Super Sentai: Non-Color Teammate Names

I'm counting only select Extra Heroes. Whole teams that didn't have colors in their names: JAKQ, Changeman, Zyuranger, and Dairanger. I might be missing some teams. I think I am counting the heroes with the word from their team in their names, except for those in Hurricanger.

King Ranger
The Ohrangers had colors in their names, Toei consider him a Black Ranger. The kanji symbol of King is on his head and belt.

Signalman
In Carranger, he was an extra hero but anyway, he didn't have 'Racer' in their name.

Time Fire
I think he was the first team member to not have a color name in a team that had color names.

Goraijer
The Hurricanger had color names, but the Goraijer didn't, they had names of their insects: Kabuto Raijer and Kuwagatas Raijer. Some people were correcting me and I thought I made it clear, I guess not. I admit that maybe my wording was off. I didn't think the Goraijer had color names, because why the hell I would put it here in the first place?

Shurikenger
Shuriken is the star shape.

AbareKiller
First name is for me, culturally, is arguably the American team didn't want to use. Fine for Japan, but not for America. But a cool name none the less. But I wouldn't want kids saying 'Killer.'

AbareMax
Just a power-up but treated toy-wise as a sixth ranger.

DekaBreak
I still don't know what Break refers to.

DekaMaster
'Master' of them all, makes sense. Also, funny cause he's a dog. He's his own master.

Deka Swan
She's a swan and it's a swan.

Deka Bright
Cool name ever.

Magi Shine
He's shiny and his name is shine.

Magi Mother
She was a mother, obviously but I don't know, just a mother? She was a warrior, not just a mother.

GekiChopper
He can chop things.

GoseiKnight
Toei counts him as a Silver Ranger and doesn't have 'Silver' in his name and suit seemed the most like an Extra Hero.
