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:
