History

Gekiranger

He is a lazy prodigy who trained at the Beast Origin Village and mastered one of the oldest fighting styles in the Beast Arts: the karate-styled Fierce Beast Rhinoceros-Fist (激獣ライノセラス拳, Gekijū Rainoserasuken) as a way to get over the pain of losing his mother at a young age. Ken was originally to aid Ran Uzaki and Retsu Fukami, but he left to travel abroad since his GekiChangers were busted. Furthermore, he sold the Virtuous Beast Sword that Sha-Fu gave him for traveling money.

Using the SoZyuTo, he can summon and control Beast-Fist God SaiDain/Beast-Fist Giant God SaiDaiOh.

During the final battle, Ken, alongside the other Fierce Beast Fist users, including the Fist Sages, keep Long at bay until Jan Kandou, Ran, and Retsu return. He witnesses the three Gekirangers defeating Long and sealing his powers. After the battle is over, Ken returns to work at SCRTC Meisters. Jan meets up with Ken to say farewell one last time before setting off on his own journey.

Personality

Ken is a free spirit, not letting his own talents and family ties to the Fierce Beast-Fist be all he's known for. He can utilize the Fierce Ki Hard Diamond (激気研鑽, Geki Kensan), a genius technique in which he condenses his Fierce Ki into a diamond blade on his hand with which can cut through anything. However, his laziness and frequent complaining get in the way.

He eventually manifested Extreme Ki on Christmas Eve out of his passion for the holidays.

He frequently uses the word "Osu" (押忍, "Osu"), which is a term in karate meaning "patience with myself and others." He also uses "kenzan," an archaic Japanese word that means "Just arrived" and is also a pun on his name.

Ranger Key

GekiChopper Ranger Key

"Gekiranger!"

―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement^[src]

The GekiChopper Ranger Key (ゲキチョッパーレンジャーキー, Geki Choppā Renjā Kī) is Ken Hisatsu's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.

This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The GekiChopper Ranger Key was mainly used by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink), who used it to fight as GekiChopper.
