Lucky (ラッキー Rakkī) is Shishi Red (シシレッド Shishi Reddo, lit. Lion Red), the Red Ranger of the Kyurangers. An extra-terrestrial human from Planet Luth (惑星ルース Wakusei Rūsu) in the Shishi System. Chronologically, he was the fifth Kyuranger to be awakened.
Character History
Past
Contrary to his name and his title as the Luckiest Man in the Universe, he was not born that way, even says himself he was born "unlucky". When Lucky was still a child, he was caught up within an incident with everything around him being destroyed. Having been separated from his parents, with their fates unknown, Lucky was sent away from his original home planet in an escape pod to the planet Luth where he eventually grew up.
Present
Traveling from his home planet Luth, Lucky comes across a meteor shower and crashes onto the surface of the planet Crotos where he comes upon three Kyurangers battling Space Shogunate Jark Matter. Impressed by them he then decides that he will be one of them. His cruiser crashed, the Kyurangers take him back to the Orion where Raptor 283 tells him their story. He attempts to get a Transformation Controller Seiza Blaster to work but it won't without a Kyutama, so he makes off with the Seiza Blaster to find one. He crash lands (again) on Jagjag and meets Garu, who possesses a Kyutama. Garu's hesitance to fight annoys him and he tries to push Garu. The Kyuranger find him and so do Jark Matter. In the ensuing fight, Jark Matter throws him into space, but the Kyutama awakens in front of him and allows him to change into Shishi Red. As Shishi Red he has full control of his powers and discovers that he has access to the Shishi Voyager which has the ability to dock other voyagers as well as form a Giant Robo. Upon defeating Jark Matter in the battle and gaining new comrades in the Kyurangers, along with newly-minted Ookami Blue, Garu, he is welcomed by Raptor 283 as part of the Rebellion.

Lucky's hunch proves correct as the BN Team awaken their Kyutamas.
During a briefing on the Rebellion's mission by Raptor 283, Lucky pinpointed the location of the next Kyuranger to the planet Zigama, taking off in the Shishi Voyager to find them. Coming across a pair of thieves, Balance and Naga Rei, Lucky believed them to the bearers of Kyutamas themselves and joined them the way to their mark, a precious gem in a Jark Matter facility. However, instead of being stealthy, they are discovered because of Lucky looking for a fight. Naga is surprised as Balance betrays Lucky by lashing him with his cables, in full view of Jark Matter. However, Naga is angered and chooses to stay with Lucky. He watches as Balance asks to see the gem as reward and is allowed. Lucky and Naga are put on a death trap to be executed immediately. Balance intervenes by controlling the death trap. Lucky's shot proved to be fruitful as Naga Rei and Balance earned their Kyutamas and fought with the Kyurangers to take down Zigama's Daikaan Gamettsui. TV STORY-Space.2: Let's Go!

Lucky appeared before Emu Hojo
, now accompanied by Asuna Karino, again as he was facing off an example of his own enemies, a trio of Bugsters from Neironzu. Offering his assistance, Lucky was blasted off a ledge by the Bugsters only to luckily have his fall broken by landing on an Instigate Energy Item before joining Emu in transforming, with Ex-Aid assuming the Double Action Gamer which he split in two to even the odds. Taking out their swords, Shishi Red met the Bugster trio in a skirmish alongside the Level XX Ex-Aid duo, with Shishi Red personally engaging the Level 20 Motors Bugster. The fight was soon ended when Motors' Level 40 fellows disengaged and left, leaving him to be defeated by the three heroes' triple slash, freeing his human host. Canceling their transformations, Lucky was thanked for his assistance by Emu, leading him to question if the Kamen Rider had any comrades of his own. Assured by Emu that he had three reliable allies, Lucky voiced to the doctor that he was lucky and that he should cherish them before bidding him farewell as he took his leave.

Other Events
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
Through unknown circumstances, the nine Kyurangers made a brief appearance on an Earth where Jark Matter was not present. Instead, the Kyurangers arrived to intervene against members of the Space Outlaws Deathgalien: Naria, Azald, Quval, and a pack of Moebas, before they could interfere with the Zyuohgers' fight with the Ninningers for the future of Super Sentai against Gillmarda. Lucky was the first to arrive, ramming into the Deathgalien trio as he transformed before yelling "yossha lucky!" Fighting off the Deathgalien, Shishi Red faced the Azald, who was confused in that, in contrast to his familiar foes, he was a red warrior yet a lion. Through a lucky bout of momentum provided by backing into a net, Shishi Red was able to crush Azald before breaking him apart when the team performed their combined All-Star Crash against the Deathgalien, forcing them into retreat as Azald reformed. Their work done, the Kyurangers took their leave while their appearance was observed by the Zyuohger ally Bud, who realized that the future was in safe hands.

Transformation Lessons ~Let's Star Change Together!~
Having walked around the Orion, Lucky walks in on Hammy as she is maintaining her Seiza Blaster with some clear polish. He asks Hammy to teach him how to pose when doing the "Star Change" (transformation). Hammy agrees. She notes that Lucky shouldn't simply carelessly move around the Kyutama as different movements launch different actions. She also says that her, Champ and Spada have practiced a lot to get it right. Much to her surprise Lucky nails it in his first try. TV STORY-Shishi Red & Chameleon Green Chapter
Lucky acted as a judge for Balance and Naga Rei as they practiced performing a Star Change roll call. The duo tries it the first time, but Lucky rejected it. Then they tried again a few more times only to fail. Their last attempt, which is their standard roll call, earns Lucky's applause. TV STORY-Tenbin Gold & Hebitsukai Silver Chapter
Chou Super Hero Taisen
Lucky led the five-man team sent by Shou Ronbou to capture Poppy Pipopapo, leading the Kyurangers into a confrontation with the Kamen Rider doctor trio. Lucky fought one-on-one against Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Action Gamer Level 2 before the fight was interrupted by the Galaxian ships.
Later, all nine Kyurangers joined the Chou Shocker Taisen with various Sentai Rangers and Kamen Riders fighting against the Shocker army of the Game World led by Shocker Leader III. Through use of the Futago Kyutama, the complete team fought using a duplicated KyurenOh utilizing all nine Voyagers against the Big Moraimarz Robo piloted by the Oogumo Great Leader, whom they vanquished by fighting alongside the enlarged Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Maximum Gamer Level 99.

Personality
Lucky is naive, optimistic, determined, and hyperactive. He has a habit of saying "Yossha lucky!" whenever something good happens, which is often due to his amazing luck. Lucky is incredibly strong-willed, both in his ideals and his goals: he has a tendency to make decisions with barely any evidence and believe in their plausibility no matter how much the facts suggest otherwise. This, combined with his naivety, makes him come across as immature and stupid. However, he has solid instincts and a logic to his actions, paying attention to things that others do not.
He is overdependent on his luck, and quickly became insecure and even panic when his luck ran out, this becoming apparent when he was defeated by Ikargen. In truth, this all stems from his traumatic childhood in the past, leading him to believe that he was born unlucky. In turn, his frequent shouts of "Yossha lucky!" serve as a form of encouragement to himself as he tries his best to stay positive and uphold his unwavering belief in good fortune. He later manages to regain his confidence, which helps him in defeating Ikargen.
Powers and Abilities
- Devil's Luck
- The most notable of Lucky's abilities is his extraordinary luck which provides unintentional benefits to him and his allies. It is so great to the point that he has survived when falling from orbit and pinpoint the remaining Kyuranger in a short amount of time when the Rebellion that had been searching them for long was unable to do so. Furthermore, he himself claimed to be the luckiest man in the universe. Unfortunately, by episode 11, it ran out, rendering him powerless. After a talk with Shou Ronbou and Garu, Lucky regained the confidence he lost and regained his status as the Luckiest Man in the Universe.
- Immeasurable Dream
- His dream of freeing the universe from Jark Matter's domination is so vast that the dream-eating Yumepakkun died trying to consume it.

Behind the Scenes
- Of the 88 modern constellations, he represents Leo, "The Lion".
- His finisher "Regulus Impact" refers to the star Regulus, the brightest of the Leo constellation.
Portrayal
- Lucky is portrayed by Takumi Kizu. As Shishi Red, his suit actor is Masashi Takada, whose previous role was Zyuoh TheWorld and Cube Gorilla in Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger.
Notes
- Shishi Red's Pegasus Mode pays homage to Pegasus Seiya, the main character from the manga/anime series Saint Seiya, that also has a constellation motif. The Pegasus crest on his armor is similar in color and design to the one seen in the Pegasus cloth's box.
- Furthermore Lucky becoming Pegasus Shishi Red could be a reference to the senpai-kohai relationship between Leo Aiolia and Pegasus Seiya.
- Shishi Red is the first Red Ranger to have a lion-motiff since GaoRed.
- Lucky is also the first Post Anniversary Sentai Red to have a Lion motif.
- Lucky is the second Kyuranger to use more than 1 of the Kyu The Weapon's modes the first was Balance (Tenbin Gold) the only difference between the two is that Lucky didn't have a problem with the mode he used where as Balance complained about the weight of the Kyu Sword.
- Lucky's prefered Kyu The Weapon mode (Kyu Sword) is the only one out of its nine modes that uses all of the attachable pieces.
- Lucky's catchphrase Alright, Lucky and his pre-battle saying Lets Test Your Luck might be a reference to Horoscopes as they use constellations to tell a person the kind of fortune they will have.
- His backstory of being transported from his own planet is somehow similar to Kal-El/Superman.
- Similar to Ryouma, he is a fire-themed Red Ranger with a lion motif.
