It's something I'd been wondering about for a while actually. It's definitely a much more affordable alternative for gimmick-heavy lines than, say, SHF, and a nice middle ground between that and basic Rider/Sentai figures.

Adopted, as it turns out! Friend of mine did a rough translation of the blurbs on the official site.

Gai of the Shakunetsu armor
name: Gai
voice: Ishibashi Hiiro
about: 14 years old. He was found to have the qualities to be a samurai trooper, and so he wears the Shakunetsu armor and fights against the youja. His sense of taste is different from ordinary people and he prefers something unusual.

Kaito of the Soukyuu armor
name: Uesugi Kaito
voice: Enoki Junya
about: 15 years old. Raised by his grandmother, Uesugi Yoshie. While he has an interest in rock music due to her influence, actually he also has a hidden hobby. He fights the youja wearing the Soukyuu armor.

Musashi of the Suiren armor
name: Houjou Musashi
voice: Murase Ayumu
about: 14 years old. He grew up in the orphanage "Forest of Truth." His ability as a samurai trooper was recognized and he became Musashi of the Suiren armor. He checks fortune telling daily on his phone and believes in that advice and lucky charms.

Yamato of the Kouya armor
name: Houjou Yamato
voice: Takeuchi Shunsuke
about: 16 years old. He is from the orphanage "Forest of Truth" and is like an older brother to Musashi. He has admiration for heroes and his sense of justice is stronger than anyone else. He's the one that supports the other members by lifting everyone's spirits. He fights wearing the Kouya armor.

Shion of the Senkou armor
name: Ishida Shion
voice: Kumagai Kentaro
about: 18 years old. A long-haired young man who often uses English words in conversations. Contrary to his appearance, he is compassionate and cares for his friends. He wears the Senkou armor and as the oldest he leads the other members.
