History[]
The Stove Mask made his first appearance at Black Cross' HQ as he demonstrates this chemical that he made, as he pours it into the oil changing it into water which makes him very proud to get a noble prize, so with that the plan to convert oil into water commences. He was later seen at the EAGLE's Facility with a squadron of Zolder ninjas as he pulls out a binoculars as he began to spy on the facility. One of the Zolder ninjas questions the Stove Mask if they're about to force an entry into the base, but he answers no, because he disguised himself as a kerosene heater thus fooling the EAGLE soldiers into bringing him within the facility. Once inside he revealed himself as he set the two soldiers on fire burning them to crisp. He then open the gates to let in the disguised Zolders (who're driving a military truck) to bring in the chemical to the facility as they began to pour in the oil neutralizer into tanks thus converting the oil into water.
However once they were about to bring out the next drum of oil the Gorengers showed up and spots them doing suspicious work, so with the cover blown the Zolder ninjas shed their disguise as the Stove Mask revealed himself to the team. After that he sent the zolder ninjas to attack them while he set both Peggy and Kenji on fire by creating of circle of flames, thankfully both Akira and Daita arrived as Daita used his Ki stick and knocked the Stove Mask over a hill, thus the circle of fire were gone and the masked monster itself (which means he left the area).
Later that night the Stove Mask revealed himself to the Eagle soldiers as he set them on fire and once the zolder ninjas confirmed that their carrying is indeed oil he set it on fire causing the entire truck to explode. A while later he was at a gas station when the Gorengers spotted him he tried to take the gas attendant as a hostage, but they tossed empty canister at him causing him to let go of the attendant while down onto the ground. However he manages to lose them within the concrete jungle.
After the break the Gorengers ask all of the citizens to bring out their heaters for inspection to see if any of them is the Stove Mask in disguise. He manages to hid himself in Mrs. Murayama's apartment which unknown to the family because he was already there when they didn't realize and thought he was a stove they left on. He manages to put the family as hostage and if the Gorengers ever interfered to save them not only the family will be burned to a crisp, but the entire complex will go up in flame. So in a dire situation Tsuyoshi switches places with the family for their own safety. As he was caged and transported to an empty valley the Stove Mask was about to execute him by burning him alive until his teammate showed up as they put out the fire with the extinguisher and setting him free from the cage.
After the roll call the battle was on as he sent out the Zolders to attack the team. However the Zolders were dealt with, so he sent out the Ninja corps to attack them. Once the ninjas were dealt with the Stove Mask takes the matter into his own hand as he set the team on fire. He manages to trap with a fiery circle, but Daita used his Ki Sticker to send Tsuyoshi over the flaming circle and kicking the Stove Mask causing him to let go of his flamethrower. After that he was then destroyed by this finisher called Gorenger Hurricane where it transform into a tank of gas that makes Stove Mask explode when he partakes in it.
