Dairangers
The Dairangers (ダイレンジャー Dairenjā)[Note 1] are the protagonists of the 1993 Super Sentai series, Gosei Sentai Dairanger. They are a group of humans who use Qi[Note 2] powers to fight the Gorma Tribe. After their final battle, the Dairangers separated, with the last scene of the series showing them fifty years in the future in which their grandchildren follow the Dairangers' legacy and fight against the last remnants of the Gorma Tribe.
The Dairangers are humans practitioners of Chinese martial arts who possess high levels of Qi. The team announces their arrival at a battle scene by saying "Shining in the heavens are Five Stars!"

He lived with his adoptive grandparents prior to moving into Rin's apartment. A somewhat perverted boy, he is infatuated with Rin and "playfully" harasses her much to Rin's chagrin. New to fighting, he is not particularly strong.
Kou initially kept his identity a secret from the other Dairangers, with Byakkoshinken speaking in his stead to appear more grown up. After the other Dairangers learned of his identity, he began to speak on his own and joined the team. Shadam eventually learned Kou was his son and Akomaru's twin brother, although Kou himself was never aware of this. As a result of this knowledge, Shadam tried to recruit Kou into the Gorma on his tenth birthday, but his mother's baptism purified him of his Gorma lineage.

Allies
Kaku
Originally a member of Gorma, Chief of Staff Kaku (嘉挧参謀長 Kaku Sanbōchō) formed the Dairangers to oppose Gorma; his human alias is Master Kaku (道士嘉挧 Dōshi Kaku). But when Daijinryuu returned to Earth, Kaku returned to the Gorma in his metallic red Cyclops-like armor and fought Shadam for the right to the throne in order to become the 16th Gorma Emperor and end the fighting, using the Tower of You-Power and the Tower of Qi-Power as boosters. Once Gara and Zydos destroyed the towers, Kaku was defeated and mortally wounded in the battle against Shadam, and later died in the arms of the Dairangers. He later appeared in spirit form to the Dairangers and told them that Gorma must be thwarted rather than be destroyed.
Kaku is portrayed by Koji Naka (中康治 Naka Koji).
Chouryo
Iron Face Chouryo (鉄面臂張遼 Tetsumenpi Chōryō) was the previous Ryu Ranger who joined the Gorma and became immortal as a result. 20 years prior to the events in the series, he fell in love with a human who gave birth to his son Ryo and daughter Yuko. After Yuko was born, Chouryo was summoned back to the Gorma by his master, Archbishop Riji, to fight the Dairangers after the Triumvirate failed to do so, but stopped upon hearing his son is the new Ryu Ranger. Chouryo eventually saw the error of his ways and turned on his master. During the ensuing fight he received a fatal blow and collapsed. Dying in Ryo's arms, the four spirits of the other original Dairangers appeared to Chouryo to tell him they forgave him. He then passed on the knowledge of Dairen'oh to the new Dairangers before he died.
Kujaku
Kujaku (クジャク Kujaku, Peacock) is a follower of Mahamayuri Vidyaraja, the Peacock Buddha and a master of kenpo. A member of the Dai Tribe, she became the Peacock Buddha's follower to restore Gara by finding the Peacock's Tears, an ancient artifact said to heal whoever drinks from it. Gara joined the Gorma and through deception, trapped Kujaku in Mirror Make-Up Artist, causing Kujaku to swore revenge, resulting in her losing her compassion and love during her 6,000 years of imprisonment. Kujaku was freed by Daigo and attempted to murder Gara in revenge for her imprisonment until Daigo's perseverance and a little girl's kindness caused her to have a change of heart. Kujaku then resumed looking for the Peacock's Tears, realizing that she was dying from the Earth's pollutants and evil. Unfortunately, Kujaku realized that she would sicken and die even if she drank the Peacock's Tears, causing her to use the artifact to restore Gara's beauty instead. Kujaku then died with the real Gara at her side. Kujaku would later reappear in spirit form to restore Daigo's faith and plead with him not to take revenge.
Kujaku is portrayed by Masako Morishita, who previously portrayed Sayoko Tsukikage/Kirika in Kousoku Sentai Turboranger.
Guhon
Grandmaster Guhon (老道士虞翻 Rōdōshi Guhon) is Rin's great grand-uncle and Jiaxu's mentor, who tends to be bizarre at times and often cracks his neck. Despite his appearance, Guhon was the inventor of the Aura Changers and later provided the Dairangers with their Big Wheel Blades and the Super Qi-Power Bazooka. Prior to the Kabuki Boy incident, Guhon entrusted his fiancé Xiao Qiao with Byakkoshinken which he placed within a stone until the rightful owner (Kou) could claim the weapon. Guhon later revealed to Kameo his true identity as Daimugen.
Guhon is portrayed by Takeshi Kuwabara (桑原 毅 Kuwabara Takeshi).
Shokyo
Shokyo (小喬 Shōkyō) is Guhon's 29-year-old fiancé, a Chinese Opera writer whom he entrusted with Byakkoshinken. Her profession caught the eye of Kabuki Boy, who abducted her, although Guhon won her back. After returning Byakkoshinken to Guhon, Shokyo marries him as she returns to China.
Shokyo is portrayed by Aki Miyase (宮瀬亜希 Miyase Aki).
Kou's mother
Kou's mother is married to Shadam and is a member of the Dai Tribe. She possessed a strong Kiryoku. She placed a tiger tattoo on Kou at birth to suppress his Gorma-inherited powers and had him adopted after his birth to prevent the Gorma from tracking him down. Kou's mother was taken captive by an elderly Gorma and Akōmaru. She escaped when Shadam broke into her prison to discover the source of Akōmaru's information. She later used Byakoshinken to save a wounded Kou and to purge the Gorma powers from him. She died in a cave collapse along with Akōmaru.
Kou's mother is portrayed by Mikiko Miki (三輝みきこ Miki Mikiko), who previously played Commander Aya Odagiri in Choujin Sentai Jetman.
Arsenal
- Aura Changer (オーラチェンジャー Ōra Chenjā): The two-piece transformation device of the core Dairangers. It is activated by extending a key from the right piece and inserting it into the left piece.

The seventh jewel, angular in shape like a turtle's shell, belongs to Kameo, who uses it to return to his true form, Daimugen.

Kiden Shōrai! (Kidenjū no Namae)!) is used to call on the Mythical Ch'i Beasts (although in Super Sentai World, Ryu Ranger was able to summon a fully combined Dairen'oh by himself) while holding their respective Lai-Lai Jewels and a Star Sword (Byakkoshinken in Kiba Ranger's case) to summon them.

He can use the Flying Dragon Rod (飛龍棍 Hiryū Kon) to perform the Windmill Kick, Super Windmill, and the Great Windmill Slice (大風車斬り Dai Fūsha Kiri) attack. At first, Kaku had to use his Ch'i energy to control Ryuuseioh, until Lin was transported to China to find the five Heavenly Treasure Lai-Lai Jewels and revived the other four Mythical Ch'i Beasts. Ryu Ranger can control Ryuuseioh either by himself or with the other core Dairangers. Helped out in Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai. Elements of Sun Wukong (such as his staff and golden headband) were influences on Ryuuseioh's design.

It is armed with seven Legendary Ch'i Treasure Pearls in its cockpit which correlate to both the seven days of the Japanese week and the seven Japanese elements; Moon (equivalent for Monday), Fire (Tuesday), Water (Wednesday), Wood (Thursday), Metal (Friday), Earth (Saturday), and Sun (Sunday). In warrior mode, it attacks with "Tiger Punch," "Tiger Kick" and uses the Fire Jewel for its "Tiger Boy's Big Secret Technique Flaming Orb" (Kaen Dama). Won Tiger was born by the combined powers of Kaku along with the five Dairangers for Kiba Ranger at high noon in Gojoudai. It is also armed with the Golden Sword (黄金剣 Ōgonken) and mimics Kiba Ranger's attacks to fight off Gorma monsters.
- Super Mythical Ch'i Beast Daimugen (超気伝獣ダイムゲン Chō Kidenjū Daimugen, Great Infinity): A giant tortoise who turned into Kameo (亀夫 Kameo) — a pudgy Nagoya accented man who loved turtles (keeping some he named "Candy", "Max", "Joe", "Gum", "Tom", and "Caesar") and fearful of confrontations, with no memory of his previous life, in which he escaped the fighting between the Dai and Gorma tribes. He makes a living out of selling illustrations he made and dreams of writing children's books. He later witnesses the Dairangers transform when they revive Won Tiger. One day, he finds a Lai-Lai Jewel that reveals his true nature as Daimugen. However, he doesn't resume his true form until his new friend Kazu is in danger from the Gorma Four Deva Kings. Since then, Daimugen appears only when the Dairangers need his aid, changing into Super Mythical Ch'i Warrior Daimugen (超気伝武人ダイムゲン Chō Kiden Bujin Daimugen) by the command "Super Warrior Change!" (超武人変化 Cho Bujin Henge!), to re-energize Ryuuseioh. Using the crystal, Kameo can change into Daimugen at will while yelling "Super Mythical Ch'i Beast, Daimugen!", but at other times the crystal would cause him to turn into a small turtle. Eventually, Daimugen's fear of fighting is revealed to be the result of his first encounter with Daijinryuu long ago, but he manages to overcome his phobia to protect Ryuuseioh from Daijinryuu. Kameo is portrayed by Sugisaku Imagawa (今川杉作, Imagawa Sugisaku).
Mythical Ch'i Beast Combinations

Star Tenma forms the right side. Star Qilin forms the left side and Star Houou forms the rear. It resembles a Chinese Palace, as well a cloud, keeping with Ryuuseioh's Sun Wukong motif (reference to Sun Wukong ability of riding clouds to fly).
