Plot
Three misfit pupils of the Hayate-Style Ninja School, who are given a rigorous training regiment by their sensei Mugensai Hinata, are the only survivors when most of their peers are slaughtered during the graduation ceremony by a group of evil space ninjas known as the Jakanja that serve a mysterious power hidden on Earth. Mugensai, who has turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers, and his daughter Oboro Hinata recruit the trio to become the legendary Hurricanegers to fight Jakanja. The Hurricanegers are joined by the Gouraigers of the Ikazuchi-Style Ninja School, who were initially their enemies, and later the mysterious Shurikenger who unites the two ninja groups to stop Jakanja from acquiring the mysterious power.

Hurricanegers
The eponymous Hurricanegers are three ninja students in the 507th class who are the survivors of the Hayate-Style (疾風流) ninja school, Ninpukan (忍風館), are mastering their school's Super Ninja Art (超忍法) ninjutsu. They represent the Hayate Heart embodying the "Presistence of the Future". Their arsenal revolving around the Shinobi Medal (シノビメダル) discs, the Hurricanegers transform by using the Hurricane Gyro (ハリケンジャイロ) brace and use the Hurricane Winger (ハリケンウインガー) hang gliders for transportation. They are armed with the Hayatemaru (ハヤテ丸) ninjatō, which has an alternate rifle mode that can be accessed by combining with its sheath. Their signature attack is the Super Ninja Art: Shadow Dance (超忍法・影の舞). The Hurricanegers combine their personal weapons to form the Triple Gadget (トリプルガジェット), which has three configurations that can perform a different finisher depending on which weapon is used as the front piece: the Dry Gadget (ドライガジェット) shoots a ball of flaming energy, the Sonic Gadget (ソニックガジェット) fires a bubble of sound waves, and the Quake Gadget (クエイクガジェット) materializes a 100-ton weight.

When facing enlarged Jakanja members, the Hurricanegers summon their Shinobi Machines (シノビマシン) and form a Karakuri Giant (カラクリ巨人) known as Senpuujin (旋風神) via Shinobi Wind Combination (忍風合体) where it has the ability to assume the more agile form of Senpuujin Hurrier (旋風神ハリアー) for a duration of one minute. Senpuujin can combine with Gouraijin and a Karakuri Ball (カラクリボール) combination known as Karakuri Warrior Fuuraimaru (カラクリ武者風雷丸) into Gourai Senpuujin (轟雷旋風神) via School Transcendence Wind-Thunder Combination (流派超越風雷合体). Alternatively, it can combine with Gouraijin, Tenkuujin, and the Tri-Condor (トライコンドル) combination to form Tenrai Senpuujin (天雷旋風神) via Galactic Transcendence Three-God Combination (銀河超越三神合体). The Hurricanegers and Gouraigers also acquire the use of Shurikenger's Ninjamisen (ニンジャミセン) instrument, allowing them to either command Revolver Mammoth (リボルバーマンモス), which can be ridden by Tenrai Senpuujin in the Revolver Tenrai Senpuujin (リボルバー天雷旋風神) formation, or combine the Ninjamisen with the Victory Gadget to form the Final Gadget (ファイナルガジェット).


 * Yosuke Shiina (椎名 鷹介)
 * The leader of the team, his courageous determination making up for his slow-thinking. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, while aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Yosuke became a handyman who travels around the world. During his travels, six months prior to the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Yosuke befriends Tenkai and is forced by Bat Ze Runba to attack Space Union Ninja School branches while stealing his teammates' Shinobi Medals. But with his friends' help, Yosuke frees Tenkai and becomes a mentor to the boy.

 * Nanami Nono (野乃 七海)
 * A kunoichi who dreams of becoming a popstar, working under the stage name Nana. After the final battle, aiding the Abarangers, the Boukengers by having her "Friendship Spirit" empower DaiVoyager, and the Gokaigers, Nanami became a successful singer of international fame and hopes to be an actress. As the "Water Ninja" (水忍), Hurricane Blue (ハリケンブルー), she uses the Sonic Megaphone (ソニックメガホン) and her personal Shinobi Machine is Hurricane Dolphin (ハリケンドルフィン).


 * Kota Bito (尾藤 吼太)
 * A firm believer in planning whose friendly nature allows him to at a daycare center. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Kota married and had a daughter named Suzune (鈴音) as well as a son named Riku (陸). Though he attempted to conceal his activities as ninja from his family, Kota considers telling them the truth after the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After. As the "Earth Ninja" (陸忍), Hurricane Yellow (ハリケンイエロー), he uses the Quake Hammer (クエイクハンマー) and his personal Shinobi Machine is Hurricane Leon (ハリケンレオン).

Gouraigers
The Lightning Speed Gouraiger (電光石火ゴウライジャー) are two brothers who are the surviving students of the Ikazuchi Way (迅雷流) ninja academy, Ikazuchi Gijuku (迅雷義塾), originally the enemies of the Hurricaneger who join the Jakanja despite having wiped out the Ikazuchi Way's Ninja Academy which left the Kasumi brothers as the only survivors. The brothers obtained the forbidden Gouraiger system from their father, Ikki (一鬼), a rogue ninja who abused them. Ikki went against the Ikazuchi Way's wishes to obtain the Evil Will after learning of it during his mission in Egypt and learned of the "Final Secret" at the time of a meteor shower. He went against his school's wishes by creating the Gouraiger system and making his sons kill each other to evoke it while making them believe that rage and hatred would only promote strength. Though they eventually allied themselves with the Hurricanegers the Kasumi brothers were unable to completely forsake their father's cruel teachings and have a jaded view on life. The two work as construction workers before parting ways after the final battle with the Jakanja. They represent the Ikazuchi Heart embodying the Bonds of the Past.

Their arsenal revolving around the Shinobi Medals, the Gouraigers transform by using the Gourai Changer (ゴウライチェンジャー) brace and use the Bari Thunder (バリサンダー) motorcycles for transportation. They are armed with the Ikazuchimaru (イカヅチ丸) staff, which can switch between Spear Mode (手槍モード), the shuriken-like Cross Mode (十字の型), and the shield-like Circle Moon Mode (円月の型). The Gouraigers combine their personal weapons to form the Double Gadget (ダブルガジェット), which can then combine with the Hurricanegers' Triple Gadget's Quake Gadget configuration to form the Victory Gadget (ビクトリーガジェット). When facing enlarged Jakanja members, the Gouraigers summon their Shinobi Machines and form Gouraijin (轟雷神) via Thunderclap Combination (迅雷合体).


 * Ikkou Kasumi (霞 一甲)
 * The older brother of Isshu, originally intending to make Ikazuchi as the greatest ninja school using the Evil Will. But Ikkou abandoned it and decides to support the Hurricanegers, becoming Yosuke's rival while making a mortal enemy out of Manmaruba when the alien sought revenge the Kasumi brothers for making a fool out of him. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers prior to becoming estranged from his brother, Ikkou becomes a member of the JunRetsu singing group. During the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Ikkou helps Yosuke remember the good they did together before helping him save Tenkai. As the crimson-colored "Horned Ninja" (角忍), Kabuto Raiger (カブトライジャー), he uses the Horn Breaker (ホーンブレイカー) raygun and his personal Shinobi Machine is Gourai Beetle (ゴウライビートル).


 * Isshu Kasumi (霞 一鍬)
 * The younger brother of Ikkou who originally resented his school for staying in the shadows, idolizing his brother and respecting most of his decisions. But Isshu took the fact they were not rebuilding their ninja school personally until he found the resting place of his father's blade, the double-bladed Kiraimaru (鬼雷丸) naginata. Desiring to rebuild the Ikazuchi School, Isshu used the blade with disastrous results. After learning to use the Kiraimaru in a way where his friends would not be harmed, Isshu decides to rebuild the school after Jakanja is defeated. By the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, having left Ikkou's shadow, Isshu became a lady's man and eventually made peace with his brother. As the navy blue-colored "Fanged Ninja" (牙忍), Kuwaga Raiger (クワガライジャー), he uses the Stag Breaker (スタッグブレイカー) claw, which can combine with his Ikazuchimaru to form the Ikazuchi Breaker (イカヅチブレイカー) naginata, and his personal Shinobi Machine is Gourai Stag (ゴウライスタッグ).

Shurikenger
Shurikenger (シュリケンジャー) is the green-colored "Sky Ninja" (天空忍者) who is able to transform via the Shuriken Ball (シュリケンボール) device. He is armed with the Shuriken's Bat (シュリケンズバット) katana, which has an alternate baseball bat mode that can be accessed by combining with its sheath. He can also assume Fire Mode (ファイヤーモード), rotating the top of his helmet while removing the weight inhibitor serving as chest armor to increase his physical abilities. When facing enlarged Jakanja members, Shurikenger summons Tenkuujin (天空神) and changes it from a bird-themed helicopter mode to robot mode via Soaring Transformation (飛翔変形).


 * Shurikenger
 * The original Shurikenger, known as the Man with a Thousand Faces (千の顔を持つ男) and representative of the Space Unified Ninja School (宇宙統一忍者流), was an ex-student of the Hayate-Style's Ninja Academy who became Kagura's personal fighter while renouncing name and face as he is permanently transformed in his costumed form. A somewhat comical figure, Shurikenger often used broken English phrases including the famous "I am Ninja of Ninja!" and also often poorly mixes both Japanese and English into his sentences. He usually disguises himself as a 'regular' person until he reverts to his true form with the Shuriken Ball device when confronted by Jakanja. Though Shurikenger seemed to have died after being mortally wounded by Sandaru and using Tenkuujin to take out Satorakura, he mysteriously reappears to aid his allies and the Abarangers and is last seen overseeing the Ninningers' progress under request of Toha Yamaji.


 * Tenkai (天界)
 * A mysterious 10-year-old boy who appears during the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, taken under Yosuke's wing as traveling companion six months prior as Tenkai lacked any memory of his life before. But kidnapped by Bat Ze Runba, Tenkai is revealed to be the embodiment of the Great Force that manifested after the Hurricaneger/Gouraiger teams defeated Tau Zanto. Though Runba succeeded in awakening the Great Force, Tenkai manages to suppress it and gains the ability to become the new Shurikenger with the resolve to use his powers for good as he becomes Yosuke's apprentice. Unlike his predecessor, though he possesses the same capabilities, Tenkai does not use broken English phrases in his sentences.

Allies

 * Mugensai Hinata (日向 無限斎)
 * The ninja master of the Ninpuukan ninja school and a master of the animal-change Ninja Art, having turned into a hamster to evade Jakanja's attack on his school yet panicked and mixed up the words in his spell and has been referenced as "Hamster Curator" (ハムスター館長). Despite his form, he can fight and communicated with Kagura before she revealed herself. While Mugensai temporary restored during the events of the movie by Laiina until she left Earth, he regains his humanity in the finale and graduates the Hurricanegers and the Gouraigers two months after their battle with Tau Zant.


 * Oboro Hinata (日向 おぼろ)
 * Mugensai's scholarly daughter and the director of the Hayate-Style Ninja Arts Laboratory (疾風流忍術研究館) who provides the Hurricanegers' arsenal, being their senpai due to her being a member of the 487th graduating class. She also invented the robot kuroko that mind-wipe out the ninjas' existence from civilians those who left Hayate-Style to ensure their school's secrecy.


 * Kagura (覚羅)
 * A 500-year-old seemingly young woman who is the daughter of a feudal lord who died protecting her before she went into hiding as Gozen (御前様) with Shurikenger as her protector while some of her descendants become members of the Space Unified Ninja School she established. Kagura's prolonged life is due to Dark Stone (闇石) embedded on her forehead, the item revealed to be the Grieving Bow (嘆きの弓) which the Earth ninjas' technology is derived from. But Kagura refrains from any form of sadness to maintain the seal placed on the Grieving Bow. After moving in with the Hurricanegers after her location is compromised, Kagura learned of how much the world changed during her solitude while seeing the ninja are true heroes despite her earlier impressions. But Sandaaru learned of the seal, killing her once it is undone. During the events of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, the Hurricanegers meet a leading figure of the Space Unified Ninja School who is a blood relative of Kagura's and was entrusted with Shurikenger's Shinobi Medal before it was stolen.


 * Yonosuke (鷹乃介)
 * Yosuke's ancestor who appears in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger de Gozaru! Shushutto 20th Anniversary, using the Oedo Medal (大江戸メダル) with a Gyro Changer to become the kabuki-themed Oedo Hurricane Red (大江戸ハリケンレッド).

Space Ninja Clan Jakanja
The Space Ninja Clan Jakanja (宇宙忍群ジャカンジャ) are a ruthless band of alien ninja based in their fortress Parasite Fortress Centipede (寄生要塞センチピード), the Jonin (上忍) group known as the Seven Dark Spears (暗黒七本槍) with three commanding the Chuunin (中忍) that consist Jankanja's Space Ninjas (宇宙忍者). Each one leads their own Ninja Corps. Their goal is to bring Earth to ruins to invoke "it" (アレ), the "Evil Force" (邪悪なる意志) that would form in the depths of the ocean before destroying the universe. But when Tau Zanto assumes his ultimate form the Centipede is destroyed in the transformation, Furabiijo and Wendinu are among the survivors that also include the Reverse Seven Spears.


 * Leader Tau Zant (首領タウ・ザント)
 * Jankanja's leader, an Ōmukade-like demon with various faces on his segments who desires the Evil Force's power to wipe out the universe and create a new one he intends to rule. He made numerous attempts to bring about the Evil Force's coming with Gouraigers kill each other and later Fangerus before ingesting the Raging Arrow (怒りの矢) and the Grieving Bow to transform himself into the mobile giant Tau Zant Ultimate Form (タウ・ザント究極体) and absorb the Evil Force. But Tau Zant is shrunk down to human size and is finally destroyed by the ninjas using the Victory Gadget.


 * First Spear Furabiijo (一の槍フラビージョ)
 * A kunoichi dropout in a bee headdress and a user of the bee ninja art who Tau Zant recruited, carrying a notepad she uses to grade Space Ninja members sent to attack Earth. She once acted on her own by creating the android Furabijenu, who briefly forced her out of Jakanja before manipulating Nanami into creating a remote control for her creation. Following the series finale, assumed to have been killed, Furabiijo and Wendinu ended up on Dino Earth where they attempted to ally themselves with the Evoliens during the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Furabiijo later resurfaces briefly in GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai as a key ingredient in Chronos's plans, making a return appearance in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After as a supporter of Bat Ze Runba before taking her leave.


 * Second Spear Chuuzubo (二の槍チュウズーボ)
 * The Ōnyūdō/frog-like leader of the Alien Ninja Corps (宇宙人忍者群団), Chuunin that are enlarged by a magical scroll fired from Wendinu's bazooka, armed with an extendable rod as a weapon. Chuuzubo bore a grudge against the Gouraigers when they allowed his friend Octonyuudo to get killed, his actions against them resulting in them joining the Hurricanegers. Chuuzubo later uses the forbidden Dark Soul Summoning Ninja Art to enlarge himself with an increase in his power by sacrificing his life, overpowering the two ninja teams before being destroyed by Gourai Senpuujin.


 * Third Spear Manmaruba (三の槍マンマルバ)
 * Tau Zant's most valuable servant due to his ability to see the fixed future, Manmaruba developed a grudge against Ikkou after seeing his future death. Following Chuuzubo's death, Manmaruba undergoes a pupa state to become the scorpion-like Manmaruba Adult Form (マンマルバ成体) to exact his revenge by infecting Ikkou with both a deadly Space Scorpion and its egg while foreseeing his own death by Ikkou's hand. While Hurricane Red averted Ikkou's death, Manmaruba creates a stronger clone of himself to continue in his place. The new Manmaruba's psychic power allows him to see a meteor shower allowing him to fully reveal the means to acquire the Evil Force, but the exposure mutates him into the mindless scorpion monster Manmaruba Reckless Form (マンマルバ暴走体) that is destroyed by Tenrai Senpuujin.


 * Fourth Spear Wendinu (四の槍ウェンディーヌ)
 * A snake ninja art mistress of disguise who appears on Earth with Furabiijo as the one who enlarges the Space Ninjas, occasionally called by her partner as "Wendy". Wendinu was made a Dark Spear due to her unique ability to grow into a giant super-strong berserker after amassing enough stress and rage in her. In that crazed state of mind, Wendinu destroys an entire planet single-handedly. After Manmaruba's death, Wendinu follows her own plan in setting up her own Wendinu Cram School scheme using brainwashed children to kill the ninja for her. In the process, she falls head over heels in love with a young man named Hashimoto. Once her plan failed Wendinu's rage reaches its zenith and she grows, overpowering the Karakuri Giants until the presence of Hashimoto causes her to shrink back to normal size. Following the series finale, assumed to have been killed, Wendinu and Furabiijo ended up on Dino Earth where they attempted to ally themselves with the Evolians during the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Wendinu later resurfaces in Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After as a supporter of Bat Ze Runba before taking her leave.


 * Fifth Spear Sargain (五の槍サーガイン)
 * A master swordsman and leader of the Puppet Ninja Corps (クグツ忍者群団), robots built by Sargain who are scanned by a Copy Giant (コピージャイアント) Wendinu summons upon their destruction. Despite appearances, Sargain is actually a cyborg ant piloting a puppet body equipped with the Dark Twin Swords Ganryuken from his shoulders. He also builds his own personal robots to fight the ninjas. Receiving the Raging Arrow from Sandaaru to unlock its power Sargain learns that it functions like the Shinobi Medals. Though he unlocked the Raging Arrow he lost it when Gaingain was destroyed. Though he survives the destruction of Gaingain, he is cut down with his own blade by Sadaaru as he had no more need of him.


 * Sixth Spear Satarakura (六の槍サタラクラ)
 * A peacock/evil clown-like trickster with an Owarai-type personality who replaces Chuuzubo, commanding the Mask Ninja Corps (仮面忍者群団) who Wendinu revives into giants with a boomerang. When the Evil Force's coming approaches, Satarakura makes his moves during the final meteor shower by using the Jaykumu Gun created from Sargain's data to suck the energy out of people and extracting the rage and sadness for Tau Zant. Satarakura was stopped by the Earth ninjas but Tau Zant saves him to preserve the Jaykumu Gun as it fused to his arm and drained him of his own energy. Taking advantage Satarakura uses the energy of the Jakyumu Gun to overpower the ninjas and take their energy. Sandaaru arrives once the Jakyumu Gun's energy pack is full and takes it before attempting to kill Satarakura. Though Satarakura survives, his mask is broken and his mind shattered turning him into a hateful psychopath intent on killing both sides. It takes Tenkuujin's self-destruct to finally kill him.


 * Seventh Spear Sandaaru (七の槍サンダール)
 * A powerful shark-like ninja who destroyed many worlds before coming to Earth, master of the alien beasts that constitute the Fan Ninja Beast Corps (扇忍獣群団) and are stored in Sandaaru's fan until summoned. After he obtained the Raging Arrow from Astrom, he became the most powerful of all the Seven Dark Spears with aspirations of taking over Jakanja. With the exception of Sargain and Tau Zant, who played along, Sandaaru wins the other Jakanja members over while convincing them to all attack together rather than individually. After using the Earth Ninjas to power the Raging Arrow, Sandaaru uses Sargain to devise a method for its use before secretly killing him once making a copy of Sargain's Karakuri Ball system. It was only after acquiring the Grieving Bow from Kagura that Sandaaru learns Tau Zant was using him the entire time and reveals his true colors after the destruction of the Centipede. Surviving the Victory Gadget, Sandaaru enlarges himself and overpowers Revolver Gourai Senpuujin. At the last second, the Gouraigers are forced to sacrifice Gouraijin to kill Sandaaru.

Setting up a partnership with the Orgs, Chubouzu managed to capture the Gaorangers and Tetomu obtaining the G-Phones which he gave to Jakanja on the condition that if the plan was a success he would take his brother's place in the Seven Dark Spears. Though the eight villains had them on the run Gao Silver's interference gave the gang a chance to return the G-Phones to their true owners. Chubouzu was hit by the Victory Gadget/Haja Hyakujuuken combo attack he uses the dark soul summoning ninja art to evade death and his regeneration ninja art to revive Girigirigaishi, Kangaroulette and Jingiron to aid him.

Though the Earth Ninja manage to obliterate the Fangule, they reform at Satokura's call while merging into the three-faced Giant Beast Fangerus (巨獣ファンゲロス) to complete the ideal setting for the Evil Force's coming.
