Samurai Squadron Shinkenger

The Samurai Sentai Shinkenger are a group of masked heroes who protect the Modern Provnce. While the rest of the world has presumably modernized, these heroes and their province retain lifestyles reminiscent of the ancient samurai of old. They are only one branch of a massive organization of heroes known as the Super Sentai, meaning that the Modern Province is only one part of a much larger world.

Members
There are six total members of the Shinkengers. The main five are encountered by Kamai during her stay, while the sixth member is only seen by Phayne during his dealings with the Kamen Riders.

Takeru Shiba
Takeru serves as Shinken Red, and the head of the clan household. Silent, detached, and no-nonsense, he and his vassals have a.....complicated.....friendship. Takeru was bred from birth to be a legendary samurai capable of defeating General Doukoku's Army as well as interstellar threats. As such, his mind mainly sticks to the mission; making getting to know him a chore within itself. Depspite his exterior apathy, he actually cares a lot for not only the world's denizens, but his fellow teammates, considering them family. The arrival of the Remnants has NOT helped matters, and has made him more determined than ever to combat the enemy. In battle, Takeru's Shinken power turns his blade into a sword that emanates Fire unto foes with every srike.

Ryunosuke Ikenami
Ryunosuke serves as Shinken Blue, and acts as the second-in-command. Like Takeru, Ryu prefers a no-nonsense approach to missions, often putting him at odds with the ever-bubbly Chiaki. He is by far the most subordinate of the team, often coming off as a zealot due to how strictly he defers to the Master-Vassal relationship expected of Samurai households. He tends to be the brainy guy of the team, and prefers strategy to action. In battle, his Shinken Power turns his sword into a bow with which he can pelt enemies from a distance with water-charged arrows. He is also a follower of Kabuki theater, and will verbally strike down anyone who deplores it.

Chiaki Tani
Chiaki serves as not only Shinken Green, but a foil to Takeru and Ryunosuke. Unlike the previous two serious fighters, Chiaki has a rather laid-back attitude, and often jokes and pulls pranks on his friends. This tends to garner ire from Ryunosuke, who sees him as little more than a jester. However, he has hidden depths and is a competent fighter despite being the least experienced of the team. He is learning to balance work and play slowly but surely. In battle, Chiaki's Shinken Power turns his blade into a spear alive with the powers of the forest, which he uses in conjunction with an evasive, tricky style to confuse his opponents. In the Dual Paths Universe, Chiaki also has Curative spells he will cast upon the team.

Mako Shiraishi
Mako is Shinken Pink, and is by far the most approachable of the main five. She has an extremely kind disposition, despite coming off as rather meek. She disdains fighting and prefers peace to war. However, she also notes the theat of Doukoku as well as the Remnants, and fights for the sake of normalcy. She has a great allignment towards children that stems from her own indifferent childhood. Unlike Ryu, who serves Takeru with little questioning, she is much more neutral towards his thinking. This makes her the second-most individualistic among the team, the first being Genta. She is also a notoriously terrible cook, to the point where the others sneak out of the household whenever she is in the kitchen. In battle, Mako's Shinekn Power transforms her blade into a massive bladed fan as freeflow as the Sky she is attuned with. In the Dual Paths universe, she also has protective spells, such as Protect and Shell, she will cast upon the team.

Kotoha Hanaori
Kotoha becomes Shinken Yellow. While she shares the compassionate traits of Pink, she has a rather powerful self-loathing due to being forced to replace her sister, who was supposed to be Shinken Yellow, but was struck ill. While she is adjusting to her newfound roles, she believes herself to be lower than her sister, something which every member of the team argues against. In battle Kotoha's Shinken Power transforms her blade into the land slicer, a four-bladed kunai that emphasizes reach over power. In the Dual Paths universe, she also has deblitative spells, such as Deprotect and Daze, to cast upon her enemies.

Genta Umenori
Genta becomes Shinken Gold, and serves as support for the team. Genta was a childhood friend of Takeru's. While Genta was forbidden from officially training due to lineage, Takeru secretly snuck the Ika Disc out of the Clan household and entrusted it to Genta. Wanting to train with his newfound power, Genta runs away from his parents and wandered the world, selling food to make his living. He trained with this power, eventually crafting a custom-made phone with which he could execute magical commands in conjunction with the Ika Disc, most notably, morphing into Shinken Gold. Genta is only encountered by Phayne briefly during his tenure with the Kamen Riders, and serves as a minor boss. In battle, Genta uses a reverse-grip dagger style and superior speed to overwhelm his opponents. In the Dual Paths universe, he also has access to basic offensive magic such as Blizzard and Thunder.
