- "Pink5!"
- ―Pink5's roll call[src]
Hikaru Katsuragi (桂木 ひかる Katsuragi Hikaru) is Pink5 (ピンクファイブ Pinku Faibu) of the Biomen. She is a flutist.
History[]
Bioman[]
During the first assault by Neo Empire Gear on Technotopia 21, she was caught in the crossfire and ran into Bio Robo. Meeting Peebo, she was given a Techno Brace and became Pink5. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Enigmatic Giant Robo Arrives
She was able to befriend the evil computer Brain and teach it (or him) about friendship, which pays off since Brain sacrifices himself to save the Bioman as well as the world from destruction. Hikaru is descended from an upper-class noblewoman who was bombarded with the Bio Particles.
Turboranger[]
Hikaru and her team joined up with the other nine Sentai to stand behind the newest Sentai, the Turborangers, as they faced off against the Hundred Boma Tribes. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Great Gathering of 10 Sentai: Counting on You! Turboranger
Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai[]
Pink5 is among the Sentai warriors seen in clips when Miku Imamura (MegaPink) lectured Sae Taiga (GaoWhite) about the past female Super Sentai warriors and their shared mastery of disguise and habit of changing their clothing in the blink of an eye, something that Sae had never done before. MOVIE STORY-Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai
Boukenger[]
Hikaru was seen with her team in "The 30 Sentai Encyclopedia" where Natsuki and Sakura said that there was finally a two girl group.
Gokaiger[]
Legend War[]
Years later, Hikaru fought alongside not only her 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 Pink5 powers are later used by Ahim de Famille via the Ranger Keys.

Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Zangyack's final defeat, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed Hikaru and her teammates have their powers again. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Super Hero Taisen[]
Hikaru, alongside her team, among the majority of the Super Sentai heroes, was caught up in the "Super Hero Taisen" incident which eventually resulted in the Super Sentai teams and Kamen Riders joining forces to defeat both Dai-Zangyack and Dai-Shocker. During the final battle, she is seen fighting a Gormin and Arch Orponoch. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
Pink5 appeared with her team among the first 38 Super Sentai who collectively empowered Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Hikaru joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of the Pink Warrior Team but didn’t get to participate in the competition because her team was eliminated after losing the first round against Gunman Team.
Personality[]
Sweet yet strong, and a mistress of disguise. An unusually strong spirit yet with a strong motherly instinct. She plays the flute both to calm her spirits and to strengthen her resolve. She is willing to risk her life to save children from a mysterious plague, disguising herself as a nurse (she has a soft spot for nurses) to look at the patients, and later on, risking infection in order to find a cure.

The Pink5 Ranger Key (ピンクファイブレンジャーキー Pinku Faibu Renjā Kī) is Hikaru Katsuragi's personal Ranger Key and what became of her powers after she 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 Pink5 Ranger Key was mainly used by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink), who used it to fight as Pink5.
- When the Gokaigers became the Biomen while fighting Kiaido. TV STORY-Ep. 28: Wings are Eternal
The Bioman 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. Splitting up, the puppet Pink5 was defeated as part of a group of surviving Pink and White warrior keys by Gokai Pink and Super Gosei Pink. 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. Hikaru received her key and became Pink5 once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
