Mugensai, who has turned himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers, and his daughter Oboro Hinata recruit the trio to become the legendary Hurricanegers to fight Jakanja.

While transformed, each member carries a Hayatemaru (ハヤテ丸) sidearm, which can switch between its ninjatō-like Cut Mode (斬モード, Zan Mōdo) and its rifle-like Shoot Mode (射モード, Sha Mōdo). They also ride Hurricane Winger (ハリケンウインガー, Hariken Uingā) hang gliders for transportation. By combining their personal weapons, they form the Triple Gadget (トリプルガジェット, Toripuru Gajetto), which has three modes that can perform a different finisher depending on which weapon is used as the front piece, to destroy human-sized Jakanja members.

The leader of the team, his courageous determination making up for his slow-thinking. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, while aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Yosuke became a handyman who travels around the world. During his travels, six months prior to the events of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Yosuke befriends Tenkai and is forced by Bat Ze Runba to attack Space Unified Ninja School branches and steal his teammates' Shinobi Medals. But with his friends' help, Yosuke frees Tenkai and becomes a mentor to the boy.

Kota Bito (尾藤 吼太, Bitō Kōta)
A firm believer in planning whose friendly nature allows him to work at a daycare center. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers and then the Gokaigers, Kota married and had a daughter named Suzune (鈴音) as well as a son named Riku (陸). Though he attempted to conceal his activities as ninja from his family, Kota considers telling them the truth after the events of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After.
As the "Earth Ninja" (陸忍, Oka'nin), Hurricane Yellow (ハリケンイエロー, Hariken Ierō), Kouta wields the Quake Hammer (クエイクハンマー, Kueiku Hanmā), which allows the Triple Gadget's Quake Gadget (クエイクガジェット, Kueiku Gajetto) mode to materialize a 100-ton spherical weight.

Gouraigers
The Lightning Speed Gouraiger (電光石火ゴウライジャー, Denkōsekka Gōraijā) are two brothers who are the surviving students of the Ikazuchi Way (迅雷流, Ikazuchi-ryū) ninja academy, Ikazuchi Gijuku (迅雷義塾), originally the enemies of the Hurricanegers who join the Jakanja despite having wiped out the Ikazuchi Way's Ninja Academy which left the Kasumi brothers as the only survivors. The brothers obtained the forbidden Gouraiger system from their father, Ikki Kasumi (霞 一鬼, Kasumi Ikki), a rogue ninja who abused them. Ikki went against the Ikazuchi Way's wishes to obtain the Evil Will after learning of it during his mission in Egypt and learned of the "Final Secret" at the time of a meteor shower. He went against his school's wishes by creating the Gouraiger system and making his sons kill each other to evoke it while making them believe that rage and hatred would only promote strength. Though they eventually allied themselves with the Hurricanegers, the Kasumi brothers were unable to completely forsake their father's cruel teachings and have a jaded view on life. The two work as construction workers before parting ways after the final battle with the Jakanja. They represent the Ikazuchi Heart embodying the "Bonds of the Past".
The Gouraigers transform by utilizing Shinobi Medals in conjunction with Gourai Changer (ゴウライチェンジャー, Gōrai Chenjā) bracelets.

When facing enlarged Jakanja members, the Gouraigers summon and combine their Shinobi Machines to form Gouraijin (轟雷神, Gōraijin) via Thunderclap Combination (迅雷合体, Ikazuchi Gattai). Alternatively, it can combine with Senpuujin and a Karakuri Ball (カラクリボール, Karakuri Bōru) combination known as Fuuraimaru (風雷丸, Fūraimaru) to form Gourai Senpuujin (轟雷旋風神, Gōrai Senpūjin) via School Transcendence Wind-Thunder Combination (流派超越風雷合体, Ryūha Chōetsu Fūrai Gattai) as well as ride the Revolver Mammoth (リボルバーマンモス, Riborubā Manmosu) mecha in the Revolver Gourai Senpuujin (リボルバー轟雷旋風神, Riborubā Gōrai Senpūjin) formation.
Ikkou Kasumi (霞 一甲, Kasumi Ikkō)
The older brother of Isshu who originally intended to make Ikazuchi the greatest ninja school using the Evil Will. But he abandoned it and decides to support the Hurricanegers, becoming Yosuke's rival while making a mortal enemy out of Manmaruba when the alien sought revenge against the Kasumi brothers for making a fool out of him. Long after the Jakanja's defeat, aiding the Abarangers prior to becoming estranged from his brother, Ikkou becomes a member of the JunRetsu singing group. During the events of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, Ikkou helps Yosuke remember the good they did together before helping him save Tenkai.
As the crimson-colored "Horned Ninja" (角忍, Tsuno'nin), Kabuto Raiger (カブトライジャー, Kabuto Raijā), Ikkou wields the Horn Breaker (ホーンブレイカー, Hōn Bureikā) raygun. He also pilots the Gourai Beetle (ゴウライビートル, Gōrai Bītoru) Shinobi Machine, which forms the upper half of Gouraijin.
Isshu Kasumi (霞 一鍬, Kasumi Isshū)
The younger brother of Ikkou who originally resented his school for staying in the shadows, idolizing his brother and respecting most of his decisions. But he took the fact they were not rebuilding their ninja school personally until he found the resting place of his father's blade, the double-bladed Kiraimaru (鬼雷丸)naginata. Desiring to rebuild the Ikazuchi School, Isshu used the blade with disastrous results. After learning to use the Kiraimaru in a way where his friends would not be harmed, Isshu decides to rebuild the school after Jakanja is defeated. By the events of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, having left Ikkou's shadow, Isshu became a lady's man and eventually made peace with his brother.
As the navy blue-colored "Fanged Ninja" (牙忍, Kiba'nin), Kuwaga Raiger (クワガライジャー, Kuwaga Raijā), Isshu wields the Stag Breaker (スタッグブレイカー, Sutaggu Bureikā) claw, which can combine with the Ikazuchimaru to form the Ikazuchi Breaker (イカヅチブレイカー, Ikazuchi Bureikā) naginata. He also pilots the Gourai Stag (ゴウライスタッグ, Gōrai Sutaggu) Shinobi Machine, which forms the lower half of Gouraijin.
Shurikenger
Shurikenger (シュリケンジャー, Shurikenjā) is a moniker utilized by its original user and his successor. As the green-colored "Sky Ninja" (天空忍者, Tenkū Ninja), they utilize the Shuriken Ball (シュリケンボール, Shuriken Bōru) device to transform and wield the Shuriken's Bat (シュリケンズバット, Shurikenzu Batto) sidearm, which can switch between its katana-like Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo) and its club-like Bat Mode (バットモード, Batto Mōdo), and the string instrument-like Ninjamisen (ニンジャミセン) handgun, which can combine with one of the team's sidearms to access varying sonic weapon-like Tuning (チューニング, Chūningu) modes. They can also assume Fire Mode (ファイヤーモード, Faiyā Mōdo) by rotating the top of their helmet while removing the weight inhibitor serving as chest armor to increase their physical abilities.
When facing enlarged Jakanja members, Shurikenger summons and changes their swallow-themed Tenkuujin (天空神, Tenkūjin) Shinobi Machine from its helicopter-like Flight Mode (飛行モード, Hikō Mōdo) to its humanoid Robo Mode (ロボモード, Robo Mōdo) via Soaring Transformation (飛翔変形, Hishō Henkei).

Shurikenger
The original Shurikenger, also known as the "Man with a Thousand Faces" (千の顔を持つ男, Sen no Kao o Motsu Otoko), was an ex-student of the Hayate-Style's Ninja Academy who became Kagura's personal fighter while renouncing his name and face as he is permanently transformed into his costumed form. A somewhat comical figure, Shurikenger often used broken English phrases including the famous "I am Ninja of Ninja!" and also often poorly mixes both Japanese and English into his sentences. He usually disguises himself as a 'regular' person until he reverts to his true form with the Shuriken Ball when confronted by Jakanja. Though Shurikenger seemed to have died after being mortally wounded by Sandaru and using Tenkuujin to take out Satorakura, he mysteriously reappears to aid his allies and the Abarangers, and is last seen overseeing the Ninningers' progress under the request of Toha Yamaji.
Tenkai (天界)
A mysterious 10-year-old boy who appears exclusively in Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After, taken under Yosuke's wing as a traveling companion six months prior as he lacked any memory of his life beforehand. But upon being kidnapped by Bat Ze Runba, he is revealed to be the embodiment of the Great Force that manifested after the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers defeated Tau Zanto. Though Runba succeeded in awakening the Great Force, Tenkai manages to suppress it and gains the ability to become the new Shurikenger with the resolve to use his powers for good as he becomes Yosuke's apprentice. Unlike his predecessor, though he possesses the same capabilities, Tenkai does not use broken English phrases in his sentences. He can also combine his Ninjamisen and the Hurricanegers and Gouraigers' Victory Gadget to form the Final Gadget (ファイナルガジェット, Fainaru Gajetto).

Despite his form, he can fight and communicated with Kagura before she revealed herself.

Kagura's prolonged life is due to Dark Stone (闇石, Yami Ishi) embedded on her forehead, the item revealed to be the Grieving Bow (嘆きの弓, Nageki no Yumi) which the Earth ninjas' technology is derived from.

Each one leads their own Ninja Corps. Their goal is to bring Earth to ruins to invoke "it" (アレ, Are), the "Evil Force" (邪悪なる意志, Jaakunaru Ishi) that would form in the depths of the ocean before destroying the universe. But when Tau Zanto assumes his ultimate form the Centipede is destroyed in the transformation, Furabiijo and Wendinu are among the survivors that also include the Reverse Seven Spears.

While Hurricane Red averted Ikkou's death, Manmaruba creates a stronger clone of himself to continue in his place. The new Manmaruba's psychic power allows him to see a meteor shower allowing him to fully reveal the means to acquire the Evil Force, but the exposure mutates him into the mindless scorpion monster Manmaruba Reckless Form (マンマルバ暴走体, Manmaruba Bōsōtai) that is destroyed by Tenrai Senpuujin.

A snake ninja art mistress of disguise who appears on Earth with Furabiijo as the one who enlarges the Space Ninjas, occasionally called by her partner as "Wendy".

In that crazed state of mind, Wendinu destroys an entire planet single-handedly. After Manmaruba's death, Wendinu follows her own plan in setting up her own Wendinu Cram School scheme using brainwashed children to kill the ninja for her. In the process, she falls head over heels in love with a young man named Hashimoto. Once her plan failed Wendinu's rage reaches its zenith and she grows, overpowering the Karakuri Giants until the presence of Hashimoto causes her to shrink back to normal size. Following the series finale, assumed to have been killed, Wendinu and Furabiijo ended up on Dino Earth where they attempted to ally themselves with the Evolians during the events of Abaranger vs. Hurricaneger.

Satarakura was stopped by the Earth ninjas but Tau Zant saves him to preserve the Jaykumu Gun as it fused to his arm and drained him of his own energy. Taking advantage Satarakura uses the energy of the Jakyumu Gun to overpower the ninjas and take their energy. Sandaaru arrives once the Jakyumu Gun's energy pack is full and takes it before attempting to kill Satarakura.
