Taro Momoi is the main protagonist of Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. He is a 21-year-old young man who transforms into Don Momotaro, the Red Ranger and leader of the Donbrothers.
He is portrayed by Kouhei Higuchi.
History[]
As a survivor of the Don Clan, Taro was found by Jin Momoi inside a peach-shaped capsule that floated to shore after exiting a portal from Ideon when he was an infant. In his childhood, he excelled at everything and always eager to aid people do things correctly, but this goodwill became so intrusive that the neighbors organized a rally against him, although he did not realize that he was hated until everyone in the neighborhood left. During his birthdays, he would often celebrate alone with his foster father as none of the neighbors wanted to come to his party when invited. A happier moment was when he would make onigiri for Jin to take with him for his lunch before he headed off to work. Another sad moment in his childhood was during one summer when his pet beetle Gii flew out a window and never returned, upsetting Taro since he had no real friends and treasured Gii as the closest thing to one.
Personality[]
Taro is a young man who is incapable of lying and capable of living on his own after his foster father vanished. He also can do any kind of work, like cleaning, cooking, making rice-balls etc. As his regular self, he is cheery and generally well-mannered, though his tendency to be brutally honest often leaves him in situations where the favor is usually against him or annoys people to the point that they hate being around him.
Unhelpful to those who meet him, Taro's form of giving advice is simply stating out what someone does wrong before performing the corresponding act in what he deems to be the right way, typically worsening any relationships he has with other people. Additionally, his comments are usually made without consideration of someone's feelings, which normally results in him angering others unintentionally.
His honesty extends to how he views the world, seeing lying as wrong and even if the intent is for good reasons, the liar is masking a false truth and true words come directly from the heart, though a brief conversation with Sonoi later made him slightly loosen up to deception. Unlike his superhero persona, Taro hates fighting to the point he will never directly hit a person even if provoked.
Despite his friendly disposition, Taro’s childhood has affected him negatively as he doesn’t know what true happiness is. His compulsory need to help others and make them happy is, in his own words, a way to understand the emotion itself since he is lonely. He also seemed to dislike his birthday, as it serves as a constant reminder of his loneliness.
Skills[]
Powers[]
- Ninjarksword Immunity: Unlike his teammates or the other Noto Generals, Taro is immune to the Ninjarksword's corrupting influence; rather than rendering him feral and aggressive, the weapon simply restored his then-lost transformation abilities.
Abilities[]
- Hypercompetence: As claimed by both himself and his father, Taro Momoi is excellent at everything. However, he must have experienced the skill he acquired either by doing it himself at least once or carefully observed someone else doing it to master it.
- Perfect Onigiri Making: His onigiri is described by Yukio Mizuno to be something made from the heavens, and managed to make him moved to near tears by its flavor and texture.
- Shogi Mastery: Although he had only played shogi once in his childhood, Taro managed to defeat a shogi club president easily.
- Piano Mastery: Taro mastered the ability to play the piano after carefully observing Kaito playing and memorizing the notes of Chopin’s Nocturne by ear.
- Enhanced Strength and Accuracy: While untransformed, Taro was able to flick peanuts with his finger at someone's face right in the cheek and with enough force to knock them out cold. He is also capable of completely destroying an entire stack of wooden chairs with a single karate chop.
- Enhanced Speed and Reflexes: Taro is shown to be able to clean a room in mere minutes, almost as if he is flying across it. He is also capable of moving game pieces at blistering speed to win board games like shogi in just a matter of minutes.
