Oboroguruma (オボログルマ 3, 12 & 53) is an oxen cart Yokai who evolved into a taxi in modern times.
History[]
Posing as a taxicar driver (運転手 untenshu), Oboroguruma is one of Azukiarai's flunkies and is motivated to help him due to the abuse he suffered from humans over the years. He was chasing a guy for not paying the fare when attacked by the Kakurangers before being saved by Jiraiya and believing there were still humans who respected his kind. But once learning that Jiraiya used him to gain the scrolls, Oborogurma personally sought to kill him until Jiraiya became Ninja Black. Oboroguruma then decided to destroy the entire city in rage, overpowering Red Saruder until Ninja Black obtained the other scrolls with the Juusho destroying Oboroguruma with the "Vacuum Hurricane".
