Toei’s annual Super Sentai press conference has concluded, providing the world with some much-needed new details about the 41st Super Sentai Series, Uchu Sentai KyuRanger!
While the first 5 KyuRanger actors were revealed weeks ago, we know know the voice actors behind the other four members of this new team:
*Ookami Blue aka Garu will be voiced by Kazuya Nakai (best known as Zoro from One Piece)
*Oushi Black aka Champ is played by Akio Otsuka (Lt. Garuru from Sgt. Frog)
*Tenbin Gold aka Balance is voiced by Yuki Ono (Ultraman Belial)
*Washi Pink aka Raptor 283 shall be portrayed by Mao Ichimichi/”M.A.O.” (Luka from Gokaiger)
In addition we also got to see the KyuRangers’ commander, Sho Lonpo! Although others know him as The Strongest In The Universe, Sho Lonpo’s true character is just a kindly old man. He will be played by veteran voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya (Koji from Digimon Frontier).
Last but certainly not least the musical talents behind KyuRangers’ opening/ending theme have also been revealed!
*The intro, LUCKYSTAR will be performed by Tomohiro Hatano.
*The ending, KyuTama Dancing is done by Tsuyoshi Matsubara (who previously performed the opening theme to Gokaiger.
Uchu Sentai KyuRanger begins on February 12, 2017! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Super Sentai News!

Having Mao back as a Ranger makes me so incredibly happy and even more excited for Kyuranger to finally start.
SengalBoy says
Josuke Higashikata as TenbinGold?! Mah 3D waifu Mao Ichimichi is back?! ARRRRGGGHHHHHH I CAN'T CONTAIN THE HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That being said maybe they'll have an episode where Raptor 283 has a human disguise and have Mao play the human form. They did it with Candelira and her voice actress Haruka Tomatsu, and even Dayu and her VA Romi Park.
barnstenchfartface says
I wish Kamiya Hiroshi was Balance rather than the mentor. Oh well.
Sounds good, anyway.
Shin Henshin says
So we have a Sentai including Zoro...F/Z Rider...Josuke...Luka/Luluco...and their mentor is Araragi Koyomi.
Yup, sure, I'm in.
CinnamonSquirrel says
Happy that Luka is back, she was my favorite character from Gokaiger. I usually like Yellow heroes the best. However, I'm not sure if Spada looks like he's a nice person, or incredibly smug. Only time will tell. Another problem that I have is that in the three photos I've seen him in, Naga Rei already looks like an egocentric rat who is going to be the stereotypical "I'm better then all of you, I can do this alone" character that we're always stuck with in some variation at the beginning of the show. The only redeeming thing for him right now is that his suit kinda looks like Gavan, and I'm a HUGE Metal Heroes fan. Hammy looks pretty cool, and I like her suit. Lucky...I'm not sure on what exactly to say about him. There are sources saying the he's the usual LOUD AND EXCITED GOOD WILLED PERFECT HERO WHO IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE RANGERS that we've had the last couple of series, but he looks serious and calm. I swear, I'll die if I get a mix of Takeru Shiba and Daigo Kiryu. Raptor 283 looks like she'll be the Candellira of the group. However, her, Garu, Balance, and Champ, I can't really get any ideas. Anyone I forgot...oh, yeah, Stinger...he looks alright. This better be an investing series. The only times I watched Zyuohger where when there was actual plot stuff. Guess what? I understood all of it, and was able to skip 85% of the episodes without actually needing to go and look up what happened in a filler. Which by the way, there was too much filler in Zyuohger, especially for the 40th anniversary series. Kyuranger, good luck, and don't fuck it up!
Sunred says
These are other roles our voice-only rangers played.
Nakai, the voice of Garu was Gaomon and its evolution forms
Otsuka who plays Champ is the voice of SOLID FRIGGIN SNAKE
Ono who plays Balance is the voice of Josuke from JoJo's Bizarre adventure
M.A.O who plays Raptor 283 was also Hikari from Digimon Adventure TRI
Oh yeah, fun trivia already and the show is not out yet.
Sho Lonpo is a pun on Sholonpo, or Xiaolongbao in Chinese(do Cantonese people also say Xiaolongbao or is it a Mandarin only thing or vice versa?).
If you are not clear as in what I mean xiaolongbao/shoronpo are a kind of dumplings.
Sentai King says
You know the mentor is a pirate this could have Gokai Red be in the show at some point. Also he looks to have Megaranger main villain vibes in him he might be evil at some point in the show.
The cast has really deep background. I like the black bull one the most going to be fun to see what happens.
Helios says
I love it when Sentai actors/actresses play more than one ranger. So Gokai Yellow's actress is Washi Pink. Interesting. I love the team's jackets. The mentor looks interesting. His staff looks an awful lot like a transformation device. He's a dragon, so maybe we could Draco Violet?
GoseiWonder says
Gold is Josuke.
