Akira Dentsuin/Sazer Remls: Age 29. Occupation Surgeon. Zodiac Gemini. Animal Rhinoceros Beetle

Back then when he first met Karin, Akira was awakened as Sazer Remls, tricked by the Akelon into fighting the Flame Tribe. Akira was the one who stood by Karin's side the longest, attacking his friends while still believing in and feeling for her. He may seem distant and cold but is loyal and compassionate and if it is required a fierce fighter. With his Knuckle Riser, Akira transforms into Sazer Remls, the wind warrior under the sign of Gemini; shaped after a Rhinoceros Beetle.

Ryoko Amemiya/Sazer Velsou: Age 25. Occupation Sports Teacher. Zodiac Aquarius. Animal Butterfly

Recruited and awakened by Karin as well, Ryouko is the ambitious fighter of the Wind Tribe, aware of her own skills and disliking weaklings and cowards. Along with that, she too is rather calculating and smart. It was her who firstly doubted the motivations of Karin and the first to leave the evil scientist, soon to be joined by Jin. It was her personal training which made Tappei the formidable fighter he is now. With her Knuckle Riser, Ryouko transforms into Sazer Velsou, the wind warrior under the sign of Aquarius; shaped after a Butterfly. Velsou's weapons are the Sel Cross, and her finishing move is called "Full Moon Slash".

Jin Hakariya/Sazer Dail: Age 26. Occupation Fashion Designer. Zodiac Libra. Animal Stag Beetle

The final member of the Wind Tribe, Jin, was discovered by Akira and joined them looking for fun rather than being devoted to his mission. He enjoys having his powers and playing around with them, always up for a challenge. Still, he enjoys teamwork and thus was soon convinced by Ryouko that the Sazers have to work as one big team. It turned out that he has the talent to show up just in time to out the odds. With his Knuckle Riser, Jin transforms into Sazer Dail, the wind warrior under the sign of Libra; shaped after a Stag Beetle.
