- ―Green Samurai Ranger's Roll Call[src]
Mike is Samurai Ranger Forest, the Green Samurai Ranger of the Samurai Rangers in Power Rangers Samurai. He loves video games and is a bit of a rebel. As Green Ranger, he pilots the Bear FoldingZord and controls the element of forest.
History[]
Samurai[]
His bike had training wheels until he was 10. TV STORY-Sticks and Stones
Mike first appeared when Mentor Ji's call to arms took out a cheeseburger he was eating TV STORY-Origins. He was revealed to be the Green Ranger, and soon proved that despite his slacking, he was a very capable fighter.
Not much has been revealed about Mike's past. It is presumed that Mike's father was the previous Green Ranger. It was established early on, however, that he was far different from his fellow Rangers. Unlike the others' unwavering dedication, Mike had no problems stopping for a bite to eat, or putting his training on hold for fun. While this keeps him one of the more well-adjusted members of the Samurai team, it does show during battle, as he is commonly depicted as rushing in early, and being knocked out quickly.
However, Mike has been shown to be a hard worker when given the right motivation, as he trained tirelessly to get strong enough to master the Beetle Disc, when it is given to Mia instead of him. It eventually pays off, and he earns the Beetle Disc to keep. TV STORY-Forest for the Trees
His greatest time to shine came when four of the Rangers get switched with inanimate objects, leaving just him and Emily. Ji gives him the Black Box, and with its power, he and Emily prevail.
Super Samurai[]
After Master Xandred's defeat, Mike goes with Emily. TV STORY-Samurai Forever.
Megaforce[]

Tommy gathered all the existing Power Rangers, Mike and the other Samurai Rangers returned as part of the army of Legendary Rangers that helped the Mega Rangers defeat the Armada once and for all, Mike was one of the Rangers who saluted the Mega Rangers before fighting in a huge battle against hundreds of X Borgs and dozens of Bruisers. After the demise of the X-Borgs, Tommy shook hands with Troy and teleported off along with Mike and the Legendary Rangers. TV STORY-Legendary Battle
Dino Fury[]
When Zayto suggests they use the Legendary Database and find a weapon from the Ranger legacy to use against Wreckmate, looking at the Database, Zayto suggests building Jayden’s Fire Smasher due to its enormous size and power. Mike and the other Samurai Rangers are seen in the archive footage during the battle against Tooya. However, Solon says she does not have the means to make a Power Disc to harness its full power. TV STORY-The Festival
Zayto activates the Legendary Ranger Database, showing Master Blue that Master Green came to them after the Dinohenge statues were destroyed and restored them to normal. Also, Zayto says that he found Ranger teams who were saved in their darkest moments through unexplained reasons and shows them three specific moments. Including the Legendary Battle where all the Legendary Rangers including Mike and the other Samurai Rangers coming to the aid of the Megaforce Rangers in the Legendary Battle and helping them defeat an entire army of the Armada's X Borgs. TV STORY-Morphin Master
