Kamaitachi (カマイタチ, Kamaitachi, 35) is a weasel Yokai who could supposedly move at such a tremendous speed, it could create the illusion of duplicates/three of itself.

Character History

After being beat down by the Punishment Sailor Sisters, Kamaitachi was destroyed single handedly by Tsuruhime. Ep. 35: The Three Punishment Sisters

Though unseen, Kamaitachi's spirit presumably emerged within the Seal Door along with all the other defeated Yokai, after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. Final Ep.: Sealing!!

Notes

concept art

• Although Kamaitachi was unused in season three of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the right arm of his enlarged form was combined with a horned helmet-engraved head, a generic body, the silver-painted boots and armor parts of Master Kaku's final armored form (unused in MMPR Season 2), and the necklace of Gnarly Gnome to form Plague Patrol #2.
• As for story footage, the wedding footage was used in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 2 episode The Wedding.
• Reason for being unused for Power Rangers Season 3 or Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers for having to do with most of the footage involving the unmorphed Hananinjas and Sailor Punishment Sisters along with human forms.
• His motif is based off of a weasel and a ninja.

Behind the Scenes

• Kamaitachi, like most of the Kakuranger Yokai, is a modernization of an ancient Japanese mythological creature. In this case, the Kamaitachi who traditionally rode on wind storms to attack wanderers is depicted with an airplane/pilot motif.
