Biography
Hurricaneger
The leader of the team, though a bit dim-witted, Yousuke's courage and determination make up for his slow-thinking. At age 19, he works at a window cleaning service. He eventually meets up with Ichiro Taishu, a fellow student in the Air Ninja class who dropped out after seeing that it wasn't his place to be a ninja and attempted to have Yousuke quit too. But after seeing Yousuke in action, Taishu accepts it and wishes his friend good luck. Yousuke later almost got himself killed to provide the vaccine for Ikkou Kasumi.

10 Years After
Yousuke performing his roll call helmetless.
After the events of Hurricaneger are over, he becomes a handyman and travels around the world (but probably returned for a short time in the Gokaiger events), carrying out plenty of foreign aid in developing countries. Six months before the special's events, he finds a mysterious boy washed up from the ocean who only remembers his name: Tenkai. Days later, Tenkai is kidnapped by Bat Zhe Rumba, Furabijo and Wendinu. Being responsible for it, he is forced to become HurricaneDark, bombing ninja academies around the world and stealing his fellow teammates' Shinobi Medals in exchange for Tenkai's release. After he steals the Shinobi Medals, he intends to bomb the Japanese branch which has been thwarted by Nanami and Kouta upon their discovery that he is the perpetrator. They apprehend him and take him for inquiry.
Throughout the inquiry, Yousuke remains silent, having others (including Oboro and Mugensai Hinata speak in his stead. When Kouta testifies on the Gouraigers losing their Shinobi Medals, Yousuke claims full responsibility. The judge contemplates sentencing to execution or exile. Yousuke looks at Nanami when she speaks up about witnessing a boy while she was in his office but remains silent. Suddenly, Bat Zhe Rumba emerges from Yousuke's jacket, single-handedly stealing his, Nanami and Kouta's confiscated Shinobi Medals and shoots at the judge, allowing Yousuke to obtain Shurikenger's Shinobi Medal by her side when her guard is down. He demands for Tenkai to be brought back now that all the Shinobi Medals are stolen only for Bat Zhe Rumba to trick him with Tenkai's projection manifesting in the inquiry room.
Frustrated, Yousuki heads to Shinobi Valley with Nanami and Kouta following. Kouta tells him off for handling Tenkai's situation alone and questions their faded bonds. Nanami hands them an apple she ate a part of and the three Hurricanegers look on the river, reminiscing of their team's formation and bonds ten years ago. He realises the Hurricaneger's resolve is exactly what he has been doing over the years. He opens up to Nanami and Kouta of Tenkai's origins and his relation to the villains. He tries to dissuade them from joining him, reminding them of their life goals but Ikkou steps in and reminds Yousuke of the time he almost killed himself for Ikkou's vaccine which ultimately cemented the alliance between Hurricanegers and Gouraigers. Yousuke is then finally convinced to fight together and the five Ninja Sentai warriors head for the nearby subspace where Tenkai is kept, freeing the boy.
Yousuke fighting Magerappas with singing.
Their plan foiled, Bat Zhe Rumba, Furabijo and Wendinu take on the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers, summoning Magerappas at their disposal. Bat Zhe Rumba decides to manually use the Shinobi Medals but Tenkai fights off the first wave of Magerappas, retrieving the Shinobi Medals and himself transforming into Shurikenger. Having regained his Shinobi Medal, Yousuke transforms with the rest of the team and join the fight. While combating a group of Magerappas on his own, he dons a kimono swordsman outfit and fends them off while singing the last four verses of the theme song of Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger a cappella. After all the Magerappas are expended, HurricaneRed and Shurikenger fight Bat Zhe Rumba directly but he creates two additional clones of himself that finish them off in one slash. Bat Zhe Rumba prepares to land the killing blow on them but they abruptly block it, actually feigning defeat. They easily defeat his clones and land a combined attack, Double Duplicate Magical Balls at him. Finally, they join the rest of the team to ultimately end him with the Ultimate Ninja Art: Six-Man Shadow Dance Hextuple Connection, Final Gadget attacks.
After the battle, the team watches the sunset. Yousuke asks if Tenkai really wants to be Shurikenger's successor and the others if they'd want to look for any. Tenkai agrees whereas the others disagree, wanting to stay as Hurricanegers while still maintaining their civilian lifestyles and goals. TV STORY-Ninpu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 YEARS AFTER
Ninninger
- "Unbeknownst to people, Unbeknownst to the world. We become shadows to strike down evil. That's what becoming a ninja is."
- ―Yousuke telling Takaharu what it means to become a ninja.[src]
Yousuke, alongside Sasuke, was hired as temporary teachers of the 2015 Super Sentai, Ninninger. They demonstrated their special Ninjutsu abilities and ordered the Ninningers to train with it but none of them were able to, including Takaharu. When Youkai Nekomata rises, the two Sentai Red mentors tied Takaharu and lead the rest of the Ninningers against Nekomata. Before it was about to go to 10 years in the past, Takaharu jumped along into the time door to pursue him. Sasuke and Yousuke watched in regret as they weren't able to change Takaharu's fate from being killed in the past. But once Nekomata returned, Takaharu revealed himself, surviving his demise with the substitution technique taught by Yousuke. The Sentai Reds and Ninningers managed to finish Nekomata, gaining his purified Sealing Shuriken and received two new Nin Shurikens when Sasuke and Yousuke acknowledge their effort. While pursuing Kyuemon, she revealed what Nekomata gave her was not the End Shuriken, but rather NinjaRed's signature Shuriken as she threw it away in disgust and summoned Giant Youkai Gashadokuro to take care of them. While the Ninningers piloting Shurikenjin, NinjaRed ordered AkaNinger to use their Nin Shurikens which he put to use as they finish Gashadokuro. While they returned home, NinjaRed and HurricaneRed reunited with Akarenger when Yoshitaka Igasaki requested them to watch his grandchildren as they agreed. TV STORY-Shinobi 7: Spring Ninja Festival!

The HurricaneRed Ranger Key (ハリケンレッドレンジャーキー Hariken Reddo Renjā Kī) is Yousuke Shiina'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 HurricaneRed Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as HurricaneRed. It was also used by Gai Ikari on one occasion.

Splitting up, the puppet HurricaneRed was defeated as part of a group of surviving Red warrior keys by Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red. 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. Yousuke received his key and became HurricaneRed once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
The HurricaneDark Ranger Key.
The HurricaneDark Ranger Key (ハリケンダークレンジャーキー HarikenDāku Renjā Kī) is a Ranger Key released as part of the Ranger Key Set: LOST EDITION. It is unknown if it will appear in a future crossover. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. one of the Gokaigers, into HurricaneDark.
Hurricaneger Zyudenchi
The Super Sentai Zyudenchi (スーパー戦隊獣電池 Sūpā Sentai, Super Squadron Beast Batteries), alternatively named Legend Sentai Zyudenchi (レジェンド戦隊獣電池 Rejendo Sentai Jūdenchi, Legend Squadron Beast Batteries) in the toyline, are a special line of Zyudenchi that contain the likeness of the Sentai teams before Kyoryuger (represented by the main Reds). These Zyudenchi are in the same fashion as the "Legend Rider" lines of Collectible Devices in the Kamen Rider Series.
A Hurricaneger Zyudenchi which bears the likeness of Yousuke is part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi toyline which can be used in Super Sentai Battle: Dice-O.
Hurricaneger Ressha
The Legend Sentai Ressha (レジェンド戦隊レッシャー Rejendo Sentai Ressha) are Ressha based on the mecha, specifically those belonging to the Red heroes, of the ToQgers' predeceeding Super Sentai teams. They can form a unique combination of ToQ-Oh reminiscent of past Sentai Robos by switching with Red Ressha. The ToQ Changer toy is shown to have sounds for Legend Ressha of all 37 previous Sentai.
The Hurricaneger Ressha (ハリケンジャーレッシャー Harikenjā Ressha) appears as an SG Ressha. The actual ToQ Ressha is likely based off of HurricaneRed's personal mecha Hurricane Hawk; should it replace Red Ressha in ToQ-Oh, it would most likely form ToQ-Oh Senpuujin.
The Hurricaneger Shuriken
- "Hurricaneger!"
- ―Ninja Ichibantou technique announcement[src]
The Hurricaneger Shuriken (ハリケンジャーシュリケン Harikenjā Shuriken) is one of two special Nin Shuriken (忍シュリケン) based off AkaNinger's Red Ninja Sentai predecessors, bearing the likeness of HurricaneRed and marked with the kanji for "sky" (空 Sora), reflecting HurricaneRed's aerial superiority and also his official title as an Air Ninja (空忍 Soranin). It is unlocked from two purified Sealing Shuriken when they give the Ninningers their approval after Youkai Nekomata was destroyed. When AkaNinger inserts the Shuriken into his Ninja Ichibantou while inside Shurikenjin, it activates the Super Ninja Art: Sky Dash (超忍法・空駆け Chō Ninpō - Sora Gake), which temporarily ejects Shinobimaru to give the Otomo Nin super speed so that it can rapidly strike the opponent, as put to use during a battle with a Giant Youkai Gashadokuro. TV STORY-Shinobi 7: Spring Ninja Festival!
Red Spirit
AkaRed, Bouken Red, and the Red Spirits.
The 30 Red Rangers AkaRed embodied in Boukenger vs. Super Sentai.
As the twenty-sixth Red, Hurricane Red's Red Warrior Spirit was embodied by AkaRed.
In his role call, he briefly changed to GaoRed, Hurricane Red, AbaRed, DekaRed, MagiRed, then back to himself as a demonstration of his power.
While being binded by Time Demon God Chronos, Aka Red recreated Hurricane Red's Portable Ninja Sword Hayatemaru for Bouken Red, allowing him to use the Kage no Mai attack to successfully free Aka Red. TV STORY-GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai
Imitations
- A copy of HurricaneRed was created by Madogi as part of the Fake Rangers. Madogi of the Phantom Beast Corps created evil duplicates of the Earth Ninja to draw out the real ones as part of Sandaaru's plan to trap them to lure out Gozen to destroy the barrier he made with the Raging Arrow medal. Though the the fakes were destroyed after this, this was part of Sandaaru's plan to take control of the Hurricanegers, Gouraigers, as well as Shurikenger with special collars to force Gozen to feel sadness so he could remove the Grieving Bow medal she possessed from within her body. TV STORY-Scroll 48: Trap and Eternal Life
- The Alienizer Ginjifuan Kazak took the form of HurricaneRed, appearing to come to the aid of the Abarangers, and then proceeded to attack them. TV STORY-Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger vs. Abaranger
Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Yousuke Shiina is portrayed by Shun Shioya (塩谷 瞬 Shioya Shun), who reprised his role in Gokaiger and Ninninger. As HurricaneRed, his suit actor was Hirofumi Fukuzawa (福沢 博文 Fukuzawa Hirofumi). In Super Hero Taihen, HurricaneRed was portrayed by suit actor Hiroaki Nakamura (中村 博亮 Nakamura Hiroaki). In Ninninger, HurricaneRed's suit actor was Kosuke Asai (浅井 宏輔 Asai Kōsuke).
Notes
- Yousuke's HurricaneDark form is reminiscent of Gedou Shinken Red from Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, as they are both dark forms taken by the Red hero.
- His name is similar to that of another Ranger from a team which, coincidentally, had the first ninja Ranger.
- Though the circumstances surrounding how he became HurricaneDark aren't fully known, he is the second black ninja-themed ranger following Jiraiya.
- He is the only Red Ranger in a ninja-themed team without a mecha that can turn into an arm.
- He is the first Red Ranger to temporarily gain a Black Ranger form that is identical to his Red Ranger form, followed by Right Suzuki.
