Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger is a Japanese television series. It is the 25th series in Toei's Super Sentai series. Gaoranger aired alongside Kamen Rider Agito. Its footage was used in Power Rangers Wild Force.

A millennium ago, humans fought a war against demon ogres known as the Orgs. With the help of the Power Animals, the ancient Gao Warriors were able to defeat the Orgs' leader Hyakkimaru, sealing the Orgs away along with one of their own. When the seal breaks, the Power Animals select a new generation of Gao Warriors to fight the freed Orgs and protect all life on Earth. The current Gao Warriors, the Gaorangers, are recruited to abandon their civilian lives and names while traveling to find the other Power Animals that were in hiding.
