Go-Busters[]
She gained incredible kicking and jumping power from an accident, and as such this is her Buster Power. Her powers have a trade-off however. Her weakness is that if she runs out of calories for her "inner battery" to burn, she will be unable to move. Thus, she compensates by eating lots of candy.
13 years ago, when Messiah was newly created, it trapped the scientists and Buddy Roids into a small room. Yoko was among the trapped, as her mother was one of the scientists. After the head scientist teleported the facility to a dimension in hyper-space, Yoko, Ryuji, and Hiromu, as well as the Buddy Roids, were left behind. The little girl broke down, distraught that she had lost her mother. It was here that Hiromu promised that he would bring their parents back.

They arrive where the Kyoryugers are and manage to escape from Neo-Grifforzer and Neo-Geilton as they split up. Later, Yoko and Amy fought Escape as she told them that Vaglass is part the plan of awaking Space War God Voldos. Yoko let Amy escape to save Geki and Ryoga as she stays to fight Escape. She later meet up with her team, but they were too late as the Kyoryugers were brainwashed and enters the past to have the dinosaur extincted. Her team arrive at the Spirit Base as they inform Kuroki and Torin about the Kyoryugers' action. He then gives the Go-Busters a task to save Geki and Ryoga from Deboth, with Torin's assistance. As they arrive in the satellite, they were too late to save the Red warriors as they fought Deboth's Knights. Overpowered, they still continue fighting until J arrive. Much to their surprise, Jin appears as he reveals to them that he is also part of Vaglass' residual program as his data was stored in J. Her team fought back as they manage to destroy the satellite to restore the Dinosaur Sentai's Dino Hope. As Space War God Voldos is awakened and the Dinosaur Sentais were having trouble fighting the monster, they were about to join, but Beet Buster gave them the Go-Busters Zyudenchi as this is his final thing to do before he disappears.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Yoko Usami is portrayed by Arisa Komiya (小宮 有紗 Komiya Arisa). As a child, she is portrayed by Kokoro Hirasawa (平澤 宏々路 Hirasawa Kokoro). Yoko was briefly portrayed by Katsuhiro Suzuki (鈴木 勝大 Suzuki Katsuhiro) in Mission 28: Beware of Chickens, when Sprayloid 2 caused her appearance to change into that of Hiromu, though Arisa Komiya still provided Yoko's voice.
- As Yellow Buster, her suit actor is Yuichi Hachisuka (蜂須賀 祐一 Hachisuka Yūichi) whose previous role was Gokai Yellow in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. Like many female rangers, her suit actor is actually male, Yuichi Hachisuka having had only a few male roles since starting as ChangePhoenix in Dengeki Sentai Changeman. In Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z, her suit actor was Jiro Uchikawa (内川 仁朗 Uchikawa Jirō).
- Yellow Buster is notably the last female Ranger to be portrayed by a male suit actor, all heroines in succeeding series would be portrayed by female suit actors as Yuichi Hachisuka moved to portraying female villains.
- In the Korean dub of Go-Busters entitled Power Rangers Go-Busters, which aired in South Korea, Yoko is renamed Raby (from the word "rabbit"), or can be spelled Ravi (the same name as the Grid Battleforce Blue Ranger from Go-Busters' counterpart), while she keeps her Ranger name.
Design[]
- As Buster Yellow, she sports yellow pleather shirt with silver accent, a skirt with the same colour, black pleather trousers. For accesories, he wears: a pair of straps with the left one stores Transponder; belt with black strap and silver buckle bearing Go-Busters crest; and yellow gloves and boots. Her helmet bears the motif of a rabbit's head, and it also has a silver mouth piece. Additionally, the black visor is overlaid with a pair of blue sunglasses.
- When using Powered Custom, she gains: a yellow chest with a Transponder stored on the left; a pair of silver wrist armors; and a pair of silver boot armors. Her sunglasses overlaying the visor also has silver outline.
Etymology[]
Yoko's surname, Usami (宇佐見) consists several meanings: U (宇) means "eaves", but is also often used as an affix for anything space (宇宙 uchū) related. Sa (佐) means "to help", and Mi (見) means "to look/see".
