Umibozu (ウミボウズ Umibōzu, 23, 53): A sea monk Yokai under the command of Junior.
History[]
He attacked the Kakurangers on Tsuruhime's birthday, abucting a boy named Yuta and turning him into stone, along with four other children. The children served as five keystones needed to summon the Demon Sealing Door, which was needed to begin the ceremony to resurrect Daimaou. As more children were being turned to stone, even more gas was to added to this fire to speed-up Daimaou's revival. Umibouzu then fought the Kakurangers to ensure the resurrection would happen without interruption. In battle, Umibozu used a large sword as his weapon, along with anchors and depth charges, and could also breath/blast fiery lasers from his mouth. Though he over-powered the others, Umibouzu was unable to withstand NinjaRed's Ninpou and enlarged himself with the lightning. He was the only Yokai to stand up to the Muteki Shogun's flaming sword attack, which lead to almost defeating the Shinshou and almost killing the Kakurangers. If it wasn't for Holy Stealth Beast Tsubasamaru's appearance, this would have happened. Though he was destroyed by the Super Muteki Shogun, his actions (in the ceremony) were not reversed.

Umibozu reappeared, along with all the other defeated Yokai, within the Seal Door after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
