The series Avataro Sentai DonBrothers marks a break in tradition for Super Sentai- instead of the regular DX Mecha releases the DonBrothers will instead have new forms released as part of the Change Heroes subline.
First up in the series is Change Heroes Don Momotaro Alter– the leader of the DonBrothers transforms from metal peach to giant robot to fight off dangerous enemies using the Don Momotaro Alter Gear. This figure will be cross-compatible with releases from the Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger Change Heroes Line. Change Heroes Don Momotaro Alter is priced at 2200 Yen.
The Alter Gears can also awaken the powers of past Super Sentai- with the first release being Ressha Sentai ToQGer!

This Change Hero ToQGer will be sold separately for 2200 Yen or in a set with Don Momotaro Alter for 4400 Yen.
Both Change Hero DonBrother Alters are set for release in March 2022!
Toei has completed their annual Super Sentai press conference, introducing the world to the 46th Super Sentai Series Avataro Sentai DonBrothers!
The DonBrothers team consists of:
*Don Momotaro (Momoi Taro) played by Kohei Higuchi is a young man who arrived on Earth in a peach-shaped capsule as a child. He is a competent swordsman who cannot tell a lie.
*Saru Brother (Shinichi Saruhara) played by Yuki Beppu is known as “The Professor” for his analytical mindset. He fights with brute strength and can quickly spot an opponents’ weakness.
*Oni Sister (Kito Haruka) played by Shida Kohaku is the youngest of the team, an aspiring manga artist with a combat style built on tricking enemies.
*Inu Brother (Tsubasa Inuzuka) played by Totaro is a wanted fugitive at the start of the series, hunting down the one who committed the crime he is accused of. Upon transforming he becomes much shorter and faster.
*Kiji Brother (Tsuyoshi Kijino) played by Hirofumi Suzuki is the oldest of the team; as the series begins he lives a normal life compared to the others. He specializes in aerial combat attacks.
And one familiar face remains in the DonBrothers cast: Kita Komagine, currently playing Kaito Goshikida in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger! Kaito returns in this series as the owner of a coffee shop named DonBro and with a new set of powers- transforming into ZenKaiger Black!
Rounding out the DonBrothers supporting cast is Sohkoh Wada as Jin Momoi– Don Momotaro’s foster parent. Jin found the peach-shaped capsule containing Momoi Taro as a child; after coming into contact with the child Jin stopped aging. As the series begins Jin is in prison but can appear to the others using a holographic projection of himself.
The enemies of the Avataro Sentai DonBrothers are a group known as the Brain Persons! This villain team has three core members:
*Sonoi (played by Yuya Tominaga) is the calm-headed leader who loves painting.
*Sononi (played by Amisa Miyazaki) is a woman obsessed with human affairs.
*Sonoza (played by Shinnosuke Takahashi) is a man fascinated by human emotions since he cannot control his own.
The opening theme to DonBrothers is I Am The Only One! performed by MORISAKI WIN and features a dance sequence demonstrated by the cast:
Avataro Sentai DonBrothers begins on March 6 2022!
