Swan Shiratori (白鳥 スワン Shiratori Suwan) (also known as DekaSwan (デカスワン Deka Suwan) of the S.P.D. and Dekarangers. She is nicknamed "Swan-san" (スワンさん Suwan-san) and is known as "The Immaculate Healing Star".
History[]
Dekaranger[]
She is Kruger's assistant from the Planet Chinyo. She's the one who provides the Dekarangers with their arsenal, and constantly amazes the others with her amazing intellect.
Swan can transform into DekaSwan. Although she says it is her policy to only do it once every four years, in Episode 49, she attempts to transform again when a Batsuroid breaks into her command center. TV STORY-Episode. 49: Devil's DekaBase It has been suggested that Doggie and Swan may be "more than just friends", but they both would hastily deny it.
Her surname, Shiratori, can also be read hakuchō, meaning swan. Her number is either 7, which is represented by the geometrical figure of a heptagon instead of a number, or 99, as the heptagon vaguely resembles the character for "white" (白 shiro), which is one stroke short of "100" (百 hyaku).

After the Clones were returned to their Ranger Key forms, the Key was quickly collected by Gai off-screen before Sally could collect it and it would be added to the Gokaigers Ranger Keys.

Ranger Key[]
- "Dekaranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The DekaSwan Ranger Key (デカスワンレンジャーキー Deka Suwan Renjā Kī) is Swan's personal Ranger Key and what became of her powers after she along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key, along with the other nine extra hero keys and the fifteen sixth ranger keys, were initally acquired by Basco ta Jolokia and later used by the Gokaigers. Like all of his Ranger Keys, Basco used his trumpet, the Rapparatta, to turn the DekaSwan key into a puppet to do his bidding. Basco united his nine remaining Ranger Keys, the Black Knight key being taken by the Gokaigers before hand, when he was confronted by Goro Hoshino (OhRed†). The Extra Heroes would then fight the Gokaigers again, who wished to take the Ohrangers' greater power rather than just be given it. DekaSwan and DekaMaster fought Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who fought as OhRed. The Extra Heroes were taken down by the Olé Bazooka. DekaSwan's key, along with the rest of the Extra Heroes was claimed by the Gokaigers.
While in the possession of the Gokaigers, the DekaSwan Ranger Key was used twice by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink).
- As part of an all-Extra Hero Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with two Dogormin. TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine
- With Joe (DekaMaster) while fighting Zatsurig of the Imperial Guard. TV STORY-Ep. 41: Something I Don't Want to Lose
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Swan received her key and became DekaSwan once more.
Usage[]
Notes[]
- "Shiratori" (Swan's family name) and "Chinyo" (the name of her home planet) are other names for "swan" in Japanese and Italian, respectively.
- It is often debated on whether she is a White Ranger or Orange Ranger. Her Ranger Key appears to be white but as there is no “white charge” and only “special charge”; this is inconclusive, given how DekaMaster’s key is blue but emits a “black charge”. According to Super Sentai 36 LEGENDS, Deka Swan was classified as both a White and Orange Ranger.[1]
- The DekaSwan power appeared more often in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger than in her own series Tokuso Sentai Dekaranger. She is the only participant of the Legend War to have this distinction.
- Swan is the only member of the Super Sentai 199 without a Mecha or the ability to grow giant.
- DekaSwan's suit design is actually based on her usual S.P.D. uniform, with the undersuit having exactly the same design.
