Azukiarai [Citation needed]from 15 April 2023 (UTC), or Azuki Arai[1] (アズキアライ 1, 3, 4, 12, 34 & 53) is a garbage-based lizard Yokai who ends his sentences with "shoki" and is a master of the Illusionary Trash Can. He disguised himself as a policeman.

History[]

With his underlings, Azukiarai sets up his base of operations in the resident police department as its chief after kidnapping the previous one when he was snooping into their affairs. He also took four of the Jusho Ninpo scrolls four centuries. When the Kakurangers regain the scrolls, Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 3: American Ninja Azukiarai abuses his authority to arrest Seikai for jay walking so he can capture Saizou, Tsuruhime, and Jiraiya when they try to rescue him. While he and his group have a party to celebrate while have their way with their captives, Azukiarai finds Sasuke infiltrated the party to free his friends. Though Azukiarai used the real chief of police as a human shield, the interference of the man's son Shigeru allowed them to defeat Azukiarai. Though he traps them in his trashcan so can burn them with a bonfire, the Juusho break free and form Muteki Shogun to finish him off. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 4: The Apparition Policeman

Azukiarai was one of five Replica Yokai created by Prof. Yugami to aid Tengu in destroying the Kakurangers.

This time Azukiarai was armed with a forearm cannon on his right arm, the Replica Yokai attacked the Kakurangers with Azukiarai fighting and overpowering NinjaYellow, at the command of Tengu Azukiarai and the Replica Yokai grew giant and battled the Giant Beast Generals (With Azukiarai fighting Black Gammer), as the Giant Beast Generals drew their weapons Tengu revealed that the Replica Yokai were created from the kidnapped children (With Azukiarai created from a boy the Kakurangers befriended named Masao) and would die if the Replica Yokai are destroyed which allowed the Replica Yokai to fire at the Giant Beast Generals without them fighting back, as the Kakurangers summoned the Beast General Fighters the battle continued with Azukiarai fighting Battle Kark who makes a quick strike at Azukiarai which knocks him down, after Tengu was beaten by Muteki Shogun Azukiarai vanished and the kidnapped children returned to normal. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 12: They Came Foorth!! New Juushou

Before his death, Azukiarai was one of four potential Yokai husbands who Sunakake Babaa dreamed of marrying before turning to Daimaou himself after they were all killed by the Kakurangers. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 34: The Bride's Sandy Hell!!

Azukiarai

Azukiarai reappeared, along with all the other defeated Yokai, within the Seal Door after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. Tvicon TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!

Design[]

Azukiarai is a modernization of a Japanese mythological creature, the azukiarai. The creature is traditionally depicted as appearing near rivers, but is depicted here living in a trash can. "Shoki-Shoki", the word Azukiarai ends his sentences in, is a sound traditionally made the creature in the original folk tales; it is the sound of red azuki beans being ground into paste.
