Yumebakura (ユメバクラ 25 & 26) is a chimeric Ayakashi.
History[]
Yumebakura is sent to put Dayu Usukawa to sleep and remember her origin by exuding a sleep-inducing mist. Once his job is done, he then enters the dream world so he can eat the dream incarnations of his human victims, thereby killing them. However, Shinken Blue and Shinken Green enter the Dream World after him and force Yumebakura out before breaking his hold over his victims by severing the part of his body that allows him to use the sleep mist.
Appearing the next day with the Meimō Kyōmuken (迷妄凶夢剣 Delusion Nightmare Sword) and intent to eat humans in the real world after some convincing by Doukoku Chimatsuri and Shitari of the Bones, Yumebakura is defeated by Super Shinken Blue and destroyed by Daikai ShinkenOh with the Ika Tenkuu Buster. He also had the ability to hop rapidly against the enemy.
Yokai Origin[]
According to folklore, the baku (獏 ) is a chimeric yokai that devours dreams. Yumebakura's multi-animal appearance and ability to enter dreams is thought to be the origin of this legend.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Yumebakura is voiced by Jurota Kosugi (小杉 十郎太 Kosugi Jūrōta), who later voiced Robogog of the 10-sai in Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
Design[]
- His design combines the baku and an abstract concept of nightmares. The animals that make up the left side of his body are from an early description of the baku; which is said to have an elephant’s trunk, a rhinoceros' eyes, an ox's tail, and a tiger's paws. The other parts on his right side incorporate a bird and a snake.
