Main characters
[edit]Kiramagers
[edit]The eponymous Kiramagers fight using the power of the Kiramai Stones (キラメイストーン, Kiramei Sutōn).[1] As a cover for their mission of protecting Earth, they became CARAT fashion models to gain popularity so people will believe in the Kiramagers' existence.[2][3][4] Each primary member carries a tire-like Kiramai Changer (キラメイチェンジャー, Kiramei Chenjā) brace, which they utilize to transform and control their mecha, along with a Kiramai Shot (キラメイショット, Kiramei Shotto) handgun and a Kiramai Sword (キラメイソード, Kiramei Sōdo), which can combine to form the Kiramai Buster (キラメイバスター, Kiramei Basutā) bayonet, as sidearms.[2][3][4]
In their fight against Yodonheim, the Kiramagers acquire the Kiraful Go Arrow (キラフルゴーアロー, Kirafuru Gō Arō) bow, which allows them to become the armored Go Kiramagers (ゴーキラメイジャー, Gō Kirameijā) for 100 seconds.[5]

Despite also being the newest member, he is appointed the leader as he was chosen by the strongest Kiramai Stone, much to his initial dismay before he eventually settles into the role.[8][4][9][10] Due in part to his love of drawing, he gains the Kiramental (キラメンタル, Kiramentaru) ability to create virtually anything after joining CARAT, such as reformatting the Kiramai Stones into the Kiramai Mashin and granting them the ability to combine.[3][4] Before Mabushina recruited him and during his time as a Kiramager, Juru experiences visions of Crystaria and Yodonheim and was visited by Oradin's spirit in his dreams.[2][11] Near the end of the series, Oradin reveals that these and Juru's Kiramental were a result of him being the chosen hero of Crystaria, taking Galza's place after he was corrupted by Emperor Yodon's influence.[12]

[edit]Tametomo Imizu (射水 為朝, Imizu Tametomo)[13][7] is an esports professional who excels in long range combat. He acts as an older brother figure and provides assistance when needed. However, he is also a selfish egotist, seeing himself as the Kiramagers' "ace" even when the others disagree.[2] After Juru fails to recognize him, Tametomo develops an antagonistic relationship with him, questioning his every move and talking back to him every so often.[3][8][4][14] This came to a head when a jealous Shovelo convinces Tametomo to take Juru's position away from him, only to get suspended for botching a mission. Though he quits out of anger, the girls help Tametomo realize he never wanted the leadership role anyway and that Juru was always more qualified in the first place. Once he reconciles with the others, Muryo names Tametomo second-in-command of the Kiramagers and grants him the authority to lead should anything happen to Juru.[9]

Despite being a popular stuntman, most of his fans are annoyed by his doll-like personality as he rarely shows emotion outside of acting.[2] While he likes to maintain an air of stoicism and coldness, he only does so to contain his true feelings and not be a burden to everyone around him as he believes a hero should suffer in silence. After Juru learns his secret, Shiguru learns to be more open about his feelings and become a trusted friend to Juru.[18]

During an expedition with the Crystarian, a Monstone lodged itself in Takamichi's body. To save him, Oradin revived him as a human-Crystarian hybrid, which slowed down his body's aging process. Following this, Oradin took him to Crystaria and adopted him.[25] After battling Numajo alongside his foster family and apparently losing his foster mother, Mabayuine, Takamichi began to fear for Mabushina's life, so Galza suggested he leave his foster family to search for the four Kanaema Stones (カナエマストーン, Kanaema Sutōn) in order to save her, unaware that it was a ploy for him to leave Crystaria vulnerable to Yodonheim's invasion. When he met the Kiramagers and reunited with Mabushina and Muryo, Takamichi learns of what happened and eventually joins them in fighting Yodonheim.[26][27] After Mabushina is healed from Numajo's curse, Takamichi continues searching for the Kanaema Stones so he can use their powers to restore Crystaria instead.[28] During his quest, Galza uses Takamichi's Monstone to manipulate him into fighting his allies until Juru extracts it and frees him from Galza's control.[29] After defeating Emperor Yodon, Takamichi and Mabushina return to Crystaria and use the Kanaema Stones to restore it to its former glory. He also erects a mountain monument to his Kiramager teammates in their honor.[30]
Unlike the primary Kiramagers, Takamichi utilizes the globe-like Shiny Kiramai Changer (シャイニーキラメイチェンジャー, Shainī Kiramei Chenjā) brace to transform into Kiramai Silver (キラメイシルバー, Kiramei Shirubā). He also wields the Shiny Breaker (シャイニーブレイカー, Shainī Bureikā) jackhammer, which has a Drill Mode (ドリルモード, Doriru Mōdo) that can be used as either a firearm or a tonfa, as well as perform the Shining Beam Attack (シャイニングビームアタック, Shainingu Bīmu Atakku) finisher, and a Hyper Arm Mode (ハイパーアームモード, Haipā Āmu Mōdo) that can be used as a reach extender.[24]
While under Galza's influence, Takamichi utilized a dark copy of the Shiny Kiramai Changer called the Yodon Changer (ヨドンチェンジャー, Yodon Chenjā) to transform into Dark Kiramai Silver (ダークキラメイシルバー, Dāku Kiramei Shirubā).[29]
During the events of the stage show Mashin Sentai Kiramager: Final Live Tour 2021, Takamichi is able to use the Kiraful Go Arrow to assume his own Go Kiramager form.

Recurring characters
[edit]Yodonheim
[edit]The Dark Empire Yodonheim (闇の帝国ヨドンヘイム, Yami no Teikoku Yodonheimu)[44][7] is an evil empire of dark beings under the command of Emperor Yodon that conquered Crystaria with their Yodon Army (ヨドン軍, Yodon-gun) invasion force before setting their sights on Earth. Their main objective is to destroy everything that is beautiful in the universe.[2] After Emperor Yodon's death, Carantula reorganizes Yodonheim and maintains a good relationship with Earth and Crystaria.[30]
Emperor Yodon
[edit]Emperor Yodon (ヨドン皇帝, Yodon-kōtei) is the mysterious leader of Yodonheim who possesses two additional personalities.[2][45] He was originally a conglomerate of serpents born from the embodiment of corruption who rose to power after creating his own Jamen and devouring his defeated opponents, assimilating their powers while increasing in size. Yodon subconsciously created Yodonna and Shadon to use them as protective guises so he can safely travel to other worlds not consumed in darkness.[30] Years prior to the series, he corrupted a young Galza into resenting his kingdom, which eventually led to Crystaria's destruction and Oradin's defeat.[12]
Initially acting from the shadows, Yodon came to Earth as Yodonna to assist his generals in invading Earth before eventually revealing himself.[5] Sometime after Shadon's destruction,[46] Yodon absorbs Galza as a replacement and is seemingly killed by his traitorous general.[47] However, the emperor drops the ruse after Juru reveals the existence of the Kanaema Stones and proceeds to invade Earth to hunt the artifacts and reshape the entire universe to his liking.[12][33] After being tricked into removing his Jamen, Yodon is ultimately destroyed by a fatal shot to his exposed head from Juru's Kiraful Go Arrow finisher enhanced by the Destoria (デストリア, Desutoria) Kanaema Stone.[30]
Yodon's other selves are represented by a pair of masks, each of which hang off his Jamen and covers his main mask when he takes on their appearance. As his alternate personalities are separate beings unto their own, Yodon can communicate with them through their Yodon Changers. On his own, Emperor Yodon is capable of unleashing a mass of darkness from his body and laying waste to several city blocks. As a conglomerate of darkness, Yodon is incapable of sustaining himself in pristine and beautiful areas without switching to one of his alternate personalities.[45][48] He can also summon an army of Emperor Guard Bechats to aid him in battle.[30]
Emperor Yodon is voiced by Kazuhiro Yamaji (山路 和弘, Yamaji Kazuhiro).[49]
Yodonna
[edit]Yodonna (ヨドンナ) is an alternate personality of Emperor Yodon who initially believed herself to be his private secretary. She arrives on Earth to support Galza and Carantula due to the Kiramagers' interference in their invasion plans.[50][28][5][45] While Yodonna maintains her loyalty to Yodon, he executes her after she becomes a liability in his fight against the Kiramagers, embracing her demise if it meant Yodon would be victorious.[33]
In her titular web-exclusive series, Yodonna ends up in the Yodon afterlife to await judgment. However, she steals a revival device and returns to Earth in the hopes of possessing the Kiramagers' leader Juru Atsuta and use his life force to revive herself, only to accidentally end up in the body of his girlfriend, Mizuki Kakihara. Yodonna settles for this development, but is forced to protect Kakihara from yakuza members that the latter's detective brother was investigating. In the process, Yodonna befriends Kakihara and they help each other learn emotions and work on her attitude respectively. As a result of their friendship, Yodonna only siphons enough energy from Kakihara to temporarily sustain her physical form, destroy the revival device, and save Kakihara from yakuza leader, Hideki Kujirasaki. Afterward, Yodonna returns to the Yodon afterlife, but realizes she can revive herself if she learns to love.[51][52] While she is tricked by Hanidora in an attempt to revive Emperor Yodon, Yodonna eventually succeeds at reviving herself.[51][52][53]
She can transform from her human form to her Yodonheim uniform using the Yodon Changer.[50] She is also armed with the Akkanben (悪漢鞭, Villain Whip) riding crop that can enhance Yodonheim members at great cost to them or divide whomever she hits into five duplicates of themselves, each of which embody a different personality trait and can merge back at their leisure.[5][45] In her titular web-exclusive series, she gains access to a new, more powerful battle form called Yodonna Burst (ヨドンナ・バースト, Yodonna Bāsuto).[53]
Yodonna is portrayed by Nashiko Momotsuki (桃月 なしこ, Momotsuki Nashiko).[50]
Shadon
[edit]Shadon (シャドン) is an alternate personality of Emperor Yodon's who believes himself to be a hunter and his direct messenger. He is armed with the Croco Rifle (クロコライフル, Kuroko Raifuru) sniper rifle and, like Yodonna, is equipped with a Yodon Changer.[54] He is destroyed by Go Kiramai Yellow.[46]
Shadon is voiced by Takaya Kuroda (黒田 崇矢, Kuroda Takaya).[55]
Galza
[edit]Also known as the "Treacherous Demon General" (裏切りの鬼将軍, Uragiri no Oni-shōgun), Galza (ガルザ, Garuza) is a fierce, aggressive Crystarian general armed with the Crush End (クラッシュエンド, Kurasshu Endo) hook sword. He is Oradin's younger brother, Mabushina's biological uncle, and Takamichi's foster uncle.[56]
Once an idealistic young Crystarian and one of the chosen heroes of his home planet,[47] Galza's mind was corrupted from an early age by Emperor Yodon, causing the former to resent Oradin and everything he cherishes as well as have no memory of his encounter with Yodon.[57][12] As an adult, Galza believed himself more worthy of becoming king than Oradin due to his stronger Kiramental, with the resulting jealousy and resentment over being denied the throne driving him to side with Yodonheim. He subsequently became general of the Yodon Army, overseeing the attack on Crystaria before tracking Mabushina to Earth.[2][3][4] Amidst his battles with the Kiramagers, Galza develops a rivalry with Juru after seeing similarities between him and Oradin as well as cultivate a dark power similar to Kiramental fueled by his negative emotions; which Carantula later calls "Jamental" (ジャメンタル, Jamentaru).[14][10][11][16][29] Following Oradin's revival as Mashin Oradin, Galza hones his Jamental further to compete with his brother's growing powers, obtaining the ability to brainwash the Kiramagers' Mashin into his service.[58][43]
After Shadon is killed in battle,[46] Galza offers himself to Yodon as a replacement personality in a scheme to take over the latter's body, transforming himself into the more powerful Lord Galza (ロードガルザ, Rōdo Garuza), who is armed with the Gold Chainsword (ゴルドチェーンソード, Gorudo Chēnsōdo).[47] When Juru breaks into Yodonheim and reveals the Crystarian's forgotten past, Galza realizes he had been manipulated and attempts to atone for his misdeeds, only for Yodon to remove Galza and fatally wound him.[12] Despite this, Galza uses the last of his life force to save Juru, entrusting him with Mashin Jouki before making peace with Oradin and departing to the afterlife.[33]
Galza is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura (中村 悠一, Nakamura Yūichi). As a child, Galza is voiced by Natsumi Kawaida (川井田 夏海, Kawaida Natsumi).
Carantula
[edit]Also known as the "Dark Masked Magician" (闇の仮面遣い, Yami no Kamen-tsukai), Carantula (クランチュラ, Kuranchura) is the Yodon Army's strategist who seeks inspiration from the culture and technology of the planets he invades to develop new methods for conquering them.[2] He is armed with the Yodo Meter (ヨドメーター, Yodo Mētā) spear and is able to create Jamen (邪面, Evil Mask) masks to convert Bechats into Jamenshi and Dark Beasts into Jamen Beasts, storing the dark energy created by the former during their attacks in his staff to summon the latter.[8][4]
However, after Yodonna splits him into five duplicates and the Kiramagers destroy the one embodying his loyalty to Emperor Yodon,[59] Carantula becomes frustrated by Yodonna's subsequent abuse and bonds with Juru as a fellow artist. The former quits his position in Yodonheim and is almost executed by Yodon, but Galza saves Carantula to help him betray the emperor.[60][47] Carantula later grants the Kiramagers access to Yodonheim and reclaims the Illusia (イリュージョア, Iryūjoa) Kanaema Stone for their final fight against Yodon.[12][33] After Yodon's death, Carantula takes over leadership of Yodonheim and stops invading other planets.[30]
Carantula is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato (高戸 靖広, Takato Yasuhiro).
Bechats
[edit]The Bechats (ベチャット, Bechatto) are the Yodon Army's foot soldiers armed with the Numade (ヌマデ) rakes.[2] With a Jamen, a Bechat can be promoted to a Jamenshi.[61] Through the power of Yodonna, a Bechat can become a zombie-like Hyper Bechats (ハイパーベチャット, Haipā Bechatto) with increased strength, but at the cost of expiring soon after.[28] In the final fight against Emperor Yodon, the dark ruler summons Emperor Guard Bechats (エンペラーガードベチャット, Enperā Gādo Bechatto) as reinforcements.[30]
Other members

Mabushina
[edit]Mabushina (マブシーナ, Mabushīna) is the princess of Crystaria, Takamichi's foster sister, Oradin's daughter, and sole heir to his throne. When Yodonheim invaded the planet, Mabushina fled to Earth with the Kiramai Stones upon her father's instruction and recruited the Kiramagers.[2][3][4] She was initially very close to and fond of Takamichi, but grew to resent him because of his absence during Yodonheim's invasion; even going so far as to blame him for Oradin's death.[25] After Tametomo and Shiguru help her realize she had more to do with what happened to her father than Takamichi did, Mabushina reconciles with her foster brother.[37][77] When she is afflicted by Numajo's curse, she learns the true reason as to why her brother left Crystaria.[27] After returning to her home planet and using the Kanaema Stones to restore it, Mabushina is crowned Queen of Crystaria as both of her parents had lost their physical bodies.[30]

Ever since, Oradin kept in contact with the Hakataminami family.[25] He also clashed with Numajo, who cursed his family in retaliation.[26][27] After Juru rescues his soul from Yodonheim, Oradin fuses himself with the Miracle Stone and returns as Mashin Oradin.[36]

[edit]Mabayuine (マバユイネ) is Oradin's wife, Mabushina's mother, Takamichi's foster mother, and the queen of Crystaria. Decades prior, she was seemingly killed by Numajo's curse. This prompted Takamichi to return to Earth in search of the Kanaema Stones upon realizing that Mabushina could fall victim to the curse as well.[27][34] However, Takamichi and Mabushina eventually learn that before she died, Mabayuine transferred her life energy to her headdress' jewel and can be revived from it once she regains her energy.[68]

CARAT also serves as the Kiramagers' base and shelter for Mabushina and her family after their home planet is destroyed.[2][3][4] In their fight against Yodonheim, CARAT receives support from the sporting goods company SCRTC, Sena's athletics sponsor who had previously supported the Kiramagers' predecessors, the Gekirangers.[70]

As a result, they learn each other's secrets and eventually start going out together.[67][30]
During the events of the web-exclusive series Yodonna, Kakihara is possessed by the spirit of the titular character, who intended to use Atsuta's life force to revive herself. Yodonna starts to use Kakihara's life force instead, but the two end up bonding and teaching each other about emotions, with the former helping the latter work on her attitude.

Mizuki Kakihara is portrayed by Mizuki Saiba (西葉 瑞希, Saiba Mizuki).
Monstones
[edit]Monstones (モンストーン, Monsutōn) are parasitic stone monsters that can merge with lifeforms.[24] One such monster merged with Takamichi three decades prior, leading Oradin to fuse his body with the Shining Kiramai Stone in order to save him.[25] In the present, Galza uses his Jamental to turn it into a stronger Jaaku Monstone (邪悪モンストーン, Jaaku Monsutōn) to take control of Takamichi until Juru extracted it from his body using the Destoria Kanaema Stone.[29] After a Monstone absorbed the Energia (エネルギア, Enerugia) Kanaema Stone into its body, it enlarged into a giant form and gained superhuman strength, but was destroyed by Gigant Driller.[28]
