Honestly, I'm not entirely convinved Right WASN'T our first male pink ranger.
I mean, he first appears as a pink ranger in the handoff and practically spent more time in pink than Kagura did :p:D https://i0.wp.com/i1070.photobucket....TOQ01-1051.jpg Hell, there's even a Pink ToQ1 ranger key. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/...20150930134945 But, being serious, I don't see a true male pink to be very likely to ever happen. especially not for a main group. japan is a country very rooted in traditions and stuck in it's ways. Didn't they even avoid a kyoryu yellow because they didn't want to make it a boy since they thought yellow was too feminine? it's great we finally have a proper female green and blue and yellow have always been unisex in sentai. but I get the feeling we likely won't ever see a true female Red or true male Pink. a female black also seems unlikely to me. I'd be all for it if they did decide to do it of course, (as long as they didn't make Mr.Pink be a massive offensive gay stereotype.) since really, colours are just colours. there are no boy colours or girl colours. |
I'd be more inclined to agree with you, and still mostly do, if it wasn't for the existence of a female green. Black and Green have been male exclusive even longer then red's been but then suddenly, after 40 years of being male only, there are suddenly 2 female green rangers in the span of 3 years? Outside of shock value, and the obvious fact that they used up 2 of the 4 female colors in a single team, I just can figure out why they bothered to do this. While I don't think they're losing anything by having a female green, I'm not sure how much none red, no sixth rangers matter in the long run these days, I just don't see what they're gaining outside of the before mentioned shock value.

They didn't make a Kyoryu Yellow due to color balance (Since the Kyoryuger's featured a prominent amount of yellow) |

I just remembered hearing somewhere that supposedly that was the reason for there not being a KyoryuYellow. The fact their costumes had a lot of yellow does seem more likely though. |

Yellow being seen as a girl's color in Sentai at the time was definitely the reasoning it wasn't used in Kyoryuger. (this leads to the whole girls aren't as strong as guys thing)
I've always thought the color changing gimmick with ToQger was a bit of an experiment. You get kids used to seeing rangers in colors that are typically used by the other gender little by little until you can go ahead and do a full on series like that. It's not surprise that the very next series gave us a male yellow and the one after gave us a female blue, which hadn't been seen since Magiranger. Quote:

We've had pink (or at least, pink-ish, since people inevitably go with "no! it's magenta") main Riders, so I don't really think having male heroes sporting these colors is something Toei is completely opposed to in principle--though of course Sentai and Rider are different things with slightly different demographics that may be receptive to these things in different ways. Still, I can't imagine that the same parent company that is willing to have the face of one of their bigger franchises be a pink anime eyed guy would be so wary of making one of the supporting heroes in another one of their franchises don the pink. So, hopefully eventually.

Kenshin, noted anime/manga legend, often rocks a pink kimono. It can be done! And of course Dan from Street Fighter.
