The Kudaiters (クダイター Kudaitā) are the elite Kikainoid foot soldiers of the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo in Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger. They command groups of Kudakks, and, unlike them, are capable of speech.
History[]
The exact origins of the Kudakks are unknown, but their upgradable nature thanks to Izirude suggests that he is their creator.
Zenkaiger[]
The very first Kudaiter is seen in the series accompanying Mobile Commander Barashitara to the World of Zenkaizer which has avoided Tojitendo capture until now and Gege has convinced Great King Bokkowaus to launch a traditional invasion instead of just making it another Tojiru Gear in the usual fashion. Barashitara declares that this world belongs to the Tojitendo before sending his Kudakks in to attack and they are brutally efficient about it. The Kudaiter overlooks the Kudakk attack for Barashitara and tries to attack a group of citizens but a Kikaitopian named Juran stands up for them though they flee when he holds up a rock. Juran is depressed but the Kudaiter recognizes him as a regular Kikaitopian so tris to kill him but he escapes. The Kudaiter later accompanies Barashitara when he investigates several Kudakks being gunned down to reencounter Juran and a human man named Kaito Goshikida who gun down yet another Kudakk. They then henshin into Zenkaizer and Zenkai Juran respectively who easily wipe out the Kudakks with the help of past Sentai powers. However, Barashitara summons a Kudaitest before the Kudaiter goes into battle even as the Kudaitest starts wrecking buildings. Whilst Juran enlarges and becomes ZyuranTyranno to defeat the Kudaitest, Kaito takes on the Kudaiter who blocks several jump kicks with his staff but multiple leg sweeps and even a groin jab all miss and his leg gets smacked out from under him. When the Kudaiter tries to call foul because guns aren't supposed to be used in close quarters, Kaito points out that he's been demolishing a city before beating him back and running up the side of a wall to avoid a lightning blast and slaying the Kudaiter with his Grand Zenkai finisher.
TV STORY-No. 1-kai! The World of Kikai is Kikikaikai!
A Kudaiter leads an attack on Tokyo by some Kudakks only to be confronted by the Zenkaigers (now five members strong) and gets frustrated when the audience fawns over them due to it taking up time. The Kudaiter sends in his Kudakks but the Zenkaigers easily dispatch them whilst also showing off so the Kudaiter fires energy lasers when half of his group is wiped out but they are all deflected. They then easily dispatch the remaining Kudakks and pull off a MagiFairy MagiShoot like move involving smacking Kaito at the Kudaiter and slashing him on the way past whilst also blasting him.

After the death of Great King Bokkowaus and the defeat of God, the remaining Kudaiters are imprisoned in the Tojitendo’s prison cells and kept guard by the various Kikainoids they had previously imprisoned.

Personality[]
Unlike the Kudakks, the Kudaiters could speak and were extremely cruel and callous but extremely loyal to Barashitara, Irijude and especially Bokkowaus. Like the other members of the Tojitendo, the Kudaiters were shown to have an arrogant and "who cares?" attitude towards even other Kikaitopians; caring only about the fates of the Tojitendo.
