Trivia / Ninja Sentai Kakuranger

• Actor-Shared Background: Jiraiya is Japanese American, like his actor Kane Kosugi.
• Bonus Episode: Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Super Video: The Hidden Scroll was released with an issue of TV Magazine.
• Dawson Casting: Slightly inverted. Satomi Hirose, playing Tsuruhime, was not yet 14 when filming began. When Tsuruhime is shown celebrating her birthday onscreen mid-series, her birthday cake can be seen holding 16 candles.
• Prop Recycling:
  • The costume worn by Youkai Mujina's Amazoness assassin in #46 is a reuse of that worn by Tiger Ranger, Boi, from Zyuranger.
  • One of the various background Yōkai in a few episodes is in fact the Combined Four Deva Kings from Gosei Sentai Dairanger in a different outfit and given a red wash.
• Real-Life Relative: Jiraiya, played by Kane Kosugi, was the pupil of his father's killer, Gali. In real life, Gali was played by Kosugi's father, Shou.
• What Could Have Been: Kane Kosugi was initially cast as Red but his poor Japanese led to his role being changed to Black.
• You Look Familiar: The yokai Amikiri's human guise and voice were provided by Ami Kawaii, aka Lamy in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger. Coincidentally her American counterpart, Witchblade (no, not that one) is also voiced by Wendee Lee.
