- "The Strong Adventurer! Bouken Yellow!"
- ―Bouken Yellow's roll call[src]
Natsuki Mamiya (間宮 菜月 Mamiya Natsuki) or Lemurian Princess Lilina (レムリア人姫リリナ Remuria-jin Hime Ririna) is the Strong Adventurer [Citation needed]from 16 April 2023 (UTC), or Courageous Adventurer[1] Bouken Yellow, alternatively Boukenyellow[1][2][3] (強き冒険者ボウケンイエロー Tsuyoki Bōkensha Bōken Ierō) of the Boukengers.
History[]
Boukenger[]
Joining Boukenger[]
Her real name is Lilina, Princess of Lemuria. Natsuki is closely attached to Masumi Inou and met him a few years ago, when she was trapped under a rock in some ruins. The weight of that rock left her with amnesia. Natsuki is a rookie member of the Boukenger team.
Apparently, she can see into the immediate future (her visions are in grey-scale), as evidenced in Task 1 when she foresaw Souta being obliterated by a fake Heart of Gordom. TV STORY-Task. 1: The Heart of the Demon God
Later in Task 2, after a brief confrontation with a Dragonoid Soldier Jaryuu (which was interrupted by Souta and Sakura), Sakura scolded her, believing her to be part of the Negative Syndicates. In fact, Natsuki's feelings were hurt so badly that she briefly doubted her worthiness to the team and returned her Accellular to Masumi. It took the others to cheer her up and convince her to rejoin. Natsuki owns a bracelet that had stayed with her when Masumi found her. She believes that if someone recognizes it, they would be able to let her know who she really is. Because of the need to find out her true origin, Natsuki joined the Boukengers. TV STORY-Task. 2: The Dragon Thieves
The Revived Past[]
However in Task 14, she ceased to consider her past to be her top priority when Dark Shadow Tsukumogami Nendogami tried to falsify the past. TV STORY-Task. 14: The Revived Past She is the only Boukenger without a rival. In Task 24, she controlled DaiBouken and Ultimate DaiBouken by herself. TV STORY-Task. 24: The Hatsune Drum She calls Eiji Takaoka "Ei-chan".
The Sun of Lemuria[]
In Task 33, Natsuki's past is finally revealed. Kazuko Karamonoya (from Tasks 9 and 10) told Natsuki that she did have a vague memory about the bracelet and showed her a statue of a woman wearing the bracelet and holding Zubaan in his sword mode. After seeing this statue, both Natsuki and Zubaan started acting strangely. King Ryuuwon later revealed the truth about Natsuki and her sudden change: she is the last survivor of the Lemurian Civilization and her bracelet proves not only her origin but that she was an important member.
One hundred-thousand years ago, her parents (played by Eri Tanaka, who played Chisato Jogasaki/MegaYellow, and Keisuke Tsuchiya, who previously played the role of Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star/KirinRanger), knowing their civilization's nearing demise, left Natsuki in a Sleeping Capsule that would slow her growth speed to a rate of 1 year for every 5,000 years. This is why she is 19 years old at the beginning of the series.
Natsuki, thinking that she might finally find answers, is taken by Ryuuwon to where the capsule rests. They find not only that capsule, but the Precious known as the "Sun of Lemuria." When Natsuki touched the Precious, her entire appearance changed to that of a Lemurian and Grand Beast Rei brainwashed her into thinking that her parents' desire and her sacred duty was to activate the Sun of Lemuria and destroy humanity. TV STORY-Task. 33: The Sun of Lemuria
Having also obtained control over Zubaan, Natsuki, the Questers and Masumi, who wanted to rescue her, disappear. When Masumi finally broke into the Jaryuu Tribe's base, he tried to bring Natsuki back from the trance Rei had put her in. After remembering who she was, a Boukenger, the trance ended and Natsuki returned to her previous appearance. TV STORY-Task. 34: The Distant Memories
Imitations[]
A copy of Bouken Yellow was created by Ouga as part of the Evil Boukengers. TV STORY-Task. 40: The Western Ashu
An Oath for Lilina[]
After the entire event, she forgot everything that had happened up till the point after she touched the Sun of Lemuria. When she returns to the cave to return the Sun of Lemuria, her parents appear in a hologram to tell her that they wanted her to use the Sun to make the future better for humanity, and her real name, Lilina, is revealed.
Aftermath[]
At the end of the series, Natsuki becomes the wielder of Zubaan, as well as finding out her treasure is the memories she forged with the Boukengers.

Gokaiger[]
Legend War[]
A few years later, Natsuki 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. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the Gokaigers defeated the Zangyack, Marvelous returned the Ranger Keys to their original owners. It is assumed Natsuki and her team have their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Akibaranger[]
Natsuki is the first ever Sentai character we see Kozukozu Mita cosplaying in the first episode of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger (discounting Umeko in the opening sequence). TV STORY-Ep. 1: Lameness is Power
Bouken Yellow appears as part of the five-man Boukenger team alongside the other two Ludicrous Sentai, Dekaranger and Jetman, in Season Tsuu's alternate take on the events of the first season. The three official Sentai come to aid the Akibarangers in the final battle with the Stema Otsu Corporation. TV STORY-Ep. 1: Delusional War
The Boukengers, with Bouken Silver this time, later appeared with the now five official Sentai, transforming into their Ludicrous Power which combined with the others to form the Ludicrous Cannon Bazooka, which the Akibarangers used to destroy Kameari Alpaca. TV STORY-Ep. 10: Delusional Pillow Talk
Super Hero Taisen[]
Natsuki, alongside her team (Bouken Silver and Zubaan were absent), 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. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Super Hero Taisen Z[]
The five-man Boukenger team was part of a force of Sentai and Rider reinforcements led by Akarenger and Kamen Rider #1 that came to assist the Sentai and Riders of recent years who were overwhelmed by the revived monster army of the Space Crime Syndicate Madou. The combined forces of superheroes were able to turn the tide against the Madou army. They lined up and used their various finisher attacks to destroy the revived monsters.
After Demon King Psycho was destroyed and the battle was finally over, the Boukengers appeared standing on a cliff with all the other heroes who appeared to help, to say goodbye to the heroes of recent years before taking their leave. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
Bouken Yellow appeared with her team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom 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[]
Battle1: Who is the Strongest in History!?[]
Natsuki joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Super Strong Team, where she partnered with Green Sai and GaoBlack and fought in a three-way match against Shurikenger, Signalman and Ninjaman of Curveball Team in the first round of the competition and won the match. However, she and her teammates were defeated by Gaisoulg who arrived on the scene.
Battle2: The Secretive Armor of Mystery[]
In the third round, she partnered with Yellow Owl and GingaBlue and fought in a three-way match against Great Sword Man Zubaan, Gosei Knight and Go-On Gold of Gilded Team in the third round of the competition and won the match. However, her team was eliminated after losing the fourth round against the Martial Artist Team.
Personality[]
Natsuki is very naïve, which makes her seem ditzy. In fact, she freaked out when they first formed DaiBouken, as she and Masumi had not finished their training yet. She is always cheerful and friendly, and tries to uplift the spirits of everyone around her. She is also quite innocent and trusting as seen in Task 2, when she asks a Jaryuu Tribe member about her bracelet, hoping she might know her real identity. TV STORY-Task. 2: The Dragon Thieves
She often refers to herself in the third person, calling herself 'Natsuki'. She is also often claiming to be hungry and eating something.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Natsuki Mamiya is portrayed by Chise Nakamura (中村 知世 Nakamura Chise). As Bouken Yellow, her suit actor was Yūichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi) & Shoji Hachisuka (蜂須賀 昭二 Hachisuka Shoji).
- In the Korean dub of Boukenger entitled Power Rangers Treasure Force, which aired in South Korea, Natsuki is renamed "Hannah", while her designation is "Treasure Yellow". She is voiced by Chae Eui-jin (채의진?).
Design[]
- BoukenYellow sports yellow and white spandex with the big Boukenger crest across the chest and a pair of shoulder pads. She wears a silver belt. She also wears yellow gloves and boots, each pair comes with silver accesory. Her helmet visor resembles the windshield of the GoGo Dozer.
Etymology[]
- "Mamiya" (間宮 ) is from the surname of Japanese explorer Rinzo Mamiya (間宮 林蔵 Mamiya Rinzo), who traced that Sakhalin (Karafuto) was not a peninsula but an island. Incidentally, Rinzo had learned surveying techniques from Tadataka Inou, just as Masumi is a mentor of sorts to Natsuki.
- Natsuki's name in kanji "na" (菜 ) and "tsuki" (月 ) mean "cole (blossoms)" and "moon", which are often yellow.
Legend Sentai devices[]
- "Boukenger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Bouken Yellow, alternatively Boukenyellow[1][2][3] Ranger Key (ボウケンイエローレンジャーキー Bōken Iero Renjā Kī) is Natsuki Mamiya'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 Bouken Yellow Ranger Key was mainly used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow), who used it to fight as Bouken Yellow.
- Among several changes while taking on Action Commander Nanonanoda. TV STORY-Ep. 6: The Most Important Thing
- Alongside Joe (Bouken Blue) as they made their way to the battleship of the Special Destruction Unit. TV STORY-Ep. 10: Card Game

- As part of an all-yellow change on Christmas Eve to defeat a duo of Dogormin. TV STORY-Ep. 44: A Lovely Christmas Eve
The Boukenger 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 Bouken Yellow was defeated as part of a group of surviving Yellow warrior keys by Gokai Yellow and Super Gosei Yellow. 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. Natsuki received her key and became Bouken Yellow once more. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
