- "MegaBlack!"
- ―MegaBlack's roll call[src]
Kouichirou Endou (遠藤 耕一郎 Endō Kōichirō) is MegaBlack (メガブラック Mega Burakku), leader of the Megarangers.[1][2] He is 18 years old (19 as of Gingaman vs. Megaranger and 32 as for the Great Legend War in Gokaiger), and is the president of Moroboshi High School's Digital Research Club. He is described as "powerful, but a bit slow."
History[]
Megaranger[]
Kouichirou is the president of the "Digital Research Club" of Moroboshi High; he was one of four students (alongside fellow students Shun Namiki, Chisato Jogasaki and Miku Imamura) investigating strange occurrences and technology being created at the NASADA plant in connection to the works of I.N.E.T., unknowing that Kenta Date, a fellow student, had already been recruited for their research. When the Nejireija began their invasion pre-emptively, the four students and Kenta were all given Digitizers and the task of becoming Megarangers in order to battle the invaders from the twisted realm.
TV STORY-Ep. 1: Don't Let Them! The Twisted Invaders After the five became Megarangers, Kouichirou invited Kenta to join their club due to their current common connection, even though his grades are lacking. TV STORY-Ep. 3: For Real! A Huge Nezire Beast
A keen soccer player, Kouichirou is an overachiever who is always concerned about his schoolwork. He has a younger brother named Shinji, who also plays soccer.

Years later, Kouichirou fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The MegaBlack powers are later used by Don Dogoier via the Ranger Keys.

The MegaBlack Ranger Key (メガブラックレンジャーキー Mega Burakku Renjā Kī) is Kouichirou Endou'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 MegaBlack Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as MegaBlack.
