Yanma Gast (ヤンマ・ガスト Yanma Gasuto) is the cunning president of Nkosopa who transforms into Tombo Ohger (トンボオージャー TonboŌjā), the Blue Ranger of the King-Ohgers.
History[]
Past[]
Before rising to the top, when Yanma was still a little boy living in the slums he met Gin, being enamored and interested with computers, he would become Yanma's mentor and thought him all the trick and trade that he has accumulated over the years.
Meeting his crew[]
After taking up the spot of Gin, Yanma would continue his legacy of tinkering with technology until one day Shiokara, Akka, Usuba, and Mayuta came to him asking if he could distinguish real or fake money to which he replied saying that he was fed up with them throwing them around so he just made a machine that could differentiate them which in turn caused their illegal business to be shutdown. They would proceed to beat him up for his actions but would not fight back and protect his laptop, proclaiming that technology would accelerate in its development.
Sometime later he would be captured by them and would be confronted by Suji for his actions towards him and his faction, without fear he would stand against him and his actions. Being tired Suji commands Shiokara to finish Yanma off but in turn Yanma would give him a change of heart and would lead a small revolution, rising to the top as the new ruler of N'kosopa. 
TV STORY-Ep. 35: Don't Cry, Slack-Jawed Tanuki
Present[]
Yanma is the president of Nkosopa. During the Wrath of God attack 15 years ago, when Nkosopa had been decimated, he grew up in the slums, due to the attack hitting the land hard. His mentor, Gin, taught him how to repair computers and the technology from the slums. At one point, he finally created his main laptop rigging, later known as Top Computer, that he still uses to this day.
Alas, Yanma's journey to rebuilt N'kosopa from Zero didn't start well. At one point, he came across Shiokara, who at that time is still working to a counterfeiter boss named Suji, alongside with Akka, Mayuta and Usuba. Shiokara initially hates Yanma since the latter successfully created a machine to point out the counterfeit money they produces. However, Yanma tenacity, determination and resolve, even when facing a certain death successfully win Shiokara over. Thus, Shiokara ended up beating and leaving Suji and swear his allegiance to Yanma. Eventually, Yanma rose through the ranks, and became the president of N'kosopa, with Shiokara ended as Yanma's regent. Under Yanma rule, N'kosopa turned from Debris filled Slum to a futuristic and technological city.
Imprisonment[]
Yanma Gast was imprisoned in Gokkan for the crime of monopolizing the world's electricity. He monopolized the world's electric power without permission for the development of the ultra PC, Tenjō Tenge Yuiga Dokuson (天上天下唯我独尊 lit. 'Through Heaven and Earth, only I reign supreme').[1][2] TV STORY-Ep. 27: Arrival of The Uchu King
Personality[]
A well-meaning monarch who would rather not get involved in politics, Yanma is a highly intelligent man, having obtained his throne through his computer skills alone. However, these skills have made him highly arrogant albeit he was able to deduce that Rcules Husty was far from the benevolent king that he had painted himself to be at a first glance. As a result of his arrogance, Yanma attempted to hack into God Kuwagata and control King-Ohger himself, only to fail while Gira Husty had succeeded. While generally approachable, Yanma is slightly aggressive in nature due to growing up in the slums. As a result, unless he has someone watching over him, he will often pick a fight with anyone in the area. Yanma also has bad table manners, which were deemed vulgar by Hymeno.
Despite his arrogance, Yanma still holds his responsibility as a king properly. However, instead of protecting the kingdom himself as a king, he makes sure that everyone in the kingdom follows his path as well as being able to support each other. Moreover, he never views his citizens as just mere "lowly beings" or "tools" to be disposed once they had outlived their use. Instead, he views them all as his comrades. Because of his personality along with how well he has established his kingdom, all of his citizens have no quarrel with regards to following his leadership.
In teamwork with the rest of the kings, Yanma always takes the lead because of his vast knowledge and a quick wit to read the situation.

Relationships[]
Allies[]
Rangers[]
- King-Ohgers
- Gira Husty/Kuwagata Ohger: After witnessing Gira Husty succeed in awakening God Kuwagata and control King-Ohger, Yanma forcibly drags him to Nkosopa to figure out how the young outlaw achieved what he could not. Initially looking down on Gira because of how naïve he is, Yanma is able to connect with him through their shared hatred of Rcules. They share the deepest development during Gira's forced hiding, proven when Gira saved him from Daigorg attack.
- Hymeno Ran/Kamakiri Ohger: Initially, Yanma seemed to show interest in Hymeno. After witnessing her selfish behaviour and acts, he's had a disliking to her, often bantering with her like with his teammates. However, in serious situations, the pair tends to work well together.
- Rita Kaniska/Papillon Ohger: Yanma hates Rita's screaming.
- Kaguragi Dybowski/Hachi Ohger: Originally distrusting Kaguragi due to his alliance with Rcules, Yanma figures out Kaguragi's ruse and states that because of Kaguragi's motives, he finds it easier to trust him.
- Jeramie Brasieri/Spider Kumonos: Yanma got to know Jeramie since the latter knew about Gin, Yanma's mentor in the past. Jeramie initially was dismayed over the fact that Yanma used Venomix Shooter - Jeramie's mother's keepsake for a Failed Whoopee Cushion Prank on Rcules. However, after Yanma succeeded in the prank for the second time for his revenge during Daigorg's emergence, Jeramie came to enjoy the prank, exclaiming that his mother will be pleased. The two became close friends since.
- Rcules Husty/Ohkuwagata Ohger: Yanma Gast initially had a great disgust against Rcules, viewing him to be arrogant and selfish. Yanma noticed Rcules' bad traits within years of working on the Shugods for him, and his contempt peaked after Rcules was selfishly taking over the lead to control King Ohger. The last straw for Yanma was when Rcules helped the Bug Naraku revive Daigorg, and would have killed him during a siege in Nkosopa had it not been for the interference of Gira. Even after Rcules showed his true allegiance to Chikyuu, Yanma initially refused to forgive him for his past atrocities, until Yanma himself become drunk in his power (a courtesy of Hilbil's brainwashing). After finally ending Hilbil for good, Yanma begrudgingly respects Rcules for his wisdom.
