FiveBlue Ranger Key

The FiveBlue Ranger Key.

The FiveBlue Ranger Key (ファイブブルーレンジャーキー Faibu Burū Renjā Kī) is Ken Hoshikawa'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 FiveBlue Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as FiveBlue.

The Fiveman keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The Fiveman keys were defeated by Super Gosei Yellow. Tvicon TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Ken received his key and became FiveBlue once more. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Notes[]

  • Although the character of Ken is the older brother to Fumiya (FiveBlack), his actor, Kei Sindachiya, is actually three years younger than Fumiya's actor Ryouhei Kobayashi.
  • His given name can be translated into "health/strength".
  • The symbol on Five Blue's helmet is shaped like a running man, which symbolizes Ken's occupation as a physical education teacher.
  • In the RPN-9 version, he is renamed as Ben.
  • In the TV5 version, he is voiced by Bobby Cruz.
  • In the opening sequence in the Philippine dub, the English translation of his actor, Kei Shindachiya, is mistakenly printed as "Ken Shindachiya."
