Peebo's Robotic Gender Lost In Translation

Here's the argument they used to justify Peebo as a female - the robot was voiced by a female and had a female suit actor. Certain female rangers in Super Sentai especially the pink ranger had a male stunt double for certain more dangerous scenes to perform. In fact, episode 10 of Bioman had only the male stuntman perform the death of Mika Koizumi just in case you didn't notice.
If you've played Megaman Legends - the voice actor for Megaman was a female also but that doesn't make Megaman Volnutt a female. Some people insist Peebo is a male because of using "boku" and how a kiss from the female members gets the android to react. Basically, I think Peebo is a he in terms of programming. Peebo's voice actress Yoshiko Ohta also voiced several male characters such as Nobita in Doraemon and Leo in Jungle Emperor Leo or better known as Kimba the White Lion.
You may also want to think about Alpha Five in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers also has a female suit actor. Romy J. Sharf played the suit actor for the character. All succeeding suit actors for Alpha were also FEMALE namely Sandi Sellner and Donene Kistler. Though, the voice of Alpha Five was male.
Actually, the first obviously female android was Colon in Liveman. Peebo was simply lost in translation.
