Kenichi Akama (original) (raw)
"GoggleRed!"
―GoggleRed's roll call[src]
Kenichi Akama (赤間健一, Akama Ken'ichi) is GoggleRed (ゴーグルレッド, Gōguru Reddo).
History[]
Goggle V[]
Kenichi is a 22-year-old (51 in Gokaiger) world class explorer and mountain climber. By saving Dr. Hongou from Deathdark's Spotmen, he came to realize what peril the world was in. His forehead jewel is the ruby (it has the lowest roll call pitch), symbolizing the lost civilization of Atlantis. His rhythmic gymnastic apparatus is the rope, which is similar to the ropes he uses when rappelling.
Imitations[]
Deathdark V
Deathdark Red: GoggleRed's evil counterpart in Deathdark V, a team made of five ninja Spotmen who use a transformation technique similar to Tanuki Mozoo to become the heroes. As with the rest of Deathdark V, Deathdark Red appears similar to GoggleRed with slight differences, its scarf is the color of his uniform (red) instead of pure white, its weapon is black in color and the team introduction pose has their arms going downwards instead of upwards like the Goggle V entry pose. Also unlike the original GoggleRed, Deathdark Red does not have the energy of the ruby. Deathdark Red was defeated in a swordfight by GoggleRed. Upon defeat, along with the rest of the team, it changed back to an ordinary Spotman.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Kenichi Akama is portrayed by Ryouji Akagi (赤木 良次, Ryouji Akagi). As GoggleRed, his suit actor was Kazuo Niibori (新堀 和男, Kazuo Niibori), who previously played VulEagle.
- In the Korean dub of Goggle V entitled Earth Task Force Goggle V, Kenichi is renamed "Hyunil Kim", while he keeps his ranger designation.
Design[]
- GoggleRed wears a red cloth suit with a white torso rounded down towards a stripe around the belt-buckle, with a white belt and a buckle in a triangular form; the long top of the triangle is a stretched-out letter "G" with the Arabic number "5" filling the rest. His gloves are white with a red band around the wrists and the boots are pure white. A pin with the Goggle V logo is pinned on his left side and a scarf flows around his neck. Beneath the belt is a white pocket where he keeps his Goggle Sabre. The helmet is split in three, with a red top and a gray mouthpiece at the bottom. His visor is black with the relief from above the visor falling down making it appear similar to a pair of goggles instead of uniform. Above the visor is an ornate design with a red ruby in the center carved in the shape of a circle, a representation of the number "1".
Etymology[]

Legend Sentai Devices[]
The GoggleRed Ranger Key.
The GoggleRed Ranger Key (ゴーグルレッドレンジャーキー, Gōguru Reddo Renjā Kī) is Kenichi Akama's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The GoggleRed Ranger Key was mainly used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red), who used it to fight as GoggleRed. It was also used by Gai Ikari on one occasion.
The Goggle V Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The Goggle V keys were defeated by Super Gosei Black. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Kenichi received his key and became GoggleRed once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

The Goggle V Gear (ゴーグルファイブギア, Gōguru Faibu Gia) is one of many Sentai Gears used by the Zenkaigers to battle the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo. In particular, when used by a Zenkaiger's Geartlinger, the Goggle V Gear allows the user to access ribbons akin to those used by Goggle V. This in turn allows the user to catch the enemy while performing a shocking attack to the enemy.

- His visor is the only one on his team to be split in two.
