Koda

Koda is a Cro-Magnon caveman who a hundred thousand years ago found the Blue Energem in a Stegosaurus fossil and used its powers to save his little brother from a Smilodon attack. However, he fell off a cliff and ended up frozen in a glacier, but the Energem's powers kept him from dying. He is unfrozen in modern times upon being found by Kendall and Chase, ultimately becoming the Dino Charge Blue Ranger alongside the others (making him the oldest Power Ranger ever), using his extraordinary strength and sharp reflexes and senses to help in fights. He now works for the Amber Beach Museum as a digger on paleontological expeditions and as a dishwasher for the Dino Bite Cafe, while he tries to adapt to modern customs and technology. Koda speaks in broken, minimalist sentences as he is still learning the English language. Over time, he comes to see the other Dino Charge Rangers as not just his friends, but as his family. He is also the only Ranger whom Kendall allows to address her by her given name.[12]

As the Dino Charge Blue Ranger, taking advantage of his superhuman strength in a fight, he commands the Stego Zord that forms the right arm of the Dino Charge Megazord.[9]

Koda is portrayed by Yoshi Sudarso.[2][3][4][5] Sudarso has been a fan of Power Rangers since a child, and also enjoyed Time Force. On auditioning for the role, he said that he had known it was a caveman and had used a particular speech pattern when auditioning, but was thrown off by the cold read on the day that he was given the role.[6] Sudarso is also a fan of the Japanese television series Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger on which Dino Charge was based, and hooked Brennan Mejia on the show as well, leading the two of them and fellow cast member James Davies to leave their own ad libbed references to the show that made it into the final cut.[7]
