Previous Shinkengers
- Masataka Shiba / Shinken Red XVII : Takeru's Father, gave young Takeru the Sisi Origami and died.
- Ryuzaburo Ikenami / Shinken Blue XVII : Ryuzaburo Ikenami is Ryunosuke's father and the previous Shinken Blue, his teacher in both the ways of kabuki and bushidō.
- Kyoko Shiraishi / Shinken Pink XVII : Mako's mother and the previous Shinken Pink, Kyoko was gravely injured during her group's final battle with Doukoku. Now a paraplegic, Mamoru had brought her with him to Hawaii to aid in her recovery.
- Kurando Tani / Shinken Green XVII : Kurando Tani is Chiaki's father and the previous Shinken Green. He was supposed to teach Chiaki the ways of bushidō, but instead of putting Chiaki through rigorous training, raised him to be a cheerful boy.
- Shinken Yellow : Is the title given to one of four retainer families that have served the lord/lady of the Shiba clan, Shinken Red, throughout the generations in the Samurai Sentai Shinkenger. There have been eighteen Shinken Yellows since the formation of the Shinkengers.
Present Shinkengers:
- Takeru Shiba / Shinken Red XIX : Is a young man descended from feudal lords, referred by his vassals and servants as Lord. He was raised since childhood by Hikoma Kusakabe to act the role of the 18th head of the Shiba House after his father gave him the Sisi Origami.
- Ryunosuke Ikenami / Shinken Blue XVIII : Is a young man who gave up becoming a kabuki actor to answer the call of serving the Shiba House. Due to his parents' upbringing, he is extremely enthusiastic and takes his role as Takeru's vassal seriously.
- Mako Shiraishi / Shinken Pink XVIII : Is a strong-willed girl who fights for her ideals. She loves children and worked at a kindergarten prior to becoming a Shinkenger. When she was a little girl, her childhood was pushed aside when her parents moved to Hawaii without a word and left her in the care of her grandmother.
- Chiaki Tani / Shinken Green XVIII : Is a lazy, irresponsible, selfish, and arrogant rebel. Initially, Chiaki had no interest in becoming Takeru's vassal and often clashed with him. The only reason he even worked with Takeru was because he thought it would be fun and he wanted to protect people.
- Kotoha Hanaori / Shinken Yellow XVIII : Is a clumsy and gentle girl who worked in a bamboo shop and speaks with a Kyoto accent. Very much a crybaby as a child, she is close to her older sister, Mitsuba, who had been training to be Shinken Yellow. When Mitsuba became ill and unable to serve as Takeru's vassal, Kotoha stepped up to take her place.
- Genta Umemori / Shinken Gold : Is the son of a sushi chef who mysteriously disappeared prior to the beginning of the series, and a childhood friend of Takeru's. As a child, Genta often meddled in Takeru's training, which annoyed Hikoma greatly. Genta promised to help Takeru become a samurai, and in return, Takeru entrusted him with the Ika Disk.
Others:
- Princess Kaoru Shiba / Shinken Red XVIII : Is the true 18th head of the Shiba House, a position that Takeru was holding in her place. She is referred to by her vassals and servants as Princess.
- Toshizo Tanba : Is Kaoru's retainer, arrogant and fiercely loyal to Kaoru, he is highly contemptuous of Takeru and, by extension, Hikoma, and demands that the Shinkengers support Kaoru without question.
- Hikoma Kusakabe : Is Takeru's retainer and guardian. He also serves as the Shinkengers' mentor; it is he who gathered the four vassals when the Gedoushu revived. The Shinkengers affectionately call him Jii, translated as Old man or Samurai. Every year, he gets one day off, which he uses to visit his wife's grave and visit his daughter and granddaughter.
- Richard Brown : Is a foreigner who comes to idolize the Shinkengers after he is cured of the Yamiororo Poison in Act 7. He approaches Ryunosuke and asks to become his pupil in the ways of bushidō. Although Ryunosuke tries to deter Mr. Brown from becoming a samurai, his attempts fail and Ryunosuke is nearly killed after he must rescue Mr. Brown after a failed attack on Hachouchin.
