Biography
Fiveman
Remi with twin Fumiya
The older twin sister of Fumiya. A 20 year old (in Gokaiger, she's 42 years old) music teacher skilled in kung fu. As twins, she and Fumiya would be mostly seen wearing the same outfit besides pants. Disastrous at housekeeping and cleaning, tasks she leaves to Kazumi or Arthur. She has excellent rhythm and musical sense. She is also a rhythmic gymnast and dancer, which she applies to her fighting. She teaches kids kung-fu in her spare time. In episode 4, she got drunk when water was turned into alcohol as the plan of one of Zone's minions, but decided to get herself even more drunk and managed to perform Zui Quan (drunken boxing). Remi also shows her mischievous side when she sprays her siblings with a water hose when they are drinking wine or champagne. In Episode 16, she was the one who found her student Kazuki who takes pictures on Gokiraagin who quickly steals someone elses food. She also reveals Gokiraagin from his student's picture as FiveYellow to reveal it towards Dongoros. Remi was later pranked by Kazuki who took a photo of her ready to eat an onigiri as instigated by her elder brother Gaku causing her to chase him.

The FiveYellow Ranger Key (ファイブイエローレンジャーキー Faibu Ierō Renjā Kī) is Remi Hoshikawa'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 FiveYellow Ranger Key was mainly used by Luka Millfy (Gokai Yellow), who used it to fight as FiveYellow.

Behind the scenes
Portrayal
Remi Hoshikawa is portrayed by Ryo Narushima (成嶋 涼 Narushima Ryō) (credited as Keiko Hayase (早瀬 恵子 Hayase Keiko)). As FiveYellow, her suit actor was Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi).
Notes
- Although her character is Fumiya's twin sister, her actress, Keiko Hayase, is actually six years younger than Fumiya's actor, Ryouhei Kobayashi. Her actress is also the youngest of the five cast members, and the only one who was born in the 70's unlike the others who were born in the 60's.
- What is more, Hayase is married to Kobayashi.
- Before starring in Fiveman, Keiko Hayase guest-starred in Kousoku Sentai Turboranger, the preceding series, as a character named Mika, who was the younger sister of the team's homeroom teacher. Ironically, her Turboranger character has the same first name as the original Yellow4, Mika Koizumi from Choudenshi Bioman, who was also the first female yellow ranger in Sentai History.
- She is the only female Yellow Ranger to be preceded and succeeded by male Yellow Rangers.
- Conversely, a male Yellow of another family team would be preceded and succeeded by females.
- Her Drunken Boxing episode would later be passed down to her Dairanger successor, Kazu of the Heavenly Time Star.
- Her name is derived from the Solfège music technique (the second and third notes, "Re" and "Mi").
- The song she taught to the children in the first episode was used several times in later series:
- In the 35th episode of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, when the Flowery Kunoichi Team infiltrated a children school, one of them taught the children the same song Remi taught. Remi's actress Keiko Hayase played one of Flower Ninjas, although she wasn't the one who taught the song in the Kakuranger episode.
- In Fireball Newcomer, the first episode of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, Umeko attempts calming down a panicking crowd by singing this particular song. This leads to some speculation that Umeko could've been one of Remi's pupils, if she's the same age as her actress. There is another connection: Umeko, like Remi, has some skills at Drunken Fist as revealed in the Dekaranger episode Twin Cam Angel.
- Although not together, Umeko and Remi both made appearances in Gokaiger.
- In Attack! Within the Megazord from Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, Yoko Usami sang the song to her fellow captives to cheer them up. Coincidentally, five years later, Yoko's actress Arisa Komiya would follow Keiko Hayase's lead and portray a villainess in a later Sentai season.
- The song is actually a popular Japanese children song titled Te no Hira wo Taiyou ni (手のひらを太陽に Te no Hira wo Taiyō ni, lit. The Sun Through My Palms) explaining its recurring usage.
- The symbol on Five Yellow's helmet is an eighth note or quaver, which symbolizes Remi's occupation as a music teacher.
- In the RPN-9 version, She was renamed as Jessica. As in the TV5 version her Japanese name is maintained.
- In the TV5 version, she was voiced by Gloria "Ollie" De Guzman also voices Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon the main protagonist in the manga and anime series, Sailor Moon.
- Interestingly, her voice is much like Usagi.
- In Super Megaforce, Gia used this suit as Supersonic Mode.
