Akane Hino is the Dino Warriors Orange Ranger of the Dino Warrior Rangers.

Biography
Power Rangers Dino Warriors counterpart of Akane Hino from Smile PreCure.

She possesses a tomboyish personality, often reflected in the way she stands or sits. However, she seems to love cute things and has an especially soft spot for gorillas.

Akane is a passionate girl who loves making others laugh. The first impression she gives is that of the class jokester, always full of puns and jokes to make her classmates laugh. As such, she appears to be generally popular and well-liked. Her friends see her as an interesting girl who always manages to make them laugh. She has a habit of speaking her mind, which can get a little out of hand sometimes, such as when she introduced Ethan, Zoey, Kenzie and Dominic to Alex, Satori, Josh and Tessa as being a "gang leader", "Miss Popular", "crybaby", and "MMA pro" respectively, causing visible discomfort to the four. Kenzie, with her crybaby personality and fascination with superheroes, is often the target of Akane's jokes. However, there does not seem to be any ill-meaning behind the teasing, and the others seldom take offense.

Despite all the teasing, Akane is extremely loyal to her friends. She also tends to act before she thinks. For example, when she witnessed the five Dino Warrior Rangers being defeated by a giant, she remembered how Alex had helped her out, and immediately went to help Alex even though she had no chance of winning against the monster. Her strong wish to help her friend earned her the trust of the Ankylo WarriorZord and allowed her to morph into the Dino Warriors Orange Ranger.

Concerning being a Power Ranger, Akane was initially against the idea, turning down Alex's bold invitation. When she did become a Ranger, she seemed quite cool about the whole idea, ready to do her best in battle, though not overwhelmingly enthusiastic like Alex, Kenzie or Josh. Like Ethan, she does not understand why Alex and Kenzie are so hyped up about being "superheroes", and gives Alex a cool reception when he insists on the group coming up with a signature phrase/roll call.

"With the Dinosaurs, Together we Roar! Power Rangers Dino Warriors!"

In terms of sports, Akane is excellent at volleyball, easily beating her classmates in a friendly match. She aims to become the ace attacker of the school volleyball team and comes down hard on herself when she is unable to perform well. She is also an independent girl, as she told Alex that she does not normally allow others to help her out, but gave Alex a chance to help her with volleyball training due to her enthusiasm and willingness. She can also be extremely focused, as she turned down Alex's offer to become a Power Ranger as she wanted to focus more on her volleyball training.

Akane's parents, Daigo and Masako, run an okonomiyaki restaurant in Japan, and it is shown that Akane enjoys cooking.
