- "You have no match for the caveman's strength!"
- ―Koda's catchphrase during battle[src]
Koda is a caveman who became the Dino Charge Blue Ranger, the second member of the Dino Charge Rangers. He is also referred to as Blue Ranger and, in roll calls, as Stegosaurus Power Ranger Blue.
Being a caveman from out of his time who had found the Blue Energem, he outlived everyone from his time due to the fact that bonding with the Energem essentially granted him biological immortality.
Character History
One hundred thousand years ago, Koda had lived in jungle caves with his fellow Neanderthals, such as his younger brother Taku. The first to find an Energem, Koda achieved resistance to aging, enabling him to still live in the present time, outliving his family. Today, his caveman ways make him a fish-out-of-water ever since after he sacrificed himself saving his younger brother from a sabretooth tiger, causing him to fall into an ice-filled ocean, freezing him for 100,000 years.[1]
He was discovered some time after Kendall and Keeper found Chase Randall.
TV STORY-Past, Present and Fusion He currently works for the Amber Beach Dinosaur Museum as one of Kendall's assistants.
Personality
He eats with his fingers, doesn't like to wear shoes (though he'll usually wear sandals when he's outside of the base), and sees no benefit in combing his hair. He isn't the smartest Ranger, but he's got a heart of gold, is fiercely loyal, and is as strong as an ox. His survival instincts are sharper than any other Ranger. [2] At first, he was afraid of a lot of modern technology that he was unfamiliar with, including the Dino Cycles. He later overcame some of this fear and began learning to ride a tricycle.

Behind the Scenes
- As a caveman from 100,000 years ago, Koda is the oldest Ranger in the entire franchise, beating out Merrick Baliton from Power Rangers Wild Force.
- His favorite food is the Bronto Burger served at the Dino Bite Café.
- He is the first Blue Ranger on a dinosaur-themed team to not have a triceratops motif.
- Koda is the first Ranger who is in the process of learning English and does not have it as his first language. As such, he usually speaks English in a very simplistic diction, similar to Cookie Monster from Sesame Street.
- Yoshi Sudarso clarified in an interview with Asians on Film that Koda was indeed frozen by the Energem for 100,000 years.[3]. It was later confirmed in the episode Breaking Black.
- According to Koda, Fury attacked the cavemen to get the energem, but later we find out that Koda got frozen almost immediately after finding the energem.
