Hit of the Tengu (天狗のヒッ斗（ト）, Tengu no Hitto) is a scorpion/tengu-themed member of the Earth Condemnation Group Yuumajuu.

History

Hit's main scheme involves the removal of laughter and comedy from the world, using a special gourd to capture anyone who laughs. During a comedy recital, he captures Moune among his victims, forcing the Goseiger to immediately go after him. As the Goseiger go down one by one, the serious Hyde ultimately discovers a weakness in order to stop the Yuumajuu: the gourd's ability sucks in anyone who laughs, including Hit himself. Initially training in comedy with Alata before he too becomes captured by Hit, Gosei Blue and Gosei Knight work together a routine which ultimately exposes the weakness of the gourd, opening it long enough for them to puncture it and save everyone trapped within. The Goseigers use their Super Goseiger forms to execute the Sky-Land-Sea Miracle Dynamic which, when combined with Gosei Knight's Knight Dynamic, destroyed Hit.

After being grown with Bibi Bugs, Hit uses his wings to blow a powerful wind against Gosei Great and Gosei Ground, but Hyde uses Seaick Gosei Great to wet Hit's wings to render them useless. Then, Hit is destroyed by Gosei Ground's Knight Drastic.
