Takeshi's Gundan

These troops are Takeshi's personal group of guards, popularly known as the "Emerald Guards". They first protect the forts in 'Slipped Disks' and 'Uphill Garden', and then battle the contestants in the final 'Show Down'.
The first leader of the troop was Higashi, who later left to become Takeshi's advisor. Utaemon Omori then took over as leader in episode 44.
The other members of the group include Matsuo Bannai, Edamame Tsumami, Yurei Yanagi, Rakkyo Ide, Great Gidayu, Duncan, Third Nagashima, Rusher Itamae, Gadarukanaru Taka, Hakase Suidobashi, Sintarou Mizushima and Tadajij Kikuchi.
Although their main job is to hamper the contestants progress, they also act as marshals in some of the games like Animuddle and on The Ultimate Showdown. In the original Japanese episodes, they would often participate in several skits with Takeshi and Higashi but they are always the victims and 'Guinea Pigs' on some of the sketches. Furthermore, they also "demonstrate" in some of the new games. (Although, they always fails)
A new set of troops will be formed in the upcoming reboot due to begin in April 2023 with all-new cast.
