"Denziman!"

―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement^[src]

The DenziGreen Ranger Key (デンジグリーンレンジャーキー, Denji Gurīn Renjā Kī) is Tatsuya Midorikawa'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.

This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The DenziGreen Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as DenziGreen. It was also used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red) on one occasion.

• When the Gokaigers became the Denzimen while fighting the Sneak Brothers. TV STORY-Ep. 8: Little Spy Tactics
• Marvelous became DenziGreen part of an all-green change to defeat a duo of Dogormin. He did a boxing combo attack with Ahim (Green Flash). TV STORY-Ep. 43: To the Legendary Hero

The Denziman keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The Denziman keys were defeated by Super Gosei Blue. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Tatsuya received his key and became DenziGreen once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Tatsuya Midorikawa is portrayed by Naoya Uchida. As DenziGreen, his suit actor was Yutaka Takebe.

Notes

• Until Kakuranger, Tatsuya was technically the first Sentai Green, as the first two Super Sentai series, Gorenger and JAKQ, which were the only previous series to have a Green Ranger, were not part of the Super Sentai series until Toei included them when Ohranger was announced.
• Tatsuya is the first Sentai Ranger who is also a police officer
• Tatsuya is the only Green Ranger with "Green" (Midori) in his name; partially due to the only other team with color last names using a Black Ranger instead.
