- "The Splendid Fighting Goddess. 'Supreme Technique,' Michelle Peng!"
- ―Master Peng's roll call
Michelle Peng (ミシェル・ペング Misheru Pengu, 19-49) represents the Supreme Technique (シュープリーム・テクニック Shūpurīmu Tekunikku) of the Master Triangle, as well as being a grand mistress of the Fierce Beast Penguin-Fist (激獣ペンギン拳 Geki Jū Penginken) style that utilizes boardsport skills in battle.
As such, she is an anthropomorphic penguin who is director of SCRTC's Sweden branch, receiving the summons to train the Gekirangers so they can save Master Sha-Fu from Rio. Though very sweet and bubbly in personality, Michelle is nicknamed the Splendid Fighting Goddess (華麗なる戦いの女神 Kareinaru Tatakai no Megami) due to her scary temper. She decides to teach Ran to perfect her "Technique", and the subsequent skateboarding competition ends in a tie at 100 points a piece.
Michelle is also one of the few women not to mind Elehung's advances most of the time and works as Gorie's assistant at the Juken Consultation Office, also entrusted with her mentor's strongest Geki Waza which she taught to Gou.
When she fights Rio and Mele, she says, "The Splendid Fighting Goddess. 'Supreme Technique,' Michelle Peng!" (華麗なる戦いの女神 「シュープリーム・テクニック」 ミシェル・ペング！ Kareinaru Tatakai no Megami. "Shūpurīmu Tekunikku," Misheru Pengu!).
