History[]
The Kunoichi-gumi first appear before Young Noble Junior, who orders them to aid the Shuten Douji Brothers in destroying the Kakurangers. Using Youjutsu Magic, the Kunoichi-gumi misdirect the Kakurangers into the Wandering Forest, and after luring away Nekomaru with catnip, they begin to hunt the Kakurangers with the Doji Brothers, separating them through smokescreens and continued attacks so they can take them down individually. They capture Seikai with ribbons and seemingly tie him to a tree, however when Tsuruhime goes to free him, she is captured in a net and drops her Doron Changer, while "Seikai" is revealed to be Suiren in disguise. Saizou battles the Doji Brothers on his own, but despite getting the upper-hand, Sakura and Ayame appear and threaten to kill Tsuruhime if Saizou does not drop his weapons. He reluctantly does so, and is badly beaten, leading to his and Tsuruhime's capture.
After capturing three of the Kakurangers, they pursue Jiraiya and Sasuke along with the Doji Brothers. Separating the two with a smokescreen, the Doji Brothers badly wound Jiraiya while the Kunoichi-gumi hold Sasuke off and beat him as well, before Jiraiya begs Sasuke to run. He does so, but are followed by the female ninjas, who blow him off a bridge with their Falling Cherry Blossoms attack.

concept art
- The Kunoichi Team mark a number of firsts:
- They are the first and only all-female Sentai team.
- They are the first Sentai team to not be a copy of their enemy team in costume or color.
- They are first feline-themed Sentai team.
- They are the first Sentai team who do not have a Red Ranger as a member of their team.
- If their status as an evil sentai is disregarded, three of their members would mark the first female members of their respective colors, with one technically marking the very first appearance of her designated color in the franchise.
- The Flowery Kunoichi Team is acknowledged as an Evil Sentai (悪の戦隊 Aku no Sentai), in the 30 Sentai Encyclopedia Special Files entry shown at the end of Task 45 of GoGo Sentai Boukenger.
- In Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Ep. 2: Lame Spirits Return! Call Forth a Crimson Full Blast of Delusion!, Kozukozu Mita cosplayed as Sakura.
- This team has two actresses who have been Sentai members on other teams:
- Sakura is portrayed by Keiko Hayase, who was more well known as Remi Hoshikawa (FiveYellow) of Chikyu Sentai Fiveman.
- Ran is portrayed by Chie Tanabe, who plays temporary GoGo-V member Mizuki Kido in the ninth episode.
