Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger
Reiko Chiba was born in Fukushima Prefecture, and raised in Osaka Prefecture. She started her career as a model in 1991 before making her acting debut in the 1992 Super Sentai series "Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger" as Mei/Ptera Ranger. When the series was adapted into the US version "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers", it aired in Japan where Chiba, herself, re-dubbed both Ptera Ranger and the US footage of actress Amy Jo Johnson who played her character, now known as Kimberly Hart/Pink Ranger. After the end of the series, Chiba made her J-Pop debut on April 7, 1993 as a member of Aurora Gonin Musume. She also did a cameo voice appearance as herself in the anime movie "", performed the voice of Cham Cham in the "Samurai Shodown" video game series, and had a spot in the nightly radio show "Akihabara Young Denkikan". Chiba retired from the entertainment industry in 1995. However, she has made several public appearances in recent years at comic and anime conventions in the United States to help promote the official US release of Zyuranger on DVD.
