This article is about a villain in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger. |
Akyanba (アキャンバー Akyanbā) is one of the Vice Shogun of Space Shogunate Jark Matter. She is also the one responsible for manipulating and brainwashing Naga Ray into Hebitsukai Metal. She is the second female villain to be introduced in the series after Madakko.
History[]
She was first seen alongside her fellow Vice Shoguns Kukuruga and Tecchu assembling under Don Armage's orders and ordered them to eliminate Tsurugi Ohtori. TV STORY-Space.22: True Identity of the Legendary Savior TV STORY-Space.23: Become My Shield!
After the death of Tecchu at the hands of the Kyurangers, Don Armage finally summoned both Kukuruga and Akyanba herself to deal with the Kyurangers, which she noted will be fun messing with them. TV STORY-Space.25: Planet Toki, the Boy's Determination!
She then observed Naga Ray, the Hebitsukai Silver of the Kyurangers who was feeling down due to his lack of emotions. She decided to use this scheme against the Kyurangers. Invading the Kyurangers' barbecue ground flailed with a pair of Tsuyoindaver, she quickly dispatched Shishi Red, Chameleon Green, Houou Soldier (who noted she looked different and stronger than when she was in Tsurugi's period), Kajiki Yellow, and Hebitsukai Silver before revealing to him that she knew the reason why the people of Hebitsukai System abandon their emotions. She then offered him to released his emotions, which Naga thought before finally agreeing, though it also brainwashed him into her personal warrior Hebitsukai Metal. Unknown to the team of Stinger, Champ, Raptor 283, Shou Ronpo, Spada, and Tsurugi when they were enjoying their barbecue before she comes, it is revealed by Dave Red, that he and his team of Indavers, were sent by Akyanba to sabotage their journey into the past to find out the secret of Don Armage.

She was then seen accompanying Naga's onslaught on the city, before revealing that the only way to restore Naga is to hurt him so much, only to reveal that she's lying. TV STORY-Space.28: BN Thieves, Breakup...
Her past self was then seen, where she was seen lacking her future self's shorter skirt and her weapon was shorter, confirming Tsurugi's words about her looking different. She was finally defeated by the team of Shishi Red and Orion. TV STORY-Space.29: Orion, The Strongest Warrior
However, she was resurrected as a giant by Don Armage alongside Kukuruga and Tecchu, before she was defeated again by KyurenOh 01*02*05*08*09 and Gigant Houou. But, when the team returned to the future, she was still alive again alongside Kukuruga. TV STORY-Space.30: All Right! The Miraculous Kyutama
Death[]
- "I think... I really did unleash your emotions... Aren't you "glad"?"
- ―Akyanba's final words
Revealed to be the guise of the manager of idol Hoshi Minato, who is revealed to been possessed by Don Armage this whole time, she was later commanded by Don Armage to destroy the Kyurangers and regards her as useless. She was finally killed by the team of the good-powered Hebitsukai Metal, Washi Pink, Chameleon Green, Kajiki Yellow, and Tenbin Gold. TV STORY-Space.35: The Secret of the Universe's No.1 Idol
Recreation[]
Akyanba was evidently rebuilt by Jark Matter's scientist, as her body stood alongside Tecchu in his laboratory as Kukuruga was revived. TV STORY-Space.36: The Legend That Sleeps in Lucky's Homeworld
Akyachuuga[]
Akyanba was ultimately recreated by Doctor Anton as Akyachuuga (アキャチューガ Akyachūga), a fusion of herself and fellow Vice Shoguns Tecchu and Kukuruga. They were sent to the Minami Juuji System to defend planet Southern Cross's core against the Kyurangers but were finally destroyed by KyurenOh (01-02-03-05-11), RyuTeiOh (07-09-10), and Gigant Houou using Battle Orion Ship as a cannon. TV STORY-Space.42: My Father? The Universe? Lucky's Resolution
Personality[]
While she initially appeared as a bubbly, girlish woman who giggles a lot, she is actually quite powerful, able to defeat the team of Shishi Red, Hebitsukai Silver (who she later manipulated into joining forces with her and brainwashed), Houou Soldier (who had apparently met her 300 years ago), Kajiki Yellow, and Chameleon Green in her first fight with them. She also appears to be quite cunning, manipulative, and intelligent as well, able to manipulate Naga into joining forces with her and brainwashing him by promising to release his emotions, as she knew why the Hebitsukai people discarded their emotions and able to trick the Kyurangers into believing that a powerful pain will restore Naga back to normal.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Akyanba is voiced by Arisa Komiya (小宮 有紗 Komiya Arisa) who previously played Yoko Usami/Yellow Buster from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Her suit actor is Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi), who also portrayed both Eriedrone and Daikaan Mothma in episode 10 (and was coincidentally also the suit actor for Yellow Buster during Go-Busters)
Design[]
- Akyanba is designed by K-SuKe after the Acámbaro figures, archaeological artifacts found in Mexico in 1944 that supposedly resemble dinosaurs. Her dragon-like shoulder pads are based on the Greek monster Cetus.
Concept Art[]
Etymology[]
- Like her theme motif, Akyanba is named after the Acámbaro figurines.
- Her constellation name, alongside those of his fellow Vice Shoguns are related to the Greek figure Andromeda.
Notes[]
- The pattern of dots on her head and waist form the constellation Cassiopeia.
- Akyanba remains as the only Vice Shogun from Kyuranger to not be adapted for Power Rangers Cosmic Fury, but her role in brainwashing a Ranger goes to Doodrip. The reason being that according to Simon Bennett, same with Madakko, Akyanba’s design was deemed inappropriate and “too busty” for Power Rangers.
