The Three God Generals represents the Shin-Gi-Tai (心技体, Heart-Technique-Body) essence of Hidden Style ninpo, and love, hope, and courage which are the opposite of Daimaou who represents hatred.

Muteki Shogun

Ninja Combination Muteki Shogun (忍者合体無敵将軍 Ninja Gattai Muteki Shōgun, "Invincible General") is the first of the Three God Generals to be awakened, representing the "body" of Hidden Style ninpo and hibernating as the Wind Illusion Castle (風雲幻城, Fūun Maboroshijō) before the KakuRangers' ancestors give the KakuRangers their Doron Changers and give them the means to revive Muteki Shogun by combining their Giant Beast General forms. The castle also contains a stone altar of the Three God Generals that the three beings can speak through. Muteki Shogun is armed with the mighty Flaming Shogun Sword (火炎将軍剣, Kaen Shōgun Ken), which can defeat nearly any Youkai with its flaming blade and has a hilt which resembles a shachihoko. The sword can be shrunk to human size for the KakuRangers to use in desperate situations. The "Shinobi" kanji medal on his chest can deflect certain youkai attacks. Some of Muteki Shogun's attacks are the Shogun Flower Spray (将軍花吹雪, Shōgun Hanafubuki) and the Flaming Shogun Wave (炎将軍波, Kaen Shogunha). Whenever Muteki Shogun defeats a Yokai, he gives a salute and a nod while saying "Rest in peace" (南無三, Namusan, literally "Hail to Thee, Three Treasures).

• By combining Tsubasamaru with Muteki Shogun, they become Super Ninja Combination Super Muteki Shogun (超忍者合体ス－パ－無敵将軍 Chō Ninja Gattai Sūpā Muteki Shōgun, "Super Invincible General"). Super Muteki Shogun can unleash the Muteki Cannon Full Discharge (無敵キャノン一斉射撃, Muteki Kyanon Issei Shageki) attack to finish off Youkai.

Tsubasamaru

Sacred Ninja Beast Tsubasamaru (聖忍獣ツバサマル, Seininjū Tsubasamaru) is giant mythical white falcon with a 85.6 metres (281 ft) wingspan that represents the "heart" of Hidden Style ninpo and can combine with either Muteki Shogun or Kakure Daishogun to increase their power. Tsubasamaru first appeared to help the KakuRangers against Umibozu on his own whim before they obtain the Shinobi Scrolls needed to freely summon him. In episode 31, he spoke to Sasuke and gave him the thunder sword, Hikarimaru.

Kakure Daishogun

Five-God Combination Kakure Daishogun (五神合体隠大将軍, Goshin Gattai Kakure Daishōgun, Hidden Grand General) is the last of the Three God Generals to be revealed, representing the "technique" of Hidden Style ninpo and composed of the five Super Ninja Beasts. His fists are weapons, performing the God Hammer Punch (ゴッドハンマーパンチ, Goddo Hanmā Panchi) with the right arm and using the left arm for the God Burst Chop (ゴッドバーストチョップ, Goddo Bāsuto Choppu). The Iron Fist God Finish (鉄拳ゴッドフィニッシュ, Tekken Goddo Finisshu) is performed when the two attacks are used together.

• By combining Tsubasamaru with Kakure Daishogun, they become Winged Combination Super Kakure Daishogun (翼合体スーパー隠大将軍 Tsubasa Gattai Sūpā Kakure Daishōgun, "Super Hidden Grand General") who uses the Flying Kick (フライングキック, Furaingu Kikku). While his usual finisher is the Iron Fist Flying Finish (鉄拳フライングフィニッシュ, Tekken Furaingu Finisshu), Super Kakure Daishogun used a variation called the Iron First Flying Finish Saruder Special against the Yokai Amanojaku.

Allies

Ninjaman

Ninjaman (ニンジャマン, Ninjaman, 36-50, 52 & 53), despite being a bit of a high-strong klutz, is the pupil of the Sanshinshou who battles the Youkai a millennium ago. However, tricked by Daimaoh into hurting humans on the notion that they were Youkai in disguise, Ninjaman gets sent into space within a Jar of Seals that only those of the Tsuruhime line can shatter. Once returning to Earth, Ninjaman is found by Junichi and his sister Mitsuko before the three find themselves attacked by the Youkai Bakuki under orders from Daimaoh to capture Ninjaman to become the Youkai leader's retainer. Luckily, once freed by Tsuruhime, Ninjaman becomes an ally to the Kakurangers. After Daimaoh's defeat, Ninjaman departs with his masters and says goodbye to the Kakurangers. However, this time resulting from not holding back, Ninjaman is sealed again for a few decades before being freed by the Gokaigers and helping them receive the Greater power of his Kakuranger friends.

As a ninja master, Ninjaman wields a katana, the Ninja Sword (ニンジャソード, Ninja Sōdo), and had a wide array of Ninja Arts at his command, including the "Art of Fire Escape", and size manipulation to aid his mentors and the Kakurangers in their fights. He can ride on a cloud called the Kintou Cloud. Whenever a Youkai calls him a "novice" (青二才, Ao Nisai), Ninjaman gets angry enough to change into his true form, Samuraiman (サムライマン, Samuraiman), by the command "Anger Explosion!!" (悪女爆烈, Ikari Bakuretsu). In this form, connecting his katana with its sheath to form the powerful Samurai Javelin (サムライジャベリン, Samurai Jaberin), Samuraiman creates explosive energy spheres formed from his rage in his ultimate attack, Samurai Rage Bomber (サムライ激怒ボンバー, Samurai Gekido Bonbā), or the Samurai Rage Slash (Samurai Gekido Giri) with the Samurai Javelin.

During the events of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, Ninjaman was freed from a pot by the Gokaigers. Once freed, he decided to observe the Gokaigers to see if the team was worthy of the Greater Power of the Gokaigers. Eventually they impressed him enough to grant them the Greater Power, which turned out to be himself.

Before entering battle, he says "Ally of Justice, Ninjaman!".

Ninjaman is voiced by Kazuki Yao (矢尾 一樹, Yao Kazuki).

The Announcer

The Announcer (講釈師 Kōshakushi 1-24 & 39) is a kimono-wearing anchorman who served as the series narrator. During episode 39, Kōshakushi and his news crew wanted to know more about the Kakurangers, getting into their personal lives. But they followed a pair of Dorodoros to Junior's mansion, learning of Nopperabo's revival ability until Daimou sensed them and sicced the Dorodoros on them. While the others escaped, Kōshakushi was caught and thrown off a bridge, though he managed to survive.

Being a former student of Hakamenrou, Sandayu aided the Kakurangers when Gasha Dokuro set up the beginning phase of Daimaou's resurrection, warning the Kakurangers they are not ready to face him. But the Kakurangers refused to accept that and are quickly defeated before Sandayuu had Tsubasamaru bring them the Wind Illusion Castle to see the Sanshinshou, revealing their origins and that obtaining the Shinobi Scrolls are needed to stop Daimaoh. While Tsuruhime was looking for her Shinobi Scroll, she is found by Sandayuu and taken to her family's mansion. There, Sandayuu uses her quest as a test to prove her worth as the Kakurangers' leader and heir to her family legacy, providing her with karakuri replicas of her teammates. He briefly meets with Hakamenrou, whom he was working with, to rescue Tsuruhime when Hakamenrou fought her. However, Junior learned of this and impaled Sandayuu with his own katana. Sandayuu lived long enough from the wound to tell the team to form Kakure Daishogun during their final fight with Gashadokuro and give them his final words.

Sandayu Momochi is portrayed by Akira Sakamoto (坂本 あきら, Sakamoto Akira).

Zashiki-warashi

Zashiki-warashi (ザシキワリシ Zashikiwarashi, 18): A Youkai mushroom child who uses mushrooms to perform spells and wants to make children happy, pursued by Junior who planned to turn him evil. Though Ninja Black attempts to protect him from Gashadokuro, Zashiki-warashi turns him in and undergoes a ritual to turn him into an evil version of his true form. Attacking the city in his enlarged form, Zashiki-warashi overpowers the Beast General Fighters until hearing the cries of the children he befriended manages to restore him to normal.

Taro and Jiro (太郎と次郎 Tarō to Jirō, 26, 30, 31, 42-44 & 52) are the twin sons of vassals to Tsuruhime's family, becoming her adopted brothers when their parents, who were once vassals of the Tsuruhime house, had died. When Tsuruhime's father Yoshiteru learned of Daimaou, the brothers accompanied him into the Youkai World to kill the demon before he could be fully revived. However, Taro and Jiro were captured and turned into German Shepherds after Yoshiteru agreed to serve Daimaou in return for their lives spared. However, though the brothers can temporarily regain human form, they can only do it once with a second time killing them. As a result, after escaping back to their world with Bun, Taro and Jiro looked after Tsuruhime in their master's place before revealing their true nature to Sasuke in order to give him Hakamenro's findings on Daradara while asking him to tell Tsuruhime that they will protect her from the shadows.

Though he committed the deed, Gali realized the consequences of orphaning Jiraiya. As penance, black mailed into continuing Nue's dirty work, Gali becomes Jiraiya's guardian and taught him martial arts with the hope that his student might kill him.

However, due to Hakamenrou giving Ninja Red the means to ruin his scheme with Junior's manor destroyed in the process and managing to escape after being wounded by a combination of Super Muteki Shogun's Muteki Cannon Full Discharge and Super Kakure Daishogun's Iron Fist Flying Finish, Daimaou turns the human into stone before establishing himself in a new base of operations: The flying skull fortress Skull Castle (ガイコツ城, Gaikotsujō) with plans to build the Youkai Kingdom on Earth and destroy the Kakurangers.

While Gashadokuro appears to be completely heartless to even his lackeys and more relentless in combat, he does have some respect for the Kakuranger, as seen when he allowed his Dorodoros to give water to the Kappa-ized Seikai and Saizou to fight Nue.

Movie

The movie version of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, directed by Shōhei Tōjō and written by Noboru Sugimura, premiered in Japan on April 16, 1994, at Toei Super Hero Fair '94. It was originally shown as a triple feature alongside Kamen Rider J and the feature film version of Blue SWAT. The villains in the movie consisted of the One-Eyed Brothers and Ōnyūdō. The movie was filmed between Episodes 7 and 8, but is actually set between episodes 8 and 9.

The Kakuranger team was the main focus in the 1994 3D featurette Super Sentai World, which features them teaming up with the four previous Super Sentai teams (Fiveman, Jetman, Zyuranger, and Dairanger).

A second crossover film was released in the form of Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: Olé vs. Kakuranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー オーレVSカクレンジャー, Chōriki Sentai Ōrenjā: Ōre tai Kakurenjā), a 1996 direct-to-video movie which features the Kakurangers working together with the Ohrangers to defeat a common adversary.

International broadcasts and home video

• In its home country of Japan, Toei Video released the series in full on VHS (both Sale/Rental) from April 1995 until March 1996 and spread across 12 volumes. The first seven volumes contain four episodes each, while the rest contains five. From January 21, 2009 until May 21, 2009, the full series was then released on DVD for the first time spreading through five volumes with two discs each. The first three volumes contain 11 episodes, while the final two contain ten.
• In the Philippines, it was aired on ABC 5 (now TV5) from 2000 to 2001 with a Tagalog dub.
• International releases were limited to a few Asian regions, as most regions around the world would receive foreign language dubs of the U.S.' adaptation based on this series, which was Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, where props and monsters would be used for Season 3. Although, Japan did release the first 100 episodes of the Power Rangers adaptation dubbed, but despite high ratings the rest was not dubbed. South Korea only aired a dub of the first season due to the belief that the attention span of Korean kids was too short to keep up with a multiseason show. Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and The Philippines also aired the Power Rangers adaptation dubbed in their languages as well.
  • The series was aired in Thailand with a Thai dub on Channel 3 in 2000 despite the continuing popularity of the Power Rangers, but not all episodes were shown. It was also released on home video with a second separate Thai dub by Right Pictures, on VHS and VCD.
    • This was the very first Super Sentai series to air with both Mandarin (Taiwan dialect) and Cantonese dubs. But one aired first with one airing a year later. Prior, rival channel Taiwan Television was airing a Taiwanese Mandarin dubs of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
      • In Hong Kong, the series aired with a Cantonese Chinese dub on October 3, 1996 on the now-defunct ATV Home and aired Monday through Friday until December 13, 1996, with all episodes covered.
      • In Taiwan, the series aired with a Taiwanese Mandarin dub around 1997 with all episodes dubbed, airing on the STAR Chinese Channel.
  • In Indonesia, the series aired with an Indonesian dub on RCTI in 2002 under Ninja Ranger, which is Toei's International English name that they distributed.
