The Carrangers are 5 superheroes empowered by the legendary Carmagic Power of the 5 legendary car constellations. Their true forms are 5 workers at the Pegasus auto garage, although no one except Dappu and the VRV Master knows their true identities until the very end.
Jinnai Kyousuke (23 years old) was hired as a test driver at the Pegasus auto garage
but normally was only assigned to do errands and odd jobs. He was originally selfish
enough to abandon his team because he wanted to drive his boss's classic car. Soon,
though, he realized that he has a responsibility as Carranger leader and became very
conscientious, although the role of leader and the stress of being responsible for
the team sometimes overwhelms him. He fell in love with Zonnette, although initially
she only loved his Red Racer alter ego, and was eventually able to confess his love to
her. He is very brave and heroic, willing to risk his life in order to as Kyousuke and
not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.
As Red Racer, his Formula Weapon is the Fender Sword; a red-handled sword from the fender
of the Giga Formula. His special attack is a flying punch called the Driving Attack. His
Speeder Machine is the Red Speeder, equipped with the Speeder Gun, and he drives the Pegasus
Thunder, a legendary red sports car, along with Pink Racer. He pilots the Red Vehicle (a
giant red sports-car type) and the V Fire (a giant fire engine) which can change into the
Fire Fighter robot.
Domon Naoki (17 years old) is a very polite, shy man who is a car designer at Pegasus. He speaks in a very polite way, adding "de gozaimasu" to his sentences. He is extremely shy around pretty girls and becomes so flustered that he cannot fight. He loves animals and from childhood has always wanted to keep animals with him, and so befriended the alien creature Beager, who he kept as a pet.
As Blue Racer, his Formula Weapons are the Muffler Guns, two blue guns from the muffler of the Giga Formula that fire blasts of heat. His special attack is a multiple spin kick called the Hairpin Kick, which he powered up into an airborne somersaulting kick, the Hyper Hairpin Kick. He can also use the Passing Flash, a blinding burst of light from the headlights on his helmet. His Speeder Machine, the Blue Speeder, is the fastest of the Speeders; and he drives the Dragon Cruiser, a legendary blue jeep, along with Green Racer and Yellow Racer. He pilots the Blue Vehicle, a giant 4x4; and the V Police, a giant police car that can change into the Police Fighter robot. The Police Fighter can firea supersonic beam, the Police Siren Sonic.
Green Racer aka Uesugi MinoruUesugi Minoru (24 years old) is a salesman at Pegasus. He speaks with an Osaka accent and is something of a screw-up. While practicing victory poses after a fight, he once lost his Axle Bracelet and almost lost his Green Racer powers forever. On another occasion, he mixed up a box containing a powerful weapon, the Giga Booster, with another one containing a baby cradle to be shipped to Hokkaido, and had to chase a delivery truck all the way to Hokkaido to get the Giga Booster back. Minoru is a huge fan of the Tigers baseball team. When Minoru was a child, he was shocked after fishing for eels during a lightning storm, adn has been afraid of thunder ever since. After Dappu tricked him into eating an electric eel, however, he overcame his fear. He also befriended the Bowzock OO Batton, but was betrayed when Batton revealed his true nature and turned on the Carrangers.
As Green Racer, his Formula Weapon is a large bazooka-like gun called the Engine Cannon, from the engine of the Giga Formula. His special attack is the Pit-In Dive, in which he skims along the ground face-down and sweeps his enemy over. His Green Speeder is equipped with the Speeder Missile, and he rides in the Dragon Cruiser. His Green Vehicle is a large van and he pilots the V Dump, a giant dump truck that can become the Dump Fighter robot.
Yellow Racer aka Shinohara Natsumi Shinohara Natsumi (19 years old) is a genius mechanic at Pegasus, able to fix any machine in minutes. She uses a legendary wrench given to her by the owner of a garage she used to visit when she was little, but she learned that even without the wrench's power she is still able to fix anything.As Yellow Racer, her Formula Weapon is the Side Knuckles, two knuckle-duster type weapons from the side of the Giga Formula. Her special attack is the Checker Chop, a flying chop (like a checkered flag waving). She can also perform the Violent Dash mechanic Dismantling (Gekisou Mekanikku Barashi), in which she runs past and around an enemy vehicle and dismantles it in seconds. She drives the Yellow Speeder, equipped with the Speeder Cutters (2 sawblades), and rides in the Dragon Cruiser. Her Yellow Vehicle is a giant truck and her V Dozer is a giant dragster-like car whose spoiler can move forward to become a bulldozer bucket. The V Dozer can change into the Dozer Fighter robot.
Pink Racer aka Yagami Youko
Yagami Youko (19 years old) is an office worker at Pegasus, calculating the expenses and payroll.
She is very conscious of her weight because she loves to eat sweets, and frequently consults magazine
fortune-telling articles to predict her future. She dreams of becoming an idol someday and marrying
a rich husband, and has a terrible sense of direction.
As Pink Racer, hre Formula Weapon, the Bumper Bow, is a white bow that fires energy arrows, and comes
from the bumper of the Giga Formula. Her special attack is the Wheel Spin Kick, in which she rolls
along the ground and kicks upward from below the enemy. She also has used the Wheel Spin Shield, in
which she spins around in the air creating a shield that can deflect enemy attacks. When she got angry
at PP Rappa for messing around with her weight reading on a scale, she used the Pink Flying Attack ( a
jumping punch), the Pink Giant Swing (she picked up Rappa by the legs, swung him in a circle, and tossed
him into a rock face), and the Pink Bomb Punch of Anger (Ikari no Pinku Bakudan Panchi - a powerful uppercut
that sent Rappa flying). When a Wumper spit a cloud of black ink at her, she performed the Biblade Returning
Wiper (Okaeshi Waipaa), spinning her Viblade around in front of her to gather up the ink and toss it back at
the Wumper. Her Pink Speeder is equipped with the Speeder Radar, and she rides alongside Red Racer in the
Pegasus Thunder. The Pink Vehicle is a giant sports car and she drives the V Rescue, a giant ambulance that
can shoot an oversized hypodermic needle, and can change into the Rescue Fighter robot.
Dappu is one of the last survivors of the planet Hazard, which was destroyed in a Bowzock attack. He is the keeper of the Carmagic ("Kurumagic") Power and gave this power to the five who would become the Carrangers. Dappu's mother was killed in the attack and his father was missing until he returned in the guise of the VRV Master. Dappu is actually a child and so wishes to be with his mother and father together again. He played the game "Shurashushushu" (pogs) with his father when he was little. The Carmagic Power depends on the bond of friendship between Dappu and the Carrangers; when they had a fight, the Carrangers' power began to fade away. Also, his species must hibernate every year in order to restore their strength.
A "Lone Wolf of Space" ("Uchuu no ippiki ookami"), the VRV Master appeared mysteriously while Dappu was in hibernation, and gave the Carrangers the VRV Machines to help them against the giant robot Braking. An enigmatic figure, the VRV Master was finally revealed to be Dappu's long-lost father, who had survived the Bowzock attack on the planet Hazard. The VRV Master likes to play pachinko and drink "coffee milk" ("koohii gyuunyuu").
A space policeman who was assigned to a new post on Earth, Signalman does not forgive anyone who breaks the rules of traffic. He is from the Police Planet where had to leave his wife Sigue and his son Sigtarou. Although Signalman fights against Bowzock alongside the Carrangers, he sometimes ends up causing trouble for them. When he first appeared, he gave the Carrangers tickets for parking their Speeder Machines in a No Parking Zone. Because he has been drilled in the rules of traffic since he was a child, his body cannot help but obey the rules now, such as when Ichitarou was captured but Signalman could not pursue the kidnapper across the street because the crosswalk said "Don't Walk".
Signalman has a badge / recording device called the Signizer, which can also change into a Police Baton Mode and a Gun Mode. When using the Gun Mode of Signizer, Signalman often shoots his enemies in the kneecaps to disable them. He uses Signizer to call on his police bike, the Polispeeder and uses his Signal Whistle to call on his police car Sirender. Sirender can change into a robot mode (the command is "Stand up! Sirender!") and uses the Siren Dagger, an army knife on his wrist; the Vulcan, a high-powered gun. Also, in either mode, Sirender can fire the Signal Flash, a powerful beam of energy, from the lights on top of its roof in car mode, or from his chest in robot mode. Signalman often sets up a telephone-booth looking "kouban" (police box) station called the "Kobaan Base" and stands in front of it waiting for people to pass by.
Tenma Souichirou is the owner of the Pegasus garage and the boss of the Carrangers in their civilian identities. His wife is Tenma Yoshie, and his son Ichitarou is a friend of the Carrangers' and a close friend of Signalman's. "Tenma" is the Japanese name for a pegasus.
The Space Rebel Gang Bowzock ("Uchuu no Bousouzoku Boozokku") is a group of troublemakers who go around destroying planets for fun. They don't follow the rules of traffic and are the reason the 5 Pegasus workers became the Carrangers, since Bowzock's next target was the planet Earth. The Bowzock base is a spherical spacecraft called the Baribarian. The main Bowzock always stay in the BB Saloon, a bar on the Baribarian.
Gynamo is the leader of Bowzock and is madly in love with Zonnette. He will do just about anything for her, and becomes very depressed when he finds out she is in love with Kyousuke. Gynamo was temporarily deposed as Bowzock leader by the Evil Consultant Ritchihiker, but returned after Ritchihiker was killed, to reclaim his gang. While Ritchihiker was in charge, he worked at a yakiniku restaurant. Soon after returning, the "Reckless Dash Emperor" ("Bousou Koutei") Exhaus appeared to the Bowzock members and said he would help them defeat the Carrangers, giving them powerful robots and leading their operations. But when Exhaus revealed that he was just using Bowzock, Gynamo and the rest of the Bowzock joined forces with the Carrangers and helped to beat Exhaus. After Exhaus' destruction, Gynamo stayed on Earth and returned to his yakiniku job.
Zelmoda is Gynamo's friend and second-in-command in Bowzock. He uses a sword made up of playing cards with which he can cause explosions. When he was a child he made fun of thunder and was struck by lightning, and so he has had a fear of thunder ever since. But when he heard of the legend of Elekinta, a great warrior who could be summoned amidst booming thunder by driving past a certain critical speed, Zelmoda overcame his fear of thunder and managed to summon him, although Elekinta was ultimately defeated. He also tried to cheer Gynamo up after Gynamo found out about Zonnette's love for Kyousuke by sending EE Musubinofu to make Zonnette become Gynamo's bride instead. After Exhaus is destroyed, Zelmoda stays on Earth and goes to elementary school with Grotch.
Grotch is a short, bulbous white creature with a glass palte over his face who is Bowzock's inventor, having created such weapons as the Fattening Spreay used by NN Nerenko and the Forgetfulness Water-Gun, a super soaker used to erase the memory of the Space Speed King MAX and turn him into the Bowzock dishwasher KK Esu. He is usually the one who goes to Earth to pick up the imo-youkan to enlarge the Bowzock. He goes to elementary school with Zelmoda after Exhaus is destroyed.
The Wumpers are brightly-colored Bowzock soldiers who come out of an octopus-trap-jar that Zelmoda has. Their faces look something like gas masks, and they use swords and guns as weapons. They can also spray black powder from their mouths like octopus ink.
The Gorotsuki are the Bowzock who are always seen hanging around in the BB Saloon on the Baribarian but never do anything. 4 of them were turned into SS Pamaan's Zokurangers but aside from that, all they do is sit around and watch the main Bowzock.
Zonnette starts off as a member of Bowzock who Gynamo is madly in love with. She is very selfish and takes full advantage of Gynamo's love for her to get what she wants. However, she falls in love with Red Racer after seeing him in action. For a while she loves Red Racer but does not know that he is actually Jinnai Kyousuke, and even when she does find out, at first she says she only loves the Red Racer persona (calling Kyousuke a "monkey-faced civilian"). Kyousuke manages to prove his love for her though, and her love eventually extends to both sides of Kyousuke.
Zonnette is actually a princess of the Fanbel planet. Her real name is "Vanity Mirror Fanbelt", and though she returns to her home planet at the end of the series and has marriage meetings often, she remains in love with Kyousuke. She changes from her Zonnette form to her true form by saying "Ravioli, Kishimen (flat noodles made from wheat flour), Linguini". Zonnette drives a pink convertible called the Zonnecar.
Radiata is Zonnette's sister, and a big fan of the Carrangers. She uses magic to change into a costume modeled after the Carrangers and calls herself "White Racer". She has a staff she uses to change her appearance, with the command "Tiramisu, Konnyaku, Mille-Feuille (a type of pastry)" and uses "Nazo-Nazo Bakudan" ("Riddle Bombs"), white volleyball-sized bombs that explode if the person who catches them can't answer a riddle that White Racer tells them. She drives a white car with a cat's face in front, the Radiacar. The Radiacar can transform into a robot mode although it can only operate for one minute, and later even gains the ability to enlarge itself.
The "Consultant of Evil" Ritchihiker is hired by Gynamo to take care of the Carrangers once and for all. Ritchihiker attempts several times to get rid of them, but fails each time. During the Bowzock festival, he is struck with a bolt of pure evil energy and is powered-up into RitchiRitchihiker. His ultimate plan is to use the giant dinosaur-like robot Braking, and he manages to capture the RV Robo with it. He then proceeds to kick Gynamo and Zonnette out of Bowzock and takes over command. Braking is later damaged and is rebuilt, but is destroyed by the Carrangers' new VRV Robo, and RitchiRitchihiker dies as it explodes in a ball of fire.
The "Reckless Dash Emperor" (Bousou Koutei) Exhaus is a legendary evil in the galaxy. He appeared to Gynamo and the other Bowzock to have them help him with his Great Space Highway Plan to build a highway from one end of the galaxy to the other, because Earth was in his way. Exhaus's first act (before appearing to Gynamo) was to send a 5-colored gas into the skies above the Police Planet that made Signalman's son's throat hurt. A voice told Signalman that the gas was due to the Carrangers' vehicle exhaust, and Signalman went to Earth to fight them. Eventually, SIgnalman found out that it was not the Carrangers' doing, but Exhaus became Bowzock's commander, giving them super robots to use and instructing them in his plans. Exhause kidnapped Dappu and tried to drain his Carmagic Power to use for his own robots, turning it into Evilmagic ("Akumajikku") Power, but his plan backfired when Dappu overloaded the robots with power. Dappu also found out that Exhaus had sent a fortune-telling New Year's card to Gynamo a year ago telling him that he would have luck in destroying planets that started with "ha". This led Gynamo to pick Hazard, Dappu's home planet, to attack and destroy.
Exhaus' ultimate plan was to use an opportunity that came once every 1 million years: the guardian constellations around the legendary car constellations that gave the Carrangers their Carmagic Powers weakened, and Exhaus absorbed the Carmagic Power into himself. The Carrangers were left helpless and unable to change. With the Carrangers beaten, Exhaus had no more need for Bowzock either and set the Baribarian on fire, sending it to crash into the Earth. Signalman in Sirender stopped it and the Carrangers in human form took control of the Baribarian and drove it straight into Exhaus, seemingly killing him and regaining their Carmagic Powers. But Exhaus reappeared in a powered-up giant "Exhaus Super-Strong" form, having absorbed the evil of the galaxy into himself. The Carranges used every weapon at their disposal but Exhaus was too strong until Gynamo fed him a piece of expired imo-youkan, causing him to shrink so that the Carrangers could kill him.
The Axle Bracelet and Axle Key constitute the Axle Changer, the means by which the Carrangers transform. The Axle Key is a black keychain with the word "Carranger" on it. It works like a switchblade; when a button is pressed, a key flips out of it and this is then inserted into the slot on the Axle Bracelet and turned. A small motor in the Axle Bracelet revs up and releases the Carmagic Power to change the Pegasus team into the Carrangers. The Carrangers' changing command is "Gekisou! Akuseru Chenjaa!" ("Violent Dash! Axle Changer!"). The Axle Bracelet also functions as a wrist communicator.
The Auto Blaster is a red gun that looks like a red sports car with a handle stuck on the bottom. It can be powered up ("Shift Up!") into the Auto Punisher, its barrel splitting open and an ion-gathering turbine inside spinning, causing its fire to become 20 times the strength of that of the Auto Blaster.
The Viblade is a sword with a handle in its hilt. When the handle is pulled a turbine on the hilt spins and gives the Viblade added power.
The Giga Formula is a small dragster-shaped car that ("Formula Machine" mode) that can split apart into the Carrangers' Formula Weapons: the Fender Sword, Muffler Guns, Engine Cannon, Side Knuckles, and Bumper Bow. It can also change into a standing cannon, the Formula Nova, that fires powerful fireballs.
The Carnavic (from "car navigation") is a small computerlike device that can track Bowzock energy readings. It was developed by Natsumi and Youko to battle AA Abanba, who could turn herself invisible. The Carnavic didn't work until Youko cried and her tears fell into it, since she was blaming herself for the capture of her friends.
In its computer mode, the Carnavic is called the Navic Com, and can be attached to any of the Carranger vehicles to act as a tracking device. The Carnavic can turn into a gun mode, the Navic Shot, which fires homing charges. The Navic Shot can combine with the Auto Punisher to form the Navic Blaster and fire a beam 3 times the power of the Auto Punisher.
The Giga Booster is a powerful cannon that can be mounted on the top of the Dragon Cruiser. It has 3 forms: a miniature dragster called the Booster Machine, a miniature jet called the Booster Jet, and a large gun called the Booster Cannon that fires balls of plasma energy.
The Speeder Machines are bumper-car like miniature cars that the Carrangers used for transportation until they got the Pegasus Thunder and Dragon Cruiser. Each Speeder Machine has a different feature:
Red Speeder 1: Speeder Gun
Blue Speeder 2: Fastest of the Speeders
Green Speeder 3: Speeder Missile
Yellow Speeder 4: Speeder Cutter
Pink Speeder 5: Speeder Radar
The Ranger Vehicles are 5 giant vehicles modeled after the Carrangers' "dream cars": the Red Vehicle, Blue Vehicle , Green Vehicle, Yellow Vehicle, and Pink Vehicle. The five can combine into the RV Robo ("Gekisou Gattai!" aka "Violent Dash Combination!"), a giant robot whose main weapon is the RV Sword. It also uses a tire shaped shield called the Radial Shield. It can fire a blast from the headlights on its chest, the "Pragnado Spark" (Puraguneedo Supaaku). It can also perform the Yellow Vehicle Kick and Yellow Vehicle Spin Kick with its right leg, the Pink Vehicle Punch with its arms, and the RV Hairpin Kick or RV Naniwa Geri (RV Osaka Kick). The RV Robo's final attack is the "Violent Dash Slice" ("Gekisou Giri"), in which the RV Robo accelerates to full speed and then dashes towards the enemy, spinning around like a tornado with its RV Sword outstretched to slash the enemy repeatedly in a deadly attack. Other "one-shot" attacks used by the RV Robo are: the "Violent Dash Cooling Off" and "Violent Dash Spinning Cooling Off", in which it spun around to prevent DD Donmo's phone-order weaponry from reaching him; the "RV Spinning Watermelon Slice", a spinning sword slash used against TT Terurin; the "Secret Hit Violent Dash Return", used to deflect HH Deeo's baseball attack; and the "Rv Discus Throw", used against VV Goriin's Olympics attacks.
The VRV Machines were given to the Carrangers by the VRV Master while Dappu was in hibernation and the RV Robo was captured by Ritchihiker in the giant robot Braking. They are giant vehicles that can transform into robots. They emerge from a giant container truck, the Victrailer, which is stored in the VRV Master's headquarters under the Tokyo Dome and can change to a giant towerlike Battle Mode.
V Fire (Red Racer), a giant fire engine that can shoot high-pressure water from its nozzle; changes into the Fire Fighter.
V Police (Blue Racer), a giant police car; changes into the Police Fighter, and can fire a supersonic beam called the Police Siren Sonic.
V Dump (Green Racer), a giant dump truck that carries iron balls in it, to lay on the ground in front of enemies and make them lose their footing; changes into the Dump Fighter.
V Dozer (Yellow Racer), a giant dragster-like car whose spoiler can become a bulldozer bucket; changes into the Dozer Fighter.
V Rescue (Pink Racer), a giant ambulance that can fire a giant hypodermic needle; changes into the Rescue Fighter.
The VRV Machines can combine into the VRV Robo ("Hisshou Gattai!" aka "Certain Victory Combination!"), a giant robot more powerful than the RV Robo. It uses two small guns, the V Guns. Its deadly attack is the Victory Twister, in which it equips itself with two huge guns from the sides of the Victrailer, the V Bazooka and the V Vulcan. The Victory Twister is a barrage of energy blasts from the two guns that obliterate the enemy.
The VRV and RV Robos can interchange parts of themselves with each other. Also, when Dappu was trapped inside the chest of the Bowzock robot Land Zuzoon, the VRV and RV Robos executed a team attack where the VRV Robo fired its Victory Twister and the RV Robo cut it in half using the "RV Twister Cutter", so that the blast hit Land Zuzoon above and below the area where Dappu was so as to leave him unharmed.
The Pegasus Thunder is a legendary "wild car" that roamed around space with its friend, the Dragon Cruiser, until they were sealed inside a meteor. They were freed by WW Waritcho and went to Earth, where they befriended Kyousuke and Naoki. The Pegasus Thunder is a red sports car that can change into a flying mode with wings emerging from the bottom, and can fire an energy beam, the Pegasus Laser. Its deadly attack is a barrage of energy blasts, the Pegasus Final Burning. Red Racer drives the car and Pink Racer rides in the passenger seat.
The Dragon Cruiser is a legendary vehicle that is a friend of the Pegasus Thunder. It is a blue jeep with a powerful winch on the back, the Dragon Claw. The Giga Booster can be mounted on top of it. Blue Racer drives the Cruiser, and Green Racer and Yellow Racer ride in it.
The Barikkars are a group of 5 different tank-like vehicles used as assault vehicles by the Bowzock forces. They are each based on a type of animal and have a very rough, mechanical look, with dull metal colors and lots of spikes on them:
Pao Barikkar (based on an elephant; "pao" is the sound an elephant makes in Japanese).
Nyaa Barikkar (based on a cat; "nyaa" is the sound a cat makes in Japanese, equivalent to "meow" in English).
Moo Barikkar (based on a cow; "moo" is the sound a cow makes in Japanese, equivalent to "moo" in English although Japanese "moo" is pronounced with a long "o" sound, not an "oo" sound).
Joki Barikkar (based on a scorpion; "joki" is ????).
Buhi Barikkar (based on a pig; "buhi" is the sound a pig makes in Japanese, equivalent to "oink" in English).
Other vehicles used by the Bowzock forces include a jeep called the Barilander, an orange convertible called the Bariakubar, and motorcycles used by the Wumpers, called Wumpappers.
Imo-Youkan is a sweet yellow block-shaped food made from jellied sweet potatoes. The imo-youkan from one particular store called Imochou has the power to enlarge Bowzock to giant size when they eat it. Any other store's imo-youkan makes the Bowzock shrink to the size of a toy. When expired imo-youkan is eaten, however, it gives the Bowzock a stomachache and although it enlarges them at first, it soon makes them shrink back to human size.
