Female Yellow Rangers In Super Sentai


Okay, here's an old list I decided to update. Yellow rangers were usually male but there were times when they were female. In Power Rangers, most of the male yellow rangers are given female counterparts for some cultural reason. I admit I wasn't too shocked that Trini's counterpart in Zyuranger is a MAN because Turboranger had a male yellow ranger. I decided to update this post because of Haruka Kito herself. Here are the female yellow rangers in Super Sentai up to the present:

Mika Koizumi/Yellow Four 1 and Jun Yabuki/Yellow Four 2


She was the first yellow ranger in Super Sentai history. Sadly she's the first female ranger to be killed off too. Bioman wanted to do so but there was some behind-the-scenes conflict with Yuki Yaijima. Yuki abruptly left the show and not so many know why she did it. Mika was presented as a loner who just wanted to be left alone. A tragedy really that she should die as well after her brother died in Africa for some unknown reason. 

It was a controversial moment but it gave way too...


Jun Yabuki became the second Yellow Four to complete the severely weakened Bioman team. Replacing Mika also meant she became Farrah Cat's new rival though it wasn't that emphasized. 

Sarah/Yellow Flash 

She is the first female yellow ranger to be portrayed as the smart one of the team instead of the tough one. Flashman somehow had her as a favorite character because of how she tends to move the plot forward. In fact, she turns out to be the mad scientist's missing daughter too. 

Haruka/Yellow Mask 

Haruka presents herself as probably another attempt to remake Mika. Mika's ancestor was a female ninja. She's a female ninja. Like Mika, she also rivals the catwoman in her show namely Fuumin.

Remi Hoshikawa/Five Yellow 

She is the twin sister of Fumiya Hoshikawa/Five Black. Despite being the youngest, she's the one who practices Kung Fu well. She was also rivals with Zaza who was another catwoman. 

Juri Nijou/Oh Yellow

She is an acrobatic martial artist. She's also the first yellow ranger bad cook.


Natsumi Shinohara/Yellow Racer

She is the mechanical genius of the team, typical for women in Sentai. She's also probably what we'd get as a full-season version of Mika. Like Mika, she wears red and opposes the red ranger. Was it intentional that Natsumi should be such? She's pretty much like Mika one way or another. 

Chisato Jougasaki/Mega Yellow 

She is a tribute to Mika Koizumi in some way. this made me wish she was more of the rebel-type character and tried to leave the Megaranger team and have Kenta convince her to fight on. 

Ranru Itsuki/Abare Yellow 

She's a mechanical genius and far smarter than the rest of the team.


Jasmine Reimon/Deka Yellow 

She has a huge fanbase. Not only is she hot, but she's also smart and a skilled fighter. Is she the hottest Sentai heroine?

Natsuki Mamiya/Lilina/Bouken Yellow 

She is the first yellow ranger to be that babyish and to belong to another civilization. A parody of Maya from Lost Galaxy anybody?! I wonder if she's been drinking too much liquor behind the scenes?


Ran Uzaki/Geki Yellow 

She is the first female yellow ranger to be the actual leader of a Sentai team. There are times that I watch Gekiranger and she reminds me of Trini. Like Trini, she's hesitant to fight while she's actually a skilled martial artist. Was she intended to be a tribute to the said character? 

Saki Royama/Go-on Yellow 

She is the first female yellow ranger to influence a positive aura on the team. Personally, I'm now hating Go-Onger because of Carranger. I think she's okay but I'd pick Natsumi over her as yellow ranger. 


Kotoha Hanaori/Shinken Yellow 

She is the first female yellow ranger to substitute her older sister who was sickly. I wonder if she's even intended to be Ako Hayakasa's tribute from Jetman? She wasn't supposed to be a ranger but circumstances made her a ranger. 

Moune/Gosei Yellow

She's the second yellow ranger with a black ranger for a brother.


Luka/Gokai Yellow

She is the first yellow ranger to have a backstory of being a thief.  Also I consider her to be like Mika Koizumi except she didn't run away although she does oppose the red ranger sometimes.  Somehow she and Marvelous have chemistry as well.


Yoko Usami/Yellow Buster

She's another female yellow ranger and the sole female after Ranru of Abaranger. Personally, she can get too stiff compared to her Beast Morphers counterpart Zoey. I'm really thinking about how I'm always naming her stiff personality as a weakness for Go-Busters. Then again there's no perfect Super Sentai season, get it? 


Mio Natsumie/ToQ Yellow

It's hard to talk about her without getting into spoilers territory. It's because well, she and the ToQGers, are all children who suddenly grew up. She has a sports-minded personality. It'd be fun though to see a film where they all grew up.


Umika Kudo/Lupin Yellow

She's the yellow ranger of the trio that had a rivalry with the oddly-schemed Patrangers. I'm a fan of Lupinranger vs. Patranger for daring to be ambitious. She's okay but I can't give her too many high points either.


Haruka Kito/Onisister

She's the second yellow ranger named Haruka though she has NOTHING in common with Yelow Mask. Haruka's a student and an entry-level worker at the Cafe Donbura. That kinda makes me think of Zoey from Beast Morphers in one way or another.

  1. I don't think Natsuki is a parody of Maya from Lost Galaxy. Natsuki was a lot more childish than Maya was, though in a cute way.

  2. I think I'm tempted to make one for the Blue Rangers... both boys and girls...

  3. I consider zyuranger an anniversary season mainly due to the fact it changed and revolutionized sentai into what we know today.

  4. You forgot about Mio/ToQ#3 from ToQger.

  5. You forgot Mio Natsume/ToQ 3gou of Ressha Sentai ToQger! A sports-minded girl of the 2014 Super Sentai Series, Mio is also good at housework, but she's a tomboy. She also acts as a big sister. As of this year (2022), out of 41 Yellow Sentai Warriors throughout its 46 Seasons/47 Years run, 19 are all female (middle-aged women, mothers, bachelorettes, early adults and teenage girls).
    Speaking of two Harukas (Haruka/Yellow Mask of Hikari Sentai MaskMan and Haruka Kitou/OniSister of DonBrothers), they have differences 35 years apart. Like you said, the first generation Haruka was a ninja warrior while the second generation Haruka is a high school student with manga (comic book) illustration skills, but was falsely accused of plagiarism. Sounds familiar?
