Biography

Abaranger

Ryouga Hakua is the 22 old optimistic team leader, a certified environmental protection investigator from the United States. Though he's overly confident, he has an extremely good nature and is friendly, warm hearted, and loving; he doesn't hate anyone. He was given guardianship of Mai after his brother and sister-in-law died and does his best to raise her. He eventually gained the power to become AbareMax. In the epilogue, he has returned to the USA, and travels across the country along with Mai.

Gokaiger

Years later, Ryouga 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 Zgormin 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.

After the defeat of Ackdos Gill, the Gokaigers returned all the Ranger Keys to the former Sentai heroes. It is assumed Ryouga and his teammates received their keys allowing for them to utilize their powers once again.

Super Hero Taisen

Ryouga, alongside Yukito and Ranru (AbareBlack and AbareKiller were absent), among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker.

AbaRed

Ranger Key

The AbaRed Ranger Key (アバレッドレンジャーキー, AbaReddo Renjā Kī^?) is Ryouga Hakua'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 AbaRed Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as AbaRed.

• When the original three Gokaigers became the Abarangers while fighting Action Commanders Satarakura Jr. and Sandaaru Jr.. Ep. 25: Pirates and Ninjas
• When the Gokaigers became the Abarangers while fighting Action Commander Daiyarl. Ep. 29: The Abare Quick-Changing New Combination

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

Red Spirit

As the twenty-seventh Red, AbaRed's Red Warrior Spirit was embodied by AkaRed.

In his role call, he briefly changed to GaoRed, HurricaneRed, AbaRed, DekaRed, MagiRed, then back to himself as a demonstration of his power.

While fighting alongside Bouken Red against Time Demon God Chronos. AkaRed recreated AbaRed's Tyranno Rod to use against Chronos while Bouken Red wielded his Bouken Javelin. GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai

Behind the scenes

Portrayal

Ryouga Hakua is portrayed by Koichiro Nishi (西 興一朗, Nishi Kōichirō^?). As AbaRed, his suit actor was Hirofumi Fukuzawa (福沢 博文, Fukuzawa Hirofumi^?).

Notes

• Ryouga's surname come from "Hakuaki" (白亜紀), the term for the Cretaceous Period.
• The reason Ryouga's Ranger name is AbaRed and not AbareRed is because "Abare" and "red" share the same "re" kana, so it would be rather redundant to use the same kana twice.
• Some fans consider AbareMax as a Sixth Ranger (most likely because he has his own changer and mech), despite AbareMax being just a power up for Ryouga.
• If you count one peculiar situation, Ryouga is the only Red of the ten preceding ones to not appear in Gokaiger.
