Biography
Abaranger
A sanguine technology mistress who owns a German BD-1 bicycle she nicknamed "Birdie." All she really wants is peace. She was formerly trained to be an idol, but Ranru hated it and left to work in the mechanical field. She is interested in anything mechanical, can create her own devices, and is a genius in mechanics. Ranru used to be afraid of nattō until she was forced to conquer it during a battle with a Trinoid. Ranru also carries a small camera with her and usually snaps photos of the enemy during mid-battle to come up with a strategy on how to defeat it. She sometimes has an itchy back and often wants others to scratch it for her. In the finale, Ranru goes to work at a racetrack. Her Burstosaur partner is Ptera.

The AbareYellow Ranger Key (アバレイエローレンジャーキー Abare Ierō Renjā Kī) is Ranru Itsuki'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 AbareYellow Ranger Key was mainly used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow), who used it to fight as AbareYellow.

Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Ranru Itsuki is portrayed by Aiko Itō (いとう あいこ Itō Aiko). As AbareYellow, her suit actor was Yūki Ono (小野 友紀 Ono Yūki).
Notes
- The white diamonds on the shoulders, arms and legs of Ranru's Attack Bandit Resistance suit are outlined black, in contrast to AbaRed and AbareBlue's (likely because the diamonds would otherwise be too difficult to see against the yellow of her suit).
- Ranru's last name is loosely derived from Juraki (ジュラ紀 ), which the Japanese term for the Jurassic Period (the kanji for Itsuki can also be read as "Ju").
- Ranru is the first female yellow since Chisato Jougasaki of Megaranger. Outside the three exceptions, every Yellow since then has been female.
- Ranru is the only Abaranger that has not had an onscreen appearance since the next season's VS movie:
- Asuka was on the Veteran Sentai team in GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai.
- Mikoto, Yukito, and even Emiri appear in cameos during Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.
- Ryouga and Yukito assist during Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: Dinosaur Great Battle! Farewell, Eternal Friends.
- She is the only Ranger in that movie whose actress didn't come back for the movie, as the other Zyuranger and Abaranger actors came back to at least voice their characters.
- It is likely that her actress has retired from acting prior to the Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters film.
- She is the only Ranger in that movie whose actress didn't come back for the movie, as the other Zyuranger and Abaranger actors came back to at least voice their characters.
