A swimmer and high diver. He is very good at aquatic battle. He is prone to chasing girls. He once befriended a Bohma named Rin (Bell Chime Bohma), whose people were oppressed by the evil Jarmin and caught inside a series of bells. TV STORY-Ep. 27: Girl Bohma Rin
In one episode, he was poisoned by Poison Bohma on his neck forcing Haruna to pretend herself to betray her comrades by aiding the Bohmas just to find the antidote to cure his poison. TV STORY-Ep. 20: Bohma Tribe Haruna
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Blue Turbo is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Daimon Tatsumi (GoYellow) lectured Kai Samezu (GaoBlue) about the past Sentai technical warriors and their fighting spirit. MOVIE STORY-Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Gokaiger
Legend War
Years later, Youhei fought alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Blue Turbo powers are later used by Joe Gibken via the Ranger Keys.

After the Gokaigers defeated the Zangyack, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed Youhei and his team have their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Mecha
The Turborangers are prone to having their powers taken away by the Bohma or running out of the fairy power empowering them; when they do, their entire suit outside their helmet visor becomes a pure white in color. This can be restored to the proper suit by restoring the fairy magic within them, generally through the power of their own youth.

Etymology
- His surname can be translated to "Beach" and his given name can be translated as "Peaceful Ocean", as his color is associated with the element of Water.
- The "ou" in his given name is the Kanji for his Color.
- His Phillipine dub name, Ian is a name of Scottish Gaelic origin, which is derived from the Hebrew given name יוֹחָנָן (Yohanan, Yôḥānān) and corresponds to the English name John. The spelling Ian is an Anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic forename Iain.[3]
Legend Sentai Devices
The Blue Turbo [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Blueturbo[1][2] Ranger Key (ブルーターボレンジャーキー, Burū Tābo Renjā Kī) is Youhei Hama's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key along with the majority of the Ranger Keys were collected by the Red Pirates and later used by the Gokaigers. The Blue Turbo Ranger Key was mainly used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue), who used it to fight as Blue Turbo.
- When the Gokaigers became the Turborangers while fighting Action Commander Bowser and his Zangyack force on Animarium. TV STORY-Ep. 9: Lion, Run
- When the Gokaigers became the Turborangers when they got them and the Carrangers mixed up. TV STORY-Ep. 14: Now More Road Safety
The Turboranger Keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The puppet Turborangers fired their V Turbo Bazooka alongside the Changemen, Flashmen, Maskmen, and Livemen, only to be swiftly defeated by the individual finisher attacks of the Gokaigers and Goseigers as they emerged from the resulting fireball. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Youhei received his key and became Blue Turbo once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
The Turboranger Avataro Gear allows any of the Core Donbrothers to transform into their respective Turboranger counterpart. It can be used by Shinichi Saruhara to transform into Blue Turbo.
Notes
- Youhei appeared on Twitter after the final Gokaiger episode, Farewell Space Pirates, alongside fellow Turboranger Riki Honoo to give a farewell to the Gokaiger even though he did not appear in the final episode.
- When he transforms into Blue Turbo in the Philippine Dub, he calls this as Turbo Blue.
