Icon-kakurangerThis article is about a mentor in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.

"Fools you are, indeed. Lettin' that money blind you. Beyond that door lies all the energy of the Yokai. If it escapes, we're all finished. The Yokai'll regain thier power once more, and the world'll be thrown into chaos again."
―Sandayuu's first known words to Sasuke and Saizou about the Seal Door.[src]

"Ye."
―Sandayuu's catchphrase that appeared in many of his sentences.[src]

"My lord, is this how you wished it?"
―Sandayuu's final words before his death.[src]

Sandayuu Momochi (百地三太夫 Momochi Sandayu) was a ninja master who acted as the mentor to the Kakurangers.

History[]

Past[]

Nothing is known about Sandayuu's origins. Sandayuu speaks in the Sanuki dialect which originates in the Kagawa Prefecture of Japan.

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger[]

Sandayuu is known to be legendary but mysterious ninja master with unlimited magical powers who has a strange habit of appearing and disappearing at will but usually appears to instruct the Kakurangers on their abilities. Sandayuu is casual in his actions, often saying "ye" in his sentences, but is considered extremely dangerous by the Youkai Army Corps.

Sandayuu first appears to Sasuke and Saizou crosslegged on a cloud to warn them about the consequences of opening the Seal Door which they are tricked into opening by Kappa and releasing the Yokai into the human world. He later brings the two of them to where their ancestor’s swords are placed in the earth which allows them to gain their Kakuranger powers. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 1: It's Ninja

Sandayuu continues to appear to give the Kakurangers advice and tools, such as Nekomaru and Hikarimaru (sent via Tsubasamaru). He also provides Sasuke with the scroll for Giant Beast General Red Saruder.

Sandayuu is eventually killed after he is impaled on his own sword by Junior and collapses in the countryside, managing to hang on until the Kakurangers return from having killed Junior. In his final moments, he spots Hakumenrou standing on a nearby rooftop and laments how he had been doomed to die before he dies in Sasuke's arms. Tvicon TV STORY-Ep. 31: Behold!! A New Shogun
