Ryo Daigo Ko Kazu Rin

Tenma Ranger

天重星将児 Sky Heavy Star Shouji

Shouji Tenjuusei was nineteen years old when he became a Dairanger. His great dream in life was to become a world boxing champion! He seemed the simplest of the Dairanger. He had a strong sense of fair play, and also competetiveness which he could only really apply with Kazu, as the others were not interested in such. Strong, balanced, playful and loving. Shouji's personal opponents were The Three Stupid Gohma, who loved to play games. And he taught them by example to put the urge to show their mettle above the need to cheat to win. He was also often the one who developed a crush. Curiously he never lit on Rin, perhaps because he regarded her more as a sister than anything. He was highlighted in Episode 2, when he faced a pocket-purse monster which had attacked with exploding head-shaped goards. He learned to evade such flying attacks with dignity and aplomb. In episodes 3 and 4, he was the first to come face to face with homicidal, maniacal dolls. In Episode 11 he had to rescue a girl he had a terrible crush on, and managed to turn a magnet-Gohma's own power against it. Things were personally quiet until Episode 32, when he was trapped inside a birdcage-Gohma with a little girl he was trying to save. He managed to get out by catching a ride with it's Familiar, a huge vulture-like bird. It was in Episode 39 wherein his influence on the Three Stupid Gohma first became too strong to be denied. Because of him, they placed honor before defeating him, and may have died. They remained with him, though, in spirit.
