History[]
Early Life[]
Kimberly was relatively new to Angel Grove, as she moved to the city only a few weeks before Rita's attack and at first is unable to get along with her classmates. She was called the "Salad Girl" by Zack and Trini in the early days of school due to an incident where she complained about a salad at a fancy restaurant Zack worked at, who was then fired by the manager when Kimberly's parents complained about "the help" even though Zack was just a busser. She harbored a little resentment of the move to Angel Grove, as she left all her old friends behind and was unfamiliar with her new surroundings such as Angel Grove High, even going so far as to state she hated the city. Making things worse was the constant arguing of her parents, their eventual divorce and seeing her father preparing to marry another woman named Kelly whom Kimberly does not get along with.
Becoming a Ranger[]
Kimberly was one of the original five Power Rangers chosen by Zordon when Rita Repulsa attacked Earth following her release from "The Space Dumpster". Her four teammates were coincidentally her closest friends; Jason Lee Scott, Zack Taylor, Billy Cranston and Trini Kwan. Kimberly received the Pterodactyl Power Coin and the Pterodactyl Dinozord, thus becoming the Pink Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. She was a capable gymnast and would later show that she also has some musical and artistic talent.
Kimberly was born and raised in Angel Grove, California but her parents eventually divorced. She was chosen to be the Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger due to her grace and inteligence. Day of the Dumpster

Notes[]
- Out of all the Rangers, Kimberly has the most episodes focusing on her.
- So far, Kimberly is the only Power Ranger who does gymnastics.
- As revealed in "Different Drum", Kimberly is fluent in American Sign Language.
- Kimberly coined the phrase "Morphinominal!", which has been used in many Power Ranger shows since the character's departure from the series.
- Kimberly was the very first Ranger in the series to appear onscreen. However, she is not the first to be officially introduced as her name is not mentioned until after Zack and Jason's.
- The name Kimberly was previously used when the 1984 Super Sentai Series Choudenshi Bioman was dubbed in Philippine English, as an English name for Hikaru Katsuragi (Pink Five).
- Her name was used originally in the Bio-Man pilot as a counterpart to Pink Five as the original pilot version and she was a Gemini at the time, not an Aquarius.
- Kimberly is the only Ranger (though not the only character) to appear in all three movies, though each of the three films takes place in a different continuity.
- The role of Kimberly was originally meant to be a stereotypical "dumb blonde"-type character, but was changed to more of a valley-girl type when Amy Jo was cast, which her gymnastics also contributed to.
- Kimberly, along with Tommy, Billy, Adam, Rocky and Jason are the only Rangers to appear in more than 100 episodes.
- Kimberly was voted the best Pink Ranger of all time in an ABC Family/Jetix poll.
- Kimberly is a playable character in Power Rangers Legacy Wars, in four different incarnations.
- It is not known what becomes of Kimberly after her appearance in the Turbo movie, This has led some fans to believe that, if the rejected romance between Jason and Kimberly in the "Turbo" movie were true, that Jason and Kimberly would now be a couple at this point in time, or maybe even married.
- Amit Bhaumik, the script-editor of Power Rangers: Wild Force, claimed in a 2005 interview that he had intended to reveal Kimberly had married Skull in a draft of Forever Red, and therefore would be the mother of future Power Rangers Samurai/Super Samurai character Spike, but this was dropped early in editing. Bhaumik said that he would've liked to have Amy Jo Johnson come back to reprise her role, as well as a few other past "Power Rangers" actors, but was unable to at the time. Whether Kimberly has ended up with her unnamed boyfriend mentioned in "Zeo", Jason or even Skull remains unexplained in any incarnation of "Power Rangers" since the character's last on-screen appearance on the show.
- A draft of the "goodbye" scene in "Forever Red", confirmed by Amit Bhaumik on Facebook when asked, also had Kimberly pick Tommy up and be confirmed to be his wife; he also stated that he is a fan of the relationship between Tommy and Kimberly in MMPR. This was a revisiting of a similar scene in which Kat was going to pick him up from the NASADA space port.
- Kimberly's birthday was given as February 14, making her an Aquarius.
- This also places her birthday on Valentine's Day.
- Kimberly's birthplace was Seattle, Washington.
- With regards to the future, Kimberly stated she wished to go to college, and was thinking about being a teacher as she loved working with little kids, but she also wanted to own a gym and coach gymnastics, as well as write.
