"Crimson lightning. Horned Ninja, KabutoRaiger! (深紅の稲妻。角忍、カブトライジャー! Shinku no inazuma. Tsunonin, KabutoRaijā!)"
―KabutoRaiger's roll call[src]

Ikkou Kasumi (霞 一甲 Kasumi Ikkō) is Horned Ninja KabutoRaiger (角忍カブトライジャー Tsunonin Kabuto Raijā) of the Gouraigers, and later the Hurricanegers. The older Kasumi brother, his original goal was to raise Ikazuchi as the greatest Ninja school using the Evil Will.

Ikkou is 25 years old at the time of his first appearance in Hurricaneger.

History[]

Hurricaneger[]

Learning of the method his father intended, Ikkou ingested the Girigiri gas to go insane so Isshuu Kasumi could kill him, but Ikkou eventually regains his sanity and refuses to obtain the Evil Will like that.

After joining forces with the Hurricanegers and getting a job as a construction worker with Isshu, Ikkou decided to abandon his previous dream and decided the Gouraigers new mission is to support the Hurricanegers from the darkness.

He develops a friendly rivalry with Yousuke Shiina later in the series as the second-in-command, as well as gain a mortal enemy in Third Spear, Manmaruba, who implanted a Space Scorpion egg in the man's body for using him to get into Space Ninja Group Jakanja's ranks.

He attempted to have the egg removed from his body with Yuusaku Ramon's aid in secret, even from Isshu. However, Ramon could only hinder the hatching until Manmaruba's Mind Wave made it beyond Ramon's skills.

Though told a cure may be found in Tibet, Ikkou refused to leave and it nearly killed him as a result if it wasn't for Yousuke nearly killing himself to provide an antidote. Tvicon TV STORY-Scroll 28: The Hurrier and The Counterattack Ikkou would later defeat Manmaruba soon after the Fangerus crisis. Tvicon TV STORY-Scroll 33: The Mammoth and The Six Ninja

Imitations[]

A copy of KabutoRaiger was created by Madogi as part of the Fake Rangers. Madogi of the Phantom Beast Corps created evil duplicates of the Earth Ninja to draw out the real ones as part of Sandaaru's plan to trap them to lure out Gozen to destroy the barrier he made with the Raging Arrow medal. Though the the fakes were destroyed after this, this was part of Sandaaru's plan to take control of the Hurricaneger, Gouraiger, as well as Shurikenger with special collars to force Gozen to feel sadness so he could remove the Grieving Bow medal she possessed from within her body.

Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger[]

Ikkou, Yousuke, and Kouta witnessed the destruction of Gouraijin and Senpuujin by AbareMax and AbarenOh after they were taken over by Wendinu and Furabiijo to steal releash the seal which incapacitate the mixed Jakanja and Evolian named Janilga. Yousuke furious to Abarangers because being stopped when they were called back to Dino Curry Restaurant and must taking them too. Ikkou calmly asked Yousuke to calm down and discussed about how their robo could be hijacked with Kouta. They planned to meet Oboro for asking, only to have her suddenly came to the restaurant with bringing the map to the spot, revealing that Oboro didn't watch over on Senpuujin and Gouraijin, much to their annoyance. Not for long, even Mugensai came in form of hamster and almost killed because being thought of mouse and turning back to human before he was hit. Mugensai explained to Abarangers, Yousuke, Kouta, and Ikkou that they were facing an evolian which has once possessed by a Jakanja, turning it into ultimate Jakanja but sealed during his prime. Soon, the team left when Janilga was making a mess with his three clones.

Ikkou teamed up with Asuka to face one of his clone but got their transformation devices to be sealed, giving them hard time to fight until Isshu came for help from Mexico. Despite Isshu's transformation device got sealed too, they were still winning the fight and thus releashing the seal and able to transform later.

After the team reunited, Janilga revealed that his clones are for buying time for the team so he could have his power fully returned. Right at the same time, Mikoto alongside his aids came to join the fray to defeat Abarangers, Hurricangers, and Gouraigers. Ikkou soon faced on Mikoto and later winning with Ninpou Maboroshi Kabuto, smashing Mikoto as AbareKiller. Janilga soon defeated and turned big, also aided with KillerOh. Joining the battle, Ikkou, Isshu, and Hurricangers were defeated by KillerOh's Death Stinger because Senpuujin and Gouraijin were yet received full reparation. As things got helpless, suddenly they were rescued by Asuka with summoning RevolverMoth to help Abarangers. Next, Ikkou alongside Isshu and Hurricanegers gave their strength to upgrade AbarenOh, turning it into Gourai Senpuu AbarenOh with AbarenOh only wielded the golden version of Sword Slasher and helped Abarangers winning the battle.

At the farewell, Ikkou hand shake with Asuka before leaving and later hug Isshu alongside the teams because Isshu didn't get handshaking partner, much of his embarrassment. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger

Ranger Key[]

KabutoRaiger Ranger Key

The KabutoRaiger Ranger Key.

The KabutoRaiger Ranger Key (カブトライジャーレンジャーキー Kabuto Raijā Renjā Kī) is Ikkou Kasumi'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 KabutoRaiger Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as KabutoRaiger.

The Gouraiger 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. Splitting up, the puppet KabutoRaiger was defeated as part of a group of surviving Red warrior keys by Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red. Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

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

Usage[]




Notes[]

  • Ikkou is the first Crimson Ranger. This is to differentiate him from the main Red of Hurricaneger.
  • Ikkou and his brother Isshuu are the first Sentai heroes that have an insect theme.
  • In the Korean dub of Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, which aired in South Korea, his Ranger designation stays KabutoRaiger, unlike the Hurricangers and KuwagaRaiger who have a designation change.
