Pegasus Automobile Company

The Pegasus Automobile Company (自動車会社ペガサス Jidōsha Kaisha Pegasasu) is a fictional establishment were the five protagonists are served as employees in the Super Sentai series, Gekisou Sentai Carranger. They use Kurumagic Power (クルマジックパワー Kurumajikku Pawā) to fight the Space Bosozoku Bowzock.

Gekisou Sentai Carranger

Carrangers

The Carrangers consist of five workers employed at the Pegasus Auto Garage. Advertisements for the series show that the first kana in the Carangers' names spell "automobile" (「じ・ど・う・し・ゃ」（自動車） "Ji-Do-U-Shi-Ya" (jidōsha)) in Japanese.

Kyosuke Jinnai

Kyosuke Jinnai/Red Racer (陣内 恭介/レッドレーサー Jinnai Kyōsuke/Reddo Rēsā) is 23 years old. He is a test driver at the Pegasus Auto Garage, normally only assigned to do errands and aberrant jobs. Kyosuke was pristinely a selfish jerk, callous enough to abandon his team because he wanted to drive his authoritative figure's classic car. Soon, though, Kyosuke realized that he had a responsibility as the Carranger's bellwether and became very conscientious, albeit the role of bellwether sometimes gets to him and he is inundated by the stress of being responsible for the team. He fell in love with Zonnette, albeit at first she only loves his Red Racer alter ego, and is eventually able to confess his love to her. He is a very stouthearted, heroic man who was disposed to jeopardize his life to fight as Kyousuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.

Kyosuke Jinnai is portrayed by Yūji Kishi.

Naoki Domon

Naoki Domon/Blue Racer (土門 直樹/ブルーレーサー Domon Naoki/Burū Rēsā) is 17 years old (though he turns 18 during the series - he had his day of inception party early on in the series, but his partners unknowingly missed the date by a month) and very polite and shy. He works as a car designer at Pegasus Garage, and his aptitude had led him to be sought by car manufacturers before. Naoki is withal an animal lover.

Naoki Domon is portrayed by Yoshihiro Masujima.

Minoru Uesugi

Minoru Uesugi/Green Racer (上杉 実/グリーンレーサー Uesugi Minoru/Gurīn Rēsā) is the oldest of the team, 24 years old, and a bungling salesman at Pegasus. He once loses the bracelet portion of the Accel Changer (and thus the Green Racer powers) while practicing victory poses after a fight in episode 8. Minoru verbalizes with Osaka-ben and is a fan of the Hanshin Tigers.

Minoru Uesugi is portrayed by Yoshihiro Fukuda.

Natsumi Shinohara

Natsumi Shinohara/Yellow Racer (志乃原 菜摘/イエローレーサー Shinohara Natsumi/Ierō Rēsā) is 19 years old. A genius mechanic at Pegasus Garage, Natsumi is able to fine-tune any machine in minutes. She utilizes a legendary wrench given to her by the owner of a garage she visited as a child, but later learns she can still fine-tune anything without the wrench. Her initial opposition to Kyosuke's relationship with Zonnette makes her one of two female warriors to oppose the red warrior.

Natsumi Shinohara is portrayed by Yuka Motohashi.

Youko Yagami

Youko Yagami/Pink Racer (八神 洋子/ピンクレーサー Yagami Yōko/Pinku Rēsā) is 19 years old. She is secretary at Pegasus Garage, calculating the expenses and payroll. Yoko is very self-conscious about her weight because she loves to eat sweets, and frequently consults magazine fortune-telling articles to prognosticate her future. She dreams of becoming an idol someday and espousing an affluent husband, and has a terrible sense of direction.

Youko Yagami is portrayed by Atsuko Kurusu.

Signalman

Polician Intergalactic Robotic Police Officer Signalman (シグナルマン Shigunaruman, 12–17, 20–28, 35–38, 42–44, 46–48) is a robotic being who was assigned to Earth, and something of a Sixth Ranger figure. He emanates from the Police Planet, where he left behind his wife Sigue, and son Sigtarou. To Gynamo, Signalman was space's number one worst person. He can sometimes be more of an obstruction than a help to the Carrangers, because of his excruciating training in the rules of traffic.

Signalman briefly left Earth and returned to his homeworld to spend time with his family only to find that it was polluted by five-colored exhaust engendered by Exhaus to warp Signalman's mind. Apostatized that the Carrangers were behind it, he went back to Earth to perform police brutality on them, and remotely became the new bellwether of the Bowzock. Fortunately, the Carrangers managed to restore their friend to normal by chicaning him into imbibing natural mineral dihydrogen monoxide.

Signalman kenned of the Carrangers true identities until episode 46 through Ichitarou.

Signalman can conventionally be optically discerned operating from the Kobaan Base (コバーンベース Kōban Bēsu, Police box Base), a diminutively minuscule Police booth, which can be proximately everywhere in Japan (except places where people might actually pass it...).

Before entering battle, he verbalizes, "Upholding the traffic rules of justice! My name is...Signalman!" In the finale, Signalman returns to be with his family.

Signalman is voiced by Hōchū Ōtsuka.

With magic, she dons an outfit modeled after the Carrangers (to the point of having the number six as an identifier) and calls herself "White Racer". Before entering battle, she says "Dreamy traffic safety! Gekisou Shoujo White Racer!". She drives the Radiacar which can become a robot, but for only one minute. First aided Carrangers against the Zokurangers, able to shapeshift. Calls Red Racer "big brother" because of his love for Zonnette. Transforms by saying "Tiramisu, konjac, mille-feuille". Her name comes from the words "radiator" and "fanbelt," both of which are auto parts. She uses Riddle Bombs (謎々爆弾 Nazonazo Bakudan), volleyball-sized explosives that detonate if the enemy who catches it does not know the answer to White Racer's riddles.

Radietta Fanbelt is portrayed by Misaki Sudō.

VRV Master

Space Lone Wolf VRV Master (宇宙の一匹狼ＶＲＶマスター Uchuu no Ippiki Ōkami Bui Aru Bui Masutā, 29–32, 41–43, 47–48): A being in black armor who appeared suddenly while Dapp was in the hibernation that his race goes into. He gave the Carrangers the VRV Machines after the RV Robo had been stolen by Bowzock. It was later revealed that the VRV Master was Dapp's father. In order to save his son from Exhaus he apparently sacrificed himself so he could return to Earth. Later, however, through a Christmas gift from him, revealed he was alive. He returned to Earth once again to save the Carrangers and Dapp from being killed in a bombing of their work/base. He was addicted to coffee milk, which was the reason why he wasn't in hibernation himself. After the final battle, VRV Master is finally seen out of his suit and travels in Victrailer (out in space) with Dapp.

VRV Master is voiced by Kiyoshi Kobayashi.

Gorotsukis

The Gorotsukis helping the Bowzock out the best they could. At the finale, they are shown to be part of their own studio.

Gynamo

President Gynamo (総長ガイナモ Sōchō Gainamo) is the leader of the Bowzock who is madly in love with Zonnette, targeting Earth on her whim. Though he makes an idiot of himself in front of his posse during his attempts to woo Zonnette, Gynamo maintained his intimidation of the other Bowzock to maintain his power. Arriving to Earth, Gynamo uses his power to have Earth's vehicles go on a riot until the Carrangers arrive. The next time Gynamo arrived on Earth was when RitchRitchiker used his secret savings for marrying Zonnette to buy off Zelmonda and Grotch, getting work at an arcade's Yakiniku stand. But upon learning of RitchRitchiker's death, Gynamo resumes his position as Bowzock leader. At the end of the series, he re-opened the yakiniku restaurant that he set up while Ritchiker took over the Bowzock.

Gynamo is voiced by Hiroshi Ōtake.

Zelmoda

Deputy Leader Zelmoda (副長ゼルモダ Fukuchō Zerumoda) is Second-in-command of the Bowzock, and Gynamo's friend. Unlike comical other members, he is kind of cold-blooded as he only betrayed Gynamo after being offered a large sum of money by RitchRitchiker. His main weapon is a sword made up of playing cards and he carries an octopus jar, that usually holds Wumpers or cash. Zelmonda suffered astraphobia when he was screwing around during a thunderstorm as a kid, and was hit by lightning. However, he mustered up enough will to overcome his fear so he can move out of Gynamo's shadow. Zelmoda summons Elekinta, who temporarily powered-up his ride. At the end of the series, he and Grotch help work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.

Zelmoda is voiced by Kyōsei Tsukui.

Grotch

Inventor Grotch (発明家グラッチ Hatsumeika Guratchi) is Bowzock's genius inventor, responsible for many of the weapons used by the Bowzock such as the Fattening Spray and Forgetfulness Water-Gun. Forced to flee to Earth for laughing at Guynamo's expense, a starved Grotch holds Ichirou hostage to force Yoshie to buy him lots of food. Among them was Imocho-brand Imoyoukan, causing him to enlarge as he unintentional causes city wide damage. He attempted to take advantage of his new size to kill the Carrangers, as their current arsenal has no effect. Fortunately, the imo-youkan he ate had expired and wore off before either could do harm to the other. He is also saved by Zelmoda before the Carrangers could do him harm. After the incident with MM Mogu, Grotch would usually accompany a Gorotsuki to Earth and purchase Imocho-brand imo-youkan. At the end of the series, he and Zelmoda helped work at Gynamo's restaurant while going to elementary school for education.

Grotch is voiced by Takashi Nagasako.

Zonnette

Beauty Zonnette (美女ゾンネット Bijo Zonnetto, 1–45) is an obedient member of Bowzock who uses her feminine wiles, and Gynamo's crush on her, for her own selfish pleasures. Zonnette drives a pink convertible called the Zonnecar. Arriving with a bandaged up Wurin in the guise of "Zonko" (in episode 13), she tricks Signalman into thinking the Carrangers are lawbreakers. However, as her plan failed, Zonnette fell madly in love with Red Racer after seeing him in action. However, she loved only Red Racer and not Kyosuke, who unitentionally broke her heart during the GG Goki-chan incident. As time passed she also fell for the man behind the mask. She is Radietta's big sister and the princess of planet Fanbelt.

At the end of the series, she becomes "purified" and resumed her true form, Vanity Mirror Fanbelt (バニティーミラー・ファンベルト Banitī Mirā Fanberuto, 45, 47–48) by saying "Ravioli, Kishimen, Linguini!", returning to her home planet for an arranged marriage, though she turns them all down since Red Racer is still in her heart. She returned during the finale and talked Gynamo into teaming up with the Carrangers, which they did.

Zonnette is portrayed by Rika Nanase.

Goki-Chan

Goki-Chan (ゴキちゃん Goki-chan) was originally an ordinary cockroach that is made large during Grotch's experiments with Imo-youkan, becoming large enough to threaten Zonnette before she could subdue the insect and turned it into her servant and a general background member of the Bowzock. After another experiment where it was enhanced by another of Grotch's machines, Goki-Chan became Bowzock's most powerful dancer GG Goki-Chan (ゴーゴーゴキちゃん GōGō Goki-chan, 15), able to create earthquakes with his dancing as long as its tape deck continued to play. Zonnette brings Goki-Chan with to Earth in hoping to use it to cause enough chaos to bring Red Racer to her to confess her feelings. In the midst of a battle with both RV Robo and Sirender, its tape ended up getting tangled and warped, making Goki-Chan finally shrink back down into its normal size before being spirited off by Zonnette. Goki-chan is later outfitted with special Carmagic-draining lips to go after the Carrangers as II Goki-Chan (イケイケゴキちゃん IkeIke Goki-chan, 41, 43). It was successful at disabling the entire team until Dapp's wish for victory gave a fresh supply of Carmagic to the Carranger, allowing them to drive Goki-Chan back.

Arsenal

Mecha

Some of the mecha in the series were created by Dappu, while some were brought to Earth by Signalman and VRV Master.

Ranger Vehicles

Ranger Vehicles (レンジャービークル Renjā Bīkuru): Car-like mecha created by Dappu when he infused his Kurumagic power into the Carranger's dream cars. They are normally stored at Pegasus Garage until the command "Ranger Vehicles!" is given.

RV Robo

The Ranger Vehicles link up to form Racing Fusion RV Robo (激走合体ＲＶロボ Gekisō Gattai Aru Bui Robo), who uses the RV Sword (ＲＶソード Aru Bui Sōdo) as its primary weapon in its RV Sword Radical Racing Cut (激走斬り Aru Bui Sodo Gekisō Giri), where the robot "spins" while dashing towards the enemy, slashing though it repeatedly and destroying it, posing as it explodes in the background (making it the first Sentai Robo Sword Attack that does not involve an aura of energy). Red Vehicle forms the head and chest; Blue Vehicle forms the body and upper legs; Green Vehicle forms the lower right leg; Yellow Vehicle forms the lower left leg; and Pink Vehicle forms the arms. First change from a sort of tank mode into Battle Mode by the command "Battle Mode, change up!". Also able to use the tire-shaped Radial Shield (ラジアルシールド Rajiaru Shīrudo) and Plagnade Spark (プラグネードスパーク Puragunēdo Supāku) energy blast from headlights on chest. Other attacks include Yellow Vehicle Kick, Yellow Vehicle Spin Kick (イエロービークル回転キック Ierō Bīkuru Kaiten Kikku), Pink Vehicle Punch (ピンクビークルパンチ Pinku Bīkuru Panchi), and RV Naniwa Kick. Limbs are interchangeable with VRV Robo in order to become the Scramble Intersection Robo.

It was stolen by the Bowzock when Ritchhicker defeated and captured it with Braking during Dappu's hibernation. This leaves the Carrangers without the means of countering Braking until VRV Master provides them with the VRV Machines. After VRV Robo defeated Braking, the RV Robo was outfitted with a special giant battery allowing the Bowzock to gain control of it. As the battery would explode if it attacked too much, the Carranger could not fight back with VRV Robo. Once Red Racer heads to the RV Robo and removes the battery, the Carranger are able to reclaim their mecha. RV Robo was badly damaged in the finale, but when the heroes had their party, RV Robo was shown repaired along with VRV Robo.

It also appeared again for Megaranger vs. Carranger, and its power helped to power up GaoKing in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

Sirender

Sirender (サイレンダー Sairendā): Signalman's personal police cruiser that transforms into a law-enforcement robot when Signalman says "Stand up! Sirender!" (スタンドアップ! サイレンダー Sutando Appu! Sairendā). Comes (amidst regular-sized police cars) when Signalman uses the Signal Whistle. In its robot mode it is armed with the Siren Vulcan (サイレンバルカン Sairen Barukan), a powerful laser gun, the Wappagun (ワッパガン Wappagan), a handcuff that shoots off on a chain, Siren Daggers (サイレンダガー Sairen Dagā), blades that extends from the wrists, and Siren Shield (サイレンシールド Sairen Shīrudo), a riot squad shield. Another weapon is the Signal Flash (シグナルフラッシュ Shigunaru Furasshu) energy blast, an attack similar to the RV Robo's Plagnade Spark attack, can be used in either vehicle or robo mode. The front end becomes the lower legs (with the windshield as the feet), the rear end becomes the forearms (with the back wheels in front of the lower arms), and the back window becomes the upper back which reveals the head. Though it is not destroyed, Sirender can also be seen in the heroes party at the finale.

Victrailer

Victrailer (ビクトレーラー Bikutorērā): A three-trailer vehicle transport that holds the VRV Machines (some sources say that it can alternatively carry the Ranger Vehicles) until the command "Victrailer Go!" is given. After releasing them, Victrailer "stack-transforms" into a giant robot (The tractor forms the top, the first trailer becomes the middle section, and the second trailer forms the arms and the bottom section), Victrailer Battle Mode (ビクトレーラーバトルモード Bikutorērā Batoru Mōdo), who serves to provide its arms for VRV Robo to use as weapons in its finisher. They are called the V Bazooka (Ｖバズーカ Bui Bazūka) and the V Vulcan (Ｖバルカン Bui Barukan). Despite having an appearance similar to the "base-robos" of old, and clearly having the weaponry to hold such a position, it never directly enters combat. Victrailer is stored in VRV Master's headquarters underneath Tokyo Dome when not in use. In the finale, Victrailer is seen flying in space, with VRV Master (out of his suit) and Dappu riding inside.

Victory Ranger Vehicles

Victory Ranger Vehicles (ビクトリーレンジャービークル Bikutorī Renjā Bīkuru): New vehicles provided by VRV Master when the RV Robo was abducted by Bowzock during Dapp's hibernation. They normally stay in Victrailer until they are needed. They are initially vehicles, the VRV Machines (ＶＲＶマシン Bui Aru Bui Mashin) can turn into individual robots, called VRV Fighters (ＶＲＶファイター Bui Aru Bui Faitā), by the command "Fighter Change!".

VRV Robo

Certain Victory Fusion VRV Robo (必勝合体ＶＲＶロボ Hisshō Gattai Bui Aru Bui Robo) is the combination of the five Victory Ranger Vehicles. Fire Fighter forms the chest and head; Police Fighter forms the torso and upper legs; Dump Fighter forms the lower right leg; Dozer Fighter forms the lower left leg; Rescue Fighter forms the arms.

VRV Robo uses Victrailer's arms as its twin cannon weapons to perform the Victory Twister (ビクトリーツイスター Bikutorī Tsuisutā) finishing attack where it fires both cannons at a monster. Also armed with the rarely used V Guns (Ｖガン Bui Gan), small laser guns. Limbs are interchangeable with RV Robo in order to become Scramble Intersection Robo.

VRV and RV Robo also have a combo final attack called the RV Sword Twister Cutter (ＲＶソードツイスターカッター Aru Bui Sōdo Tsuisutā Kattā), VRV Robo fires the Victory Twister, which is split into three by RV Robo's Violent Dash Cut.

VRV Robo was brutally broken in the finale but when the heroes had a party, it was shown repaired along with RV robo.

Scramble Intersection Robo

Super Emergency Fusion Scramble Intersection Robo (スーパー緊急合体スクランブル交差ロボ Sūpā Kinkyū Gattai Sukuranburu Kōsa Robo): The RV and VRV Robos can interchange their limbs. The robot formed with the RV Robo's torso and the VRV Robo's limbs. Can use the RV Sword, and its own version of the Victory Twister finishing attack (with the addition of Blue Vehicle's Plagnade Spark).
