Close. That would be Five Guys.
Fiveman is kinda generic. As an example, the designs are decent yet lack that pizazz one expects from a sentai suit. I mean the only differentiating element other than the colors are that their foreheads have the graphics of their respective school subject.
That said, I do love the setup of them being the first family sentai as well as the first sentai to be all teachers, a stark contrast to the previous Turboranger. Heck their names relate to their expertise as elementary school teachers:
Gaku/Five Red is a science teacher. Gaku depending on how it is used as a word is equivalent to the suffix"-ology", while independently it means to learn or academics. His forehead symbol is an atom.
Ken/Five Blue is the phys ed teacher. His name derives from the word Kenkou(健康) which means health. His forehead symbol is a person swimming.
Fumiya/Five Black is the Japanese teacher. The Fumi in Fumiya means language/lettter/literature depending on usage. His forehead symbol is the kanji 話.
Kazumi/Five Pink is the math teacher. The Kazu in Kazumi means number or count. Her forehead symbol is the *, the symbol used for multiplication in calculators.
Remi/Five Yellow is the music teacher. Her name is wordplay on RE and MI, two of the seven solfège syllables in a major scale: DO, RE, MI, FA, SOL, LA, and TI. Her forehead symbol is a musical note.
Fun fact, Five Black and Five Yellow were twins, and the two in real life after the show ended got married.
