Chiaki Tani (谷 千明 Tani Chiaki) is Shinken Green (シンケングリーン Shinken Gurīn) of the Shinkengers. He serves in the next generation after his widowed father.

History[]

Shinkenger[]

Chiaki initially has no interest in being Takeru’s vassal and devote himself to him, unlike Ryunosuke and Kotoha. But as the series progresses, he warms up to his teammates and accepts Takeru as his leader.

He is a big Tekken fan as he often plays Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.

As Chiaki and Kotoha are the youngest members of the Shinkengers, 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.

Out of the Shinkengers, Chiaki is shaken the most by the 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. He is even willing to become a Gedounin in order retrieve her soul.

Aside from Kotoha, Chiaki is also good friends with Genta as they are both free spirited young men.

After the final battle against the Gedoshu, Chiaki goes back to finish his final year of high school, since he had to leave his studies to join the Shinkengers.

Goseiger vs. Shinkenger[]

After being alerted that Dokoku has been revived, Chiaki arrived at the middle of the fight alongside with Takeru, Ryuunosuke and the Goseigers, the leader of Gedoshu is revealed to be Brajira, who captures Takeru and retreat alongside with Madakodama. They went back to Nozomu's house and alert Hikoma that Takeru has been taken and presumed that he has been taken into Sanzu River. Hyde explains that the person only calls himself a Gedoshu was Brajira. Ryuunosuke asked where did Brajira took Takeru, but they do not know as Alata suggested that they won't give up as it may work out. Chiaki then pulled Alata's collar for confusing him and Ryuunosuke by introducing themselves as Gosei Angels. Hikoma tried to calm Chiaki but the latter pushed Alata. Agri agrued with Chiaki because he thought that Chiaki was very mean to Alata. Ryuunosuke and Chiaki has to find Takeru but Hikoma asked them to wait and followed them.

Alata approached these two at the docks and said if they don't work together, then Takeru won't be saved and couldn't beat Brajira. Agri brings Eri and Mako to the docks and meet up. Moune, Hyde and Kotoha meets up with the team. A Fire Mojikara suddenly approached them and it is revealed to be a brainwashed Takeru who morphed into Gedou Shinken Red and attacks the Goseigers while Ryuunosuke asked him to stop, but didn't respond and leaving them on the ground after an explosion. The four Shinkengers watch in horror as Takeru turns to them. Kotoha tries to talk sense into him but to no avail. Takeru uses Kaen no mai on them, and they fall and he was about to use Rekka Daizontou to finish off his retainers, slamming the giant blade onto the concrete, sending a rush of fire to them. But Alata blocks them instead, and recieves some severe burns. Genta and Gosei Knight show up, retreating everyone.

While Alata is treated at Nozomu's house, Chiaki, Ryunosuke, Kotoha, Mako and Genta are all in grief about Takeru's brainwashing, but also the fact that Alata would save them from eternal defeat. Tvicon TV STORY-Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku

Months after wiping out the last of the Gedoshu, Chiaki fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada.

Personality[]

Chiaki is weaker than the other Shinkengers, 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. Because of his rebellious behavior, he often gets scolded by Takeru, Hikoma and Ryunosuke. Regardless of his short temper, he is cheerful and honest. In battle, Chiaki often uses tricks to gain the upper hand against Gedoshu.

SuperChangeShinkenGreen

"Shinken Green" Super Change Card

Super Change (スーパーチェンジ Sūpā Chenji): A Change (チェンジ Chenji) card that initiates the transformation from Gosei Angel to Super Goseiger. Unlike the other Gosei Cards, the activation call for this card is "Super Tensou!". In Tensou Sentai Goseiger vs. Shinkenger: Epic on Ginmaku, this card was used by Gosei Black to allow Shinken Green to become a Super Shinkenger without using the Inromaru.

Shinken Green Ranger Key

The Shinken Green Ranger Key.

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.

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Chiaki received his key and became Shinken Green once more.
