"The earth trembles, the flowers compose. Land Ninja Hurricane Yellow!"
Red: "The people don't realize…"

"Stealth Wind Squadron Hurricanger has appeared!"

Three Ninja Students who are the survivors of the Hayate's Way Ninja Academy.

• Yousuke Shiina/Hurricane Red (Harikenreddo): The leader of the team, though a bit dim-witted, Yousuke's courage and determination make up for his slow-thinking. He works at a window cleaning service.

• Nanami Nono/Hurricane Blue (Harikenburuu): The only female on the team, she dreams to become a popstar. She has a semi-crazed manager who books her for everything, but when emergencies occur Nanami has to take off. While cute, the others try to stay on her good side. It is later shown she has developed feelings for Ishuu Kasumi and likewise.

• Kouta Bitou/Hurricane Yellow (Harikenieroo): The other male of the team, he's a firm believer in planning. He has a younger sister called Meiko whom he cared for when their parents died in a car accident and they ended up in an orphanage. Because of his friendly nature, Kouta works at a daycare center.

Gouraiger

"Crimson lightning. Horned Ninja KabutoRaiger!"
"Azure thunderclap. Fanged Ninja KuwagaRaiger!"
Kabuto: "Facing the shadows, slicing the shadows…"
Kuwaga: "Facing the light, slicing the light!"
"Lightning-Fast Gouraiger revealed!"

Originally the enemies of the Hurricanger until they put their differences aside. In episode 9, it was revealed that the Jakanja had wiped out Ikazuchi's Way Ninja Academy as well, leaving the Kasumi Brothers as the only survivors. After allying themselves with the Hurricanger (they didn't officially join until the end of the series as the two could not forsake their teachings), the two got jobs as construction workers. "Gourai" means "Rumbling Thunder".

• Ikkou Kasumi/Kabuto Raiger: The older Brother, called the "Horned Ninja". He develops a friendly rivalry with Yousuke later in the series.

• Isshuu Kasumi/Kuwaga Raiger: The younger Brother, called the "Fanged Ninja". Later shown to have feelings for Nanami Nono.

Help

"The green light bullet! Sky Ninja Shurikenger!"

• Shurikenger: He was formerly known as Asuka Kagura, another student of Hayate's Way, but he mysteriously vanished. It would turn out he encountered Gozen, whom he devoted himself to as her personal fighter at the cost of his humanity, forced to remain in his costumed form permanantly. A somewhat comical figure, Shurikenger often used broken English phrases, including the famous "I am Ninja of Ninja!", and also often poorly mixed both Japanese -and- English into his sentences. At first he would often disguise himself as a 'regular' person, however he would revert to his true form with the Shuriken Ball device. Has the ability to transform into Shurikenger Fire Mode, a quicker and deeper voiced version of himself, when he removes his main chest armor and the top of his helmet is rotated. Shurikenger apparently died in the finale when he destroyed Tenkuujin in a kamikaze attack to kill Satorakura, however he returned (albeit very briefly) for the Abaranger vs. Hurricanger team-up.

• Sensei Mugensai Hinata: Ninja master of Hayate's Way Ninja Acdemy. He turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursers, but he forgot the word that that would restore him to normal. Eventually he returned to his human form in the finale. Briefly returned to human form in the movie by means of a kiss from Princess Raiina, but was forced back to a hamster when she left.

• Oboro Hinata: Mugansai's daughter, she provides the team's arsenal. Was shown working with Shurikenger to create "that flying thing", aka the Tri-Condor.

• Kakura/Lady Gozen: A 500-year old young-seeming woman whom Shurikenger protects. She's the reason both Ninja schools have similar Karakuri systems. She is the keeper of the mysterious SpearStone, which is in her forehead. The power of the SpearStone is the reason why Gozen's life has been prolonged, as it sustains her life. Gozen was later killed by Sandaaru, when he extracted the SpearStone from Gozen's body.

• Princess Raiina: Exlusive to the Hurricanger movie, she came from planet Asutoramu. Her race was known for having the gift of regeneration, thus why she was sought by the Shinobi Monkeys. Wanted Yuusuke as her bodyguard. Gave the Hurricanger Tri-Condor to allow them to form Tenraisenpuujin.

• Hyakujuu Sentai GaoRanger: While Yousuke, Kouta, and Nanami were fighting Genin Magerappa, they were attacked by, supposedly, the GaoRangers. But truthfully it was Manmaruba, Sargain, Furabijou, Satorakura, and Windenu who stole their G-Phones thanks to Chubouzu, the younger brother of Chuzubo, and gave them a masking device to make them look exactly like the GaoRangers in human form. He kiddnapped the GaoRangers and Tetomu, also Chubouzu brought in Tsue-Tsue and Yaibaiba to have revenge on them. The Gouraiger almost used the Double Gadget to destroy the fake GaoRangers, but the Hurricangers told them they were Senshi (Warriors) like them. In the end, the 'Gaorangers' wanted to fight with GaoKing (the Power Animals didn't know the rangers controlling them were fake), but thanks to the real GaoWhite, the Power Animals deformed and left the fake GaoRangers alone. GaoWhite told everyone that she escaped thanks to her friends and told them how they ended up like this. All the rangers then went back to Chubouzu's hideout to get back the rest of the team when they were stopped by the fake GaoRangers. Isshuu and Ikkou volunteered to stay to fend the fake rangers off. Shurikenger also came as well. The Hurricangers fight Chubouzu, also knocking a device and paralyzed the real GaoRangers. After a reunion and a word of thanks, the Gouraiger and Shuricanger are over whelmed. As everyone comes to help it is no use. But thanks to Shirogane, GaoSilver, came back just in time to help the others. He used his G-Brace Phone to call out to the Power Animals to return the G-Phones to the proper owners. After a major battle, Chubouzu grows and brings back a few old enemies that the Hurricanger recongize. When Chubouzu uses a team attack with the other monsters, GaoKing, GoraiSenpuujin, Tenkuujin, and GaoHunter Justice are badly damaged, especially GoraiSenpuujin, who loses one of its arms. GaoRed gets an idea from Gao Lion to combine GaoTiger and GaoShark with GoraiSenpuujin and use GaoElephant, sword & shield mode. Then Tenkuujin combines into GoraiSenpuujin after the Power Animals separate and finish Chubouzu with a team powered attack.

• Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger

Arsenal

• Shinobi Medals: The Hurricanger, Gouraiger, as well as Shurikenger each possess their own personal Shinobi Medal. Their standard uses for both the Hurricanger and Gouraiger are not only to be able to active their changers, but also for both teams to be able to combine their mecha.

• Shuriken's Bat: Shurikenger's personal weapon. Other than being used as a sword, it can also be used as a baseball bat. The Bat's special attack is where Shurikenger can hit a hoard of baseballs at his opponent. The Bat can also be placed into Tenkuujin to use as a control stick.

• Ninja Misen: This shamisen-like instrument is primarily used to summon and control Revolver Mammoth, by using a Shinobi Medal to play it. Originally Shurikenger could use it, but later in one of his disguises, he was able to teach the Hurricanger and Gouraiger to learn how to control Revolver Mammoth as well. Also with the Shuriken's Bat, Keitainincho Hayate Maru, or Ikazuchi Maru, it can be used as a gun based weapon.

Shinobi Machines

• Tenrai Senpuujin (天雷旋風神 Tenrai Senpūjin): Combination of Senpuujin, Goraijin and Tenkuujin with TriCondor. When Manmaruba became huge and ate the Goraiger, the Hurricanger went to save them. Gozen sent three new Karakuri Balls which formed TriConder, which enabled the combination of all six Shinobi Machines into TenraiSenpuujin. When the mecha's chest blades spin, they summon a destructive whirlwind called the Ultimate Storm attack, which lifts monsters into the sky and kills them. In the following episode TriConder's Shiobi medals are each shattered after its first fight as TenraiSenpuujin. The team wasn't able to use it for a while due to the conflict of mixing wind and thunder energy together, but Orobo was able to repair the medals by herself. When TenraiSenpuujin is used together with Revolver Mammoth it can create the Ultima Rainbow attack.
• * Gourai Senpuujin (轟雷旋風神 Gōrai Senpūjin): Combination of Senpuujin and Goraijin with FūraiMaru. Its finisher attack is the Rolling Thunder Hurricane and when GoraiSenpuujin is used with Revolver Mammoth the finisher attack is Hurricane Thunder Strike.

Can combine with Senpuujin to form Tenkuu Senpuujin (天空旋風神 Tenkū Senpūjin) or with Gouraijin to form Tenkuu Gouraijin (天空轟雷神 Tenkū Gōraijin). Through the TriCondor, Tenkuujin could combine with both Senpuujin and Gouraijin to form Tenrai Senpuujin and in the Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger Team-up movie Tenkuujin merged with Gourai Senpuujin to form Tenkuu Gourai Senpuujin (天空轟雷旋風神 Tenkū Gōrai Senpūjin), joining as the arm as it does with Senpuujin. Shurikenger once brought in two Tenkuujin, duplicates which could combine with the other machines so that they could combine with both Senpuujin and Goraijin simultaneously. They were piloted by Oboro's slave robots. In the finale, Tenkuujin was destroyed when Shurikenger sacrificed himself to kill Satorakura.

• Revolver Mammoth: A giant robotic mammoth that is called into battle by playing the Ninja Misen, it can supply a seemingly endless amount of Karakuri Balls. Gourai Senpuujin or Tenrai Senpuujin can also ride the Revolver Mammoth and combine attacks.

• Gourai Senpuujin Sword and Shield (轟雷旋風神ソードアンドシールド Gōrai Senpūjin Sōdo ando Shīrudo): Exclusive in the Hurricanger vs. Gaoranger Movie. After Chubouzu breaks off GoraiSenpuujin's right arm, the Gaorangers are able to combine GaoShark, GaoTiger, & GaoElephant with GoraiSenpuujin by replacing Gorai Stag as the arms to create this formation. It was only maintained for a short time, because the three Power Animals were too powerful for GoraiSenpuujin.

• The theme song to the series was sung by Takatori Hideaki.

• Whether intended or not, Shurikenger's "master of disguise" trait is reminiscent of Soukichi Banba (of JAKQ Dengeki Tai, played by Miyauchi Hiroshi), who also regularly disguised himself (one example of Banba's trait is when he disguised himself as a fisherman in JAKQ vs. GoRanger and showed up just when all hope of victory for justice seemed lost).

• The actors who play Shurikenger's (10) human forms all played sentai members at one point. This might be related to GaoRanger vs. Super-Sentai, in which five former sentai members are brought back for the big screen.

• Shurikenger's disguises include the previous actors for: MegaRed, MegaBlue, Red Racer, Blue Racer, FiveRed, TimeYellow, GoRed, ShishiRanger, OHRed and Battle Kenya/DenjiGreen. In addition, he also disguised himself as Yuusuke once, Ikkou once, and Kouta twice. Ayame, Kouta's grandmother brought back to life, was mistaken for Shurikenger, as was Wendinu in a human disguise by the boys (Nanami caught on right away).

• Before Shurikenger disguises himself as Detective Sasuke (Kunihiko Oshiba, also Date Kenta/MegaRed in Denji Sentai Megaranger), the real Sasuke hands out his business card. At the bottom, "Zubatto kaiketsu shimasu" (his business motto?) can be clearly seen. This is a direct nod to Kaiketsu Zubat, being part of the titular character's introduction phrase.

• During both sentai team ups (with both Gaoranger and Abaranger), Oboro would break the fourth wall and talk to the audience stating "This is, after all, a special." when something interesting in the mecha battles occurred. One was when the Shinobi Machines combined with the Power Animals creating GouraiSenpuujin Sword and Shield Mode and when Abarenoh managed to materialize a Karakuri Ball from Tyranno's mouth and unvieling a Gold Sword Slasher.
• *Hurricanger VS Gaoranger is the first Sentai team up movie to have the 6th members from both teams (GaoSilver and Shuricanger) show up. was the first in Power Rangers, however, to have all 12 characters show up (Titanium Ranger and Quantum Ranger). Hurricanger VS Gaoranger is also the 4th Sentai Crossover to have the complete rosters of both teams. The 1st being JAKQ VS Goranger (although Peggy Matsuyama (MomoRanger) was the only Goranger to show up out of costume), 2nd GoGoV VS Gingaman (Black Knight Hyuuga shows up, and GoGoV didn't have a 6th hero except for Beast-Demon Hunter Sieg and Sieg-Jeanne (Kyoko Hakase in Beast-Demon Hunter armour), non-canon exclusives from another movie), 3rd was Timeranger vs. GoGo-V (TimeFire was present).

• The helmets for the Hurricangers (and Goraigers) closely resemble the "Zubasuit" helmet from Kaiketsu Zubat in the way their goggles and faceplates open.

• The component Shinobi Machines for Senpuujin (Hurricane Hawk, Dolphin, Lion) resemble the component Live Machines from Choujuu Sentai Liveman (Jet Falcon, Land Lion, Aqua Dolphin), though the combined forms are different. The Gouraigers make a slight reference to the other two Livemen (Black Bison, Green Rhino), since the last were horned mammals, and the Gouraigers were horned beetles, in both cases one member with one horn and the other with two. The "three-component plus two-component" combined super robot formula is also the same, though, again, the actual form is very different. The villains also keep score, as they did in Liveman.

• During the series, Asuza Yamamoto (Furabijou) begins her relationship with Kyo Nobuo (Isshu/Kuwaga Raija). Actually, they are fiancées.

• All episode titles followed the scheme "(word/phrase) and (word/phrase)".
