- "Five!... And with immediate speed, exterminate them!
DekaPink!" - ―DekaPink's roll call[src]
Koume Kodou (胡堂 小梅 Kodō Kōme) is DekaPink (デカピンク Deka Pinku) of the S.P.D. and Dekarangers, nicknamed "Umeko" (ウメコ ).
History[]
Dekaranger[]
Umeko rides the Machine Bull with Sen-chan and often is partnered up with him. She tends to be a ditz, but she has a good heart, and can often bring the team together under the direst of circumstances with her perkiness. She spends every moment she can in a bubble bath with her three rubber ducks, whom she calls Umeyo, Umenosuke, and Umegoro.
While Anubian Chief Doggie Kruger is the leader of Earth's Dekarangers, Umeko claims to be the "field leader" of the team. She is a master of disguise. Kruger gave her responsibility for Murphy K9, who was originally undisciplined to the point she put him into an armbar. However, since then, she and Murphy became close, until Murphy was transferred to Fire Squad and reformatted to become Ban's Battlizer Mode.
Umeko had been dating a man named Hironobu but was heartbroken when she heard him bragging to Sen-chan about fooling women. Although she was angry at Sen-chan for suspecting Hironobu to be a criminal, she later realizes that she has feelings for him. By Mahou Sentai Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, she and Sen are together, so to speak; however, Sen had forgotten about their date and angered her. As a result, she put Sen in a headlock. She also had a brief crush on Mikoto Nakadai/AbareKiller in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger vs. Abaranger but though upset about having him return to the afterlife she had to accept his request of letting him go back. Her number is 5.

Legend War[]
A few years later, Umeko 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 Sugormin commanders, Akarenger noticed the fleet moving towards them. He gathered all the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. The DekaPink powers are later used by Ahim de Famille via the Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Although other members of the Dekaranger team had given the Greater Power of their team to the Gokaigers, Umeko does lend a hand in Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle, giving the teams encouragement as well as encountering two fellow Sentai alums, Daigorou Oume and Ryo of the Heavenly Fire Star.

Kyuranger[]
Alerted to an illegal landing on Earth, Umeko and Sen arrested three individuals without visas who were assumed to be Alienizers: Shou Ronpo, Hammie, and the Anubian-esqe Garu. Taking them into custody at Neo DekaBase, the situation was cleared up when Doggie Kruger arrived. DekaPink worked with her teammates in DekaWing Robo, transforming into the DekaWing Cannon wielded by Kyutama Gattai RyuTeiOh, to keep open the wormhole which would allow the Kyurangers to return to their own space. Seeing the Kyurangers off, Umeko and Sen were reminded by Doggie to collect their visas to travel to the planet Waiha, where they were to be married. TV STORY-Space.18: Emergency Dispatch!
