The Hurricanegers (???????, Harikenj?) are the protagonists of the Super Sentai series, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger. Five of the Rangers come from different Ninja Academies while the sixth was labeled a runaway.

Three ninja students who are the survivors of the Hayate Way's Ninja Academy are mastering their school's Super Ninpou techniques. They represent the Hayate Heart embodying the "Presistence of the Future". The first kana of their surnames spell out "shinobi" (?????? ?(??), "Shi-No-Bi" (shinobi)) in Japanese.

Yousuke Shiina

Yousuke Shiina/Air Ninja Hurricane Red (?? ??/?????????, Shiina Y?suke/Soranin Hariken Reddo) is the leader of the team. Though a bit dim-witted Yousuke's courage and determination make up for his slow-thinking. At age 19, he worked at a window cleaning service. He eventually meets up with Shoichiro "Taisho" Tai, a fellow student in the Air Ninja class, who dropped out after seeing that it was not his place to be a ninja and attempted to make Yousuke quit too. But after seeing Yousuke in action, Shoichiro accepts it and wishes his friend good luck. Yousuke almost gets himself killed to provide the vaccine for Ikkou. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, while aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Yousuke became a handyman who travels around the world.

During his travels, six months prior to the events of 10 Years Later, Yousuke 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, Yousuke frees Tenkai and becomes a mentor to the boy.

After transforming, Yousuke says "The wind howls, the sky rages. Air Ninja, Hurricane Red!" (???????????????????!, "Kaze ga naki, sora ga ikaru. Soranin Hariken Reddo!").

She has a semi-crazed manager Futoshi Hase who books her for everything but when emergencies occur Nanami has to take off. While she appears to be cute, the others try to stay on her good side since an incident where she befriended Furabiijo who took advantage of her. It is later shown she has developed feelings for Isshuu Kasumi and he reciprocates.

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, hoping to be an actress.

It is revealed in Hero Mama League that Nanami is married and has a son named Kairi (??).

He also had a grandmother named Ayame Bitou who died when Kouta was four but remained by him in spirit. Thanks to an unintended by-product of Jakanja's plan, she was resurrected as a teenager and aids her grandson before fading back to the afterlife.

Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Kouta married and had a daughter named Suzune as well as a son named Riku.

Gouraigers

Kabuto: "Facing the shadows, slicing the shadows..." (???????????????, "Kage ni mukaete, kage o kiru...")

Kuwaga: "Facing the light, slicing the light." (?????????????, "Hikari ni mukaete, hikari o kiru.")

Kabuto and Kuwaga: "Lightning Speed Gouraiger revealed!" (???????????!??!, "Denk?sekka G?raij?! kenzan!")

Lightning Speed Gouraiger (???????????, Denk?sekka G?raij?, 1, 5, 7-51, Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger & Abaranger vs. Hurricanger) were originally the enemies of the Hurricaneger who join 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, 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.

Ikkou Kasumi

Ikkou Kasumi/Horned Ninja Kabuto Raiger (? ??/??????????, Kasumi Ikk?/Tsunonin Kabuto Raij?) is the older brother. His original goal was to raise Ikazuchi as the greatest Ninja school using it. Learning of the method his father intended Ikkou ingested Girigiri gas to go insane so Isshuu could kill him. Ikkou eventually regains his sanity and refuses to obtain the Evil Will like that ultimately deciding to abandon this goal and focus on his new goal of supporting the Hurricaneger. He develops a friendly rivalry with Yousuke later in the series as well as gaining a mortal enemy in Manmaruba (who implanted a Space Scorpion egg in the man's body for using him to get into Jakanja's ranks). He attempted to have the egg removed from his body with Ramon's aid a secret-even from Isshu. However Ramon could only hinder the hatching until Manmaruba's Mind Wave made it beyond Ramon's skills. Though told a cure may be found in Tibet, Ikkou refused to leave and it nearly killed him as a result; only stopped by Yousuke nearly killed himself to provide an antidote. Ikkou would later kill Manmaruba soon after the Fangerus crisis. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers prior to becoming estranged from Isshu, Ikkou becomes a member of the JunRetsu singing group. During the events of 10 Years Later, Ikkou helps Yousuke remember the good they did together before helping him save Tenkai. After transforming, Ikkou says "Crimson lightning. Horned Ninja Kabuto Raiger!" (????????????????!, "Shink? no inazuma. Tsunonin Kabuto Raij?!").

• Ninpou: Super Ninpou Illusion Kabuto (????????, Ch? Ninp? Maboroshi Kabuto), Ikazuchi Way Ninpou Kabuto Projection (????????????, Ikazuchi Ry? Ninp? Kabuto Utsushi).

Ikkou Kasumi is portrayed by Yujiro Shirakawa (?? ???, Shirakawa Y?jir?).

Isshuu Kasumi

Isshuu Kasumi/Fanged Ninja Kuwaga Raiger (? ??/??????????, Kasumi Issh?/Kibanin Kuwaga Raij?) is the younger brother. He originally resented Ikazuchi for staying in the shadows for 500 years, idolizing his brother and respecting most of his decisions. But Isshuu took the fact they were not rebuilding their Ninja school personally until he found the resting place of his father's sword Kiraimaru. Desiring to rebuild the Ikazuchi School Isshuu used the blade with disastrous results. After learning to use the Kiraimaru in a way where his friends would not be harmed, Isshuu decides to rebuild the school after Jakanja is defeated. By the events of 10 Years After, having left his brother's shadow, Isshu became a lady's man and eventually made peace with his brother. After transforming, Isshuu says "Azure thunderclap. Fanged Ninja Kuwaga Raiger!" (????????????????!, "S?ten no hekireki. Kibanin Kuwaga Raij?!").

Shurikenger

Sky Ninja Shurikenger (????????????, Tenk? Ninja Shurikenj?, 21-49) is the Ninja of 20 Faces and a representative of the Space Union Ninja School. He was formerly a star pupil of Hayate Way who had the talent to become a Hurricaneger, but he mysteriously vanished and was branded a Nukenin (???, "runaway shinobi") as a result. He encounters Gozen who he devotes himself to as her personal fighter at the cost of his renouncing his name and face as he is permanently 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. At first he would often disguise himself as a 'regular' person (even the other ninja would not know who) until he reverts to his true form with the Shuriken Ball device when confronted by Jakanja. He has the ability to transform through the command "Face Change!" into Shurikenger Fire Mode (???????? ????????, Shurikenj? Faiy? M?do), a quicker and deeper voiced version of himself, when the top of his helmet is rotated as he removes his main chest armor, which is a weight-inhibitor, and once removed from his body Shurikenger's strength and speed increase. Though he came to believe that a true ninja must follow orders, he defied Gozen by saving the other ninja whom he began to see as his friends. Taking Gozen's death hard, Shurikenger proceeds to train the ninja while remaining as unfeeling as possible. When mortally wounded while fighting Sandaru Shurikenger reveals his origins and urges the team to continue fighting from their world. He gives them his Shurikenball so they can follow the tracking device he planted on Sandaru to make their way to the centipede. While it appeared that he died in Tenkuujin in a kamikaze attack to take out Satorakura, Shurikenger mysteriously reappears and aids the Abaranger and Hurricaneger/Gouraiger teams briefly in their fight against Janin Iga stating "he's wherever he is needed" with his last appearance during the Legend War and oversee the Ninninger's progress under request of Toha Yamaji.

When introducing himself, Shurikenger says "I am Ninja of Ninja! The green fireball! Sky Ninja Shurikenger, has arrived!" (I am Ninja of Ninja!?????????????????, ??!, Ai amu Ninja obu Ninja! Midori no K?dan. Tenk? Ninja Shurikenj?, sanj?!).

• Whether intended or not Shurikenger's "master of disguise" trait is reminiscent of Sokichi Banba (of J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, played by Hiroshi Miyauchi), who also regularly disguised himself. One example of Banba's trait is when he disguised himself as a fisherman in J.A.K.Q. vs. Gorenger and showed up just when all hope of victory for justice seemed lost.
• The actors who play Shurikenger's ten human forms were all Super Sentai actors at one point: Hayato ?shiba and Masaya Matsukaze (respectively MegaRed and Blue in Denji Sentai Megaranger), Ry?ichir? Nishioka (GoRed in Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGoFive), Toshiya Fuji (FiveRed in Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman), Yoshihiro Masujima and Y?ji Kishi (respectively Blue and Red Racer in Gekisou Sentai Carranger), Sh?hei Izumi (TimeYellow in Mirai Sentai Timeranger), Tatsuya N?mi (ShishiRanger in Gosei Sentai Dairanger), Masaru Shishido (OhRed in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger) and Kenji Ohba (Battle Kenya in Battle Fever J and DenjiBlue in Denshi Sentai Denziman). Most of the actors have a reference to their previous Super Sentai roles, with Ohba referencing his as Retsu Ichijouji/Gavan in Space Sheriff Gavan.
• In addition, he also disguised himself as Yousuke once, Ikkou once, and Kouta twice. Ayame, Kouta's grandmother brought back to life, was mistaken for Shurikenger, as was Wendinu in a human disguise by the boys (Nanami caught on right away).
• Before Shurikenger disguises himself as Detective Tarou Kakio (Hayato Oshiba, also Kenta Date/MegaRed in Denji Sentai Megaranger), the real Kakio hands out his business card. At the bottom, "Zubatto kaiketsu shimasu" (his business motto) can be clearly seen. This is a direct nod to the Kaiketsu Zubat television series, being part of the titular character's introduction phrase.

Shurikenger is voiced by Taiki Matsuno (?? ??, Matsuno Taiki).

Tenkai

Tenkai (??) is a mysterious 10-year-old boy who appears during the events of Hurricanger: 10 Years After who Yousuke took as a traveling companion six months prior as Tenkai lacked any memory of his life before. However, kidnapped by Bat Ze Runba, Tenkai is revealed to be the embodiment of the Great Force that was born from the Evil Force after the Hurricanger/Goraiger 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 Yousuke's apprentice. Unlike his predecessor, though he possesses the same abilities and attacks, Tenkai does not use broken English phrases in his sentences.

When introducing himself, Tenkai says "I am the Ninja among Ninja! The green fireball! Sky Ninja Shurikenger, has arrived!"

Tenkai is portrayed by Koumi Hashimoto (?? ??, Hashimoto K?mi).

He turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers but forgot the words that would restore him to normal because of which he is referred to as the "Hamster Curator" (???????, Hamusut? Kanch?). Despite his form he can fight and communicated with Gozen before she revealed herself. Mugensai briefly returned to human form in the movie by means of a kiss from Princess Laiina but was forced back to a hamster when she left. Eventually he returns to his human form to protect his daughter from falling debris when their base was affected by the Evil Force. Two months after the final battle Mugensai gives the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers a final challenge to take their diplomas from him.

She also invented the robot kuroko that wipes out the memories of civilians who have seen the Hurricanegers or those who left the Hayate Way to ensure the public is unaware of the school's existence. She and Shurikenger worked together to create their own Tri-Condor for the team. Oboro also has a habit of breaking the fourth wall in Sentai team-up specials by talking about mecha combinations. She speaks with a kansai dialect.

Oboro Hinata is portrayed by Shoko Takada (?? ??, Takada Sh?ko).

Laiina

Princess Laiina (?????, Ra?na Hime, "Shushutto the Movie"): From planet Astrom, she and her royal family were known for having the gift of regeneration--as shown when they briefly restoring Mugensai to human form. She was sought after by the Jakanja for that power and for use in the "Soul-Eating Ceremony" which would turn her into an elixir that bestows immortality to whoever drinks it. After being saved by the Hurricanegers from the Saruninja, Laiina wants Yousuke as her bodyguard but his intolerance towards her spoilt nature drives her away. She was captured by the Saruninja but was saved by the Hurricanegers. Yousuke comes to understand Laiina through Knuckle and offers to be her friend. To return the offer of friendship Laiina lets them borrow her Tri-Condor to form Tenrai Senpuujin and defeat Ashurasaru. She then takes Tri-Condor to return to her planet with a sense of new-found courage.

Princess Laiina is portrayed by Sayaka Yoshino (?? ??, Yoshino Sayaka).

Gozen

Kagura (Lady Gozen) (??(???), Kagura (Gozen-sama), 39-48): A 500-year-old seemingly young woman, Kagura is the daughter of a feudal lord who died protecting her before she went into hiding as Lady Gozen with Shurikenger as her protector. She is the reason both Ninja schools have similar Karakuri systems. The Dark Stone placed in her forehead gives her a prolonged life but forces her to refrain from any form of sadness to maintain the seal. She moves in with the Hurricanegers after her location is compromised only to learn of the changes that occurred during her solitude from the outside world. In the process she learns the ninja are true heroes in spite of her earlier impressions of them. However, learning of her weakness, Sandaaru manages to weaken Gozen and force the Grieving Bow Medal out of her which kills her as a result.

During the events of 10 Years After, the Hurricangers meet another Lady Gozen who is a blood relative of Kagura's and was entrusted with Shurikenger's Shinobi Medal before it was stolen.

Kagura is portrayed by Hitomi Miwa (?? ???, Miwa Hitomi).

Karakuri Giants

Senpuujin

Karakuri Giant Senpuujin (???????, Karakuri Kyokan Senp?jin, lit. Trick Giant Whirlwind God): The Hurricanegers' Karakuri Giant that they use to battle the enlarged Jakanja monsters. It is formed by the command "Ninpuu Combine" (????, Ninp? Gattai). With the command "Senpuujin, hurry up!" (??????????!, Senp?jin har? appu!), it is able to change into a smaller much faster form called Senpuujin Hurrier (???????, Senp?jin Hari?) that lasts for 60 seconds. While in this form it has two large Double Hurrier Swords (??????????, Daburu Hari? S?do). Senpuujin's attacks are the Dolphin Tornado (??????????, Dorufin Torun?do) and the Mane Hurricane (?????????, Tategami Harik?n). Senpuujin Hurrier's attacks are the Wheel Crash (?????????, Ho?ru Kurasshu), the Gale Circle Moon Slash (?????, Ship? Engetsu Giri), and Hurrier Bullet Slash (????????, Hari? Dangan Giri). It was destroyed in the final episode only to be rebuilt by Wendinu and Furabiijo.

• With the command "Tenkuu Armament" (????, Tenk? Bus?), Tenkuujin can replace Hurricane Dolphin on Senpuujin to form Karakuri Giant Tenkuu Senpuujin (?????????, Karakuri Kyokan Tenk? Senp?jin, lit. Trick Giant Heavenly Whirlwind God) as the right arm for the Dynamite Tornado (???????????, Dainamaito Torun?do) finisher.

Gouraijin

Karakuri Giant Gouraijin (???????, Karakuri Kyokan G?raijin, lit. Trick Giant Booming Thunder God): The Gouraigers' Karakuri Giant, formed by the command "Thunderclap Combine" (????, Ikazuchi Gattai), could attack with Gourai Cannon. Was destroyed when the Gouraigers sacrificed it to destroy Sandaaru so that the Hurricanegers could go on to save the Earth from Tau Zanto. It was later rebuilt by Wendinu and Furabiijo.

• With the command Tenkuu Armament, Tenkuujin can combine with Gouraijin to form Karakuri Giant Tenkuu Gouraijin (?????????, Karakuri Kyokan Tenk? G?raijin, lit. Trick Giant Heavenly Booming Thunder God) as the back-mounted shoulder cannons for the Soaring Thunder Blast Cannon (?????, Tensh? Raigeki H?) finisher.

Gourai Senpuujin

Karakuri Giant Gourai Senpuujin (?????????, Karakuri Kyokan G?rai Senp?jin, lit. Trick Giant Booming Thunder Whirlwind God): Combination of Senpuujin and Gouraijin with Fuuraimaru formed by the command "School Transcendence Wind-Thunder Combine" (????????, Ry?ha Ch?etsu F?rai Gattai). Its finisher attack is the Rolling Thunder Hurricane (??????????????, R?ringu Sand? Harik?n). Its components were rebuilt for Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger. Unfortunately, it was defeated by KillerOh until Fuuraimaru and five components managed to escape.

• During Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger, Gourai Senpuujin combined with Gao Shark, Gao Tiger, and Gao Elephant, replacing Gourai Stag as the arms, becoming Karakuri Giant Gourai Senpuujin Sword & Shield (????????????&????, Karakuri Kyokan G?rai Senp?jin S?do ando Sh?rudo). It could only be maintained for a short time because the three Power Animals were too powerful for Gourai Senpuujin. Its finisher attack is the Wind-Thunder Hundred Animals Slash (??????, F?rai Hyakuj? Giri).
• During the Hurricaneger vs. Gaoranger, Tenkuujin combined with Gourai Senpuujin to form Karakuri Giant Tenkuu Gourai Senpuujin (???????????, Karakuri Kyokan Tenk? G?rai Senp?jin, lit. Trick Giant Heavenly Booming Thunder Whirlwind God) joining as the right arm as it does with Senpuujin for the Wold Thunder Hurricane (?????????????, Wairudo Sand? Harik?n) finisher. Tenkuu Gourai Senpuujin is the only combination to actually utilize all six Shinobi Machines.
• As Revolver Gourai Senpuujin (??????????, Riborub? G?rai Senp?jin, lit. Revolver Booming Thunder Whirlwind God) its finisher attack is the Thunder Hurricane Strike (??????????????, Sand? Harik?n Sutoraiku).

Tenkuujin

Karakuri Giant Tenkuujin (???????, Karakuri Kyokan Tenk?jin, lit. Trick Giant Heavenly God): Shurikenger's personal mecha has the ability to transform from helicopter Shinobi Machine mode to robot mode with the command "Soaring Transformation" (????, Hish? Henkei) where the cockpit becomes arms (revealing the head), the engines become legs and one of the rotor blades (the tips of the blades retract) becomes a head-dress. In a Shinobi Machine mode, it uses the Heavenly Launchers (???????, Tenk? Ranch?) and the Karakuri Ninpou Heavenly Split (??????????, Karakuri Ninp? Tenk? Reppa) attack. Shurikenger once brought in two Tenkuujin, duplicates which could combine with the other machines, so that they could combine with both Senpuujin and Gouraijin simultaneously and leave a Tenkuujin free to fight on its own. They were piloted by Oboro's slave robots but were inferior to the Tenkuujin and overheated too easily. In the finale Tenkuujin was destroyed when Shurikenger used its self-destruct to kill Satarakura.

Tenrai Senpuujin

Karakuri Giant Tenrai Senpuujin (?????????, Karakuri Kyokan Tenrai Senp?jin, lit. Trick Giant Heavenly Thunder Whirlwind God) is the combination of Senpuujin, Gouraijin and Tenkuujin with Tri-Condor that is formed by the command "Galactic Transcendence! Three-God Combine!" (????!????!, Ginga Ch?etsu! Sanjin Gattai!) and can use Tenkuujin's helicopter blades as the Cross Blades for the Karakuri Sword Technique Heavenly Thunder Gale Slash (????????????, Karakuri Kengi Tenrai Shipp? Zan) attack. Tenrai Senpuujin was first formed in the Hurricaneger movie to fight the Shinobi Space Monkey in their Ashurazaaru form with the aid of the Tri-Condor owned by Princess Laiina. Tenrai Senpuujin was later used when Manmaruba became huge and ate the Gouraiger. Hurricane Blue and Hurricane Yellow went to save them on the Gouraiger's Bari Thunders while Hurricane Red used Senpuujin to hold Manmaruba. Oboro sent three new Karakuri Balls which she created with Shurikenger's help. These new Karakuri Balls, which form Tri-Condor, are what enabled the combination of all three robots into Tenrai Senpuujin. When the mecha's chest blades spin they summon a destructive whirlwind called the Ultima Storm (?????????, Arutima Sut?mu) attack which lifts monsters into the sky and kills them. A stronger golden version of it is the Ultima Storm Maximum (??????????????, Arutima Sut?mu Makishimamu) such as when Gozen was in the cockpit with the Earth Ninja. Another technique is the Double Cross Formation (??????????????, Daburu Kurosu F?m?shon) where the chest blades turn 45° and project a force field that can block almost any frontal attack. In one episode Tri-Condor's Shinobi medals are each shattered after its first fight as Tenrai Senpuujin. The team were not able to use it for a while, due to the conflict of mixing wind and thunder energy together, but Orobo was able to repair the medals by herself. Tenrai Senpuujin does not utilize the Hurricane Dolphin as a component.

• As the Revolver Tenrai Senpuujin (??????????, Riboruba Tenrai Senp?jin, lit. Revolver Heavenly Thunder Whirlwind God), a combination of Tenrai Senpuujin and Revolver Mammoth, and used with the Karakuri Ball weapons (aside from #9 and #13), it can create the Ultima Rainbow (??????????, Arutima Reinb?) attack.

Revolver Mammoth

Super Karakuri Beast Revolver Mammoth (?????????????, Ch? Karakurij? Riborub? Manmosu): A giant robotic mammoth activated during the meteor shower once all six Shinobi Medals unlocked the seal of Ninjamisen by the command "Come on, Revolver Mammoth!". Revolver Mammoth is summoned into battle when one is playing the Ninjamisen. It can supply a seemingly endless amount of Karakuri Balls. The other way to call Revolver Mammoth is to pray. Gourai Senpuujin or Tenrai Senpuujin can also ride Revolver Mammoth and combine attacks. Attacks with Mammoth Beam (???????, Manmosu B?mu) and Karakuri Balls that are loaded into it.
