Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger (忍風戦隊ハリケンジャー, Ninpū Sentai Harikenjā, ) is Toei's twenty-sixth production of the Super Sentai television series. The catchphrase for the series is "Unknown even to others, unknown even to the world, we become shadows to defeat evil!" (人も知らず 世も知らず 影となりて悪を討つ！, Hito mo shirazu, yo mo shirazu, kage to narite aku o utsu!). Its footage was used in the American series, Power Rangers Ninja Storm (the end credits listed the show as titled Hurricane Rangers). On April 1, 2013, Shun Shioya, Nao Nagasawa, Kohei Yamamoto, and Yujiro Shirakawa, who played Hurricane Red, Hurricane Blue, Hurricane Yellow, and Kabuto Raijer, respectively, announced that a 10th anniversary V-Cinema release called Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: 10 Years After would be produced. This is the first time a movie has been made commemorating the anniversary of a single Sentai series. The movie would be a direct to DVD and Blu-ray release.

But because their sensei believes they have potential he regularly spends the morning personally and rigorously training them. While the other students are having their graduation ceremony a group of evil space ninjas known as the Jakanja infiltrate the school killing most of the students. The school's sensei, Mugensai, turns himself into a hamster to evade his pursuers. The trio is then taken to a secret base to become the legendary Hurricanegers to fight Jakanja.
