Oumukade (オオムカデ, Ōmukade, 45 & 53) is a centipede/American football player-themed Yokai.

History

A giant centipede Yokai who battled with Ninjaman and the Kakurangers at the North Pole. In ancient times, he was huge. In modern times, he is clad in an American football player's armor and uniform. He can disguise himself to look like Santa Claus. His scheme was to put centipedes in children's Christmas presents, which would burrow into their skin and put them under his control. He planned to use the brainwashed kids to cause chaos and destruction. His presents were destroyed by Ninja Red. Killed by Samuraiman & Kakure Daishogun. TV STORY-Ep. 45: The Confused Santa

Oumukade 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 Youkai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!

Notes

• Oumukade, like most of the Kakuranger Yokai, is a modernization of an ancient Japanese mythological creature. In this case, the Omukade who traditionally appears as a giant man-eating centipede is reimagined as an American football player.
