Past
Little is known about Ninjor's past. Ninjor is a powerful Ninja that knows many mysteries and secrets of the Morphin Grid thanks to the books written by the Morphin Masters which are stored within his temple. Using this knowledge, Ninjor learned about the Grid and the Power Coins were forged "to be used by those battling the evil forces of the universe." However, for over 10,000 years, this remained a myth as Zordon of Eltar and Alpha 5 just stumbled upon the Power Coins with a map to the Temple of Power hidden in the Desert of Despair.

The Ninjor Ranger Key.
The Ninjor Ranger Key is Ninjor’s personal Ranger Key. This key is exclusive to the Toyline. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. one of the Super Mega Rangers, into Ninjor.
MMAR Dino Charger
Ninjor is one of the heroes that represent the Alien Rangers for the MMAR Dino Charger, released as part of a special set of Dino Charger Power Packs. In the Alien Rangers' case, it featured the Red Aquitar Ranger, Ninjor, the Shogun Megazord, and the MMAR title. This Charger was paired with the Super Megaforce Dino Charger.
Behind the Scenes
Etymology
- Ninjor's name is derived from "ninja", which is a person skilled in the Japanese art of ninjutsu.
Design
- In his basic form, Ninjor's design is that of typical ninja in Japanese culture, with blue being his base color (a Japanese trope as opposed to the Western trope of all-black ninjas). He wears a rather Ranger-like helmet and on it is a stylized forehead protector or "hachigane". On his shoulders are standard ninja spaulders or "sode". On his forearms are vambraces ("kote") and on his fists gauntlets {"tekko"). He also wears stylized harem pants.
- When he transforms into his battle mode, his motif changes to that of a Samurai. He auto-morphs (like the Auto-Morphin Figures) changing his helmet to a Japanese warrior's helmet. His spaulders jut upwards like that of Samurai warriors, with a crest on his forehead ("wakidate"). His harem pants separate and drop to protect his knees and complete the armored warrior look, becoming greaves ("suneate").
- His sword and scabbard are intended to combine to resemble a "naginata"/javelin.
- While the "N" on his crests in both modes have been appropriated to suggest his name "Ninjor", in the original design, it really stood for "ninja" in reference to the source material - Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.
Portrayal
- Ninjor was voiced by Kim Strauss who gave a vocal tone reminiscent of the classic cartoon character Dudley Do-Right. For Street Fighter Showdown, Ninjor was voiced by Aaron Spurlock.
Hexagon
- Ninjor was planned to appear as one of many returning characters who would contribute to the story in Hexagon, the original plan for the season after Wild Force and adaptation of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger. As Hurricaneger was a ninja team, Amit Bhaumik suggested that the Hexagon Rangers' (Hurricanegers) powers would likely be derived from Ninjor. However, the Hexagon plan was scrapped when Power Rangers was bought by Disney and Hurricaneger became Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
Notes
- Ninjor was the first Power Rangers character to receive a toy in 3 Power Rangers lines. His first toy was as himself, in Mighty Morphin and was later repurposed as Ninjakon for Ninja Storm. Ninjakon would then be repurposed slightly for Power Rangers Jungle Fury.
