Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (侍戦隊シンケンジャー, Samurai Sentai Shinkenjā, (refactored from [[[α]|shinken]])) is the title of Toei Company's thirty-third entry in its long-running Super Sentai Series of Japanese tokusatsu television series. It premiered on February 15, 2009, the week following the finale of Engine Sentai Go-onger.[1] It joins Kamen Rider Decade as a program featured in TV Asahi's Super Hero Time programming block, and following Decade's finale will be joined by Kamen Rider Double. The series' motif is that of traditional Japanese culture.

Story

The historic household of the Hotta clan is the setting of the Shiba Household in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

For 18 generations, samurai of the Shiba House (志葉家, Shiba Ke) have suppressed the evil intentions of the Gedoushu, malevolent spirits that enter the world of the living from gaps between buildings and other structures. Now, the youngest head of the Shiba Clan must gather his four vassals (家臣, kashin) in order to battle the Gedoushu as the Shinkengers.

Shinkengers

Main article: Shinkengers

Using the mystical power known as "Mojikara" (モヂカラ（文力）, Mojikara, translated as "Character Power"), these six teenagers can transform into the Shinkengers to combat the Gedoushu.

Takeru Shiba/Shinken Red (志葉 丈瑠／シンケンレッド, Shiba Takeru/Shinken Reddo)
The 18th head of the Shiba line and descendant of feudal lords, Takeru was reared since childhood by Hikoma Kusakabe to accomplish his family's legacy.
Ryunosuke Ikenami/Shinken Blue (池波 流ノ介／シンケンブルー, Ikenami Ryūnosuke/Shinken Burū)
Ryunosuke is a very serious young man who dreamt of becoming a kabuki actor in spite of his parents' wish for him to be a samurai. Though a loner, he takes his role as Takeru's vassal seriously.
Mako Shiraishi/Shinken Pink (白石 茉子／シンケンピンク, Shiraishi Mako/Shinken Pinku)
Mako is a gentle-hearted girl who fights for her ideals. She loves children and worked at a kindergarten prior to becoming a vassal.
Chiaki Tani/Shinken Green (谷 千明／シンケングリーン, Tani Chiaki/Shinken Gurīn)
Though cheerful and honest, Chiaki had no interest in becoming a vassal and often clashes with Takeru. While he is the most childish of the group and had abandoned his training early, Chiaki is a great strategist.
Kotoha Hanaori/Shinken Yellow (花織 ことは／シンケンイエロー, Hanaori Kotoha/Shinken Ierō)
Kotoha is a pure-hearted girl who worked in a bamboo shop and is skilled in martial arts. She became Takeru's vassal when her older sister fell ill.
Genta Umemori/Shinken Gold (梅盛 源太／シンケンゴールド, Umemori Genta/Shinken Gōrudo)
Genta is a childhood friend of Takeru, running his sushi stand and mastering his own personal Mojikara.

Gedoushu

Main article: Gedoushu

The Gedoushu (外道衆, Gedōshū, translated as "Heretic Party") are malevolent spirits that dwell in the Sanzu River that try to escape through various gaps in the living world to cause mayhem and allow the Sanzu River to flood both the land of the living and the land of the dead. Their leading members live aboard the Rokumon Junk (六門船, Rokumonsen) and consist of Doukoku Chimatsuri, Dayu Usukawa and Bony Shitari. Under their control are the Ayakashi (アヤカシ) who enter the mortal world, assisted by the Nanashi Company. There is also the mysterious rogue Juzo Fuwa who has an agenda of his own.
