Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger

Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger is Toei’s twenty-sixth production in the Super Sentai metaseries. Its catchphrase is, “Unknown even to others, unknown even to the world, we become shadows to defeat evil!” (Hito mo shirazu, yo mo shirazu, kage to narite aku o utsu!).

Footage from the series was used in the American series Power Rangers Ninja Storm (the end credits listed the show under the title Hurricane Rangers). On April 1, 2013, Shun Shioya, Nao Nagasawa, Kohei Yamamoto, and Yujiro Shirakawa, who played Hurricane Red, Hurricane Blue, Hurricane Yellow, and Kabuto Raijer, respectively, announced plans for a 10th anniversary V-Cinema release, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger: 10 Years After. This was the first movie made to commemorate the anniversary of a single Sentai series. It was released directly to DVD and Blu-ray. Shout! Factory released Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: The Complete Series in North America on March 26, 2019.[2] This was the twelfth Super Sentai series released in North America. It joined Kamen Rider Ryuki.

Three misfit students at the Hayate Way’s Ninja Academy receive rigorous training from their sensei, Mugensai Hinata. When evil space ninjas called the Jakanja attack during the graduation ceremony, slaughtering most of the students, the three are the only survivors. The Jakanja serve a mysterious power hidden on Earth.

Mugensai, who turns himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers, and his daughter Oboro Hinata recruit the trio to become the legendary Hurricangers and battle the Jakanja. They are joined by the Gouraiger brothers of the Ikazuchi Way’s Ninja Academy, who were initially their enemies, and later by the mysterious Shurikenger. Shurikenger unites the two ninja groups to stop the Jakanja from acquiring the mysterious power.
