The Bamboo Banbara is a Mutant Creature of the Neo-Human Empire Phantom Army and an antagonist in episode 21 of the 1973 Tokusatsu series Inazuman.

He is voiced by Masaki Iwana, who would later voice Udespar in Inazuman Flash. As "Yuka Noji", Bamboo Banbara is portrayed by Fukumi Ohara.

History[]

The Bamboo Banbara used its powers to awaken the red bamboo flower in Onino village, causing it to produce a spray that soon wiped out the whole village. When Goro Watari came to investigate, the Bamboo Banbara and two Phantom Soldiers disguised themselves as a family of farmers, with Bamboo Banbara assuming the identity of the daughter of the family Yuka Noji while the Phantom Soldiers assumed the forms of the parents, Daizo and Toshi Noji. When Goro asked for directions to Onino village, Daizo gave Goro directions on a shortcut to the village, which unknowingly led him into a trap. As Goro followed the path, the Bamboo Banbara reverted to his Neo-Human form and ambushed him, poisoning him and causing him to be knocked out. Bamboo Banbara then reverted to the form of Yuka Noji and had the Noji family take Goro in. Once Goro awoke, they gave him a special liquid and told him it was the antidote to the poison, when in fact it was a sleeping medicine made to knock him out.

However, Goro later awoke while Bamboo Banbara was discussing his plans with the two Phantom Soldiers on how to dispose of Goro. Learning of Bamboo Banbara's plans to watch him die of poison, Goro got up out of bed and headed over to Raijingo to escape, but in his weakened state he was noticed by Bamboo Banbara as Yuka and was recaptured. Bamboo Banbara then had the poisoned Goro placed in a coffin to be buried alive. Goro's friends Gosaku, Katsumi and Satoko then arrived in village, having gotten suspicious of Goro being absent for so long, and came across Yuka and the other villagers staging a funeral for Goro. After being told Goro had perished, the three reluctantly decided to leave and Daizo Noji offered to drive them to the bus station. Along the way however, Daizo showed his true form as a Phantom Soldier and attempted to dispose of them, but the three were able to overpower him and knock him out.

The three then dug up Goro and freed him from the coffin, but he was still too weak to move. It was then that Yuka Noji appeared and reverted to "her" true form as the Bamboo Banbara. Goro's friends escaped into an empty warehouse with his body, but the Bamboo Banbara set the warehouse on fire in an attempt to kill them. However, the fire negated the poison's effects on Goro and enabled him to become Sanagiman and to save his friends. Sanagiman then fought off Bamboo Banbara's accompanying Phantom Soldiers before assuming the form of Inazuman to face Bamboo Banbara. Bamboo Banbara dragged Inazuman into his bamboo world to gain an advantage over the mutant, but Inazuman was able to repel Bamboo Banbara's attacks before defeating him with his Lightning Strike, causing Bamboo Banbara's body to partially dissolve upon hitting the ground before catching fire and melting.
