Kasumi Momochi (百地 霞, Momochi Kasumi) is MomoNinger (モモニンジャー, Momo Ninjā, Pink Ninja), who is known as The Smart Ninja (頭脳（ずのう）の忍者（にんじゃ）, Zunō no Ninja), the Pink Ranger of the Ninningers. She is nicknamed Sister Kasumi (カスミ姉, Kasumi-nee) by Yakumo.

Kasumi is 18 years old at the beginning of the series.

As a member of the Ninnin Girls, she is named NinninPink (ニンニンピンク, Ninnin Pinku).

History

One of Yoshitaka Igasaki's successors, Kasumi was one of his grandchildren chosen to become the Ninningers. She was called by Tsumuji Igasaki, her uncle and Takaharu and Fuka's father to return to their dojo despite being turned into ruins. After being reunited with the other Ninninger candidates, Tsumuji leads them to Gengetsu Kibaoni's resting place, which was sealed by Yoshitaka until the Sealing Shuriken were released by the revived Gengetsu and wandered off to various parts of the city. After the Ninningers destroy Yokai Kamaitachi, it grew large and they received five OtomoNin Shuriken, which they used to form Shurikenjin and finished the Yokai. Yoshitaka revealed himself to be much alive, but lectured them for their inexperience and led them to their new dojo that they will use as their new base. Like the others, Kasumi had no choice but to take the mantle of MomoNinger and learn Ninjutsu to stop Gengetsu and his followers. TV STORY-Shinobi 1: We're Ninja!

Alerted to a Yokai appearance, the Ninningers discovered only a Sealing Shuriken found by Fuka, realizing that someone else was now fighting the Yokai. Following this, it was revealed that Yakumo's mother, fashion designer Harukaze Kato, had the End Shuriken as an accessory on a designer dress she made for her new fashion show in Japan. The Ninningers then enacted their plan to recover the End Shuriken and swap it with a fake, with Kasumi and Fuka donning dresses as they distracted a security guard to take their picture as Takaharu and Yakumo sneaked in. However, matters were complicated as the Kibaoni Army moved to take the End Shuriken themselves, sending the magic Yokai Ittan-momen and the new Jukkarage grunts. His first act was to use a transformation spell to turn Fuka into a mouse, with Kasumi seemingly following, leading Takaharu to house them in a mouse cage. Nagi was then turned into a rock before the Ninningers caught up with the End Shuriken, with Yakumo being the last one standing when Takaharu was turned into a doll. However, he was able to outsmart Ittan-momen with a combination of magic and Ninpou as Kasumi, having used a decoy, acquired the End Shuriken by donning the dress itself in the guise of a Jukkarage. With the others changed back to normal when Yakumo used a reverse spell against Ittan-momen, the Ninningers found that the End Shuriken was a fake all along when Kyuemon attempted to take it before receiving unexpected aid from a sixth Ninninger with his own OtomoNin in the giant battle. TV STORY-Shinobi 9: Ninjutsu vs. Magic, the Great Battle!

When Fuka was scouted by a producer for his new movie featuring the popular actor SILVER as Dracula, the Ninningers, suspecting the Western Yokai Dracula was involved, went undercover and accompanied Fuka to her audition, with Kasumi coming as a potential actress alongside a disguised Yakumo and Nagi. Later, nearly all the candidates including Yakumo and Nagi fall victim to Dracula's bite, putting them into a deep sleep allowing him to harvest human fear through induced nightmares, with Kasumi falling victim as well while searching for him. Kasumi and the others soon wake up when their life energy is returned following Dracula's defeat by Fuka, Takaharu and Kinji. Kasumi, Yakumo and Nagi then board their OtomoNin to get back at Dracula, pushing him back enough for Takaharu to destroy the enlarged Western Yokai. TV STORY-Shinobi 25: It's Summer! Beware of Dracula

Kasumi finds that she has come 3rd in the mid-point Last Ninja race.

When Yoshitaka announced the mid-point results of the Last Ninja race, Kasumi was disappointed to learn that he had only made 3rd place. In reality, however, "grandad" was actually Nekomata's doppelganger Yokai Mataneko in disguise, who intended to get revenge against the Ninningers by breaking them up, hosting a lightning quiz round when the initial results failed. After the Ninningers noticed signs that something was amiss, Kasumi fetched a second Yoshitaka, exposing the first as a fake via catnip. The Ninningers then transformed to fight him, with Takaharu as AkaNininger Chozetsu defeating Mataneko with Shinobimaru after being accidentally enlarged alongside the Yokai. Afterwards, at the request of his grandchildren, Yoshitaka gave his true mid-point results, stating that they were all still at the starting line, with this news only giving them a strengthened resolve to continue training. TV STORY-Shinobi 26: It's Summer! Last Ninja Race Intermediate Announcement!

Finding Takaharu bringing a girl to the house, Kasumi along with Nagi, Yakumo and Kinji, discussed this new development while eavesdropping on the two, wondering what Fuka would make of her brother having a girlfriend. Inadvertently revealing themselves when Fuka arrived, it turned out that Takaharu's 'girlfriend', Kikyo Kousaka, was an old friend of his from his days travelling while training as a ninja, having returned due to the opening of a new ninja school by the ninja master Kiroku Ise, where she was to instruct new students. This intriuged the Ninningers, with Kasumi sneaking into the school with Yakumo and Kinji, they learned that Kiroku was involved with the Kibaoni Army following a skirmish with Masakage Tsugomori, warning Takaharu who came to confront him personally. Kasumi and the others later helped the students escape from the school before saving Takaharu, Kikyo and Kiroku from Puppet Ninja Kuroari who had been manipulating Kiroku, with the Ninningers proceeding to defeat the dark ninja. After Takaharu said goodbye to Kikyo, the Ninningers were amused that he misunderstood what Kikyo meant by wondering what they would be when they next met, assuring him that he didn't have to worry about it yet. TV STORY-Shinobi 30: Targeted Ninja School!

Beyond MomoNinger, Kasumi fought through the Yokai horde alongside Kinji before reuniting with the others as they backed-up Takaharu against Sakuya Kyuemon. With their unwavering resolve, all six Ninningers were able to restore their Nintality, transforming together and overcoming Sakuya Kyuemon, managing to get through to him before he was absorbed by Gengetsu who, as a giant, would be finally destroyed by the Ninningers in Gekiatsu Dai-Oh with help from Kyuemon, who left behind the End Shuriken before passing away. With the End Shuriken in their grasp, the Ninningers used it to wish for a world without the End Shuriken, finally wiping out the Yokai and restoring the damage that had been done to the world. With the title of Last Ninja passed onto them, the six Ninningers elected to go their seperate ways and meet back in two years to recollect what they have each done.

Naming herself the Last Science Ninja, Kasumi continued her scientific studies, using her own Ninninger Shuriken to pursue a scientific breakthrough. TV STORY-Shinobi Final Chapter: To a Future Without Hiding, Wasshoi!

Zyuohger vs. Ninninger

The Ninningers working together with the Zyuohgers.

She and the Ninningers are tasked by "Runrun" to take down the Zyuohgers for killing his kind. She would later be separated from his team after their first encounter with the Zyuohgers, She would later fight the Zyuohgers with the Ninningers resulting in their "death". "Runrun" thought both teams have died but it was all staged by both teams without Takaharu and Yamato's knowledge to trick "Runrun" into exposing himself.

As a memento of their team-up, Misao Mondou made a set of Zyuohger vs. Ninninger menko cards bearing the heroes' likenesses. TV STORY-Ep. 44: Monarch of the Humans

Chou Super Hero Taisen

Personality

Kasumi is a very reserved girl with something of a genius in her. She loves science and is very astute with mechanics, but she is unable to read between lines or take a hint. Hence there are times in which, in spite of her looks, she can be really sharp-tongued. At the same time, deep within her there are some very girly aspects she seldom shows. Kasumi sometimes shown to be a little mischievous, placing notes on her teammates/cousins during her first appearances.

Inspired by her grandfather's ability to communicate with aliens, she dreams of becoming an astronaut.

At the end of the Last Ninja Race, Yoshitaka noted that her wisdom and ingenuity, combined with experiencing defeat, enables her to lead others to excel.

Notes

• She shares the same first name as her actress, however the kanji is different.
• Though having fought using the Chozetsu Shuriken in Shinobi 39, Kasumi is the only Ninninger to have never assumed the armor through the Chozetsu Shoubu Changer either in or out of suit, having declined Shishi-Oh's offer twice, in Shinobi 39 and earlier in Shinobi 22. While neither of the female Ninningers assumed their Chozetsu Ninninger form, Fuka involuntarily assumed the Chozetsu armor out of suit in Shinobi 22.
• Kasumi can be briefly seen in Power Rangers Ninja Steel's first opening prologue.
