==== '''{{color|red|SSosuke Esumi/Go-on Red}}''' | <small>Actor: Yasuhisa Furuhara</small> ====
* [[Anime Hair]]
* [[Beauty Mark]]: A quite noticeable one under his right eye.
* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: Averted in GP 8 as an [[Aesop]]. While helping Speedor recover from a bad rust, Sosuke kept believing that a miracle will happen, since they're the heroes; nothing happened. In the end, he decided to make miracles happen, rather than waiting for them.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Mach ______" (most frequently "Mach Speed")
* [[Comedic Underwear Exposure]]: Poor guy goes through this a lot, the most notable time being in GP15.

Line 19:
* [[Friend to All Children]]
* [[The Hero]]
* [[Hot -Blooded]]
* [[Idiot Hero]]
* [[Law of Chromatic Superiority]]
* [[The McCoy]]
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Oddly enough. Throughout the season he appears in various states of undress, most of them [[Played for Laughs]] given the nature of the show.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: The red to Hiroto's blue. Ditto with [[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Takeru/ShinkenRed]] in ''Shinkenger vs. Go-onger''.
* [[Serious Business]]: Though not to the extent of some other Rangers, since he does it mainly as a parody of 60s' Japanese daytime dramas.
* [[Ship Tease]]: An early episode hinted that he might have romantic interest in Saki when he became worried about her spending time with a man outside the group (who, it turns out, she was asking for advice on how to defeat the [[Monster of the Week]]). He eventually gets heavy [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|BST]] with Miu.
* [[Signature Move]]: ''Saber Straight''
* [[Stock Super Powers]]: During the events of both Go-onger team-up movies, Sosuke uses a power that derives from the opposing team.
Line 34:
* [[Wink Ding]]: Does this in ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]] VS Go-Onger'' [http://i53.tinypic.com/ohmzxz.gif right after introducing himself to the Shinkengers].
 
==== '''{{color|blue|RRen Kosaka/Go-on Blue}}''' | <small>Actor: Shinwa Kataoka</small> ====
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Ren may be sweet but is not to be trifled with, as seen during GP 25 when he defends a Gaiark that he had believed for years was a sacred family statue, and in GP 35-36 following {{spoiler|Sosuke's [[Disney Death]]}}
* [[BFG]]: Garage Launcher
Line 40:
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Just Correct" <ref>"''Zubari''"</ref>
* [[Genius Bruiser]]
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: The actor is known in Japan as the face of the Pop-Up Pirate board game.
* [[Ki Attacks]]: ''On On Dan'', during the events of ''Go-onger vs. Gekiranger''.

Line 46:
* [[The Smart Guy]]
* [[The Spock]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]
* [[Team Chef]]

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Smile Smile!"
* [[The Chick]]
Line 66:

* [[Butt Monkey]]
Line 82:
* [[Keet]]
* [[Ki Attacks]]: ''Baru Baru Dan'', during the events of ''Go-onger vs. Gekiranger''.
* [[Kid Appeal Character]]
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Sensitive Guy to Gunpei's Manly Man.
* [[Ship Tease]]: It's occasionally hinted that Hanto has a crush on Kegareshia (in GP 14 he falls for her while she is disguised as "Rena", and in other episodes he seems to find her attractive even in her usual form.) Some fans also interpret his relationship with Gunpei this way.
* [[Signature Move]]: ''Axe Touring''
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: In at least two episodes. Later, in GP 47 Gunpei wants Hanto to dress as a girl and pose for fake wedding photos to deceive Gunpei's mother, despite the presence of two actual women on the team.
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]
 
==== '''{{color|black| Gunpei Ishihara/Go-on Black}}''' | <small>Actor: Kenji Ebisawa</small> ====
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: [[Rule of Funny|Subverted]]. Donning a trenchcoat led him to be mistaken for a drug dealer.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Eventually took the role from out of Hanto's hands.
* [[By the -The-Book Cop]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Somewhere down the road, a few braincells dropped dead. By ''Shinkenger vs. Go-onger'', any sanity he might have left was apparently on vacation.
* [[Dub Name Change]]: "Alex" in the Korean dub.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: "[[Forehead of Doom|Forehead]]", thanks to a rather {{[[media-|:Ahhh![[Real Gunpei]]RealGunpei.jpg| unfortunate close-up}}]] in the ending sequence.
* [[Handguns]]: Cowl Laser
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: Desperate to become a Go-onger to the point of stealing the Engine Casts. It's only when he agrees to hand them back that Bomper decides Gunpei has a strong sense of justice, and allows him and Hanto to become Go-on Black and Green.
Line 108:
* [[Terrible Artist]]: He is ''terrible'' at drawing. In GP 16, we see his drawing of a penguin, which looks like anything but.
 
==== '''{{color|goldenrod| Hiroto Suto/Go-on Gold}}''' | <small>Actor: Hidenori Tokuyama</small> ====
* [[The Ace]]: One episode has a bunch of Hiroto's groupies saying he could master anything, and I mean anything, if he wasn't devoting his time to fighting Gaiark. And you get the feeling they're right.
* [[Aloof Ally]]
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]
Line 115:

* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: Hiroto's actor, Hidenori Tokuyama, had previously played Sou Yaguruma/Kamen Rider TheBee/Kamen Rider Kick Hopper in ''[[Kamen Rider Kabuto]]''.

* [[Sixth Ranger]]
* [[The Stoic]]
** But [[Not So Stoic]] if Miu is in danger.
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: He and Miu got a lot of screentime for just two people. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] because the Wings function as a separate unit from the Go-ongers
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
* [[Team Dad]]
* [[Tsundere]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts]]: Foreshadowed in the Urameshimedes episode, and confirmed as canon down the line.
 
==== '''{{color|Silver| Miu Suto/Go-on Silver}}''' | <small>Actor: Yumi Sugimoto</small> ====
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: While Sosuke is brainwashed in the Straw Banki episode, he begins acting like a gangster/Yakuza and offers Miu a stolen ring, which makes her happy. Later, after he has returned to normal, she admits that she preferred him brainwashed.
* [[Aloof Ally]]: At first, but she warms up to the Go-ongers much faster than Hiroto does
