- "The High-Up Adventurer! Bouken Blue!"
- ―Bouken Blue's roll call[src]
Souta Mogami (最上 蒼太 Mogami Sōta) is the High-Up Adventurer [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Noble Adventurer[1] Bouken Blue, alternatively Boukenblue[1][2][3][4][5] (高き冒険者ボウケンブルー Takaki Bōkensha Bōken Burū) of the Boukengers.
Souta is 23 years old at the beginning of Boukenger.[6]
History[]
Boukenger[]
Beginning[]
Called a "spy," Souta is the information expert of the team. He is also a specialist in personal computers and digital technology. In Task 1, when he hurt his hand punching a Karth in the chest with full force and discovered the healing factor that the Karths possess. He initially considered Masumi to be a thief and Masumi sometimes calls him an "ex-spy". TV STORY-Task. 1: The Heart of the Demon God
Past Revealed[]
In Task 3, his past is revealed. He is a former secret investigator and spy. Kazuma Yamatoni noted that he and Souta are the same since he used to do various missions to please himself. When Souta realized that his missions caused ever lasting pain to others, he quit being a spy and told Kazuma that they were not the same. TV STORY-Task. 3: The Champion's Blades
Imitations (Vril)[]
The Precious Vril took the form of Souta. After seizing data from Souta's laptop, Vril-Souta copied the Boukengers' forms, transforming into a clone of Bouken Blue, Vril Blue (ヴリルルー Vuriru Burū), after Souta attacked it to save Natsuki from it. Vril Blue then multiplied by the hundreds after it was blasted with the Dual Crasher, only to be immobilized by GoGo Mixer. However, Vril Blue and its copies merged to form a VERY obviously imperfect DaiBouken copy. Vril is terminated by DaiBouken Drill and Mixer's Bind Break. TV STORY-Task 8: The Treasure of Atlantis
The Dangerous Partner[]
Although Souta says he never hurts anyone, but in truth he had hurt many. which was revealed in Task 23. In this episode, Souta's old spy partner Yuji Toba was hired by Furious Demon God Gai and Grand Beast Rei to interrogate Souta for the whereabouts of the Precious warehouse. And even though Souta fought through Rei's mind reading ability, Yuji used the memories of Souta during his times as spy to hinder his mind defense. However in the end, Yuji helped Souta and the other Boukengers to defeat Gai and Rei's robot by setting off the bomb he placed in the robot. Furthermore, to much relief and annoyance to the Boukengers, the Precious warehouse was a fake. TV STORY-Task. 23: The Dangerous Partner
The Rainbow Cloth[]
In Task 38, a mysterious girl named Miyu claims to have been kissed and hugged by Souta and wants him to be with her. However, Souta doesn't remember even knowing her but she insists that he was very kind to her. It's later revealed that she is actually a cat which by means of a piece of "The Rainbow Cloth", transformed into a human in order to thank Souta for helping her fix her leg. In the same episode, Miyu as a cat, helps Souta and the Boukengers defeat Super Shizuka and afterwards, Souta adopts her as his pet cat. TV STORY-Task. 38: The Rainbow Cloth
Souta acts like a brotherly figure to Natsuki, and often considers her feelings even against Satoru's orders.
Imitations (Ouga)[]
A copy of Bouken Black was created by Ouga as part of the Evil Boukengers. TV STORY-Task. 40: The Western Ashu
Endgame[]
After encounter with Shizuka and Gekkou of Illusions, Souta found his treasure to be his friends.

Gokaiger[]
Legend War[]
A few years later, Souta fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders. Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them, he gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Zangyack Empire was defeated by the Gokaigers, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners which one can safely assume that Souta and his teammates have their powers again. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Akibaranger[]
Bouken Blue appears as part of the five-man Boukenger team alongside the other two Ludicrous Sentai, Dekaranger and Jetman, in Season Tsuu's alternate take on the events of the first season. The three official Sentai come to aid the Akibarangers in the final battle with the Stema Otsu Corporation. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Delusional War
The Boukengers, with Bouken Silver this time, later appeared with the now five official Sentai, transforming into their Ludicrous Power which combined with the others to form the Ludicrous Cannon Bazooka, which the Akibarangers used to destroy Kameari Alpaca. TV STORY-Ep. 10: Delusional Pillow Talk
Super Hero Taisen[]
Souta, alongside his team (Bouken Silver and Zubaan were absent), among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. During the final battle, he is seen with Clover King fighting Musca Worm. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Super Hero Taisen Z[]
The five-man Boukenger team was part of a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements led by Akarenger and Kamen Rider #1 that came to assist the Sentai and Riders of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.
After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, the Boukengers appeared standing on a cliff with all the other heroes who appeared to help, to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
Bouken Blue appeared with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai who collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Souta joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Refreshing Team, but didn’t get to participate in the competition because his team was eliminated after losing the first round against Flying Team.
Personality[]
Souta is always with a smile and his nature is gentle and polite. His persona as a gentleman brings himself to a fault when he fights against beautiful women—he can't help but go easy on them, especially Shizuka of the Wind whom he and Sakura Nishihori fight frequently.
Souta is a little cocky, as evidenced in Task 1 when he nearly ended up touching a fake Heart of Gordom, something that Natsuki Mamiya foresaw. TV STORY-Task. 1: The Heart of the Demon God

The Bouken Blue, alternatively Boukenblue[1][2][3][4][5] Ranger Key (ボウケンブルーレンジャーキー Bōken Burū Renjā Kī) is Souta Mogami's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
