Get to know - Hikonin Sentai Akibarangers

This year's 170th issue of Figure-Oh magazine reveals new, additional and in-depth information regarding the upcoming unofficial Super Sentai series, Hokonin Sentai Akibaranger.

The Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger:

Nobuo Akagi / AkibaRed

Nobuo Akagi works in Sasaki Delivery, at 29 he his already considered as an elderly or uncle seeing his twilight years. He is the leader of the group and a Super Sentai nerd but hooked in an anime series called “Gakuen Z-Cune Aoi.” As a serious squadron nerd, his knowledge knows no bounds.

He wields the "Power of Delusion." His useless training involves being a bike messenger.

Mizuki Aoyagi / AkibaBlue

Mizuki Aoyagi is a high school student highly skilled in martial arts. Her aim in joining Akibarangers is to learn more fighting skills. She is boyish, brash, unyielding, and cold, but she is sensitive to people and also loves anime.

Moegi Yumeria / "Sexy Cat meow~" AkibaYellow

Moegi Yumeria sometimes goes by the name Oh Moegi, her cosplay name. As the daughter of cosplay, she not only loves anime and Super Sentai, but she loves to cosplay with her signature cat ears. Her personality changes each time she changes costume.

Although Nobuo's knowledge in Super Sentai is endless, he chooses Mizuki and Moegi as his partners, just because they are women and their intuition.

As a team, the nerds are struggling to do a signature Super Sentai pose.

MMZ-01 (Moe Moe Zukyuun-01) is Akibarangers Henshin Device and it also doubles as their communication device. Using all three together, Akibarangers forms their hissatsu attack — the Fetish Magnum!

Hiroya Hakase

MMZ-01 was developed by Hiroya Hakase, a store owner of the "Sentai Cafe" in Akihabara and also the ranger's secret base. Hakase is a very mysterious person, and nobody knows her origins.

Itasha Robo

Itasha Robo is formed from the team's Prius car, the Machine Itasha. But the transformation is not as big as Super Sentai mechas today. To transform, it uses a lot of Delusion Power. In vehicle mode, this is usually parked at a car park tenant building.

Sayaka Hoiden and Kozue Aikawa

Sayaka Honiden and Kozue Aikawa are the allies of the Akibarangers. Sayaka works as an editor in Akihabara, while Kozue is a maid in the "Sentai cafe" that looks like BoukenYellow.

Z-Cune Aoi

Aoi is the lead character of the anime series "Gakuen Z.Cune Aoi" that the Akibaranger idolizes. In order to protect Satomi, her best friend, she started fighting crime. The anime quickly became very popular that there’s even a movie of the anime coming out.

Team Evil Steamer Corporation B

Team Evil Stemmer Corporation B is a criminal organization aims change the town and destroy anime and the otaku culture that the Akibarangers want to protect. Before a fight this organization habitually presents a business card!?

Marushina (left) is the head of the redevelopment of Team Evil Stemmer Corporation B. She is an evil woman who lurks in town dressed as a man and mostly seen wearing sexy bondage clothes. She uses the "Sachiku" to invite sadness to those who oppose.

Akibaranger's battle scenes use Toei's formula and special effects, in a quarry bay familiar to Toei's Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series. Prepare for the huge explosion in each battle pose!

Adding some new blood and abandoning the taboos and restrictions of the Super Sentai series, this is a forbidden series meant for adults. Good kids, stay away from this show. Got it?

The official website lists several tokusatsu and anime veterans, including director Ryuta Tazaki (Kamen Rider), director/character designer Keiichi Satou (Tiger & Bunny), writer Naruhisa Arakawa (Kamen Rider Kuuga), and composer Kenji Kawai (Ghost in the Shell).
