List of Shuriken Sentai Ninninger characters

This is a list of characters from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (手裏剣戦隊ニンニンジャー Shuriken Sentai Ninninjā), a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Super Sentai Series.

Ninningers

The five main members of the Ninningers are the descendants of the Igasaki Clan (伊賀崎氏 Igasaki-shi), ninja who were involved in Japan's Sengoku Era where they dispatched Gengetsu Kibaoni, and are also the grandchildren of Yoshitaka Igasaki, who has been preparing for Kibaoni's predestined return. As users of their clan's Shuriken Ninja Arts (手裏剣忍法 Shuriken Ninpō) fighting style, the Ninningers' arsenal revolves around the use of their Nin Shuriken (忍シュリケン). The Ninningers can restore the purified Sealing Shuriken to the Nin Shuriken by sharpening their Nintality (忍タリティ Nintariti) enough. They each transform by inserting a Transformation Nin Shuriken (変化忍シュリケン Henge Nin Shuriken) into their ninjatō-like Ninja Ichibantou (忍者一番刀 Ninja Ichibantō, "Ninja Best Sword") sidearm weapons, which also can be used to perform special attacks including their signature Nin Fury Slash (忍烈斬 Ninretsuzan) attack, elemental jutsu with a Five-Style Nin Shuriken (五トン忍シュリケン Goton Nin Shuriken), unique jutsu with a Technique Nin Shuriken (技忍シュリケン Waza Nin Shuriken) (including special techniques used by other ninja heroes like the Hurricanegers, the Kakurangers and Jiraiya), and summon their Otomonin.

It is also later hinted that he went to Italy for certain reasons and as such, occasionally adds Italian phrases in his speech. He also single handedly built a completely new Igasaki Ninjutsu Dojo (伊賀崎忍術道場 Igasaki Ninjutsu Dōjō) after the old one was destroyed, equipped with countless secret panels and trapdoors as well as being able to change its design after tapping on one of the floorboards. One of the many legends associated to Yoshitaka is that he made contact with aliens several times, which was proven true when it is revealed that he used alien technology to create the Otomonin.^[8] Yoshitaka explains that he would eventually choose one of his grandchildren who managed to exceed his expectations by improving their Nintality while fully mastering the Shuriken Ninja Arts to become his successor and inherit the title of Last Ninja. However, he later reveals that the title of Last Ninja can be only be inherited by whoever strikes him down and absorbs his Nintality, much to the grief of his grandchildren, but when they show him their own conviction to surpass him by finding their own path to become the Last Ninja, he acknowledges them and joins forces with the Ninningers for the final battle with the Kibaoni Army Corps, by transforming into his own version of Aka Ninger. He is later killed when Kyuemon stabs him in the back, taking his Nintality and End Shuriken for himself before fading away from existence. At the same time, Yoshitaka reveals that he has actually been dead for the past 444 years, ever since he sealed Gengetsu Kibaoni, and the End Shuriken has been all that has kept him alive since. Before he dies, he gives a purified Sealing Shuriken to Kyuemon, which transforms into his own Nin Shuriken after finally acknowledging him as his teacher.

Kibaoni Army Corps

The Kibaoni Army Corps (牙鬼軍団 Kibaoni Gundan) is an army of Yokai based in Kibaoni Castle (牙鬼城 Kibaoni-jō) that seeks to conquer the world through fear. After being revived as an oni in modern times, Gengetsu Kibaoni and forces were sealed away within forty-eight Sealing Shuriken (封印の手裏剣 Fūin no Shuriken) by the Ninningers' grandfather Yoshitaka Igasaki. However, after decades of waiting, Kyuemon Izayoi manages to break the seal and release the Kibaoni Army Corps and use the three spearheads to gather the "Power of Fear" (恐れの力 Osore no Chikara) from terrorizing humans to restore their leader and resume their campaign with the power of the End Shuriken (終わりの手裏剣 Owari no Shuriken).

Gengetsu Kibaoni

Gengetsu Kibaoni (牙鬼 幻月 Kibaoni Gengetsu)^{[lower-alpha 1]} was formerly an evil feudal warlord during the Sengoku Era who believed that fear was the best method to unite the war-torn Japan. He wears a shikami mask covering his face and is armed with the Gangataikaku (含牙戴角, "Fang and Horn") naginata. His signature attacks are the Way of the Supreme Fang - Hundred Demons Illusion (牙凌道 百鬼幻 Garyōdō Hyakkigen) and the Way of the Supreme Fang - Asura (牙凌道 阿修羅 Garyōdō Ashura). Though Kibaoni was killed by the ninjas of the Igasaki clan, he vowed to return in 444 years to resume his campaign. As a result, Kibaoni sacrificed his humanity to be revived as an oni centuries later before he was sealed away by Yoshitaka Igasaki. But Kibaoni's prophecy, due to a miscalculation of dating, is revealed to begin in 2015 as Kyuemon manages to release his master and their forces. Lacking physical form upon his release, Kibaoni tasks his retainers to gather fear so he can reconstitute himself, and eventually achieves his goal using the grief and anger of his wife over their son Mangetsu's death. After Ariake and Kyuemon are defeated by the Niningers, Gengetsu absorbs them into his body and enlarges himself for the final battle against the heroes, just to be ultimately destroyed by Haoh Gekiatsu Daioh after Kyuemon breaks free of his body.^[38][39]

Gengetsu Kibaoni is voiced by Mugihito (麦人).^[40]

Kyuemon Izayoi

Kyuemon Izayoi (十六夜 九衛門 Izayoi Kyūemon)^{[lower-alpha 2]} was originally the first and only apprentice of Yoshitaka. But after becoming fearful of his power after Yoshitaka refused to hand over the End Shuriken, Kyuemon ended up in his current kitsune-masked form with mastery of Yojutsu (妖術 Yōjutsu) spells and a hatred towards his former mentor. As a self-styled page of Kibaoni, Kyuemon ordered the destruction of the Igasaki Ninjutsu Dojo to obtain a special mallet that he uses to end the confinement of Kibaoni's spirit. Kyuemon also searches for the End Shuriken for its power, justifying he has the right as Yoshitaka's first apprentice. But while Raizo was easy for him to manipulate, Kyuemon had difficult luck doing the same with Masakage and attempts an alliance with Kinji for his goals. When that failed, Kyuemon acts against Masakage and Ariake by reviving four of the Oniwaban Five into his service. Later, after finding Mangetsu dying after a fight Ninningers, Kyuemon reveals that he is Kibaoni's firstborn son. Kibaoni further explains that Kyuemon is his son Shingetsu Kyuemon Kibaoni (牙鬼 久右衛門 新月 Kibaoni Kyūemon Shingetsu) by a concubine 444 years prior to the start of the series; he then went on to protect Kyuemon, and set the plans of his second revival into motion by using his then-nascent Yokai powers to send the infant into the future. When the Ninningers fought his father, he stabbed Yoshitaka in the back killing him, stealing his Nintality and the End Shuriken. He uses the stolen Last Ninja powers and several corrupted Sealing Shuriken to assumes a much more powerful form. In his final stand against the Ninningers, Takaharu and Kinji manage to figure out that Kyuemon has actually been following in Yoshitaka's footsteps all along, in a similar way to Kinji, as both want the End Shuriken in order to bring their families back. After admitting this is the truth, Kyuemon receives his own Nin Shuriken from Yoshikata but is interrupted by Gengetsu, who absorbs Kyuemon into his body to boost his power. In a last ditch effort, Kyuemon escapes from his father, allowing the Ninningers to finish him.

His signature attack is the Way of the Supreme Fang - Thunder Phantom Slash (牙凌道 雷幻斬り Garyōdō Raigen Giri). While he passionately hates the Igasaki clan, Raizo has his own ambition and craves battling powerful enemies to the point that he will kill off his allies if he considers them to be interfering. Raizo was revived after Kyuemon gives his remains the Power of Fear that he collected from the actions of Kamaitachi and Kappa so that he can help him gather more fear. But revealed to be not fully awakened, Raizo refuses to aid Kyuemon as he personally fights the Ninningers to awake himself up by facing a worthy opponent. This results in Raizo finding an ideal opponent in Takaharu, reluctantly agreeing to assist Kyuemon as it would allow him to be able to fight the human for real in a battle to the death. Once eventually achieving his goal, managing to render Takaharu unconscious after defeating him, Raizo honors his promise to Kyuemon by terrorizing the city with his Jukkarage forces before being defeated by Aka Ninger in a rematch. Though he accepted his defeat, Raizo is forcefully enlarged into a mindless berserker by Kyuemon, wielding a Gashadokuro zanbatō. In the end, Raizo is defeated by King Shurikenzin and enabled to return to the afterlife, thanking Takaharu and apologizing to his master. When Gengetsu Kibaoni is finally fully revived, he revives Raizo a second time with a corrupted Sealing Shuriken, giving him a more powerful form.

She is impatient and vain, yelling at Masakage or Kyuemon (whom she always refers to as "kitsune") to fix things when things don't go right and using the "fear" gathered by Kyuemon as a beauty treatment or to flavor shaved ice. She believes she needs to look her best when her husband is finally revived. She is never seen without two Hyakkarage bodyguards who protect and serve her. Ariake eventually reveals the reason why she needed so much fear energy was because she was pregnant with Kibaoni's son, Mangetsu Kibaoni. She loves Mangetsu dearly, doting on him even though he was extremely abusive towards her, and even forgives him for using her as a human shield. When Kyuemon reports Mangetsu's demise to Ariake, her rage and grief, alone, creates an overflow of fear energy great enough to allow Kibaoni to regain his physical form and is heartbroken to learn of Kyuemon's familial ties to her husband.
