Sakuya Hikawa (Super Sentai: Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger vs Keisatsu Sentai Patranger)

Why, Why on earth did he even exist?

Sakuya Hikawa (陽川 咲也 Hikawa Sakuya) is Patren 2gou (パトレン2号 Patoren Nigō), the Green Ranger of the Patrangers, taking the position following the death of Satoru Shinonome.

Briefly transformed into a woman Sakuya was renamed Sakimi Hikawa (陽川 咲美 Hikawa Sakimi).

Why (S)he Sucks

1. He's basically just some laid-back butt-monkey and doesn't seem to have much character development not until the endgame arc.
2. He takes his relationship with Umika Hayami/Lupin Yellow extremely too far, to the point he turns into a pedophile or a sexual predator.
3. He annoyed Touma Yoimachi/Lupin Blue, where he went too far and reached Touma's breaking point, and not only that he never had his comeuppance, like Touma doing something to him in return.
4. When Sakuya was briefly transformed into a woman, it was a bit disturbing which is somewhat inappropriate towards younger children.
5. He was nothing but a spoiled brat and didn't act his age very often.
6. Despite being one of the two comic reliefs of the Patrangers, He fails miserably to be one, making really bad and forced jokes.
7. Like his predecessor, he seems to have trouble keeping up with his surroundings, and can't easily make a move when civilians are in danger, due to situation he's in.

Redeeming Qualities

1. Depending on your point of view, He somewhat matured up in the endgame arc and his later appearances.
2. He's not entirely horrible, there are still a few fans who root for him.
3. His design is really good to look at.
