Keukegen (ケウケゲン 3-6, Movie, 14, 34 & 53): A hairy Yokai with several masks sticking out from all over his body.
History[]
He entertained his fellow Yokai in the form of dancing girl. Posing as a quack doctor, Keukegen used his hairballs to make people ill upon eating them with Seikai being among the victims. His arsenal included explosive strands of hair, a katana, and a pair of scissors. He fought the Kakurangers and was almost defeated by the Beast General Fighters, were not for Gasha Skull's intervention, who beat him into becoming Prof. Yugami's test subject. Using the analysis of the Beast General Fighters, Prof. Yugami provided Keukegen with an arm-mounted blaster to inflict damage to the Beast General Fighters' light armored bodies. He also gave Keukegen a chain to hold all present mecha at bay. This was until the Beast General Fighter Battle Kumard came to the rescue and the Kakurangers bounded with the Beast General Fighters to increase their power, killing the Yokai with Fighter Crash. TV STORY-Ep. 14: I'm the Young Noble!!
Before his death, Keukegen was one of four potential Yokai husbands who Sunakake Babaa dreamed of marrying before turning to Daimaou himself after they were all killed by the Kakurangers. TV STORY-Ep. 34: The Bride's Sandy Hell!!
Keukegen reappeared, along with all the other defeated Yokai, within the Seal Door 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. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!

Here, he is depicted as a large Bigfoot-like creature decorated in masks resembling the ones used by witch doctors.
