Which team of Japanese superheroes is this?
I actually forgot, but I'll send out a prize to whoever figures it out and proves it to me first. Remember—this is kind of a trick question because there was a different team of multicolored superheroes every year for several decades.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

I do believe that those are the unstoppable "Go Rangers" - at least that's what they called them when we watched them on TV here in Hawaii

Er, its actually Go Ranger. no 's' at the end. Couldn't edit my post. But close enough, unless your doing a google search maybe.

when i was a kid back home, the show was called star rangers. funny thing i did back then was to used my mom's red make-up compact as my mask and pretend i was star 1. funnier still was when i fell down a 8 ft. ledge because i couldn't see a fucking thing.
