- "Full Speed, Non-Stop? What are you talking about? (全力全開？何だそれ？ Zenryoku Zenkai? Nanda sore?)"
- ―Kaito after hearing Haruka say his original counterpart's catchphrase[src]
- "I was born a hero. I fight as a hero. I will always be a hero. (俺はヒーローとして生まれ、ヒーローとして戦い、ヒーローであり続ける者 Ore wa hīrō to shite umare, hīrō to shite tatakai, hīrōdeari tsudzukeru mono.)"
- ―Kaito's proclamation of his heroic duty.[src]
- "Secret Power Black! Zenkaizer Black! (秘密のパワーブラック, ゼンカイザーブラック! Himitsu no Pawā Burakku! Zenkaizā Burakku!)"
- ―Zenkaizer Black's Roll Call[src]
Kaito Goshikida (五色田 介人 Goshikida Kaito) is the mysterious administrator of the Donbrothers who acts as the master of Cafe Donbura. He is the eternal "true hero" of his world, transforming into Zenkaizer Black (ゼンカイザーブラック Zenkaizā Burakku).[1]
History[]
Background[]
Alluding to his past history with the Zenkaigers, Kaito claims to be a true hero who has fought for a very, very long time. At some point in time, he had become acquainted with the real Santa Claus as fellow heroes.
Present Day[]
Kaito silently watched as Haruka Kitou at Donbura somehow obtained a mysterious pair of yellow sunglasses. Later, when Kishiryuki enlarged into Kishiryuking, Kaito as Zenkaizer Black summoned JuranTyranno and let it combine with Don Momotaro's Superbike Enya Rideon into DonZenkaiOh to battle the giant monster. Once Kishiryuking was defeated, the Ryusoulger Gear fell off his body into Kaito's hand and he put it in his Zenkai Buckle.

Later, he employed Haruka as a part-time waitress at the café and started reading her manga. Kaito allowed Shinichi Saruhara to pay for his order by reciting a poem instead of money. He silently listened to the conservation between Haruka and Jin Momoi. After Resshaking was defeated, Kaito as Zenkaizer Black obtained the ToQger Avataro Gear and put it in his buckle.

Kaito later granted Haruka some time off to become a deliveryman. When Kaitouki was apparently murdered by Sononi and the Lupinranger Avataro Gear appeared in front of him at the café, he commented that this was not what he was expecting.

Personality[]
Unlike his original counterpart, this version of Kaito displays an aloof attitude and is generally adamant towards whatever he does when transformed, being a well established business owner. However, he does have a number of quirks, letting Shinichi leave without paying after accepting his haiku. He also still reads First Love Hero, despite the negative light that has been cast on it. He also does not recognize the catchphrase "Zenryoku Zenkai!" when Haruka shouts it in front of him. When Haruka asks him about why he can transform into Zenkaizer Black, he avoids her questions by immediately changing subject.
He only acts when it comes to worse case scenarios such as fighting against Tokumeiki (when most of the Donbrothers couldn't at the time), carrying out Taro's surgery and eventual revival, as well as having to talk to Jin about a solution for the accidental release of DonKiller.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Like the original, this version of Kaito Goshikida is portrayed by Kiita Komagine (駒木根 葵汰 Komagine Kiita). Like his Zenkaiger counterpart, Zenkaizer Black's suit actor is Masashi Takada (高田 将司 Takada Masashi), who also portrayed Kiji Brother in close up shots and motion capture.
Design[]
- Zenkaizer Black retains much of the original Zenkaizer's white colors, but with much of the gold save for his helmet crest replaced with silver, black instead of the original suit's red, and various shades of grey replacing the other colors save for his helmet visor.
Etymology[]
- Zenkaizer Black is named for being a monochromatic version of Zenkaizer.
Notes[]
- While developing his character, Shin-ichiro Shirakura proposed that Kaito would return as a "coffee shop manager". Head writer Toshiki Inoue had not watched Zenkaiger prior to writing Donbrothers and was prohibited from viewing the series so that he could write the character more freely.[2]
- Kiita Komagine was influenced by the bartender portrayed by Yoji Tanaka in the drama HERO for this portrayal for Kaito.[3]
- The transformation scene is identical to the regular Zenkaizer, but with monochromatic colors to match Zenkaizer Black’s color scheme.
