 ==Trivia==
-* The name Kakuranger is derived from "kakure" (隠れ) which translates as "to hide."
-<!--* This series was originally called Ninja Sentai GoNinja. Can I get a citation for this?-->
-* One of the concepts of Kakuranger was to modernize the ancient Japanese Yokai into a more modern model. For example, Oboroguruma was originally an oxen cart themed Yokai but was changed to be themed around an American-style taxi and Azukiarai was originally a river themed Yokai whereas Kakuranger has him as a policeman and designed around a bin.
-* [[Kane Kosugi]] who played Jiraiya / Ninja Black is the second American-born cast member of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. <!-- If he's the second, who's the first?-->
-* [[Sho Kosugi]], who played Gali is Kane Kosugi's real life father and best known for playing ninja characters in popular films from the Seventies to the Eighties.
