- "The five assembled! Gorenger! (
5 人 揃 って!ゴレンジャー! Go-Nin sorotte! Gorenjā!)" - ―Gorengers announcing their arrival[src]
The Himitsu Sentai Gorenger (秘密戦隊ゴレンジャー Himitsu Sentai Gorenjā), individually known as the Gorengers (ゴレンジャー Gorenjā), were the 1st Super Sentai, or on occasion, were not a Sentai team. (See notes) They were originally formed by the Earth Guard League to defeat the Black Cross Army.

History
J.A.K.Q.
After the Gorengers defeated the Black Cross Führer, a new Sentai team, J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai, emerged to face a new threat, Criminal Organization Crime. Crime was defeated, but Boss Iron Claw started to bring it back, aided by the Crime Big Four, who had remnants of the Black Cross Army at their disposal. The Gorengers battled General Sahara and his Sahara Battalion in Africa while Kikaider and Kamen Riders V3 and Amazon took on other Crime leaders.
While investigating a UFO in the Sky Ace, the JAKQ team were caught off guard by the return of the reformed Crime with the Crime Big Four leading Iron Claw's armies. The next day, Heart Queen and Spade Ace encountered Peggy, who had pursued the Sahara Army to Japan. After Peggy reveals the markings on a murdered man's back, JAKQ learned of Crime's Citybuster project and the location of the syndicate's island base. Managing to infiltrate Crime's base, Ace and Queen learned of Iron Claw's plan to use the "Citybusters" on United States, the Soviet Union, the People's Republic of China, France, the United Kingdom, West Germany, and Japan while he and his forces retreated into space via UFO, wiping out any opposing threat by the time their return as overlords of space. After saving Peggy, Spade Ace and Heart Queen escaped the base before they were surrounded by the Crime Big Four and their armies. However, Clover King and Dia Jack along with the rest of the Gorenger team appeared. The two Sentai teams managed to defeat the four Crime armies before the Crime Big Four join the fray. But unable to defeat JAKQ and Gorenger in their individual forms, they “combined” to form the super cyborg entity “Big Four Robo”, overwhelming them until Big One arrives and suggest using the Gorenger Hurricane Big Bomber combo to destroy the monster. However, though it seemed hopeless as Iron Claw retreated in his UFO and began to activate the Citybuster, it turned out Big One switched his hand with a remote controlled one that he used to activate the UFO's self destruct. Thus the Gorengers and JAKQ managed to finish Crime for good.
Gokaiger
Years later, the Space Empire Zangyack invaded Earth. This threat was so great that all of the first 34 Super Sentai were needed to oppose them. The older Akarenger, being the original red hero, and the leader of the first Super Sentai, assembled the Sentai as their leader, with Big One as his right-hand man. The 34 Sentai put up a valiant fight against the ground forces, but when the Zangyack fleet itself attacked them, Akarenger told everyone to combine their powers and save the Earth. This destroyed the Zangyack fleet and resulted in the loss of their powers, which resurfaced as Ranger Keys, that were dispersed throughout the universe.
The keys were collected by AkaRed, and later utilized by the 35th Super Sentai, the Gokaigers, a group of five people from different planets who came to Earth in search of the Greatest Treasure in the Universe. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear When the Gokaigers joined forces with the Goseigers against the revived Black Cross Führer, now known as the Black Cross King, they were addressed by Tsuyoshi, along with several other representatives of past Sentai teams. Tsuyoshi told them that his and the other Super Sentai's ability to fight was taken from them but, the feelings in the Ranger Keys are eternal. Tsuyoshi granted the greater power of his team to the Gokaigers, the Variblune, which was created out of a salaryman's replica of the original Variblune. The Gokaigers combined their robo with Variblune to form Goren GokaiOh, using the Gokai Hurricane Cassiopeia to destroy the Black Cross King. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Tsuyoshi was the last Sentai alumni to see the Gokaigers off after they finally defeated the Zangyack and left Earth to find the second greatest treasure in the universe, telling them that they did well and to seize their treasure as their own this time as the Gokai Galleon sailed off back into space. As they leave, his Ranger Key gloeds once he looks at it, then as he turned away from the ship, his key glowed again, changing him back to Akarenger as he headed off once again. Presumably the rest of the Gorengers have their powers back as well. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen
The Gorengers, among the majority of the "Super Sentai" heroes, were caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Super Hero Taisen Z
Akarenger appeared with Kamen Rider #1 leading a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements that came to assist the Sentai and Riders of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.
After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, Akarenger appeared standing on a cliff with all the other heroes who appeared to help, to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z
Ninninger
- "Of course. We have watched over many Super Sentai in the same way."
- ―Akarenger concurring with Yoshitaka Igasaki.[src]
Continuing his vigilance over the Super Sentai, Akarenger met Yoshitaka Igasaki, grandfather of the Shuriken Sentai Ninninger, while catching up with NinjaRed and HurricaneRed, reminding the ninja Sentai tutors that they were not that different from their successors when they first started. Akarenger understood Yoshitaka's request to wait for his grandchildren to become stronger, noting his observation of previous Super Sentai progressing the same way. TV STORY-Shinobi 7: Spring Ninja Festival!
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger
Akarenger appears as part of a conference of the first 38 Reds whom address the Ninningers and Zyuohgers. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Chou Super Hero Taisen
Iterations of the Himitsu Sentai Gorenger existed within the Game World among a countless complement of recreated Sentai and Rider characters; Momorenger participated in the Chou Super Hero Taisen tournament as part of Team Genm. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen
Super Sentai Strongest Battle
- "Gather all the power of Super Sentai... ...and protect the galaxy."
- ―Tsuyoshi bestowed his Akarenger Key to Marvelous[src]
Suspecting something odd going on with the tournament, Tsuyoshi contacted and met up with Captain Marvelous and bestowed his Akarenger Key power to him for safekeeping.
Zenkaiger
While the Gorengers were battling some Zolders, Akarenger noticed something odd in the sky as he, his team and their world was trapped into a Tojiru Gear. TV STORY-No. 1-kai! The World of Kikai is Kikikaikai!
A copy of the Gorenger team was summoned by Stacaesar through the Gorenger Dark Sentai Gear to fight the Zenkaigers. A manifestation of the Gorenger team was summoned by Zenkaizer through the Gorenger Sentai Gear which allowed the Zenkaigers to use the Gorenger Hurricane against Stacaesar's Gorenger Copies.

- "Gorenger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Himitsu Sentai Gorenger Ranger Keys (秘密戦隊ゴレンジャーレンジャーキー Himitsu Sentai Gorenjā Renjā Kī) are what became of the Gorengers' powers after they along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
The Akarenger Ranger Key was discovered by Captain Marvelous when he was recruited by AkaRed for the Red Pirates. TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai The Red Pirates would later collect the four other Gorenger Keys along with the majority of Ranger Keys.
Any of these keys allow a Gokaiger to assume the form of any of the Gorengers or summon the Variblune and combine with GokaiOh to form Goren GokaiOh. Note: These keys are generally used whenever both Gokaiger weapons are used for a Final Wave finisher alongside the Gokaigers' own keys.

In Popular Culture
- The Gorengers are parodied in the Japanese commercial of Kirin Amino Supli C, but their costume designs are different than the original ones as the helmets expose the lower part of the face.
Notes
- In reference to the show itself and the order it appears, Gorenger is considered the first Super Sentai Season. Later seasons such as Gokaiger and Zenkaiger would also consider it the first. However, other material such as those created circa Liveman did not consider it a Sentai team.
- The first letter(s) of the initial Gorengers' surnames (first in Peggy's case) spells out "Cassiopeia" (カシオペア Kashiopea, Ka(ijo); Shi(nmei); O(oiwa); Pe(ggy); A(suka)) in English.
- In the early production of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, the team planned to have bigger collars as well as having the Birdies part of the suits. The staff ultimately made the collars smaller and the Birdies a removable accessory.
- In the Korean dub in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger entitled Power Rangers Captain Force, Gorenger is called Power Rangers Five Ranger.
