Actor: Yoshida Tomokazu (吉田 友一)

A super elite from the S.P.D.'s Tokkyou division that was sent to Earth when the Hell's Siblings attacked and rendered the other DekaRangers powerless. He at first is very arrogant and doesn't believe in "good luck" or the "power of justice"; however, after seeing the other DekaRangers growing because of their strong beliefs in justice, Tetsu grew in an interest in them and remained on the Earth branch. His main weapon is on his left hand, the BraceThrottle, which contains a series of deadly attacks. Tetsu also blurts out his catchphrase, "Nonsense", in English at times.

Actress: Ishino Mako (石野 真子)

Kruger's personal assistant, as well as the main mechanic of the team. She is half-human. Both Kruger and Tetsu seems to have feelings for her, as seen when they panic when they hear Swan is being targeted or has a secret admirer. She can also transform into DekaSwan, although it is her policy to transform once every four years.

Allies

Murphy

A mechanical dog who has a strong sense of smell, as well as tracking criminals. It can move very fast. When Murphy is first introduced, Kruger placed it under Umeko's care. The two doesn't get along at first, but then became close friends. Murphy can also bite the "Key Bone" to transform into the "D-Bazooka", which is often used for the "Strike Out" attack after the verdict is found guilty and approved of delete.

Alienizers

Agent Abrera

Voice Actor: Nakao Ryuusei (中尾 隆聖)

The main antagonist of the story. He is a malicious Alienizer who illegally sells weapons on the blackmarkets for money to other Alienizers. His greatest ambition is money, as well as taking over the Earth branch.

Catch phrases

English phrases: "Roger!" "Emergency, DekaRanger!" "Judgement!" "Delete approved!" "Gotcha!" "Perfect!"(Houji)

Trivia

• Despite the DekaRangers having full names, most of the times, their nicknames were used instead.
• Umeko is just her real name inverted, Ko-ume => Ume-ko.
• If you include DekaBright, DekaGold, and DekaSwan, that's a total of 10 DekaRangers; Deka stands for "ten"
• DekaRanger is the first team to include a total of 10 different members with an equal gender ratio.
• The DekaRanger's nicknames are all based on tea names.
• Their family names are based on mystery writer names.
• The series borrows elements from Men in Black and Alien Nation (alien immigration as a sub-plot), as well as Judge Dredd (the DekaRangers using their SP Licenses to pass judgment on Alienizers) and RoboCop (DekaRanger Robo spinning its Signal Cannon and storing it in its leg). The two robotic dogs are also named after the protagonist and villain in Robocop, Murphy and Clarence.
• The series also pays homage to the Metal Hero Series. DekaWing Cannon is a nod to the Vavilos Big Magnum of Uchuu Keiji Shaider.
• The opening changes footage four times. (Ignoring the monster of the week changes)
  • The first one adds DekaMaster and Murphy.
  • The second one adds DekaBreak, his mecha, and DekaBase Robo.
  • The third one adds S.W.A.T. Mode and DekaWing Robo.
  • The fourth one adds a slight portrait change. This happens in the second to last episode, which is the last time the opening is shown since it doesn't appear in the finale.
