Ittan-momen (イッタンモメン Ittanmomen) is an Ittan-momen and smoke-themed Yokai.
History[]
Ittan-momen was sent by Junior to attack Sasuke while he was finding his Shinobi Scroll. After mortally injuring Reika, a girl who seemed to heal him when he was attacked and struck by Junior, Sasuke took her death personally and was bent on gaining the Shinobi Scroll more than ever.
Soon afterwards, an enlarged Ittan-momen intervened, now with a blowtorch and a cannon weapon for arms, enraging Sasuke further as the Yokai's attacks were killing the surrounding animals that Reika cared for when she was alive. Sasuke managed to knock down the giant Yokai on his own, managing to gain the Shinobi Scroll in time to summon the Super Stealth Beast God Saruder, which he did. Soon afterwards, Super Muteki Shogun arrived and weakened Ittan-momen, allowing God Saruder to finish him off.

Though unseen, Ittan-momen's spirit presumably emerged within the Seal Door along with all the other defeated Yokai, after their master Daimaou was finally contained there by the Kakurangers. 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!!

Notes[]
- Though he didn't appear on Power Rangers, Ittan-momen was released as an 8 inch action figure in the season 3 toyline and was named Calcifire.
- His catchphrase of using the word ''baby'' after a sentence is a reference to his voice actor's previous role as Boss Kamikaze, who used the same catchphrase in Gosei Sentai Dairanger.
- Back in early 2003, shortly after the series changed hands from Saban Entertainment to Disney, some of the monster costumes, including Calcifier (minus the hands and feet), were auctioned off by ABC Auctions. It sold for $162.25 and it made a cameo among its new owner's toy collection on the 8th season 1 episode of Toy Hunter along with the Bloom of Doom, Hatchasaurus, Wolfbane, and Shockatron.
