- "The party to celebrate Your Infernal Majesty's illustrious twelve hundredth birthday is being held tomorrow. I wanted to prepare a dance for the party! You have a beautiful dancer cheering you on morning and night, after all."
- ―Karakasa's first words[src]
- "Infernal Majesty!!"
- ―Karakasa's final words before her death[src]
Karakasa (カラカサ 37 & 53) is also known as the Chinese Umbrella Queen. She had a humanoid form as well as a fully-looking apparition form.
History
She captured Saizou and Seikai and forced them to dance with the Dorodoros. With a little help from Hakamenrou and Ninjaman her spell was broken. She grew with Daimaou, however, Super Muteki Shogun saw Daimaou off, while Kakure Daishogun and Samuraiman killed Karakasa off, prompting her soul to ascend to the sky and self-destruct. TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Paper Umbrella Dance Queen
Karakasa reappeared, along with all the other defeated Youkai, within the Seal Door after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Youkai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
Personality
She seems to be more comedic in nature than most other late season Yokai, but shows a sense of loyalty as well to Daimaou. Despite that, she has no qualms in manipulating children and serving their livers to Daimaou, showing that she's just as sadistic as her fellow Youkai.

Notes
- While never explicitly stated in the show itself, a sourcebook has revealed Karakasa to be the younger sister to Kasabake.
- Although Karakasa was not used in season three of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, her head (minus the umbrella on top) was later combined with Hate Master's body where this hybrid was seen in "Fire in Your Tank" as one of the monsters in Divatox's boot camp.
