Yokai (Ninninger)

This article is about a group of monsters in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger.

The Youkai (妖怪, Yōkai) are supernaturally-created creatures made for use within the Kibaoni Army Corps as sowers of discord and destruction for the gathering of the "Power of Fear". Each is born when the darkness of any of the 48 corrupted Sealing Shuriken (封印の手裏剣, Fūin no Shuriken), originally used by the Last Ninja Yoshitaka Igasaki to seal Gengetsu Kibaoni, infuses an inanimate object. They are assisted by the Hitokarage.

There are some unique Youkai, created and summoned by special Yo Shuriken, called Giant Youkai (巨大妖怪, Kyodai Yōkai) that are naturally/already giant.Infusing two corrupted Sealing Shurikens on an inanimate object creates Advanced Yokai (上級妖怪 Jōkyū Youkai),that are more powerful than the Youkai that only been infused a corrupted Sealing Shuriken.
