Introduction to 'No.1 Sentai Gozyuger'
In the distant past, a great battle known as the "Universe War" erupted between all Super Sentai robots and a colossal "calamity." This war, later called the "Universal Great War," was brought to an end by a giant deity named Tega Sword. This transcendent being, imbued with the power of all Super Sentai, fell into slumber after sustaining injuries.
Hoeru Tono, a young man drifting between part-time jobs, finds himself fired once again. Around the same time, the mysterious organization "Bladen" begins attacking Earth to awaken Tega Sword. Suddenly, Tono is enveloped in a strange space where he encounters Tega Sword. He learns that gathering special "rings" will grant him any wish. Without a specific wish in mind, Tono resolves to aim for the "Number One" and fights as Gozyu Wolf against bladen. What wish will Tono eventually discover? And who are the other ring warriors?

Main Characters in 'No.1 Sentai Gozyuger'
Gozyu Wolf / Hoeru Tono
A rough-mannered, sharp-tongued fighter with unmatched strength. Though impulsive and hard to approach, he has a kind heart at his core. A loner with no family or friends, Tono's reckless behavior often gets him fired from jobs, earning him the nickname "Lone Drifter Part-Timer." Due to a past incident, he has lived without any "wish" to fulfill, making him indifferent to personal desires. When getting psyched up (such as during transformations), he has a signature routine of howling.
Gozyu Leon / Rikuo Byakuya
A genius idol brimming with charisma and charm, kind to both men and women alike. Known as a "former superstar idol," he became a drifter after being expelled from his agency following a certain incident. A skilled manipulator and strategist, Byakua exudes confidence, though it is backed by relentless effort.
Gozyu Tyrano / Ryugi Bakugami
A devout follower of Tega Sword, he finds ultimate happiness in serving the deity. His sole wish is Tega Sword’s happiness, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. Though incredibly naive and unfazed by social norms, his overwhelming strength ensures he can handle most situations. Raised in a strict household, Bakugami left his family behind upon discovering Tega Sword, which led to him being labeled an outcast due to his unusual faith.
Gozyu Eagle / Kinjiro Takehara
A high-energy, quick-footed "party high schooler." Estranged from his family, he doesn't let it bother him much. Beneath his carefree exterior, he is actually a serious individual, but he strives to reinvent himself as a vibrant "party person," which motivates his daily actions.
Gozyu Unicorn / Sumino Ichikawa
Cool-headed yet capable of using charm as a weapon when necessary. She once aspired to join the police and attended a police academy but became alienated from her colleagues after a particular incident, which turned her into an outcast. Now a renowned "high-class private detective," she takes on part-time jobs when detective work is slow.
