- ―roll call[src]
Sakuya Hikawa (陽川 咲也 Hikawa Sakuya) is Patren 2gou (パトレン2号 Patoren Nigō), the Green Ranger of the Patrangers, taking the position following the death of Satoru Shinonome.
Briefly transformed into a woman by Pitch Cock, Sakuya was renamed Sakimi Hikawa (陽川 咲美 Hikawa Sakimi). TV STORY-Number 11: I Will Continue Shooting
History
A member of the Global Special Police Organization Japan Branch, Sakuya Hikawa was assigned as part of a three-member tactical unit established to counter the Interdimensional Crime Group Gangler. On their night shift, the three officers were sent to shut down the illegal casino of Gangler Monster Ruretta Gerou, only to be beaten by the notorious phantom thieves, the Lupinrangers. On the following day, the Tactical Unit were alerted by accountant robot Jim Carter to a Gangler incursion at the Kurehama Pier, which coincided with their receiving of the VS Changers, devices provided to counter the Gangler, by Commander Hilltop. Confronting the Gangler whom they found engaged in a fight with the Lupinrangers, the three GSPO officers, intending to arrest all parties, used the VS Changers to transform into the Patrangers, with Sakuya becoming Patren 2gou. TV STORY-Number 1: The Troublemaking Phantom Thieves
In the ensuing battle, Nargo took his leave as the two Sentai fought, with the Lupinrangers eventually taking off in their enlarged Dial Fighters; Patren 2gou's Trigger Machine was eluded by Lupin Yellow. Once Nargo returned to wreak havoc, the Patrangers rushed to intercept him, again coming second to the Lupinrangers, however, once the thieves reclaimed Nargo's piece of the Lupin Collection, Kairi was content to leave him to the Patrangers who, provided with the sentient Lupin Collection piece GoodStriker, combined them into Patren Ugou for the first time to perform their finisher and destroy him. Nargo was revived and enlarged immediately after, at which point the Lupinrangers rejoined the fray to engage him in their Fighters, with GoodStriker choosing to leave the Patrangers and provide his power to form the Kaitou Gattai LupinKaiser and destroy Gangler Monster once and for all. Following this, the Tactical Unit officers entered the Bistrot Jurer, where the thieves had hidden with GoodStriker. TV STORY-Number 2: International Police, Chase After Them
Oblivious to the thieves' identities, the officers intended to eat at the Bistro but were called away before they could order. Confronting Namero Bacho, the Patrangers were again met with the Lupinrangers, with the situation being further complicated when Patren 2gou lost his VS Changer to Lupin Blue before being imobilized by Namero's adhesive while his Changer was retrieved by 3gou, allowing the Gangler to get away. While Keiichiro scolded Sakuya for incompetence, Hilltop suggested that he make up for it as an anonymous eyewitness pointed the GSPO to Studio Bacho. Unbeknownst to the Patrangers, they had been used as bait by the Lupinrangers, who moved to acquire the Qui a fait qui as the police officers were all incapacitated upon entering the studio. However, Sakuya proved his worth by freeing himself and his team who, catching up with the Gangler, were met by GoodStriker, who used his power to combine their Trigger Machines into the Keisatsu Gattai PatKaiser for the first time, allowing them to destroy the enlarged Namero, at which point they were ejected as GoodStriker took his leave. Their work for the day done, the GSPO officers resumed their dinner date at the Bistrot Jurer. TV STORY-Number 3: Take Them Back No Matter What
Personality
Sakuya is social and laid-back, to the chagrin of his coworkers. He is the type that takes very little issue with making his opinions on things clear and does whatever he finds fun. This tends to put him at odds with the disciplined and mission-driven Keiichiro, who scolds him often.
Despite his laid-back demeanor, he has demonstrated a knack for thinking on-the-fly and improvising his way out of danger, single-handedly saving his allies from Namero's trap. While somewhat naive, he is competent when necessary. Sakuya admitted that he responds well to praises and compliments to Keiichiro.
Later, it was revealed that Sakuya did admire Keiichiro and Tsukasa when he was still a cadet trainee, Keiichiro’s motivation being the thing that made Sakuya regain his confidence back then.
He is also shown to be a playboy. As before he joined the GSPO, he has flirted with many girls, even standing up for them chivalrously after he joined. However, he instantly developed a crush on Umika Hayami and even becomes smitten with her later, unaware that she is his rival as Lupin Yellow. He continuously makes attempts to get with her, much to her estrangement to the situation.
Surprisingly, Sakuya is more popular in the eyes of children than Keiichiro. TV STORY- Number 15: The Work of a Police Officer
Because of his dealings with all of his superiors at works, Sakuya desires for someone looking up to him instead, suggesting to Toma to call him "Sir Sakuya" as he was his (soon to be temporary) instructor at the Empty Headed Dojo. When that was done, he became very buddy-buddy with Toma, much to his irritation. TV STORY-Number 27: Dancing Afterwards
Even with all of his carefree and fun-chasing escapades, Sakuya is still prone to being fired up when he is duped (such as having his money wasted on something he was genuinely into). It can get to the point that the background gets set on imaginary fire and the other Patrangers cannot keep up with him, who are both his superiors. Though he does get depressed afterwards. TV STORY-Number 27: Dancing Afterwards
Due to Sakuya's love for Umika, he is highly against the fact that she is a thief, especially when his love for her makes him reluctant to arrest her. However after Umika, Kairi and Toma reveal themselves as the Lupinrangers, Sakuya becomes shocked and breaks down as he has difficulty to accept Umika as a phantom thief. Despite this, he is not hesitate to help the thieves to finish off Goche's Experimental Body. Sakuya later accepts Umika as a phantom thief when she and Toma entrusts the Patrangers to use their Dial Fighters in their final battle against Dogranio.
After the defeat and the arrest of Dogranio Yaboon, Sakuya and the Patrangers are surprised about the return of the Lupinrangers. And unlike the rest of the Patrangers and Lupinrangers who have renewed their rivalry, Sakuya and Umika seemingly helped each other in fighting the Poderman, until their respective teams' face-off.

Notes
- There is an obvious height discrepancy with Sakuya and Keiichiro Asaka/Patren 1gou between their civilian and Sentai Ranger forms. While Sakuya is taller than Keiichiro in civilian form, for some reason when transformed, Patren 1gou is now taller than Patren 2gou.
- Sakuya is the first male Green Ranger to have a female predecessor.
- Sakuya is only VS Ranger in his series to not have child actor as his childhood past was not shown (like the other Patrangers, Kairi, Umika and Noel) and his age was not regressed to a child (like the Lupinrangers).
- He is the first Patranger to use a Kaitou Boost.
