JAPAN 2002
Ninpuu Sentai Harikenja

Ninpuu means some sort of Ninja Technique. Hurricanger is Hurricane Ranger. "Shinfuu" is "Divine Wind" aka "Kamikaze"... Most ninja techniques (ninpouu) retain their Japanese spelling in English, since it is a recognized martial art outside of Japan. I mean, we say "ninja" not "stealth people" or "assassins"... right? Our "Hurricane" comes from the Japanese "Hariken" - August Ragone

Hurricanger is about ninjas. There is a first team of red, blue and yellow known as the Hurricanger and the second team that are the Goraijer made up of Kabuta Raijer and Kuwagata Raijer. The two teams are from different ninja schools. The mecha are three animals and two insects. Throughout the first period of the show the enemy of the Hurricanger will create the Goraijer out of two ninjas who are from the Hurricanger's rival school. They are a team who are equal in strength with the Hurricanger. After Goraijer is beaten, they get over they're differences and the two become Hurricanger.

In this series, there is robot ninjas and organic monsters that our heroes face. The robots are destroyed by the main weapon then the "Copy Giant" is sent to duplicate the image of the fallen machine. When an organic monster is destroyed, it is rebuilt by scroll sent down by Windenu's Bazooka.

Footage from this 2002 Sentai series was adapted into the 2003 American series, Power Rangers Ninja Storm.
