Shiba House
Shiba House is the home of the Shiba clan of Samurai and the secret base of the Samurai Rangers. It is protected by a series of defensive symbols so that evil forces cannot enter. It is not known how long the Shiba House has existed, but it is at least as old as the previous generation of Samurai Rangers, appearing in flashbacks to that time, and it was the home of the Red Ranger and his family, along with Mentor Ji.
Based out of the Shiba House that originated from Mount Tsunobue, the Shinkengers use the kanji-based power called "Mojikara", translated as "Character Power"), which is passed down from one generation to the next (currently on the 18th Generation). Once becoming a Shinkenger, they must renounce their past lives in order to keep their friends and family safe in case a member of the Gedoushu targets them. The Shiba House's manor is protected by a barrier of the Modikara "protect", keeping the Shinkengers safe.
They use a Gap Sensor to detect the presence of a Gedoushu and its whereabouts. Prior to battle, the team announces their arrival by the first person (usually Takeru Shiba) saying their Shinkenger name and then full name, followed by each subsequent Shinkenger stating "The same..." followed by their color and full name (though this part is not carried on to the Kamen Rider Decade crossover). Takeru then says "The Samurai Sentai authorized by divine providence...", followed by the whole group saying "Shinkenger, Go Forth!!".
