MMPR didn't do much copying from Zyuranger, instead they "adapted" other seasons into their characters.
Shiro Gou for Jason- Both have a sense of passion and responsibility. They both also have a chemistry with the yellow rangers of their team. Both of them held the team together, reminded everyone they needed their teamwork and was a pretty reliable leader. He also manages to catch up with Trini at times, which they have a contrast of personality at times yet they do have that on-screen chemistry though coupling is out of the question.
Shirou Akebono for Zack- Not anything much but the Kenya is an African nation and Shirou Akebono was a black ranger. Zack was a black American as the black ranger. Nothing racist here really, just the pride of being a black for me. Everything else is different.
Yousuke Shima for Billy- Though personality-wise they are different, they are both inventors in blue.
Mika Koizumi for Trini- While Mika bit the dust too early and still got overrated, her character was nonetheless somewhat reused for Trini. Trini didn't attempt to run away from her destiny (would have been cool if that storyline were added that after the first episode, she tries to run off but Jason convinces her she's needed so they can save their world). She was however a person though hesitant to fight, she was pretty much a skilled martial artist who could kick ass so basically what if Mika stayed an entire season. Mika also apparently had a fear of heights in episode two since when Psygorn held her quite high, she was really panicky and felt very nervous. She seemed to display fear while she fell off the building but that was conquered without explanation.
Sad to say, Thuy Trang died in the real world as Mika died in Bioman.
Hikaru Katsuragi for Kimberly- It pretty much surprised me that Kimberly was named to the pink ranger, while in Bioman, Pink Five was dubbed as Kimberly. So they do have their development in the sense that while they started out pretty weak they do get better. Kimberly was once in Trini's shadow like Hikaru was to Mika, however Kimberly eventually got better in combat before she was downplayed again to be Tommy's damsel in distress. She also had her gymnastic attributes from Miki and the hot student from Haruna but her development was closer to Hikaru for me- starting pretty weak then learning to fight.
