History[]
Carranger[]
Kyosuke is a test driver at the Pegasus auto garage, normally only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. Until one day, his life is changed when Dapp comes to Earth and telling him and the other Pegasus workers that they are destined to be Gekiso Sentai Carranger. He and the others initially refuse (even after being forced), resulting Dapp fighting against Deputy Leader Zelmoda by himself and "died". This makes Kyosuke and his comrades determine to fight Bowzock as Carrangers.
In order to defeat HH Deo's powerful pitch, Kyosuke and the other Carrangers undergo Dapp's training to obtain a technique called 'Invisible Swing'. He ultimately manages to master it and save the city from HH Deo's Furious Fireball. TV STORY-Ep. 19: The Hit-And-Run Girl In Love!
Despite of his wish at Tanabata to be a great test driver, he does not have any quality to be one (such as when he played a mini go-kart for children at a park or when he let Naoki beat him 13 times on a racing arcade game). His fate changes when the two wild cars from Milky Way legend fall on Earth, not far from the place he and Naoki is. When the two Carrangers check the cars, Kyosuke sees WW Waritcho catching the blue wild car and Naoki. Feeling urged to save them, he tries to tame the red wild car. After the red car changes its heart and decide to fight alongside Kyosuke, they escape Naoki and the blue car and then cooperate to defeat WW Waritcho. After the battle, Red Racer calls the red car Pegasus Thunder. TV STORY-Ep. 20: Test Drive the Ultimate Famous Cars!!
Red Racer is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Yusuke Amamiya (Red Falcon) lectured Gaku Washio (GaoYellow) about the past Sentai sword experts, showing him that the true sword wasn't the sharpest, but the one that feeds on courage.
Years later, Kyosuke 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. He was seen alongside Riki Honoo during the fighting. After fighting against hundreds of Gomin and their Sugomin 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 Red Racer powers are later used by Captain Marvelous via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates AppearMOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Now More Road Safety[]
Kyosuke posing with the Gokaigers and children.
Sometime after the war, Kyosuke, now 38, dedicated his time to teaching children about the laws of road safety with improvised acting on his part, but to no avail. The children constantly ignored his lessons, often going off to other things. He eventually catches the eye of the Zangyack Empire when Barizorg discovers he was the man that interfered with Zaggai's mission. Insarn takes one look at Kyosuke and is immediately smitten by his looks. She enlists the help of Jealousto to capture the former Red Racer, which ultimately draws the attention of the Gokaigers, who were searching for a Sentai warrior connected to traffic safety.
He introduces himself to the group, hoping to enlist their talents in his acting troupe. The Gokaigers decline and flee from warrior, but only Don is caught by Kyosuke. When things don't go as planned, Insarn attempts to capture Kyosuke herself, eliciting a jealous reaction from Jealousto, who tries to kill Kyosuke. He is eventually saved from both Zangyack warriors when the Gokaigers use the Carranger Ranger Keys to fend off an enlarged Jealousto and Insarn realizes her "love" for Jealousto. In the end, Kyosuke manages to successfully teach the children about traffic safety when the Gokaigers agree to act as bickering traffic lights. TV STORY-Ep. 14: Now More Road Safety
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Gokaigers finally defeat the Zangyack invasion force on Earth and Ackdos Gill, Marvelous returned all of the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed Kyosuke and his team have their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Though he was seemingly erased alongside his team as a result of Asmodeus’ manipulations, he and, presumably, his corresponding team were restored back into existence once Touma Kamiyama had helped Shotaro regained his passion in drawing out the superheroes that he wants to draw out.
Kyosuke is originally a selfish jerk, insensitive enough to abandon his team because he wants to drive his boss' classic car.
Soon, though, Kyosuke realized that he had a responsibility as the Carranger leader and became very conscientious, although the role of leader sometimes gets to him and he is overwhelmed by the stress of being responsible for the team. Though unofficially the leader of the team from the start, he ends up taking the job more seriously after VRV Master suggested him as the leader in a letter he wrote before leaving Earth. Prior to then, the Carrangers had previously assumed their alien allies such as him, Dapp or Signalman as more leaders than one of their own, yet with all of them gone or unavailable, Kyosuke was forced to take up responsibility himself to lead the team accordingly, even if he became way too overexcited and energized to fight with the burden on his shoulders.

The Red Racer Ranger Key (レッドレーサーレンジャーキー,Reddo Rēsā Renjā Kī) is Kyosuke Jinnai'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 Red Racer Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as Red Racer. It was also used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), Don Dogoier (Gokai Green) and Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver) on one occasion each.
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Kyosuke received his key and became Red Racer once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Carranger Zyudenchi
The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池,Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池,Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.
The Legend Sentai Ressha (レジェンド戦隊レッシャー,Rejendo Sentai Ressha) are Ressha based on the Mecha, specifically those belonging to the Red heroes, of the ToQgers' preceding Super Sentai teams. They can form a unique combination of ToQ-Oh reminiscent of past Sentai Robos by switching with Red Ressha. The ToQChanger toy is shown to have sounds for Legend Ressha of all 37 previous Sentai.
The Carranger Ressha (カーレンジャーレッシャー,Kārenjā Ressha) appears as an SG Ressha.
The Carranger Gear (カーレンジャーギア,Kārenjā Gia) is one of many Sentai Gears used by the Zenkaigers to battle the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo. In particular, when used by a Zenkaiger’s Geartlinger, the Carranger Gear allows the user to dismantle any mechanical object with extreme speed.

The Dark Carranger Gear (カーレンジャーギア,Kārenjā Gia) is one of many Dark Sentai Gears used by Stacaesar. In particular, it can summon copies of the Carrangers and RV Robo.
Transformation: Allows the user access to the Red Racer form. When corrupted, it turns the user into Boso Red Racer.
Abilities: Stop (一時停止,Sutoppu) is the unique power of the Carranger Ring. When Shoko blew her whistle, it will freeze her target for a few moments. When she was corrupted into Boso Red Racer, Stop was powered up to being an indefinite period until Shoko lost her fight to GozyuTyranno.
In Gokaiger, when the Red Racer image appears in front of him, Kyosuke breaks the fourth wall and slaps the Red Racer image aside, getting Ahim's and Don's attention.
Although not his main Mech, Kyosuke was the first Sentai hero to utilize a Mech based on a fire truck (V-Fire).
Kyosuke's appearance in Gokaiger was the first physical appearance of a Sentai character prior to the 2000s series.
This was the first breaking of the original Gokaiger concepts for having only Sentai heroes from Gaoranger to Goseiger appearing in the series.
Kyosuke Jinnai is the only Carranger or Racer to have appeared untransformed in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
Kyosuke as Red Racer appears with his team in the video game Gekiso Sentai Carranger: Zenkai! Racer Senshi. The RV Mechas have been dismantled and their parts scattered all around, so it is up to the Carrangers to collect all the parts required to rebuild them, all the while fighting the Bowzock gang. The parts appear in the form of cogs and gears, and can only be obtained by striking various objects and killing off Wanpers along the way, among other forms (finding and getting an engine, for example, will give off ten parts). Each Mecha requires 50 parts to be rebuilt.
There are two possible endings depending on whether or not all five mecha were rebuilt. If they are, then the "good" ending is triggered. After Gynamo grows huge, RV Robo is formed and proceeds to battle Gynamo in the middle of the city. RV Robo than defeats Gynamo once and for all. If not, the "bad" ending will be triggered instead, where the Carranger are unable to form RV Robo. With no one to stop him, the Bowzock destroy Earth.
