Added DiffLines:

** ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonbrothers'' finally introduces the first male Pink Ranger in franchise history. However, there's a limit to how much girliness he'll go along with; while he doesn't mind wearing pink (or at least has gotten used to it by the time the show starts), he's not happy to find that PowerCopying other Pink Rangers means that he takes on their appearances right down to the MinidressOfPower.

** ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'' has Oren Pierre Alfonzo, a CampGay pastry chef whose flamboyancy is often PlayedForLaughs. But he's also ex-special forces, and got involved as Kamen Rider Bravo because he viewed the teenage main cast as young punks who needed to be taught what ''real'' fighting is like. (And while the Bravo armor isn't pink, he is shown lounging in a pink bathrobe at home at least once.)
