Tsukiko Kaneko (金子 月子 Kaneko Tsukiko?) is Seiken Black (セイケンブラック Seiken Burakku?), the Black Ranger of the Seikengers. A 21 (later 22) year-old college student, Tsukiko was chosen by Artemis to become a Seikenger after the Delos Twin's decided the current Seikengers were in need of a few new additions following the destruction of Mania Fletcher. She is the older twin sister of Haruto Kaneko, the only daughter of Fumiko Kaneko, and the adoptive (formerly foster) older-sister of Reika Igarashi.

Personality[]
A true "Black Cat", Tsukiko is the cynic of the team. Headstrong, daring, and independent, she is the kind of person who prefers to work alone no matter what, and is very blunt, impulsive, and brave. Like the Ishioka Twins, Tsukiko and Haruto are almost complete polar opposites, even more so considering their patrons are Artemis (The Moon) and Apollo (The Sun) respectively. She is an extremely complex person who will do whatever necessary for the greater good, or just to get what she wants, and is extremely confident in her abilities. She is a skeptic who is distrustful of everyone to the point where she has fought her own twin on multiple occasions, and is in no way at all a pushover. Although she doesn't exactly intend it, she has a habit of scaring Haruto when asking him to do things to the point where he does whatever no questions asked, though after realizing this she mellowed down a bit. Despite being a generally unapproachable person, Tsukiko has a soft spot for children and animals, and is generally well liked by both while older humans don't approach her often. After being forced to join the Seikengers by Haruto, Tsukiko learned to work better with others, though she butted heads with Hyosuke for a long time even after befriending Sayaka and the younger Seikengers.
As the Champion of Artemis, Tsukiko is a night person who would easily sleep from dawn to dusk if it would allow her to remain a functional member of society. Strongest at dusk and midnight, Tsukiko is the kind of person who will sleep in until the afternoon and start her day when it's about to end. She is most productive at nighttime, often waking Haruto up at 2 am to do her homework. Soon to graduate college with a bachelor's degree in pre-veterinary medicine, she is often seen studying or volunteering at an animal shelter. As the daughter of a high school teacher, she has an advantage in college and always knows what academically to do, and is easily the most second most intelligent Seikenger, second only to Sayaka, the Champion of the Goddess of Wisdom. As the champion of one of the three Virgin Goddesses, Tsukiko, like Sayaka, has the support of all three goddesses, not just her own, behind her, giving her more freedom to speak her mind while on Olympus.
In her first appearance, Tsukiko came into her mother's class with Haruto for a presentation about college, and was a bit harsh to the students while Haruto was kinder. Afterwards, when the students came to them with questions, Haruto was the one who answered most of them while Tsukiko stared judgmentally at them, which she later said was unintentional. At first, Tsukiko, unlike her brother, was uninterested upon meeting the other Seikengers, causing the two to split up temporarily as Haruto wanted to join them. Some time later however, she was forced to reconsider this as she found that she was significantly weaker without her twin. After her mother began to foster Reika, Tsukiko began acting more like a big sister to her and the younger Seikengers, even more so after Fumiko adopted her. Overall, she loves Reika and Haruto, engages in "friendly" banter with Hyosuke (which both have said despite their friends knowing they don't argue friendly in the slightest), is friends with Sayaka, acts as a big sister to Kouta and Aiko, dislikes Hajime, and gets along well enough with Hilda. In the Seikenger hierarchy, Tsukiko is the fourth one down the list.
