Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Diane Martin is portrayed by Diane Martin, with her voice dubbed over by Lisa Komaki.
- As Miss America, her suit actors were Komaki (until episode 12), Eiko Onodera (episode 13 onwards) Tsutomu Kitagawa (the more dangerous stunts; he also served as an understudy for Kenji Ohba as Battle Kenya) and an uncredited stunt driver from Takeshi Racing Team (Motorcycle stunts).
Design[]
- Miss America wears a two-piece suit, with a pink leotard with sleeves and a brown pair of tights that flow down towards her feet. Her gloves and boots are both blue in color accentuated with a white scarf. She wears a white belt with a metal buckle and the letter "A" on it, which stands for "America". A shield on her chest possesses the "Stars and Stripes" of the flag of the United States; a star in the top of the field represents the number "5". She wears a pink mask on her helmet with "eyes" which are similar in form to the masks of Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. Beneath the mask is a rounded triangle in gray with a sculpted nose and mouth. Unique to Miss America compared to her teammates (and in fact all Sentai heroes) is a blonde wig she wears on top of her helmet with a red gem around her forehead holding it on top.
Etymology[]

Notes[]
- As Miss America, Diane Martin is:
- The first Sentai Pink to not have her helmet have a heart on it.
- The first female hero and Sentai Pink to be the last of her team in the role call. The respective heroines of Gorenger and J.A.K.Q. came before the Green heroes Midorenger and Clover King.
- The first and only Super Sentai character to have the exact same name as her actress.
- The first female Ranger to have a female suit actor, though two males also performed as her.
- The only female role for Tsutomu Kitagawa.
- Although the main focal concept of Battle Fever was around an interpretation of Marvel's Captain America, the costumes are actually inspired by the Marvel Golden Age superheroine Miss America (the namesake for Diane and Maria's identity); most notably the one-colored suit with a shield depicting the flag of each of the nations.
