Jiraiya (児雷也, Jiraiya) is one of five famous ninja. He is the ancestor of Jiraiya, NinjaBlack of the Kakurangers.

History

Long ago, during the Warring States period, Jiraiya fought alongside Saizo Kirigakure, Seikai Miyoshi, Sasuke Sarutobi, and Tsuruhime. They worked together to seal Nurarihyon behind the Door of Seals. After the scrolls to summon the Giant Beast Generals become lost, Jiraiya decides to leave Japan to go in search of them; this would lead to his line eventually ending up in America where his descendant would eventually come from when the Kakuranger must reunite to fight the Yokai in the modern days. TV STORY-Ep. 3: American Ninja

Hundreds of years later, his spirit, alongside the spirits of his allies, appeared before their modern day decsendents Sasuke, Saizo, and Tsuruhime after Sasuke and Saizo pulled their swords out of the earth. TV STORY-Ep. 1: We Are Ninja

He later appeared with his allies before Seikai, when he drew his sword. TV STORY-Ep. 2: A Dangerous Lady

Later, when his descendant Jiraiya was in danger, he and his allies appeared once again. The elder ninja gave his descendant his sword and Doronchanger, allowing him to become NinjaBlack, but not without some minor chastising. TV STORY-Ep. 3: American Ninja
