The Youkai Army Corps (妖怪軍団, Yōkai Gundan^?, Apparition Army Corps) are the main antagonists in the 1994 Super Sentai series Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. They were sealed away 400 years ago by the Kakurangers' ancestors and have now changed their forms to keep up with the times.

However, though Super Kakure DaiShogun destroyed the Seal and canceled the ceremony, thus setting all victims free, the Seal reformed itself and Daimaou emerges, turning the altar into his base of operations before later using a giant flying skull castle with wing-like ears as his lair. He later declared the time of darkness, creating Daradara to aid him to drown the world in darkness before Daradara was destroyed. After his brother and sister were defeated, Daimaou was the only Youkai left to deal with the Kakurangers. However, Daimaou, being the embodiment of all evil, couldn't be destroyed or his influence would spread worldwide. In the finale, when he grew giant, the Sanshinshou and Ninjaman used their powers to shrink him, allowing the Kakurangers to seal him back into the cave where the other Youkai are/were entombed.

In Episode 23, he revealed his true form to the Kakurangers and, in Episode 24, he managed to defeat them in battle. In his true form, usually evoked when he gets pumped up about something, Gasha Dokuro is a skeleton Youkai wearing an army helmet, half of his body is white while the other half matches his helmet and is camouflage.

Extremely effective, he has had a long staying power than most Youkai and less than his father, who contacted Junior and demanded plans for his release. Junior carries it out, defeating the Juusho Fighters and stopping them from summoning Invicnible Shogun before using his power to take the skull-like altar he created on a building and the surrounding district into the sky beyond the Kakurangers' reach. From there he used his music to turn those trapped on it into stone to serve as materials for Daimaoh's revival. While Gasha Dokuro appears to be completely heartless to even his lackeys and more relentless in combat, he does have some respect for the Kakuranger, as seen when he allowed his Dorodoros to give water to the Kappa-ized Seikai and Saizou to fight Nue. Once all the Kakurangers had obtained the Shinobi Scrolls, Junior assumes his true form to battle the Chounin Beasts, and was overpowered by them until Hakamenrou intervened.

The fact that he had to be saved by the very human whom Daimaou prizes above him, drove Junior to uncover Hakamenrou enlisting Sandayuu to help stage his fight.

Taking over the noble's fight with Saizou and Sekai, Nue used his feather shurikens to turn the two into Kappas to halt their Shinobi Scroll search. The stunt forced a maddened Saizou and Seikai to almost kill each other, but the two overcame their plight in time to force Nue to change them back. Though Nue easily overpowered them, Saizou and Sekai refused to give up and managed to defeat the Youkai.

Kasabake almost gained the scroll, were it not for Jirou and Tarou's intervention. Once obtaining her scroll and words of encouragement, Tsuruhime faced a giant Kasabake with the aid of God Kark and managed to wound him until Super Invincible Shougun arrived to destroy Kasabake.
• Nuppefuhofu (ヌッペフホフ, Nuppefuhofu^?, 32, 53): A youkai who can steal people's faces simply by licking their faces. The wings on its back also seemed to act like a jack-o-lantern style mask which it used to cover its face. One of the faces he stole was Saizou's, however, he and all the other victims' faces were restored once Nuppefuhofu was killed by Super Kakure Daishogun.
• Amanojaku (アマノジャク, Amanojaku^?, 33): A youkai who resembles a combination of an elf and mushrooms. He has the infinity symbol on his forehead and chest. He was destroyed by God Saruder's double sword attack.
• Sunakake Babaa (スナカケババア, Sunakake Babā, Hag of Sand Grains or Sand Grain Witch^?, 34, 53): A hideous female youkai. She used her sand to poison people' food, making anything they try to eat turn into sand. Saizou tricked her into revealing where she kept the urn that held her sand (in-between her breasts) and then destroyed it with the Square Formation slash. Though her scheme was defeated, she managed to enlarge herself, but Babaa was finally finished off for good by Kakure Daishogun's Tekken God Finish.
• Kamaitachi (カマイタチ, Kamaitachi^?, 35): This weasel youkai could supposedly move at such a tremendous speed, it could create the illusion of duplicates/three of itself. After being beat down by the Punishment Sisters, Kamaitachi was destroyed single handedly by Tsuruhime.
• Bakuki (バクキ, Bakuki^?, 36, 53): A youkai sent to capture the urn that held Ninjaman. But Ninjaman was released, therefore Bakuki transported him to his illusionary and nightmarish domain of flames with a red sky. He made the mistake of enraging Ninjaman. He was killed by Samuraiman & Super Kakure Daishogun.
• Karakasa (カラカサ, Karakasa^?, 37, 53): She is also known as the Chinese Umbrella Queen. She had a humanoid form as well as a fully looking apparition form. She carries around an umbrella with her. She captured Saizou and Seikai and forced them to dance with the Dorodoros. With a little help from Hakumenrou and Ninjaman her spell was undone. She grew with Daimaou, however, Super Invincible Shogun saw Daimaou off, while Kakure Daishogun and Samuraiman killed Karakasa off.
• Ushioni (ウシオニ, Ushioni, Bull Ogre^?, 38, 53): A bull-headed Youkai in a poncho armed with a shotgun that was empowered by Daimaoh, Ushioni uses bullets containing his essence to convert those he shoots into his Oni-like slaves to commit crimes so he can built the Onigashima Land Amusement Park for the Youkai. Despite Jiraiya beating him in a gunner's duel, Ushioni powers up when he sees Ninja Red's suit and defeats the Kakurangers with his brute form. Using a matador-based fighting style, Ninjaman manages to weaken Ushioni so the Kakurangers can finish him off with the Kakure Shoot. Enlarged, and learning from his mistake, Ushioni provoked Ninjaman to assume his Saumraiman form. The Youkai also won until Kakure DaiShogun is formed and executes a combo with Samuraiman to destroy Ushioni.
• Nopperabou (ノッペラボウ, Nopperabō^?, 39, 53): A faceless blue creature that looks like a lump of gray and blue clay, he first appeared attacking people until the Kakurangers arrived and battled him, destroyed by the Shark Drive attack. However, he was able to reform his body with the Dorodoros sewing his pieces in tight as he was given upgrades by Daimaou: The arm-mounted NopperaMachine Gun, the concealed-kneecap Noppera Missile, and the shoilder-mounted NopperaRifle. Sasuke defeated Nopperabou with Kakuremaru and Hikarimaru, destroying him again in God Saruder, Battle Saruder, and Red Saruder. But the Youkai quickly reformed with Ninjaman joining the fray while Super Kakure Daishogun was being formed. Nopperabou was broken into pieces again by the Tekken Flying Finish, however the Youkai quickly reformed. However, Noppera-bo's stomach was absent due to Samuraiman keeping the absent piece trapped under his foot. Without that one piece, Nopperabou could not longer reform completely and thus simply ceased to be.
• 9-Tailed Kitsune (キュウビノキツネ, Kyūbi no Kitsune^?, 40): A female youkai clad in lingerie who resembles a giant fox with nine tails.

• Daradara (ダラダラ, Daradara^?, 42-44): A Youkai that the Daimaou created from his being. He siphoned Ninjaman's power to achieve a ninja-style form. But this was a problem when every attack inflicted on Daradara, the pain was transferred to Ninjaman himself. Events become much worse when Daradara does the same thing to the Kakurangers, except Ninja Red. However, Daradara had a glaring weakness: He only feels pain when his "father" is in pain himself. Learning this, Ninja Red manages to wound Daimaou (transferring the pain to Daradara) long enough to cancel out the siphoning process. Rendered back to its original and powerless state, Daradara was easily killed by Invincible Shogun & Samuraiman. A weakened Daimaou soon retreated afterwards.
• OuMukade (オオムカデ, Ōmukade^?, 45, 53): A giant centipede Youkai who battled with Ninjaman and the Kakurangers up in the snowy mountains. Seems to be clad in a football player's armor and uniform. Could speak some English. Killed by Samuraiman & Kakure Daishogun.

• Bimbogami (ビンボーガミ, Binbōgami^?, 49, 53): A youkai based on the Japanese god of poverty.

He was wiped out by Samuraiman, Invincible Shogun, and Kakure Daishogun.
• Onbu-Obake (オンブオバケ, Onbuokake, Piggyback Ghost^?, Ohranger vs. Kakuranger): A powerful Youkai that was sealed in a temple away from the other Youkai by the ancient Kakurangers. Buldont brought him in for a contest he and his father Bacchus-Rage were having to see who can kill the OhRangers first. In a duel with Bara Gear, he piloted OHBlocker while Bara Gear piloted OHRanger Robo. Onbu-Obake could enlarge himself to the size of the Robos without the use of lightning. Onbu-Obake was a pervert/rapist and had a fetish for young, pretty girls, whom he could/would abduct to take their souls with a few licks from his extendable tongue. His human guise is a clown and his powers include possession and absorption attacks. He also scared Ganmazin away by showing him his spiritual form. The Kakuranger and Ohranger both joined forces in order to defeat both he and Bara Gear. After Buldont and Bacchus made a truce, Onbu-Obake and Bara Gear merged to form Onbu-Gear (オンブハグルマ, Onbuhaguruma^?). He survived OHBlocker's sword attack, but went dizzy after OHBlocker, OHRanger Robo and Red Puncher tossed Tackleboy around so many times. This left OHBlocker open to use Tackleboy to finally destroy the monsters forever.
