Takamichi Crystalia (クリスタリア宝路 Kurisutaria Takamichi), born Takamichi Hakataminami (博多南宝路 Hakataminami Takamichi) TV STORY-Episode 13: Great Underground War, is Kiramai Silver (キラメイシルバー Kiramei Shirubā), the 6th Ranger and the Silver Ranger of the Kiramagers. He is also the biological long-lost older brother of Muryou Hakataminami, the adopted older brother of Princess Mabushina, the adopted son of King Oradin, and the adopted nephew of Galza. He also has a crush on Sayo Oharu.
Character History
Thirty years ago, back when Takamichi was a normal Earth human, he befriend with King Oradin. During an expedition with the king, Takamichi was in a middle of digging an unearthed treasure at forest. Unfortunately, the treasure is revealed to be a Monstone, lodging into Takamichi’s body to death, and Oradin rushes toward his corpse to save his life. Takamichi’s corpse is soon brought by Oradin to Crystalia and being revived into a human-Crystalian hybrid.
Afterwards, he was adopted as the prince of the Crystalian Kingdom and met the kingdom’s sole heir, Princess Mabushina. He then plan to return to his home planet Earth and resume his treasure hunting, taking both Shiny Kiramai Changer and Shiny Breaker along with him that originally were used for emergencies only. Unbeknownst to him, his adopted home was taken over by his Uncle Galza who decide to join Dark Empire Yodonheim after Galza decided to ambush him with help from Carantula and Bechats.
Takamichi first appears where he discovers Sayo Oharu laying against a rock with a sprained ankle after she experienced a string of bad luck attending to an emergency regarding stranded hikers. He uses what he calls "Wonder Medicine" to heal her ankle, which she later discovers had worked.
Later, he introduces himself as Takamichi Crystalia to Meteorite Jamen in front of the Kiramagers, surprising them. After the defeat of Meteorite Jamen and gaining their admiration, Mabushina approaches Takamichi and slaps him, blaming him for what had happened to their home and their father.

Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
Takamichi Crystalia is portrayed by Kohei Shoji (庄司浩平 Shōji Kōhei). As Kiramai Silver, his suit actor is Masashi Takada (高田 将司 Takada Masashi), who previously served as the suit actor for Ryusoul Blue.
Notes
- Kiramai Silver is:
- The first Sentai Ranger whose signature weapon is a jackhammer.
- The first Ranger with a drill motif in Super Sentai history.
- The second Ranger with ice as a motif after Magi Mother.
- Another Sentai Ranger to be a sibling of an ally and an antagonist.
- The Second Silver Ranger to command a Drill Mecha. The first being Gai Ikari of the Gokaigers.
- The first Ranger in Super Sentai history, to kiss a female Ranger on-screen. This made him similar to a Power Ranger character Tommy Oliver, due to both are the first Rangers, and the sixth Ranger member of their Ranger series adaptions who kisses their respective Pink Rangers.
- The way Kiramai Silver raises/lowers his goggles is very similar to Kamen Rider Mach who can open/close his V-Helm. This also has a similar effect for Beast Morphers Red when his visor is pulled down, but only for his Zord's finishing attack.
- Takamichi is also the third Sentai Sixth Ranger where a feature on his helmet can be moved, The first being Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver as when he transforms into Gold Mode the front part of the top of his helmet pushes down over his eyes, The second being Misao Mondou/Zyuoh The World as the front part of the top of his helmet and the front of the mouth plate can move up or down when he switches between any of his alternate forms.
- The only difference between Takamichi and his two mentioned predecessors is that Takamichi can move the goggles by hand without using his transformation device and it isn't for when he switches to a different form.
- Speaking of Gokai Silver, Takamichi's situation is a hybrid between Gai and his counterpart, Orion/Super Megaforce Silver. Whereas Gai was the only Earthling in a team of aliens and Orion is the only alien in a team of Earthlings, while Takamichi is a human-alien hybrid in a team of full blooded Earthlings.
- Takamichi is also the third Sentai Sixth Ranger where a feature on his helmet can be moved, The first being Gai Ikari/Gokai Silver as when he transforms into Gold Mode the front part of the top of his helmet pushes down over his eyes, The second being Misao Mondou/Zyuoh The World as the front part of the top of his helmet and the front of the mouth plate can move up or down when he switches between any of his alternate forms.
- Takamichi's last name is actually his adopted planet's name that he uses as a different persona.
- Like with the other three Kiramagers, Takamichi's vehicle is a land-based vehicle. However, unlike the other Kiramagers, his vehicle uses the element of Ice and Snow.
- Despite being turned into a half-Crystalian, Takamichi retained his human form, lacking any crystalline body parts to speak of.
- Though he is two years older than Muryou, it is possible that his Crystalian bloodline negated his aging, similar to Dino Charge Power Rangers’ aging being negated by the Energems.
