Dogranio Yaboon (ドグラニオ・ヤーブン Doguranio Yābun), alternatively spelt Dogranio Yarbun, was a crime lord, the leader of Interdimensional Crime Group Gangler and the main antagonist of Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger. He was 1000 years old and had held his title as the leader of the group for over 500 years. He was also responsible for killing Arsène Lupin.
In the end, Dogranio Yaboon was incarcerated by the Global Special Police Organization Japan Branch in a maximum security prison. He was later broken out by his revived Gangler cohorts, but was soon defeated and destroyed for good.
History[]
With his followers, Dogranio Yaboon had personally seized the Lupin Collection, an assembly of immensely powerful items collected by the legendary thief Arsène Lupin, while killing the said thief in the process, leaving the wreckage behind for a horrified Noel.
Arriving in his mansion alongside his bodyguard Destra Majjo, he was wished a happy 999th birthday by his syndicate's members and medic Goche Ru Medou. Announcing his looking forward to retirement, he challenged his syndicate members to whoever conquered Earth first, shall become the new leader. TV STORY-Number 1: The Troublemaking Phantom Thieves

In a bid to succeed Dogranio, artist Namero Bacho used his sculpting power to transform a building into a statue of the Gangler boss. Dogranio abided this blatant act, explaining to Destra that the methods did not matter, only the result. Ultimately, however, the statue was destroyed having been caught in the crossfire as Namero was defeated by PatKaiser, leaving only the feet standing. TV STORY-Number 3: Take Them Back No Matter What
After the Gangler Rabroom Jaws had kidnapped several humans, Goche approached Dogranio to request that he purchase some for her experiments. He agreed, despite Destra's objections, saying that trades are a part of running a gang. TV STORY-Number 4: Unacceptable Relationship
Behind Dogranio's back, Destra had Bundorute Peggy pursue the Lupin Collection pieces possessed by the humans. When pressed by Goche, he vehemently denied that he could ever betray his master. TV STORY-Number 5: Targeted, the International Police
When Destra returned to the Back World, Dogranio questioned him on what he was doing. After Destra explained and informed him of his informant, Dogranio went and asked if it was Zamigo. After Destra confirmed it, Dogranio mused on how interesting it would be to make Zamigo his next successor. TV STORY-Number 6: What to Protect
Eventually, Dogranio finds Raimon and his gang having meals at his table, with Raimon sitting on Dogranio's chair. Destra was infuriated with Raimon's discourtness and forced him off the chair. Raimon smugly claimed the seat will be him sooner or later and question if Dogranio has objection against the former being the new successor. Instead of rejecting Raimon, Dogranio amusingly look forward to Raimon's action. TV STORY-Number 23: Status Gold
Upon witnessing Raimon's lackeys defeat and Raimon himself in the hands of both Sentai teams, Dogranio began to have doubts about retiring and decides to ponder. TV STORY-Number 25: Make it the Strongest
Downfall[]
After the defeat of Goche, Dogranio decided to take matters into his own hands. Using the Lupin Collection, the boss enlarged himself and caused massive destruction in the human world. He easily defeated the heroes' robots while revealing that his chains are absolutely unbreakable. Satisfied with this victory, Dogranio retreated and promised to come back later. TV STORY-Number 48: The Real Face Under The Mask
Next day, Dogranio was engaged by the Patrangers. Their battle crossed paths with the fight between Zamigo and the Lupinrangers. Zamigo requested the Gangler head to let him and the Lupinrangers fight in his safe. Amused, Dogranio agreed and opened his safe, sucking both sides into the dimension inside. Dogranio resumed his fight with the Patrangers. Even after realizing that Zamigo had lost, he remained confident that the Lupinrangers would be trapped forever. TV STORY-Number 50: Forever Adieu With the unimaginable powers of the Lupin Collection, Dogranio overwhelmed the police Rangers and were about to execute them. However, his powers suddenly disappeared as the Lupinrangers inside his safe were grabbing and transporting the treasure pieces away. Now weakened and powerless, Dogranio was easily subdued by the Patrangers, but still refused to release the Lupinrangers. He was arrested and incarcerated by the GSPO in a maximum security prison. Some time later, Dogranio suddenly felt his body hijacked by an unknown force, which forcefully made him open the safe and release the trapped thieves inside.

Death[]
Dogranio was later rescued by Goche and Destra, who were revived by Kazemi's Yesterday once again. Dogranio managed to take Magic Dial Fighter and put it in his safe. The Ganglers launched a full invasion of Earth and easily overpowered the heroes. Thanks to the cheers of the audience, the tide was turned, and Magic Dial Fighter inside his safe rendered his invincible chains useless. After having the treasure piece stolen, Dogranio and his generals were destroyed once and for all by the combined finishers from both Patrangers and Lupinrangers.

Personality[]
As the boss of the Gangler, Dogranio Yaboon enjoyed the crimes committed by his group, however, after 500 years as boss, he has started to feel bored with it. He is slightly laid back and easy-going but does not hesitate to dispose of any henchman disappointing him.
Despite being the boss of a crime syndicate, Dogranio has shown that he genuinely cares for those close to him. After Destra Majjo's death, Dogranio is seen mourning him silently in sadness alone, pouring a glass of wine for him, remarking that he was "one hell of a right-hand man". Despite that he has trusted Goche for a long time, Dogranio later betrays her when he uses Golden Safe to get all the Lupin Collection pieces she used from her and the Experimental Body.
Following a confession from Zamigo, he completely drops his usual boss persona, revealing he was disgusted by the younger thoughts on him, deciding to show the young upstarts that despite his age, he will rampage and cause as much chaos it take for him to be satisfied, showing the true tyrannical villain within.
