"Blue Mask!"
―Blue Mask's roll call[src]

Akira (アキラ) is Blue Mask [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Bluemask[1][2] (ブルーマスク Burū Masuku) of the Maskmen. He was scouted by Sanjuurou Sugata after seeing him using his double-sword technique in his everyday life. He has a habit of bringing apples, his favorite fruit, with him, which he usually drops carelessly.

History[]

Maskman[]

He is the youngest Maskman at 16 (40 in Gokaiger), a Chinese boxer, and a twin straight sword expert. His father died while he was young and he was an only child. He moved to Tokyo in order to perfect his martial arts ability and to join the Maskman. Akira unknowingly enters a Tube-rigged tournament. He wants to win to prove to his mother that he is successful in his chosen pursuit. Always cheerful, he loves apples and the idol Youko Minamino. In episode 44, he became the legendary Imperial Underground Fencer Unas after being possessed by the spirit of a swordsman of the Royal Underground Empire through the Yoroi Doggler, the Legendary Knight's Vassal. Unas was originally being summoned by some of the Royal Underground slaves of Tube in hopes that he would help set them free from Zeba's tyrannical rule. Seeing that Akira was the next Unas, Tube concluded that he is possibly from the Underground, or is somehow related to them, but the truth is that the underground slaves mistook Akira as an reincarnation of Unas when he saved a group of slaves earlier in the series.

Years later, Akira fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Blue Mask powers are later used by Joe Gibken via the Ranger Keys.

Blue Mask Ranger Key

The Blue Mask Ranger Key.

The Blue Mask [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Bluemask[1][2] Ranger Key (ブルーマスクレンジャーキー Burū Masuku Renjā Kī) is Akira's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.

This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Blue Mask Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as Blue Mask.

The Maskman keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The puppet Maskmen fired their Jet Cannon alongside the Changemen, Flashmen, Livemen, and Turborangers, only to be swiftly defeated by the individual finisher attacks of the Gokaigers and Goseigers as they emerged from the resulting fireball. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Akira received his key and became Blue Mask once more. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

The Blue Mask Ranger Key was donated to be used as part of the Super Sentai Derby Collosseum. The Blue Mask Ranger Key Clone participated in the Speed Showdown and fought against the Blue Fash Clone. Tvicon TV STORY-Kaizoku Sentai: Ten Gokaiger
