Biography
Shinkenger
Unlike Ryunosuke, Chiaki initially has no interest in being Takeru’s vassal. He is weaker than the others and seen as immature and a rebel because he abandoned his training early and would rather hang out at the local game center than restart his training. He is a big Tekken fan as he often plays Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion. Regardless of his short temper, he is cheerful and honest. In battle, Chiaki often uses tricks to gain the upper hand against Gedoshu.
As Chiaki and Kotoha are the youngest members of the Shinkengers,[1][2] they share a strong bond; several episodes focus on their friendship. In episode 6, Chiaki becomes upset that Kotoha readily believes that she is stupid and accidentally hurts her feelings when he scolds her for it.
He later apologizes for his outburst, and Kotoha confesses that she likes how he is straightforward. Since then, Chiaki and Kotoha have become close, each trying to cheer up the other in times of stress; this is most evident when Chiaki draws cat whiskers on Takeru's face (when Takeru's soul was trapped in a beckoning cat statue) to make Kotoha laugh.
Chiaki, out of the Shinkengers, is shaken the most by theft of Kotoha's soul. In a brash move, he attempts to recover it, by demanding the Ayakashi come out of the Sanzu River with his sword. When a friend of Genta's shows an interest in Kotoha in episode, Chiaki is uncomfortable with the idea. Aside from Kotoha, Chiaki is also good friends with Genta as they are both free spirited young men.
Shinkenger vs. Go-Onger
The Shinkengers come to the scene where they believed the Gedoshu were ransacking the city, but instead face the Gaiark. Although the Shinkengers are confused, they still fought the Gaiark. But while the Shinkengers were fighting, Sosuke Esumi, Go-On Red, appears, and defeats the Gaiark for them. Chiaki and the rest of the Shinkengers weren't able to fight for long as Sosuke's mach-speed fighting interfered with everyone. Although the Shinkengers found Sosuke and his companion Bomper, suspicious, they invite them to the Shiba mansion.
Meanwhile, in the Sanzu River, the Gedoshu meet the Chief of Pollution Bacchiido, a Gaiark who wants to unite all worlds under Gaiark World. To do so, he created a device in the human world that can pollute all worlds, called Bacchirium Plant. He reveals that to finish the device, he needs water from the Sanzu River. He planned to transport the water with his ability to cross dimensions. Dokoku, learning that using the Bacchirium Plant, he can increase the Sanzu River, allied with Bacchiido, and summons a Gedoshu, Homurakogi. However, Bacchiido asked for three more members, who turned out to be the three Pollution President Batcheed: Yogostein, Kegalesia, Kitaneidas, who, after previously been defeated by the Go-Ongers and Yogoshimacritein, lived at the bottom of the Sanzu River.
When Sosuke and Bomper arrive at the Shiba Mansion, Bomper reveals that Bacchiido created a device that can pollute all the worlds somewhere in the Human World, called Bacchirium Plant. He also reveals that the Go-Ongers fought and lost to Bacchiido in Gunman World, and in consequence, all got separated in different worlds. Sosuke and Bomper were forced back to the Human World. The Engines were trying to find the rest of the Go-Ongers. So, Sosuke planned to destroy Bacchirium plant once the Go-Ongers and Engines reunite, and asked the Shinkengers to help. Takeru declined due to Sosuke's amateur way of fighting while wasting too much energy and thinking lightly about battle. Later, Chiaki commented that Takeru didn't have to be so cold to Sosuke.

199 Hero Great Battle
Chiaki appeared in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle alongside fellow Shinkenger Genta Umemori as part of the 35th anniversary team and he was the one who informed the Goseigers after the battle that all the teams had lost their powers. Both he and Genta appeared to the Gokaigers to support them; even though the Shinkenger Greater Power had previously been granted by Kaoru.
Farewell Space Pirates
After the defeat of Ackdos Gill, Captain Marvelous returned all the Ranger Keys to the former Sentai heroes. It is assumed Chiaki and his teammates received their keys, allowing for them to utilize their powers once again. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen
The Shinkengers, alongside the Gekirangers, Go-Ongers, Gorengers (bar Akarenger), and Goseigers, emerge through a dimensional wall.
Chiaki, alongside his team (Shinken Gold and Princess Shinken Red were absent), among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. Ironically, the Shinkengers were acquainted with the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker, Tsukasa Kadoya, also known as Kamen Rider Decade, having encountered him before when he visited their world.

Super Hero Taisen Z

The five-man Shinkenger team was part of a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements led by Akarenger and Kamen Rider #1
that came to assist the Sentai and Riders of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.
After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, the Shinkengers appeared standing on a cliff with all the other heroes who appeared to help, to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave.

The Shinken Green Ranger Key (シンケングリーンレンジャーキー Shinken Gurīn Renjā Kī) is Chiaki Tani's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Shinken Green Ranger Key was mainly used by Don Dogoier (Gokai Green), who used it to fight as Shinken Green. It was also used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue) on one occasion.
