- "The Fierce Full Moon! Mido Ninger! (
滾 る十六夜 ！ミドニンジャー！ Tagiru izayoi! Mido Ninjā!)" - ―Mido Ninger's roll call (as Kyuemon).[src]
Luna Kokonoe (九重 ルナ Kokonoe Runa) is NinninGreen (ニンニングリーン Ninnin Gurīn) of the Ninnin Girls, who later reveals herself to be possessed by Kyuemon Shingetsu Kibaoni, as Mido Ninger (ミドニンジャー Mido Ninjā), of the Ninningers.
History[]
With the blank green Nin Shuriken, now housed in the Igasaki home, it is later used by Sakurako Igasaki to recruit a new "Ninnin Girl" to fight alongside Kasumi Momochi and Fuka Igasaki against the "Ninnin Boys" for the right to be the Igasaki ninja team.
Sakurako gives the Nin Shuriken given to Luna, and she joins them just before the competition starts. Luna shows an admiration for Kinji Takigawa. Her attention causes him to feel as if there is something earily familiar about her. With all the members of the Ninnin Boys and Ninnin Girls paired up, Luna, as NinninGreen battles Kinji as Star Ninger. However, because of the machinations of the Yokais, Luna gets distracted and is soundly beaten by Star Ninger.
The Ninnin Girls still win the battle and become the ultimate Ninja team. However, Ariake no Kata arrives to battle them with Juza Yumihari, a Yokai Samurai general. Juza Yumihari soundly defeats the girls and sideswipes Luna just before absolutely thrashing Kasumi and Fuka, in full view of their mother, Sakurako. Believing them to be dead, Sakurako breaks down in tears, giving Ariake no Kata enough grief to power the resurrection of her son Mangetsu Kibaoni.
Luna reappears just in time, with the Ninningers together, with Fuka and Kasumi surviving. She saves them from one of Mangetsu's deadly attacks and reveals herself to be Kyuemon Shingetsu Kibaoni, whose spirit was possessing Luna. Now, as Mido Ninger, she battles with the Ninningers to rid the world of the Kibaoni Family. When they succeed, Luna/Kyuemon congratulates the Ninningers and departs from Luna's body, disappearing into the ether.
When Kasumi leaves the NinninGirls, Nagi suggests that he act as manager for Fuka and Luna as a new ninja idol duo. This suggests that Luna was allowed to keep the Midoninger shuriken and the title of Midoninger/NinninGreen even after Kyuemon abandoned her body.

Personality[]
As Luna, she is very cutesy and has a small chirpy voice. She is eager to assist the NinninGirls in their victory. She also appears to idolize Star Ninger among the Ninnin Boys. Her 'girly' demeanor doesn't hamper her in battle, as she is fully committed to her role as a Ninnin Girl.
As possessed by Kyuemon, she is very sure of herself and has a deep, almost boyish voice—Kyuemon's voice. She exhibits superior battle acumen, just like Kyuemon. Her attention to Star Ninger is given context, as they had a past together, both being Igasaki family outsiders who often clashed one-on-one for various reasons.

Ranger Key[]
Mido Ninger Ranger Key
The Mido Ninger Ranger Key (ミドニンジャーレンジャーキー Mido Ninjā Renjā Kī) is a Ranger Key released as part of the Ranger Key Set: 2000th Edition. It is unknown if it will appear in a future crossover. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. one of the Gokaigers, into Mido Ninger.
Notes[]
- Luna is the first female Green Ranger in Super Sentai history.
- When Luna first appears in the movie, she does the full Cure Princess
pose from Happiness Charge PreCure. This is because Megumi Han voices Hime Shirayuki/Cure Princess as well as Kemu-chan from Kaiju Step Wandabada and due to the fact that some of the animators from Pretty Cure animated the Ninnin Girls' finisher, Explosive Wave (衝撃波 Bakuretsu-ha).
Shurikenger being described as "Mido Ninger".
- "Mido Ninger" was previously used by Nagi to describe Shurikenger in Shinobi 43, accompanied by a spoof version of the Ninningers' roll call sequence featuring Shurikenger as Mido Ninger. This is a reference to Shurikenger's visor modeled after a shuriken, similar to the Ninningers' visors.
- Luna’s NinninGirls introduction as “the Idol of Idols” is similar to Shurikenger’s self-introduction as the “ninja of ninja”.
- Her helmet is a repainted Aka Ninger helmet. The original intended green ninja (Kyuemon) is a rival to the red ninja.
- Luna's name refers to the moon or crescent, which is also what Kyuemon's false surname "Izayoi" is referring to ("16th night").
