The Nosakamata (ノサカマタ) are monsters within the Sanzu River that are more powerful than the Nanashi Company, resembling tremendous, skull-like, eyeless, crocodilian heads on two legs, and can shoot fireballs from their mouths. There are also some Nosakamata known as the Ōnosakamata (大ノサカマタ), which are naturally born giant. Appearing in the Shinkenger movie are the Kusare Nosakamata (クサレノサカマタ), blue-skinned versions of the Nosakamata.
In Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, the Strengthened Nosakamata (強化ノサカマタ, Kyōka Nosakamata) and the Strengthened Ōnosakamata (強化大ノサカマタ, Kyōka Ōnosakamata) resemble black skinned Nosakamata and Ōnosakamata.
