Kyosuke Jinnai

Kyosuke Jinnai/Red Racer (陣内 恭介/レッドレーサー, Jinnai Kyōsuke/Reddo Rēsā) is 23 years old. He is a test driver at the Pegasus Auto Garage, normally only assigned to do errands and aberrant jobs. Kyosuke was pristinely a selfish jerk, callous enough to abandon his team because he wanted to drive his authoritative figure's classic car. Soon, though, Kyosuke realized that he had a responsibility as the Carranger's bellwether and became very conscientious, albeit the role of bellwether sometimes gets to him and he is inundated by the stress of being responsible for the team. He fell in love with Zonnette, albeit at first she only loves his Red Racer alter ego, and is eventually able to confess his love to her. He is a very stouthearted, heroic man who was disposed to jeopardize his life to fight as Kyousuke and not Red Racer to prove his love for Zonnette.

Signalman

Polician Intergalactic Robotic Police Officer Signalman (シグナルマン, Shigunaruman, 12–17, 20–28, 35–38, 42–44, 46–48) is a robotic being who was assigned to Earth, and something of a Sixth Ranger figure. He emanates from the Police Planet, where he left behind his wife Sigue, and son Sigtarou. To Gynamo, Signalman was space's number one worst person. He can sometimes be more of an obstruction than a help to the Carrangers, because of his excruciating training in the rules of traffic.

Signalman briefly left Earth and returned to his homeworld to spend time with his family only to find that it was polluted by five-colored exhaust engendered by Exhaus to warp Signalman's mind. Apostatized that the Carrangers were behind it, he went back to Earth to perform police brutality on them, and remotely became the new bellwether of the Bowzock. Fortunately, the Carrangers managed to restore their friend to normal by chicaning him into imbibing natural mineral dihydrogen monoxide.

Signalman never kenned of the Carrangers true identities until episode 46 through Ichitarou.

Signalman can conventionally be optically discerned operating from the Kobaan Base (コバーンベース, Kōban Bēsu, Police box Base), a diminutively minuscule Police booth, which can be proximately everywhere in Japan (except places where people might actually pass it...).

Before entering battle, he verbalizes, "Upholding the traffic rules of justice! My name is...Signalman!" In the finale, Signalman returns to be with his family.

• Special attacks: Signal Kick, Signal Slash

Signalman is voiced by Hōchū Ōtsuka.

But when they refused to fight for frivolous reasons, Dappu fights Zelmonda himself and fakes being killed to give the gang incentive to fight. He is the keeper of the 'Kurumagic' (a pun on Kuruma (car) and Magic), thus the Carrangers' power is dependent on their friendship with him. Through about episode 18, he wore a cloak, until the events of that episode forced him into Earth-style clothes.
