Juken Sentai Gekiranger

Story

Characters

Main

• Gekirangers: Students and associates of the Geki Jūken Beast Arts martial arts schools. The primary Gekirangers utilize the Geki Changer arm guards, which harness and amplify their Geki, to transform and store their weapons, such as the Geki Bazooka. After becoming Super Gekirangers, they gain the use of the Super Geki Claw and jet engine-like vents on their suits that channel their Kageki and enable various feats of speed and aerial maneuverability. Furthermore, the Gekirangers can use their Geki to manifest the auras of their fighting styles' totem animals into physical forms and combine them to form Kenpō Giants.
• *Jan Kandou: A feral child raised by tigers in the forest outside the Beast Origin Village who narrowly survived an attack by Long, who intended to kill him due to his lineage, and repressed the memories of the incident. As a result of his upbringing, Jan's vocabulary became limited, leading to him incorporating "Jan-ish" phrases such as "niki-niki", "zowa-zowa", and "waki-waki" in his speech. In the present, Master Xia Fu begins training Jan as the latter embodies the "Unbreakable Body" aspect of Geki Jūken, which allows him to withstand most forms of pain, but requires assistance in mastering the Heart aspect. Soon after, Jan joins the Gekirangers as Geki Red and becomes a practitioner of the Geki Jū Tiger-Ken and Geki Jū Shark-Ken styles. While transformed, he wields the Geki Nunchaku and the Geki Sabers. As Super Geki Red, Jan embodies the "Extremely Unbreakable Body" aspect of Geki Jūken and utilizes the Geki Jū Gorilla-Ken style. Jan Kandou is portrayed by Hiroki Suzuki as a young adult and Arashi Fukasawa as a child.
• *Ran Uzaki: An employee of SCRTC who comes from a high-class family and initially focuses heavily on her willpower and keeping her heart in the highest place, to the point where she embodies the "Honest Heart" aspect of Geki Jūken. However, a combination of these and her inability to attend to small details leaves her technique lacking. In time, she becomes happier and more relaxed and is appointed leader of the Gekirangers. Additionally, she is a practitioner of the Geki Jū Cheetah-Ken and Geki Jū Elephant-Ken styles. As Geki Yellow, she wields the Geki Tonfa standard-issue weapon in its Bo configuration and the Geki Meteor hammer. As Super Geki Yellow, she embodies the "Extremely Honest Heart" aspect of Geki Jūken and utilizes the Geki Jū Penguin-Ken style. Ran Uzaki is portrayed by Mina Fukui.
• *Retsu Fukami: An intelligent yet solitary, selfish, and seemingly cold SCRTC employee who holds a grudge against Rio, who he believes killed his brother Gou when he was a child. In pursuit of seeking revenge, Retsu set aside an artistic career to study his brother's fighting style, but believes winning should be like a painting; complete and inspirational. Due to prioritizing his techniques in his training, to the point where he embodies the "Fantastic Technique" aspect of Geki Jūken, Retsu's attention to beauty costs him stamina, leaving his body at a disadvantage until he defeats Master Bion Biao in an endurance match and obtains Kageki. Additionally, Retsu is a practitioner of the Geki Jū Jaguar-Ken and Geki Jū Bat-Ken styles. As Geki Blue, he wields the Geki Tonfa in its standard dual tonfa configuration and the Geki Japanese war fan. As Super Geki Blue, Retsu embodies the "Extremely Fantastic Technique" aspect of Geki Jūken and utilizes the Geki Jū Gazelle-Ken style. Retsu Fukami is portrayed by Manpei Takagi as a young adult, Nao Fujisaki as a child, and Sora Kitajima as a baby respectively.
• *Gou Fukami: Retsu's overprotective older brother and a student in Jūken alongside Rio and [|Miki Masaki]. Despite this, Gou initially lacks passion for justice and fights only for himself. This resulted in him developing and mastering a dangerous form of Geki called Shigeki and reinventing the Geki Jū Wolf-Ken style into his personal Fukami Style. After their parents died, Gou forced Retsu to never practice Jūken before leaving to fight Rio using an imperfect form of a forbidden Geki Waza in an attempt to defeat and seal him. However, Gou was transformed into a feral werewolf and wandered the world for fifteen years until he eventually regains his human form and reluctantly joins the Gekirangers as Geki Violet. Unlike the primary Gekirangers, Gou embodies the "Iron Will" aspect of Geki Juken and utilizes the Gong#Boxing bracelet in order to transform due to his Shigeki being incompatible with Geki Changers. Gou Fukami is portrayed by Riki Miura.
• *Ken Hisatsu: A free-spirited martial arts prodigy who trained at the Beast Origin Village and mastered one of the oldest fighting styles in the Beast Arts, the Geki Jū White rhinoceros, to overcome the pain of losing his mother at a young age. He was originally meant to join Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami as their third teammate, but left to travel abroad due to his Geki Changer being broken and his desire to not restrict himself to the Geki Jūken school. Ken eventually returns in the present to aid the Gekirangers in their battle against the Rin Jūken Akugata and Gen Jūken schools as the white-colored Geki Chopper before returning to work at SCRTC Meisters once the aforementioned battle is over. Unlike the primary Gekirangers, Ken embodies the "Amazing Ability" aspect of Geki Jūken and utilizes the SaiBlade gauntlet in order to transform. In combat, he can utilize the Geki Hard Diamond technique, which allows him to channel his Geki over his hand and convert it into a diamond blade, along with Kageki. Additionally, the SaiBlade serves as his primary weapon, can switch between the gun-like SaiBlade Finger mode and the blade-like SaiBlade Cutter mode, and can combine with the Super Gekirangers' Super Geki Claw to form the Super SaiBlade, which either Ken or any one of the Super Gekirangers can use to perform a Kageki/Geki Hard Diamond fusion attack. Ken Hisatsu is portrayed by Sotaro.
• Rio: The leader of the Rin Jūken Akugata school and a practitioner of the Rinjū Lion-Ken style who seeks to gain strength so he can never suffer pain again. He initially joined the Geki Jūken school, trained under Master Xia Fu, and formed a close bond with Gou Fukami, but was dissatisfied with his progress and left to join the Akugata. During this time, he harnessed the power of Rinki to manifest an armored form called Black Lion Rio. Throughout the series, Rio forms a rivalry with Jan and cultivates Rinki from his fear, hatred, and jealousy before he is overthrown by Maku and manifests Dorinki from his self-hatred. After receiving more power and killing Maku to regain his position, Rio falls under Long's influence and uses the Gen Jūken school's power to transform into Genjū King Rio, gaining mastery over the Genjū Griffin style. Eventually, he discovers Long's treachery and joins forces with the Gekirangers to defeat him, sacrificing himself in the process. Rio is portrayed by Hirofumi Araki as an adult and Shogo Ehara as a child.
• Mere: A cruel and malevolent practitioner of the Rinjū Chameleon-Ken style who wields a pair of sais and a tongue-like weapon. Having died during the Geki-Rin Rebellion, Rio used Rinki to revive her as a Rinrinshi and grant her a human form a decade prior to the series due to their similar objectives. As a result, she became highly devoted to him and developed an initially unrequited love for him. She aids Rio in his plans throughout the series, during which she becomes a Vermilion Bird/rooster-themed Genshou with mastery over the Genjū Fenghuang style while working with the Gen Jūken school, before discovering Long is manipulating Rio and joins the latter in helping the Gekirangers defeat him, sacrificing herself in the process. Mere is portrayed by Yuka Hirata.
