Gekisou Sentai Carranger

"Fighting for traffic safety! Gekisou Sentai Ca-a-a-a-arranger!" (戦う交通安全！激走戦隊！カー～レンジャー！, Tatakau kotsu anzen! Gekisou Sentai! Caaaaaranger!)

The Carrangers consist of five employees at the 'Pegasus Auto Garage. Advertisements for the series show that the first kana in the Carangers' names spell "automobile" (「じ・ど・う・し・ゃ」（自動車）, "Ji・Do・U・Shi・Ya" (jidōsha)) in Japanese.

  • Kyousuke Jinnai (陣内 恭介, Jinnai Kyōsuke) / Red Racer (レッドレーサー, Reddo Rēsā) is 23 years old. He is a test driver at the Pegasus auto garage, normally only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. Kyousuke is originally insensitive enough to abandon his team because he wants to drive his boss's classic car. Soon, though, Kyousuke realized that he had a responsibility as Carranger leader and became very conscientious, although the role of leader sometimes gets to him and he is overwhelmed by the stress of being responsible for the team. He fell in love with Zonnette, although at first she only loves his Red Racer alter ego, and is eventually able to confess his love to her. He is a very brave, heroic man who was willing to risk his life to fight as Kyousuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.

Allies

Hazardians

Aliens from Planet Hazard, which was destroyed by the Bowzock prior to turning their attention to Earth.

  • Hazardian Dappu (ダップ, Dappu): One of the few survivors of planet Hazard, which was destroyed by the Bowzock. He is the keeper of the 'Kurumagic' (a pun on Kuruma (car) and Magic) power, which he gives to the five Pegasus employees. The Carrangers' power is dependent on their friendship with Dappu. Through about episode 18, he wore a cloak, until the events of that episode forced him into Earth-style clothes.
  • VRV Master (ＶＲＶマスター, Bui Aru Bui Masutā): Known as the "Lone Wolf of Space" (宇宙の一匹狼, Uchuu no ippiki ookami), he appeared suddenly while Dappu was in the hibernation that his race goes into. He gave the Carrangers the VRV Machines after the RV Robo had been stolen by Bowzock. It was later revealed that the VRV Master was Dappu's father. He was addicted to coffee milk, which was the reason why he wasn't in hibernation himself.

Signal Family

Robotic people from the Police Planet.

  • SignalMan (シグナルマン, Shigunaruman): An intergalactic robotic police officer assigned to Earth, and something of a Sixth Ranger figure. He is from the Police Planet, where he left behind his wife Sigue, and son Sigtarou. He can sometimes be more of a hindrance than a help to the Carrangers, because of his intense training in the rules of traffic. He briefly left Earth and returned to his homeworld to spend time with his family only to find that it was polluted by five-colored exhaust created by Exhaus to warp SignalMan's mind. Deceived that the Carrangers were behind it, he went back to Earth to perform police brutality on them, and sort of became the new leader of the Bowzock. Fortunately, the Carrangers managed to restore their friend to normal by tricking him into drinking natural mineral water. SignalMan can usually be seen operating from the Kobaan Base (コバーンベース, Kōban Bēsu), a small Police booth, which can be nearly everywhere in Japan (except places where people might actually pass it...).
    • Signal Weapon: Signizer (シグナイザー, Shigunaizā), SignalMan's badge, has three modes, a recording device, Police Baton Mode (ポリスバトンモード, Porisu Baton Mōdo), and Gun Mode (ガンモード, Gan Mōdo), in which form he usually shoots enemies in the knees to incapacitate them without using lethal force. It can also call the PoliSpeeder.
  • Sigue (イグエ, Shigue): SignalMan's wife, from whom he is separated.
  • Sigtarou (シグタロウ, Shigutarō): SignalMan's son, who got sick from the five-colored exhaust created by Exhaus, but soon got well by also drinking natural mineral water.

Tenma Family

A family involved in the Carrangers' lives. The father is the owner of the Pegasus Garage where the gang works, and his son befriended Signalman.

  • Souichirou Tenma (天馬 総一郎, Tenma Sōichirō): Owner of the Pegasus Garage.
  • Yoshie Tenma (天馬 良江, Tenma Yoshie): Souichirou's wife.
  • Ichitarou Tenma (天馬 市太郎, Tenma Ichitarō): Souichirou's son, who is close friends with SignalMan.

Others

"Dreamy traffic safety! Gekisou Shoujo White Racer!"

  • Radietta Fanbelt (ラジエッタ・ファンベルト, Rajietta Fanberuto) / White Racer (ホワイトレーサー, Howaito Rēsā): The younger sister of Zonnette, and a huge Carranger fan. With magic, she dons an outfit modeled after the Carrangers (to the point of having the number six as an identifier) and calls herself "White Racer". She drives the Radiacar which can become a robot, but for only one minute. First aided Carrangers against the Zokurangers, able to shapeshift. Calls Red Racer "big brother" because of his love for Zonnette. Transforms by saying "Tiramisu, konjac, mille-feuille".
    • Weapon: Riddle Bombs (謎々爆弾, Nazonazo Bakudan), Volleyball-sized explosives that detonate if the enemy who catches it does not know the answer to White Racer's riddles.
  • Speed King Max (スピード王マックス, Supīdo Ō Makkusu) (9): The "Speed King of Space", who was brainwashed/deformed by a super-soaker created by Grotch. Since then, he became KK Esu (クークーエス, Kū Kū Esu) the Bowzock's best dish washer. He could blast lasers from his oversized eye and create an ear-piercing "squeaky clean" hurricane. Once he returned to his original self, he died protecting Dappu from Zelmonda.
  • Chouriki Sentai Ohranger: First met by Jinnai when Hoshino and Yokkaichi found and cornered Bara Mobile, the last known Machine-Beast. After Bara Mobile shows his injuries to Jinnai, he believed that Bara Moblie was the victim and that, as long as he is not a Bowzock, he is not an enemy. This upsets the OHRangers at first and they begin to battle against the Carrangers as Red Racer tries to take Bara Mobile to safety. After a few explanations, Red Racer realizes his mistake as Bara Mobile explained why the OHRangers were after him. But Hoshino was kidnapped, and the Carrangers were put through a military training course by Miura. The reason at first he did this was that he believed the Carrangers were not serious in their work, much to Jinnai's embarrassment on his team's part when they thought Miura was joking. Miura soon after the training believed the Carrangers are ready to help, he sends them in OHRangerRobo to the Bowzock base to rescue OHRed. After the rescue, the OHRangers and Carrangers, along with SignalMan, finally kill Bara Mobile, SS Statanzo, and the Norishiron Extra. Both teams then celebrated at the end of the day.

Villains

  • Reckless Dash Emperor Exhaus (暴走皇帝エグゾス, Bōsōgōtei Eguzosu) (35-48): He is the true villain of the series who hired the Bowzock to do his dirty work. His ultimate plan was to build a giant road for aliens across the Milky Way, and to destroy Earth because it was in the way of the road. Exhaus kidnapped Dappu and tried to drain his Kurumagic Power to use for his own robots, turning it into Akumagic Power, but his plan backfired when Dappu overloaded the robots with power. He betrayed the Bowzock and took over the operation personally, only to fight the Carrangers personally when he absorbed the evil energies of the entire universe into his body to assume a fighting form, Exhaus Super-Strong (エグゾス・スーパーストロング, Eguzosu Sūpā Sutorongu). In this form he seemed unbeatable, destroying both VRV Robo and RV Robo, but was fed stale imo-youkan by Gynamo, causing him to weaken and shrink to human size so he could be finished off by the Carrangers.
  • Space Bōsōzoku Bowzock (宇宙暴走族ボーゾック, Uchū Bōsōzoku Bōzokku): An intergalactic biker gang with no love for the rules of traffic. Hired by Exhaus to pave the way for his highway by, blowing every planet in the way of construction. They have targeted Earth, the last of such planets, for destruction and frequently hang out at the BB Saloon, a bar in the Baribarian spacecraft. After he had absorbed the Carrangers' Carmagic Power, Exhaus set the Baribarian spacecraft on fire and sent it crashing to Earth, only to have it stopped by Sirender and the Carranger in human form take control of it and drove it straight into Exhaus to try and kill him.
    • President Gynamo (総長ガイナモ, Sōchō Gainamo): Leader of the Bowzock, and is madly in love with Zonnette. At the end of the series, he re-opened the fried-meats restaurant that he set up while Ritchiker took over the Bowzock.
    • Beauty Zonnette (美女ゾンネット, Bijo Zonnetto) (1-45, 48): A buxom member of Bowzock who uses her feminine wiles, and Gynamo's crush on her, for her own selfish pleasures. Zonnette drives a pink convertible called the Zonnecar. She fell madly in love with Red Racer after seeing him in action. As time passed she also fell for the man behind the mask. She is RadiaTta's big sister and the princess OF another planet. At the end of the series, she becomes "purified" and resumed her true-form, Vanity Mirror Fanbelt (バニティーミラー・ファンベルト, Banitī Mirā Fanberuto), returning to her home planet for an arranged marriage, though she turns them all down since Red Racer is still in her heart. She returned during the finale and talked Gynamo into teaming up with the Carrangers.
    • Instructor Ritchhiker (リッチハイカー教授, Ritchihaikā Kyōju) (16-31): Briefly hired by Gynamo as his "Evil Director of Human Resources". Ritchhiker served as the mastermind who devised the plans to deal with the Carrangers and SignalMan, who was apparently an old enemy of Ritchhiker's. He was struck by lightning during the Bowzock festival and gained a second form to go with his accidental power boost called RitchRitchhiker (リッチリッチハイカー, RitchiRitchihaikā). With his new power, he kicked out Gynamo and Zonette and took over as leader of the Bowzock. He piloted the Braking in both of its' forms to destroy the Carrangers, but only managed to capture RV Robo before Braking was finally destroyed by VRV Robo, going out in a blaze with its' pilot.
    • Deputy Leader Zelmoda (副長ゼルモダ, Fukuchō Zerumoda): Second in command of the Bowzock, and Gynamo's friend. His main weapon is a sword made up of playing cards. At the end of the series, he and Grotch help work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.
    • Inventor Grotch (発明家グラッチ, Hatsumeika Guratchi): Bowzock inventor. He is responsible for many of the weapons used by the Bowzock such as the Fattening Spray and Forgetfulness Water-Gun, as well as for picking the imo-youkan, used to make the Bowzock grow. He was the one who discovered the imo-youkan by accident when he once rebelled against the Bowzock, and tried to destroy the Carrangers himself while eating at an Imocho. Fortunately, the imo-youkan he ate had expired and wore off before either he or the Carrangers could do harm to each other. At the end of the series, he and Zelmoda helped work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.

(大銀河電撃科学暗黒剣・稲妻電撃プラズマサイバーオーロラ遠心重力スーパーサンダー..., Dai Ginga Dengeki Kagaku Ankoku Ken Inazuma Dengeki Purazuma Saibā Ōrora Enshin Jūryoku Sūpā Sandā...)), one that referred to several Sentai Robos' final sword attacks from previous series.

Gorotsuki

They are chosen to find and fight the Carrangers, based on their talents, and are Bowzock's "monster of the week." When defeated, most of them eat imo-youkan, a yellow cube-shaped food made from jellied sweet potatoes to grow. It has to be from one store, Imocho, for this to happen, otherwise they shrink. As Grotch found out, out-of-date Imo-youkan from Imocho only enlarges the consumer for a short while until he reverts back to original size. Gorotsuki had a habit of saying their names a lot, usually having them at the end of sentences.

  • BB Donpa (ビービードンパ, BīBī Donpa) (2, 9): Bowzock's music conductor. He could make cars fly around as if they were dancing, and planned to make so much noise that aliens would blow up the Earth.

He shrunk from eating a non-Imocho-brand Imo-youkan. Mogu stayed this way, until he and Grotch made their way to Imocho, buying enough Imo-youkan to turn the tiny Mogu into a giant. Mogu was reluctant to attack until Grotch talked Mogu into a enlarged feeding frenzy. Mogu was the first to be killed by the RV Robo, as he was too busy eating to see the final attack coming. "Moguu-moguu" is the sound of chewing.
  • QQ Kyuutan (キューキューキュータン, KyūKyū Kyūtan) (6): Bowzock's best searcher. Hired by Gynamo to find a necklace that Zonnette wanted (which turned out to be a bridge), in the hopes of winning her affections. In battle, he wields a giant battle staff with a magnifying glass on it. Killed by RV Robo.
  • NN Nerenko (ネーネーネレンコ, NēNē Nerenko) (7): Bowzock's best graffiti artist. Used Grotch's fattening spray to make objects explode, after becoming too fat. In battle, he can also blast lasers from the face on his helmet. Killed by RV Robo.

  • PP Rappa (パーパーラッパー, PāPā Rappā) (11): Bowzock's best number magician. Could play havoc with any numbers and used cardboard shapes of numbers that exploded. He was beatdown by an irate Pink Racer when she believed Rappa screwed up her scale with his magic and made her think she was fat. Killed by RV Robo.
  • UU Uurin (ウーウーウーリン, ŪŪ Ūrin) (12-13): Bowzock's best traffic light destroyer. A feral alien beast sent, by the Bowzock, to eat SignalMan, when he(SignalMan) arrived on Earth.

In battle, he could blast patchwork shaped lasers from his eyes as well as bind opponents with electrified fabric samples. Killed by the combined teamwork of Sirender & RV Robo.
  • OO Oopa (オーオーオーパ, ŌŌ Ōpa) (18): Bowzock's hot springs researcher.

  • HH Deeo (ヒューヒューデーオ, HyūHyū Dēo) (19): Bowzock's best pitcher. He resembled a baseball. Kyousuke was eventually able to hit one of his pitches, a curve ball, after some training. He could throw baseball shaped lasers in battle, yet he was only able to do this after being empowered by a kiss from Zonnette. Killed by RV Robo.
  • WW Waritcho (ワリワリワリッチョ, WariWari Waritcho) (20): Bowzock's best excavator. Fits the theme of a bird.

  • AA Abanba (アーアーアバンバ, ĀĀ Abanba) (21): Bowzock's best shaman. Could turn himself, others, and objects invisible. He was summoned to capture people on Earth so they could be used as sacrifices. The Bowzock wanted to feed these sacrifices to the "Evil God of Space" in order to bring them good luck. They believed this would stop their bad luck and give them an edge against the Carrangers. The girls invented the Carnavic, in order to track him down when he took the guys as sacrifices and became invisible. Wields a staff, which had the power to grant him his infamous invisibility. Killed by RV Robo, after Sirender destroyed his staff.

  • DD Donmo (ドードードンモ, DōDō Donmo) (26): Bowzock's best maniacal shopper, specifically over the phone. He used cellular phones on his wrists to order special weapons that were sent to him by missiles. He was killed by the new Booster Cannon. Apparently there were no imo-youkan in his favorite catalog, so he did not use/order any during his battle with the Carrangers, even though he needed to order some to keep himself alive longer.
  • XX Mileeno (クスクスミレーノ, KusuKusu Mirēno) (27): Bowzock's best pizza chef. An Italian Gorotsuki who wanted to make a "Carranger Pizza". Taking control of Pegasus Thunder and Dragon Cruiser, using special pizzas, Mireeno managed to fulfill his intention.

Killed by Sirender & RV Robo.
  • HH Wasshoishoi (ホイホイワッショイショイ, HoiHoi Wasshoihoi) (28): Bowzock's best festival coordinator. He had Zelmonda kidnap Ichitarou for the Bowzock Festival, using a conductor for the "evil-power lightning" so they could suck the evil (& life) out of the boy. However, due to a miscalucation, it was Ritchihiker who was hit by the lightning, which transformed him and gave him more power. Wasshoishoi was killed by Sirender.
  • ZZ Gyuuri (ヅケヅケギューリー, ZukeZuke Gyūri) (32): Bowzock's biggest lover of kimchi. He piloted the RV Robo when it came under Bowzock control, with a row of explosives strapped to it. While VRV Robo & RV Robo battled, Red Racer managed to sneak inside the RV Robo, and in one of the best-remembered scenes in the show, fought Gyuuri on top of the waist-mounted explosives (halting RV Robo in the process). Red Racer managed to send the monster hurtling to the ground before shooting the bomb off and knocking it onto him. Gyuuri survived somehow and enlarged himself. Killed by VRV Robo.
  • UU Ussu (ウスウスウッス, UsuUsu Ussu) (33): Bowzock who drank Gekibaka (Violent Idiot) drinks to become mindlessly powerful. He rode a motorcycle, which he also poured a Gekibaka drink into the gas tank. This caused the speed to increase and triggered a massive forest fire.

When he first appeared, he was cutting a turn in front of Kyousuke when he was attempting to buy some boxed lunches (bento) for the others.

This was also when SignalMan (who was drugged into being evil by the poisoned atmosphere of his planet) ambushed Kyuosuke too. Killed by VRV Robo.
  • BB Koiya (ブンブンコイヤ, BunBun Koiya) (36): Bowzock's best gardener. His best attack is sowing seeds onto his opponents that wrapped them in vines. These vines would sprout flowers that would attract Space Bees that sting them to death. After almost all of the bees were destroyed, Koiya gave his remaining Space Bee a piece of his Imo-youkan, which he ate some of as well. While the bee was killed by Sirender, Koiya was killed by VRV Robo.
  • PP Chiipuri (プリプリチープリ, PuriPuri Chīpuri) (38): Bowzock's best make-up artist. He was used to make the owner of Imocho young again with his youth cream. The owner thought he was getting old and was planning to close his store. Without imo-youkan from his store, Bowzocks couldn't grow to giant size anymore. SignalMan was also affected by the youth cream and temporarily became a child.

  • CC Patchoone (チャムチャムパッチョーネ, ChamuChamu Patchōne) (39): Bowzock's best animal trainer. He was sent to gain back the Beager, an alien resembling an Earth dog, that eats concrete.

Killed by VRV Robo.

Killed by VRV Robo.
  • EE Musubinofu (エンエンムスビノフ, EnEn Musubinofu) (45): Bowzock's best marriage master. Used by Zelmonda to cheer up his friend, Gynamo. His plan was to used this alien to force Zonette into marrying Gynamo through some sort of legality, and thus cheer up Gynamo. The plan backfired, and Zonette was purified soon after returning to her home planet. He could shoot arrows with a photograph in the middle, and whatever he hit (living or otherwise) fell in love with the subject of the picture. Killed by four of VRV Fighters (minus Fire Fighter) with the V Bazooka and V Vulcan.
  • Ballinger Z: This monster never appeared in the series, but it was seen in promotional pictures fighting the VRV Fighters. Had to be changed at the request of Dynamic Productions. This creature seems to the fit the theme of a grenade. Also, it bears a similarity to Mazinger Z, hence the suit from Dynamic Productions.

Goki-Chan

A breed of space cockroach that serve as guienapigs for Grotch's experiments, made human size via Imo-youkan. Only a few Goki-Chan that were altered by the experiments ended up fighting the Carrangers.

  • GG Goki-Chan (ゴーゴーゴキちゃん, GōGō Goki-chan) (5, 15): One was Bowzock's most powerful dancer, able to create earthquakes with his dancing using a special device. He was originally enlarged by Grotch's experiment with imo-yokan in Episode 5.
