YOKO KATO

Yoko Kato - EAGLE Headquarters Agent 007

Yoko Kato works at Snack Shop Gon. She has a cherry disposition and greets customers with a friendly smile. Yoko has a younger brother, Taro. Kenji enters and is greeted by the cook behind the counter. Yoko also greets him. Kenji orders coffee as he finds a place to sit at the counter. Two other young ladies sit together. One of them orders coffee as well while the other one orders ice cream. Daita shouts coming in as he enters Snack Shop Gon. Daita is greeted as well. Daita sits at the counter and orders four large curries. Cook tries to talk Daita out of his order. He tells Daita that his large curries are really large. No one can eat four of them. He tells him to go with two. But Daita insists on having four. Cook notes Daita is stubborn. Cook gets to work on the curries. He places the four large curries in front of Daita and thinks it will be too much for him. Daita immediately begins to dig into the curries. Daita compliments the cook on the curries. Cook stares at Daita as he makes quick work of the dishes. Peggy enters and orders ice cream as she sits next to Daita. Taro enters and Yoko asks him if he wants his allowance? The young boy replies yes. Yoko good naturedly pushes his head and gives him the money. Taro thanks Yoko and scampers off. Tsuyoshi enters and is greeted as well. After a few moments, the four customers exit the restaurant.

Yoko enters Snack Shop Gon and announces she is back. Cook welcomes her back. Daita is devouring his curry. He is surrounded by Tomoko, Haruko, Kenji, and Taro. Yoko leans over the counter and in a low voice tells Cook, the experiment has been made. She also shows him some papers. Cook, also in a low voice, tells her good work. The Communication Device goes off on Kenji's wrist. Kenji glances over at Daita and gives a small nod. They both get up and leave, making their way towards Gorenger Secret Base. There they had found out their next mission, to protect Professor Kudo and his young son, Koichi, and to prevent Black Cross Army from getting a hold of the Sand Beam. Kenji found Koichi in the park and brought him to Snack Shop Gon. Soon Koichi Kudo screams that he wants to go home and tries to run away from Snack Shop Gon. But he is quickly surrounded by Yoko, Daita, Kenji, Tomoko and Haruko. Daita tries to encourage Koichi to stay by telling him the curry is tasty. But it doesn't convince Koichi to stay and he makes dash for outside. Daita races out of Snack Shop Gon, searching for Koichi, who has managed to get away. Kenji races outside as well, followed by Yoko, Tomoko, and Haruko. Kenji shouts at Daita before you go get him, remember our infiltration! Daita returns to tell Kenji, that the kid was entrusted to me! He asks everyone to help. They all agree and all five run around searching for Koichi. Koichi is captured by the Black Cross Army. Eventually Koichi is rescued, along with Professor Kudo, Peggy, and Tsuyoshi. Samurai Mask is destroyed by the Gorengers and the plans for turning Earth into a desert are foiled.

Deep in thought, Daita eats his curry. It's clear he is puzzling over something. Cook overhears Daita talking to himself and looks up from the newspaper he was reading. Cook notices Daita is staring straight ahead and asks what is he gawking at? Daita doesn't answer and instead requests another bowl of curry. Cook tells Daita that his tab is getting excessive. Yoko gives a small giggle. Cook brings over another bowl and Daita immediately begins to eat it. Haruko and Tomoko enter. Haruko sits next to Daita, and with a grin, tells him, he is always eating. Tomoko sits on the other side of Haruko. Cook walks over to the two ladies and Tomoko passes a slip of paper to Cook. Discreetly Cook takes a look at the paper and microfilm. He places the microfilm back into the paper and quietly walks away. Suddenly Daita's Communication Device goes off. Daita asks where the Cook is, and Yoko shakes her head to signal she doesn't know. Daita quickly hurries away. Daita and Tsuyoshi go on a mission and retrieve a bomb from Black Cross Army. Later, Daita enters and leads Taro to the counter and asks Taro to give him the answer. (Taro had given Daita a riddle outside.) Taro excitedly answers, it's a papaya! Daita tells Taro he is very smart and then asks Cook for a large curry rice. Cook asks him, should you be eating curry rice now? Daita asks Cook, you're the voice, aren't you? Cook laughs nervously and asks, what are you joking about? "Customers" enter and sit at the tables. Yoko walks over to their tables and gives them glasses of water. Kenji, Peggy, Akira, and Tsuyoshi enter and walk up to the counter. Yoko asks the group what they would like and they pull out guns. One of the girls grabs a hold of Taro as the leader tells them not to move. A girl covers Taro's mouth with a cloth. Yoko yells her brother's name and Tsuyoshi holds her back. The cloth made Taro go to sleep. Daita is furious and calls them scum for harming a child. Cook agrees and tells them even the notorious Black Cross Army won't do harm to a child. The four "customers" reveal themselves to be actually Zolders. Daita feels terrible and realizes he must have been followed and apologizes to Cook. One of the Zolders tells them they want the bomb back. Tsuyoshi replies that they have disposed of it. Pointing a gun at Tsuyoshi's face, the Zolder tells him, take us to your base. Tsuyoshi reluctantly agrees. Tsuyoshi walks away. As the Zolder follows, Cook throws a fork into the side of the Zolder's neck. Yoko lands a karate chop against another Zolder. Akira fights another Zolder and then tosses it aside. Peggy lands a powerful kick to the same Zolder. A Zolder heads out, carrying Taro. Cook yells at Yellow to go after them! Daita starts to run, but stops and turns around. He tells Cook...you are the... Cook yells at him to shut up and go! Daita races out the door. Cook tells the rest to assemble and instructs them that they are on a mission to save Taro. Tsuyoshi realizes Cook is the Commander. Cook yells at them to go! They quickly race out. The Gorengers successfully rescue Taro and destroy Bronze Mask. Afterwards, Tsuyoshi, Daita, Akira, Kenji, and Peggy return to their base. The doors to where their Machines are kept open and standing inside is Yoko, Tomoko, and Haruko. Daita, Akira, Kenji, Peggy, and Tsuyoshi are very surprised and more so when cook steps out in a military uniform. Commander Edogawa tells them they did a good job. Peggy states, I knew it. Daita asks about the girls. Commander Edogawa introduces them as his bodyguards and messengers. He steps aside as Yoko steps forward and tells them she is EAGLE Headquarters Agent 007, Yoko Kato. Tomoko steps forward and introduces herself as Agent 008 Tomoko Hayashi. Haruko steps forward and tells them she is Agent 009, Haruko Nakamura. Tsuyoshi thanks them for their work. Akira tells them, I look forward to working with you all. Commander Edogawa reminds Daita that his tab is excessive. Pay up later. Daita replies that he will pay up later. I think I'm eating a little too much! Everyone laughs. Daita adds, your curry is just too good.

At Snack Shop Gon, Daita and Kenji sit at the counter. Akira is playing the guitar for Taro as Cook and Yoko work. Cook hands Daita a bowl of curry. Yoko asks him, how can you eat curry and rice all the time? Daita replies he is a bit hungry. Taro walks over to Daita and pats him on the back. Taro then asks Daita a riddle. Daita tells Taro he is not in the mood for riddles, he is worried. (No one knows where Peggy is.) Cook teases him, but you have time to eat. Akira tells them, it's emotional eating, which embarrasses Daita. Kenji offers to teach Taro another riddle. Tomoko and Haruko enter and walk up to the counter. Cook walks over to them and Tomoko informs him that Dr. Muto is supposed to be in Europe. Haruko continues but someone had spotted him this morning, taking a walk in the garden. Cook is surprised. Daita tells Kenji that they had been tricked. (Earlier in the day they had gone to Muto Bacteria Research Institute and was told Dr. Muto is out on a scientific conference in Europe and the laboratory would be closed for a week. In addition, the young lady who had visited asking for a mold analysis had come two hours ago but had already left.) Daita and Kenji hurry out. Cook looks over at Akira and motions for him to head out and Akira does so. Ki Ranger and Mido Ranger rescue Peggy, Dr. Muto and several scientists from the basement of the Bacteria Research Institute. The Gorengers were able to stop Jade Mask's plans and destroy him as well.

At Snack Shop Gon, Taro asks where are Daita and the others? Yoko responds, she doesn't know. Taro is bored since he can't do riddles with them. A cloaked figure enters. Yoko and Cook greet him. The cloaked figure sits down and doesn't respond to their greeting. Yoko asks what he would like to order? Disguised Poison Gas Mask responds, the gas! But quickly changes his order to curry. Yoko gives the order to Cook, but they both know something is wrong. Taro finally has someone to ask a riddle to, and tells him, it sucks gas fully into its face, floating in the big sky. What do you call such a monster? Can you figure it out, old man? Yoko tries to stop Taro by wrapping her arms around him. The cloaked figure replies, that is...an air balloon isn't it? Taro tells him he got it right. Gas begins to seep from beneath the cloaked figure's hat. Alarmed, Taro tells the "old man" he has smoke coming out of his hat. The cloaked figure replies it's not smoke, it's gas. The clocked figure walks up to the counter. He has a picture of Tsuyoshi and asks Cook if he knows him? Cook takes a look and responds he has not seen him. Taro wants to see the picture, but Yoko stops him and asks him a riddle to distract him. Taro answers quickly and Yoko praises him. The cloaked figure leaves. Yoko is relieved. Cook dashes out. Later, the Gorengers destroyed Poison Gas Mask with their Gorenger Storm.

Tsuyoshi and Kenji had been sent to stop Steel Ring Mask from stealing microfilm that contained information on EAGLE and the Gorengers. At Snack Shop Gon, Cook paces. He is worried that Kenji and Tsuyoshi haven't returned, which means the microfilm will be decrypted soon. Daita is confident Green and Red will get the microfilm and asks for seconds. Not in the mood to cook, Cook uses the excuse that he is out of rice. Daita tells him to just cook some more. Cook tells him he is out of grains too. Daita replies, just buy some more. Cook yells at him to shut up. Yoko tugs Daita's ear and tells him to calm down. Yoko asks him, how can you eat at a time like this? Cook adds, leave me alone. Daita removes Yoko's hand, telling her that hurts. Taro pokes his head in and asks a riddle - what kind of book doesn't break when you pull it? Taro enters and Daita answers, a dictionary. Taro tells him, that's right. Daita brags that he is smart. Later, they would heard from Kenji and Akira, Peggy, and Daita left to join them in their battle against Steel Ring Mask. Steel Ring Mask was destroyed by Gorenger Storm and the information on the Gorengers had not been decrypted.

At Snack Shop Gon, Yoko is busy serving customers. Daita and Taro are sitting at the counter eating. Taro asks Daita a riddle, what gains and loses weight, even though it doesn't eat or drink at all? Daita is puzzled. Yoko answers a moon. After a few moments of thought, Daita gets it. Tomoko walks in and heads straight over to Cook. She whispers to Cook that Kaijo got hurt. Cook leaves to enter Gorengers Secret Base. Kaijo had been injured by Crescent Moon Mask. Later, the Gorengers destroy Crescent Moon Mask.

Mr. Scott had been targeted by Poison Fang Mask and was now in critical condition in the hospital. He kept asking for his daughter, Amy. Amy wanted nothing to do with the father who had been absence most of her life. Amy was taken to Snack Shop Gon, where Yoko and Peggy kept an eye on her and Taro entertained her. Amy is telling Taro a riddle. Peggy is sitting close by, keeping an eye on them. Taro easily answers the riddle and Amy is impress - telling Taro he is a genius at riddles. Taro brags that he's even better than that. Yoko is not happy with Taro's smug attitude and tells him, that's enough. Peggy asks Amy, don't you want to see your father? Amy replies, I've lived without a father, haven't I? Yoko tries to encourage Amy to see her father. Amy replies, not my father. My father died 15 years ago. Mama raised me alone when I was young. She went through a lot of trouble. Yoko kindly asks, and then she passed away? Amy nods her head yes. Peggy adds, her grave is in Fuchu. Amy is surprised and asks Peggy how does she know that? Peggy replies, Mr. Scott was praying in front of it today. Amy considers what Peggy has told her. Peggy is not happy with Amy. A few moments later, Cook enters Snack Shop Gon and gives Peggy a nod. Peggy grabs Amy off her seat. Amy protests, what are you doing? Yoko walks over to the other side of Amy and tells her, let's go. Yoko and Peggy force Amy out of Snack Shop Gon. Soon, Peggy enters the hospital room, pulling Amy along. Yoko enters behind them. Amy hears her father mutter her name and tries not to be swayed. Tsuyoshi tells her to talk to her dad. Amy refuses. Yoko gets upset and tells Amy, this right here is your father! Peggy receives a message and passes it to the others - the serum will get here in two or three more minutes. Everyone is happy until the doctor tells them, we might not have two or three minutes. Amy reconsiders her actions. Tsuyoshi notices and tells her, your father...he left you and your mother and returned to his home country, all in order to complete a thesis instrumental to world peace. He came to Japan this time to take you back with him. Even if you still say you won't forgive your father, that's fine. But if you could save a single foreigner, then just call his name. Amy stares at her father a little more kindly. The doctor suddenly becomes alarmed and tells the group, we won't make it. This moves Amy to take action and she calls out to her father. A "doctor" enters the room and tells them the serum is here. Amy pleads for them to hurry and save her father. The "doctor" is about to inject Mr. Scott with the "serum" when Tsuyoshi stops him. The "doctor" asks, what are you doing? Tsuyoshi doesn't answer, just strikes the "doctor". The "doctor" turns back into a Zolder. Tsuyoshi fights the Zolder as another Zolder enters the room. Yoko, Peggy, Amy, and Kenji back away, their backs against a window. Poison Fang Mask breaks the window and pulls Amy through the window. Peggy and Kenji are busy fighting the Zolders. Once the Zolders are defeated, everyone heads out. The Gorengers track down Poison Fang Mask. They rescue Amy and fight various Zolders. Eventually Poison Fang Mask is destroyed by Gorenger Storm. After the battle, at Snack Shop Gon, Cook gives Daita his favorite dish. Daita tells Cook, it looks delicious, thanks for the food. Peggy, Tsuyoshi, and Kenji are sitting at the counter as well as Daita. Yoko and Akira join the group. Everyone is in high spirits and smiling. Peggy excitedly wonders if Amy's over there yet. Cook tells the group, right about now, she should be eating her first meal in her father's country. They all agree. Tsuyoshi states, there's no watering down a parent and child's bond. Akira playfully places a snake on the counter. Daita freaks out, believing it to be a super cobra. They all tease Daita, as it is only a rubber snake. Tsuyoshi grabs a hold of the snake and teases Peggy with it. Peggy gives a small scream. Kenji takes the snake from Tsuyoshi and scares Yoko with it.

Daita had been kidnapped by Witch Mask. Witch Mask also had stolen the Freeze Beam Bazooka from EAGLE. At Gorenger Secret Base, Yoko enters the room. She tells the group, Kanta No. 8 Team has gone to the rescue. Tsuyoshi becomes upset, this is not good. Tsuyoshi leaves to help Kanta No. 8 team, but he is too late. Witch Mask and it's Zolders have already destroyed the team. Later, Tsuyoshi is also captured by Witch Mask. With the help of Variblune, the rest of the Gorengers were able to rescue Daita and Tsuyoshi. Variblune also retrieved the Freeze Beam Bazooka. A battle followed and Witch Mask was destroyed by Gorenger Storm.

Black Cross Army had developed a Hurricane Diode which Wing Mask was ready to put into action. Aka Ranger, Momo Ranger, and Mido Ranger fought Wing Mask and several Zolders. Unfortunately, a young girl, Yuki, was close by and Wing Mask grabbed her. Peggy, Kenji, and Tsuyoshi put a plan together to rescue Yuki from Wing Mask. They put the plan into action. Peggy got Yuki and Kenji took her to the Gorengers' Secret Base. Later, Tsuyoshi and Kenji are with Commander Edogawa. Tsuyoshi is worried because Peggy is late. Kenji suggests that she might have been caught. Yoko walks in to report to Commander Edogawa.
