Notes
An early version of the Battle Fever suits.
- During early promotions for Battle Fever J, Battle Japan had yellow eyes, rather than the finalized black.
Battle Japan Zyudenchi
- Battle Japan represents Battle Fever J for the Battle Fever J Zyudenchi that was released as part of the Legend Sentai Zyudenchi line of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.
Battle Japan as the first official Red with RyuuRanger, the then current Red, in a stage show commercial aired during Dairanger.
- Until Kakuranger, Masao was technically the first Super Sentai Red, as the first two Super Sentai series, Gorenger and JAKQ, were not officially part of the Super Sentai series until Toei included them when Ohranger was announced. Akarenger of Gorenger is now the first Red.
