Character History
He is the first human who had an adventure in outer space. He has left behind so many legends that are unwritable.

More than 300 years before the current Kyuranger team, he was initially a professor and has a lab facility under his name in Earth before being joined by the Orion team of Kyurangers. He alongside the Orion team defeated the previous Jark Matter. However, Tsurugi and the past team achievements and records were erased by the current Jark Matter and Don Armage, though some of the generals still recognize him and Don Armage was after him, which is his reasons of conquering Earth. Tsurugi was also responsible in the construction of Raptor 283, who developed some of her technology.

He is found in the Argo, and later awakened from his slumber by Lucky, Stinger, Champ and Kotaro Sakuma.

He attacked them in confusion until the team transforms, with Tsurugi recognize their status as Kyurangers. As they ask him how to use the Argo, he explains that the Argo was merely a vessel and that he was the key to defeating Jark Matter. He transforms into Houou Soldier for the first time after a century and easily destroys an entire fleet of Jark Matter's invasion ships, much to the main Kyuranger team's amazement. He left on his own after dealing with the fleet, revealing that he had the Hercules Kyutama.

He visits the current Kyuranger team, though he have to knock the window of the Orion ship to let him in. Much to his dismay in Earth, nobody knows him.

Personality
Possessing a huge level of pride in himself, Tsurugi regards himself as "the legendary savior", claiming all of his feats to be part of his so-called "legend". He also has a habit of saying 'My Word'. Despite his arrogant personality, he was quite intelligent, being able to use various tech easily due to his profession as a scientist in the past.
