Kanedama (カネダマ 13 & 53) is a golden Yokai in robotic armor at a magnet for a right hand who was originally a benevolent luck bringing Yokai before becoming evil and greedy.
History[]
Posing as a gold-robed exorcist named Fukuo Daikichi, Kanedama plants golden coins Prof. Yugami developed for him into houses to make a profit and fleece the residents of everything they have. However, only the wife of the baker turned him down and Kanedama attempt to force the woman to reconsider by putting up the ante as the Kakurangers help her out. However, due to getting a bump on the back of his head while fighting the Kakurangers, Kanedama's con is exposed as he laced the entire building with his coins before going after the baker's son Hiroshi with Sasuke saving the boy. Though he uses his Thievery Jutsu to take the Kakurangers' Kakulasers from them, he is defeated by NinjaRed using his Full-Moon Cut on the Yokai. Kanedama quickly enlarged, with the Beast General Fighters delivering a quick beating to Kanedama before destroying him with Fighter Crash. Once he was destroyed, Kanedama's coins faded and his spell was broken.

Reeling that they were now powerless in captivity, the Yokai all vowed that they would one day be reborn and regain their power, cursing humanity. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Sealing!!
