Richard Brown

Richard Brown is an American who traveled to Japan to learn the ways of the samurai. When he was cured of Yamiororo's poison in Act 7 of Shinkenger, he had admired the Shinkengers, especially Ryuunosuke. After finding their hideout, the team organized training that should have driven him away, but Ryuunosuke saw how much Mr. Brown wanted to be a Samurai and took him under his wing, intending to turn him into a true Samurai. During his training, Ryuunosuke got word that the Ayakashi Hachouchin was attacking the city however Mr. Brown tagged along and, because of his interference, Hachouchin nearly defeated the Shinkengers before falling back into the Sanzu River. After the battle, Ryuunosuke finally realizes that Mr. Brown is a liability to himself and the team and tells him that he can no longer be his teacher. When Hachouchin resumes his attack, Mr. Brown turns up during the Shinkenger's roll call. Having misunderstood Ryuunosuke's words and believing that there is nothing else he needs to learn, Mr. Brown turns up as 'ShinkenBrown' and tries to lead the team into battle. However this obviously goes badly and he ends up being badly burned by Hachouchin's first attack. When the Shinkengers nearly get destroyed, Mr. Brown tells them never to give up, which revitalizes the fighting spirit they need to help them destroy Hachouchin with the Kajiki Five Rings Bullet and Tenku ShinkenOh. After the battle, Richard returns to his home country to spread the ways of the Samurai as the the Shinkengers bid him farewell having realized that, while Mr. Brown may not have the training, he does indeed have the heart of a true Samurai.
