Monica Moon Shingetsu Kibaoni, originally known as Monica Moon is the female general of the Bikini Rangers Academic Dynasty and she is the reserved page of Kibaoni. She commands the Yokai and always gathers the "Power of Fear" (恐れの力 Osore no Chikara?) in her Hyotan (瓢箪 Hyōtan?) container.
Character History
Long ago, Monica Moon was a female ninja who held a huge proficiency in ninjutsu. Eager for an apprenticeship, Yoshi Igasaki took her under his wing and trained her to follow his footsteps. But sometime later, she became fearful of her own power, so much that it had made her fall to the dark side and turning her into what she is now.

As mentioned by Angela White, Monica Moon was skillful and active in her early days as a ninja, and eagerly willing to become his student. But eventually, after developing fear of her own power, Monica Moon went astray and betrayed her teacher, ultimately falling to the dark side.
Notes
- The "moon" of her name refers to the "16th day moon", which is commonly known as the "full moon".
- Kyuemon is based on the nine-tailed kitsune (九尾の狐 Kyūbi no Kitsune?) and as such, sports an incomplete kitsune mask from Noh theatre. Considering her white pelts, she could be an evil parody of the Shinto god Inari's messengers, the Zenko (善狐? lit. "Good Fox"), which are said to take the form of white foxes.
- The mallet's shape can be referred to a folklore treasure, the Uchide no Kozuchi, the legendary lucky hammer. In the fable Issunboushi (One-inch boy), a boy the size of a thumb defeats an oni, steals his mallet, and uses it to become a full sized man (and marries the princess).
- The Lucky Hammer also appeared in an episode of GoGo Sentai Boukenger, where it was used to make human-sized opponents giant sized.
