- "What? Your stance indicates aggression. Are you warriors of some invading tribe trying to take over Kyoto?"
- ―Katana to the Rangers when he meets them[src]
- "No! Kyoto is safe in this time with you and your tribe. I need to go back where I belong. Farewell."
- ―Katana's last words to Jack before he returns to the time portal back to his time.[src]
Katana is an alien whose ship crashed in Kyoto, Japan many years ago.
History[]
He crashed his ship on Earth, in Kyoto, Japan, where he was found by a Samurai who tended to his wounds and trained Katana to protect Kyoto from invaders, thus becoming the first alien Samurai.
160 years later, he is brought to the future through a time portal by Emperor Gruumm and is startled by the changes in Kyoto.
Broodwing convinces him that the Power Rangers are his enemies, but he battles Jack the Red Ranger and decides that he is an honorable fighter. Katana decides to return to the past through another time portal. 
TV STORY-Samurai (episode)
He is mentioned again in "Messenger Part 2" by Sky after he realized that the Omega Ranger had arrived around the time of their last encounter with him.

Abilities[]
- Strength: Although not really shown, being more of a refined swordsman than a brawler, Katana was able to block Jack's borrowed Shadow Saber with the back of his hand during their duel.
- Durability: Like his strength, this was not really shown but an energized slash from the Shadow Saber just split his helmet in half and did no significant damage.
- Swordsmanship: Katana is a master with his sword, being able to overpower all five Rangers and stop their weapons easily.
- Quick to The Draw: Katana is very quick to draw his sword, as shown by how he immediately went for his sword when Jack surprised him in the bamboo forest.
Weaknesses[]

Arsenal[]
- Katana: True to his name, Katana carries around a sword that's nearly as big as he is for combat.
- Energy Deflection: Katana can deflect energy away from his using his katana, as shown when he did this to the blasts from Sky's blaster.
- Surprisingly Shiny: Katana demonstrated this when he uses sunlight to blind Jack for a second time at the beginning of their duel.
- Sword of Kyoto: Katana's bizarrely named signature attack. He would make lightning strike in front of him which would charge up his sword with blue energy before unleashing a single blue slash down the centre of the screen. One strike took down all five unmorphed Rangers. During their second battle when they were all morphed.

Notes[]
- Alongside T-Top and General Benaag, Katana is one of the only three aliens in S.P.D. to be considered not guilty by the judgement scanner.
- Out of the three, Katana is the only one who is truly innocent (he never committed any crimes) and was never arrested, as the other two were considered guilty and arrested for other crimes.
