Characters

Ozu Family

Five children (three brothers and two sisters) lived peacefully with their mother. They were told that their father died in an expedition in Antarctica. But upon learning the truth, their mother revealed to them their family legacy. The family name, originally written in kanji as 小津, is possibly in homage to the The Wizard of Oz stories, as it shares the same romaji, Ozu.

Miyuki Ozu/MagiMother: A strong, gentle, ideal mother. She raised her five children alone after their father disappeared. She kept many secrets from them, not the least of which was the truth about herself. She was a sorceress, wielding the power of ice magic from a long line of magicians who protect the world from the Infershia. She wore white armor with a snowflake emblem on her helmet and wand. She was seemingly killed by Wolzard. Only her MagiStick remained.

Kai Ozu/MagiRed: The youngest, a wizard who has power over fire. He's a sophmore student who's into soccer and fights a lot with Tsubasa. He's straightforward and is impulsive, which often leads to him making mistakes. He hates to be babied and wants to be treated like an adult. He has a special talent for inventing things.

Tsubasa Ozu/MagiYellow: The 4th born, a wizard who wields the power of thunder & lightning. He's intuitive, a realist and usually rational. He looks at life crossways, is a bit closed in himself, cynical and sarcastic.

Urara Ozu/MagiBlue: The 3rd born, a sorceress with power over the water. She has a gentle heart, acting like mother sometimes. She's a passive sort, listening to the others and holding her tongue, hiding her own feelings of hurt and distress until they boil over and she explodes.

Houka Ozu/MagiPink: The 2nd born, a sorceress with power over the wind. She is cheerful and flighty, stringing along several boyfriends. She has a narrow focus, though, and can be a troublemaker. She works as a fashion model when she feel like it. She also has a talent for transformation magic, turning herself into any thing she can think up.

Makito Ozu/MagiGreen: The oldest of the five, a wizard who wields the power of the over the earth. He spent his life growing vegetables on his property, Aniki Farm, and cooking delicious meals with his own hands. He's usually a cheerful fellow, but moves along at a rather slow pace, taking it easy through life. However, he does have a nasty temper and can get on people's nerves. He tends to be like a father to his siblings.

Help

Mandora-Boy: A young Mandrake the MagiRangers met when they find their secret headquarters. Despite being in a pot, he can hop around.

Yamazaki: A girl Kai met one day.

Majin

When facing giant Darkness Beasts, the Majirangers press a special code on their MagiPhones: "107" (Maagi Magi Magika) to transform into giant armored forms.

MagiKing: The Majin perform "Magin Gattai" (Magin Combination) when they dial 1205 (Maagi Jiruma Magi Jinga) to invoke . He wields the MagiCalber sword that is used in his "Magical Climax" finisher. Wolzard sealed MagiKing and took its power for his own, until FireKaizer destroyed the seal.
- MagiPhoenix: MagiRed's Majin Form. Wields the Phoenix Sword.
- MagiDragon: Its four components combine when they dial 125 (Maagi Jiruma Jinga) on their MagiPhone. MagiPhoenix rides it into battle.
  - MagiGaruda: MagiYellow's Majin form. His arms, Garuda Wing, can be be used as weapons.
  - MagiMinotaur: MagiGreen's Majin Form. He wields the Taurus Axe.
  - MagiMermaid: MagiBlue's Majin Form. She wields the Mermaid Lance & can fuse her legs into a fish-tail.
  - MagiFairy: MagiPink's Majin Form. She wields the Fairy Cutter & can turn into the Majiren Ball the others use in attacks.

Valykion: Horse-like Majuu, serves under Wolzard. It appears from the ground when summoned. After Kai selflessly saved the creature's life, Valykion helped the MagiRangers regain their MagiKing powers. As Wolzard revealed, Valykion only combines with whoever it acknowledges as a great warrior worthy to unite with.

- WolKentaurus: Wolzard fuses with Valkion when he utters "Uuza. Douza. Zanga".
- WolKaizer: When he utters "Uuza. Douza. Uru. Zanga", Valykion becomes an suit of armor around Wolzard.

FireKaizer: A combination, though rare, that results from the fusion of MagiPhoenix with Valykion. The spell used is 2105 (Jiruma Maagi Magi Jinga) to invoke "Yuujou Gattai" (Friendship Combination). His weapon is a staff made of Valykion's mane and head, using it in his "Fire Spin Blade" attack.

Infershia

The Infershia are from the Kedamono Empire at the center of the Earth, which was ruled by the mysterious SoMa. Years ago, they were beaten and sealed within the Earth. Now that they are free, they intend to conquer the surface world.

Power General Branken: The high commander, though it seemed Wolzard was calling the shots. This sparks a rivalry between them as Wolzard seemed to had left Branken trapped in the seal. Half machine, Branken has no tolerance for failure. He carries a blade made from SoMa's fang. He sent Vamcula and the Darkness Beasts to find a way to bring him up to the surface world.

Vamcula: The Infershia's spy, a bat-like demon who can fly and split herself into the Nightmare Sisters. She has a bit of a crush on Branken. With the help of Leech, Vamcula had the vampirized Houka under her control until Tsubasa and the other MagiRangers broke the spell on their sister and finally ended Vamcula's winning streak over them.
- NightMare Sisters Nai & Mea: Mischievous vampirish girls dressed in Gothic Lolita attire. They usually cause trouble for Magirangers any chance they get. They can shoot bolts of energy out of their mouths. Nai seem to be the 'older sister' as Mea tends to only repeat a portion of what Nai has just said.

Evil Knight Wolzard: A mysterious figure who seems to have a great deal of knowledge about the MagiRangers, refered as the most important member of the Infershia. He was responsible for breaking the seal and seems to be the only one of the Infershia who actually uses magic. He carries the WolSabre and the Jagan Shield (made from SoMa's eye). He can enlarge himself and combine with Valykion to become either WolKentaurus or WolKaizer.

High Zobil: A higher ranked Zobil who leads the others.

Zobil: Corpse-like soldiers who wield axes.

Darkness Beasts

The monsters that fight the MagiRangers. The first three were naturally giant, but the rest were human size when first depicted. When these human-sized Darkness Beasts are killed, Wolzard uses a spell that resurrects the monsters & makes them grow.

Troll (1, 9): A giant beast whose appearence results in the Oz Siblings learning the truth of their family as their mother froze the beast with her powers and shattered him. Another Troll appears later and was killed by the MagiRangers. He was later resurrected by Wolzard and used the MagiKing powers to turn the monster into StoneTroll, but he was finally destroyed by FireKaizer and the powers of MagiKing are returned to the MagiRangers.

Blob (2): A giant monster who devours MagiRed and MagiGreen, only to sneeze them out thanks to MagiPink. He was destroyed by the Majin.

Worm (3): A huge eight-headed worm which was defeated by MagiDragon.

Cockatrice (4): Turns people into a statues which it eats at its leisure. After it turned MagiBlue into an statue, MagiRed used his sister's mirror in the next battle to turn the monster's attack against it. MagiRed used his fire attack and shattered the pertified Cockatrice into many stone pieces. But Wolzard used his dark magic to resurrect the monster and enlarge it. This Darkness Beast was the first to be defeated by MagiKing.

Mimic (5): Nai and Mea's pet Darkness Beast, able to take on a Taxi-style form. Its loyalty to the Nightmare Sisters was used against it when MagiPink took on the guise of Vamcula and lured the monster into a trap she and the others set up.

Fungus (7): A mushroom-based monster who can shoot spore gases from its body at its victims.

Manticore (8): Possessed the power to make people dance against their will so that he could eat them once they were exhausted. He had a fascination with MagiBlue and MagiPink, targeting their brothers. He was defeated by the girls when they perform their "Magical Sisters' Dance" attack.

Petit Jericho(10): A cactus-based monster.

Leech (11): Used by Nai and Mea when they posed as the rock band "Bloody Nightmare Sunday", it sucked blood out of people through its tendrils to turn them into vampires. Houka was unknowingly turned into a vampire by him. Once it was destroyed by Magiking, all its victims returned to normal, except Houka.

Ogre (13): The third strongest monster to be in Branken's contest for ideal monsters to find the "Key" and destroy the MagiRangers.

Ghoul (14): The second strongest monster to go after the "Key", a lupine-like beast with spikes on its back and metal boxing gloves. Wolzard acknowledged the monster as a warrior. While strong, its power increased when it absorbed Ogre's power. It fell to MagiRed using the new MagiGloves, using its attack to incinerate Ghoul with a super flaming punch.

????? (15): A skull-faced monster, the strongest monster sent to find the "Key".
