Hanarangers - Female Ninja Sentai in Kakuranger

In the wake of 2015 Super Sentai series that will be a ninja theme, let's revisited some of weird moment in super sentai involving ninja. Of course the one we dig in is in Kakuranger. The interesting part is the existence of Hanarangers, or in full name, Flowery Kunoichi Team (花のくノ一組 Hana no Kunoichi Gumi). Kunoichi is female counter part of ninja.

They are female villains to counter the heroes, Kakuranger. In the story, Hanarangers were created from cats. Apparently since Kakuranger itself is not very popular, the information for Hanarangers is also few. Let's revisited each member of Hanarangers now:
