StarNinger makes his official appearance. Kinji Takigawa, an American “Yokai Hunter” and globetrotter, asked Yoshitaka to mentor him out of admiration and has come to Japan to become a real ninja. His older brother and father were also Hunters. Kinji speaks in a thick Tokyo dialect that he learned by watching historical dramas and rakugo.

Yoshitaka refused to take him in as an apprentice unless he can defeat him. However, after being ambushed once, Yoshitaka tells Kinji that he can become an apprentice if he manages to defeat his grandchildren. In order to have them available for defeat at any time, Kinji becomes a helper at the Igasaki dojo.

Kinji transforms by placing his StarNinger Shuriken into the Ninja Star Burger. StarNinger enjoys taking selfies with the yokai by using the Ninja Star Burger Selfie Mode. He carries his personal weapon, the Star Sword Gun, in a guitar case. In order to give his enemies few opportunities to attack, Kinji’s general fighting style is very aggressive and fast. He handles his sword in a straight samurai style.

Using a manual on constructing OtomoNin that was written by Yoshitaka himself, Kinji made his mecha, RodeoMaru and Bison King on his own. Bison King has two modes, the four-wheeled Buggy mode and the robot mode.
