The Five Heroes of Shougeki Gouraigan Revealed


The stage press conference for Shougeki Gouraigan happened just recently, which revealed the five heroes of the show and what fans should expect abou this show.

In the series, a world called Choushinkai is populated by a race of super beings called Hikaribito and under this race is a sect of criminals called Kagebito. There is also a race of evil creatures called Magi who exist in both our world and in Choushinkai. The only ones who can see these creatures in our world are those humans with powerful spiritual sense and one of those who can see them is Hitomi Kai whose life will change after seeing her first Magi.


After capturing some of the Kagebito, one of the Hikaribito generals named Gou is attacked by a Magi on his ship, the Punba. After he crash lands on our planet, he receives a message from his home world that within 100 days, an army of thousands from his world will attack the Earth. Now stuck in this strange planet, he teams up with Hitomi to gather the escaped Kagebito and fight the new threat alongside them!

These are the five warriors that make up the Hikaribito Army, composed of only one actual Hikaribito warrior. The names of the characters also compose the name of the series, Sho, Geki, Gou, Rai, and Gan.


Shou (played by Nami Kasuya) is a lone female warrior and is described as beautiful and fierce who is after every beautiful object in the world – which might be a clue as to how she found herself arrested in the first place.


Geki (played by Tomoki Hirose) is an agile warrior who loves video games and lazing around. He is often mistaken as being a cold-hearted man, but his burning spirit swells up his heart.

Gou (played by Takahiro Kato) is the main protagonist of the show and is stuck in our world. He is Straight-forward, hot-blooded and easily moved. He also has a habit of voicing what's inside his heart.


Rai (played by Shimegi Enoku) is a fun-loving individual who enjoys women and alcohol and uses electrical-based attacks. He might also have a bit of a crush on Hitomi and seems to get along better with Gou than anyone else.


Gan (played by Shouma Yamamoto) is a silent but deadly type of warrior who believes in absolute justice. He is very straight laced and speaks in an antique manner.

Appearing in the press conference are director Keita Amemiya, producer Takeo Kobayashi and actress Yua Shinkawa who were on stage and hopes that the show will be a big hit. They hope that the show's romantic-comedy aspect will set the show appart from the rest of other tokusatsu productions.


Director Keita Amemiya hopes that he can instill a sense of nostalgia in the adults watching the show. Though rather than purely excite them, he hopes to remind them of the fun they got out of the tokusatsu of their youth.

Shougeki Gouraigan is Yua Shinkawa's first major role in a series. She revealed that she's been having fun on set, particularly the laughs shared between the cast and her hopes that tokusatsu fans will be able to sense their earnest efforts when watching the show.

Shougeki Gouraigan premieres this October 4th, replacing the current season of GARO.
