Hiromu Sakurada (桜（さくら）田（だ） ヒロム, Sakurada Hiromu) is Red Buster (レッドバスター, Reddo Basutā) of the Go-Busters.
His Buster Power is super speed. Thus his legs can move at an unbelievable velocity, making him look as if he were teleporting. His partner Buddy Roid is Cheeda Nick.
His power, like the other Busters, has a Weakpoint trade-off. Whenever Hiromu panics or is immensely startled, he freezes up completely, even in mid-air. However, it is commonly activated when Hiromu sees a chicken, an animal in which he has developed a phobia of.
History[]
Go-Busters[]
Hiromu is 20 years old at the start of the series and the second oldest on the team. Thirteen years ago before the events of the first episode, Hiromu's father had saved the world by isolating his entire research building in Hyper Space to contain the virus called "Messiah". Hiromu, along with two other children, escaped this isolation.
A program in his body grants him superhuman abilities. However, his sister Rika refuses to allow him join the Go-Busters training program, which is organized and run by the Energy Management Center. Despite her refusals, Hiromu had already decided he would eventually join when the time comes that they truly need him. Thus Hiromu, though irregularly, undertakes some simulations and training in order to prepare for the eventual threat. His training sessions were done unbeknownst to his sister. In one of their pre-Vaglass outings, they take on their predecessors' nemesis, Basco ta Jolokia. However, they take him on stealthily before heading back home (to the Energy Management Center) and without the Gokaigers' knowledge.

When the EMC finds the threat escalating, Takeshi Kuroki has the Go-Buster basic gear sent to the Sakurada residence hoping for a positive response.

MOVIE STORY-Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger vs. Kiramager vs. Senpaiger
Personality[]
Hiromu is the serious young leader of the Go-Busters. He loves his sister, even if she thinks he should not be a Go-Buster. He is also blunt, as it is his personal policy to give his opinion to a person "straight," like telling Cheeda that he has poor directions despite being a Buddy Roid. It is because of his bluntness that he often clashes with fellow Go-Buster Yoko, who hates being wrong.
Hiromu has a deep fear of chickens which eventually became his weakness. This started when Hiromu was young and was playing a game of hide-and-seek with his Buddyroid. Hiromu had accidentally locked himself into a chicken coop and a startled chicken attacked him, which caused his fear. TV STORY-Mission 28: Beware of Chickens
It is also revealed that Hiromu was affected the most by the trauma of losing his parents at such a young age. This is evident when Filmloid tries to psychologically defeat the Go-Busters with illusions displaying their deepest desire. Hiromu was the only one affected when the monster showed him being with his parents.
Another one of his weaknesses is that Hiromu wants to do things alone most of the time, not wanting to bother other people with his problems. An example of this is that he wants to bear the pain of losing his parents all by himself, instead of talking about it.
