- "Liveman!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Black Bison Ranger Key (ブラックバイソンレンジャーキー Burakku Baison Renjā Kī) is Tetsuya Yano'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 Black Bison Ranger Key was mainly used by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink), who used it to fight as Black Bison.
- When the Gokaigers became the Livemen in their fight with Zangyack scientist Zaien. Ep. 30: Just a Lone Friend's Soul
The Liveman 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 puppet Livemen fired their Bimotion Buster alongside the Changemen, Flashmen, Maskmen, and Turborangers, only to be swiftly defeated by the individual finisher attacks of the Gokaigers and Goseigers as they emerged from the resulting fireball.

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Tetsuya received his key and became Black Bison once more. Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Notes
- When he first introduces himself to Liveman, Tetsuya refers to himself as "the iron bison"; this would end up being the nickname of another black ranger themed after a bison: Soutarou Ushigome (GaoBlack) of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger.
- Coincidentally, Soutarou fought alongside fellow Liveman, Yusuke Amamiya/Red Falcon, in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
- He is the first Black Ranger to take the place of the team's Pink Ranger as opposed to taking the place of the team's Green Ranger. Followed by Go-On Black 20 years later.
- He also is the first male ranger to take this position followed by KuwagaRaiger, GekiChopper and Go-On Black.
- He is the first Black Ranger to serve with a Green Ranger as part of the main 5. Followed by Go-On Black, KyoryuBlack and RyusoulBlack.
- He is also the first Black Ranger to work with a Green Ranger.
