An official announcement of the 46th Super Sentai series Avataro Sentai DonBrothers has just been published!

This Sentai series is inspired by the folk tale Momotaro with each of the five DonBrothers taking on an appearance from a character in the legendary story.

DonBrothers’ head writer is none other than tokusatsu legend Toshiki Inoue– this will be his first Super Sentai project in 30 years! Suit actor turned action director Hirofumi Fukuzawa will remain on hand to helm the series.

Fans eager to see new Red Ranger Don Momotaro in action will not have to wait long- the character will make an introductory appearance in the 42nd episode of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger– currently scheduled to air January 9 2022!

A press conference will be held in early February 2022 fully introducing the DonBrothers team.

Avataro Sentai DonBrothers will begin airing on March 6 2022!

Toei has published the first official images of the 46th Super Sentai Series- Avataro Sentai DonBrothers!

DonBrothers is a five-member Sentai team consisting of:

*Red Ranger Don Momotaro
*Blue Ranger Saru Brother
*Yellow Ranger Oni Sister
*Pink Ranger Kiji Brother
*Black Ranger Inu Brother

Toei has chosen a very unique anniversary celebration for the upcoming Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations movie!

A sequence of the film will take place in 1971 featuring the very first Kamen Rider, Takeshi Hongo. Previously this role had been played by legendary actor Hiroshi Fujioka but at 75 he no longer resembles the original character.
