Noppera-bo (ノッペラボウ Nopperabō, 39 & 53) is a faceless blue creature that looks like a lump of gray and blue clay.
History[]
He first appeared attacking people until the Kakurangers arrived and battled him, destroyed by the Shark Drive attack. He was able to reform his body with the Dorodoros sewing his pieces in tight as he was given upgrades by Daimaou: The arm-mounted NopperaMachine Gun, the concealed-kneecap Noppera Missile, and the shoulder-mounted NopperaRifle. Sasuke defeated Nopperabou with Kakuremaru and Hikarimaru, destroying him again in God, Battle and Red Saruder. Next, the Yokai quickly reformed with Ninjaman joining the fray while Super Kakure Daishogun was being formed. Noppera-bo was broken into pieces again by the Tekken Flying Finish, but then once again quickly reformed. Then, Noppera-bo's stomach was absent due to Samuraiman keeping the absent piece trapped under his foot. Without that one piece, Nopperabou could no longer reform completely and thus could be destroyed for good. He was killed by Samuraiman and Super Kakure Daishogun.

Noppera-bo reappeared, along with all the other defeated Yokai, within the Seal Door after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
