Design
PLEX designed Kakure Daishogun. Its design is based on lightly armored ninja, most evident in the vented headgear and barefoot/sandal-like foot design. It also utilizes add on pieces that reflect two basic types of hand attacks, the fist and the closed palm.
Its design as a secondary mecha - a quicker, more streamlined alternative to the Muteki Shogun. The Frog, Wolf and Bear have a simplistic streamlined design, much like old Japanese art, while the Crane recalls the look of origami (paper cranes). Saruder on the other hand is a more direct representation of the legendary Monkey King, which last inspired the design of the Mythical Chi Beast RyuseiOh.
Additional Formations
- Kakure Daishogun could combine with the Holy Stealth Beast Tsubasamaru to become Super Kakure Daishogun.
Toys
Kakure Daishogun has seen several deluxe releases, action figures, collectible figures and even remote-control versions.
