* CustomUniform: The uniforms look the same, except for stripes in your ranger color.

Upon the graduation day of Hayate Way Ninja Academy, an alien ninja clan called the Jakanja descend on the school and kill the entire student body. The only survivors are three students who happened to be elsewhere doing remedial training.

* {{Homage}}: ''Hurricaneger'' pays tribute to ''Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman'' (the 1988 ''Sentai'' series) in many ways. It's the first ''Sentai'' series since ''Liveman'' to start off with three main members, the blue ranger is also a girl, the three main characters are students of an elite academy, their animal motifs are ''almost'' identical (a blue blue dolphin and a yellow lion, with a red hawk replacing ''Liveman's'' red falcon), [[ThreePlusTwo two extra members are introduced mid-series]] (plus [[SixthRanger a third one]]), and the villains of both teams keep track of their members' performance.

* ThePowerOfRock: The Ninjamisen, a combination guitar/gun. Shurikenger gets the most usage out of it, but episode 35 sees the entire team give it a go.

''Ninpū Sentai Hurricaneger'' ("Stealth Wind Squadron Hurricaneger"[[note]]This was the first Sentai title to shorten the suffix "-ranger"[[/note]]) is the twenty-sixth installment in the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' series, airing from 2002 to 2003.

Out of desperation, the three students are given the school's greatest honour so they can fight against the Jakanja: the power to become Hurricaneger.
