It is the second tokusatsu series that Takara Tomy has been involved in following Madan Senki Ryukendo. It is directed by Masato Tsujino (辻野 正人 ,Tsujino Masato) and written by Shinichi Inotsume (猪爪 慎一 ,Inotsume Shin'ichi) and Hiroyuki Kawasaki (川崎 ヒロユキ ,Kawasaki Hiroyuki), the same team behind Ryukendo.
