## Biography

### Gorenger

Peggy was a chemical analyst and special weapons engineer, specializing in explosives, of EAGLE's Hokkaido branch until Jade Mask with the Zolders attacked and killed all the people with only Peggy surviving. She was called by Commander Gonpachi Edogawa to Snack Gon, the secret gateway to EAGLE Japan's main command center, along with the other survivors, Kaijo, Shinmei, Oiwa and Asuka.

There they were given special formfitting electronic battlesuits, which empower its wearer with various superhuman abilities. The five became the Gorengers, world's last hope of winning against Black Cross. They first fought with Gold Mask and destroyed him with their finisher, Gorenger Storm. Ep. 1: The Crimson Sun! The Invincible Gorengers

The Gorengers continued to battle Black Cross Army's forces and after long fights they defeated the leader of Black Cross, Black Cross Führer and they saved the world. Final Ep.: Great Crimson Victory!! Shine Forever, Five Stars

#### Legend War

Years later, Peggy fought alongside not only her own team, but every single Sentai ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacked the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Zgormin commanders, her team's leader, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He then gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The Momorenger powers are later utilized by Ahim de Famille via the Ranger Keys. Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

* **Profile**

*Peggy Matsuyama/Momorenger: Has a strength of using bombs while being a female of kind personality. Whether its the ball-shaped bom that is used for the special technique Gorenger Storm that is used by the five or the ball-shaped football used for the Gorenger Hurricane, both of which were items that were developed by Momo.*

### Super Sentai Battle Base

Momorenger is among the vast pantheon of Rangers which are avaliable in the mobile game *Super Sentai Battle Base*.

## Momorenger

As Momo Ranger, she was armed with an assortment of uniquely “feminine” weapons. Her heart-shaped earrings doubled as high impact bombs which she would hurl with a curt taunt -- "Are you ready?... Here we go!" (*Ii wa ne... Iku wa yo!*, *"Are you ready?... Here we go!"*?). She also carried heart-shaped “Momo Card” throwing shurikens, and a “Momo Mirror” jamming device which would confuse and confound her opponents.

She also had the “Momo Ceceli” which could be used to track down and spy on opponents. And ultimately, she carried the "Ranger Ball", the Gorengers' ultimate finisher weapon that would destroy the Masked Monster of the day, which the team members would pass around to each other like a soccer ball before Akarenger would deliver the finishing kick to the Masked Monster causing it to explode. She rides in the “Green Machine/Green Star” sidecar.

## Ranger Key

"Gorenger!"
―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The **Momorenger Ranger Key** (モモレンジャーレンジャーキー, *Momo Renjā Renjā Kī*?) is Peggy Matsuyama'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 Momorenger Ranger Key was mainly used by Ahim de Famille (Gokai Pink), who used it to fight as Momorenger.

* The Gokaigers became the Gorengers in their first ever Gokai Change on Earth. Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear
* Ahim also became Momorenger, this time on her own, while fighting Action Commander Zaggai. Ep. 13: Tell Me the Way
* The Gokaigers became the Gorengers in their baseball match with resurrected Black Cross Army monster Baseball Mask. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger the Movie: The Flying Ghost Ship

The Gorenger keys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, were briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that were fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. At the start of the battle, the Gorengers had a brief skirmish with the two teams alongside the keys of three recent teams, the Gekirangers, Go-Ongers, and Shinkengers. The Gorengers appeared again after all the other puppets were defeated, with a Gorenger Hurricane ball being kicked at Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red. The Gorengers stood behind the three recent teams who fired their cannons at the Gokaigers and Goseigers, who countered with their team finishers, taking down the three teams as Gokai Red and Super Gosei Red finished off the fake Gorengers.

After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. Peggy received her key and became Momorenger once more. Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

## Behind the scenes

### Portrayal

Peggy is portrayed by Lisa Komaki (小牧 リサ, *Komaki Risa*?). As Momorenger, she had several suit actors: Midori Naito, Koji Ueda, Ryoji Kurihara, Shoji Ozawa, Maki Kiyoda (Episodes 1-60), and Minoru Yokohama (episodes 61-84).

### Musical Themes

Momorenger has one leitmotif, entitled "Hana no Momorenger".

### Notes

* She's the only Gorenger to appear untransformed in *J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai vs. Gorenger*.
* Though the first female Sentai hero, Peggy did not wear a skirt in combat. With later standards, very few female heroes would follow her example.
	+ Those that did include *Battle Fever J*, *Goggle V*, *Dynaman*, *Bioman*, *Changeman*, *Flashman*, *Fiveman* and *Dekaranger*.

* Strangely, Momorenger is seen in a Pink Megaforce Ranger card in previews for the *Power Rangers Action Card Game* Series 3, Universe of Hope.  Her appearance is unexplained.
