Pretty Cure

    Saki Hyuuga (Cure Bloom/Cure Bright

Voiced by: Orie Kimoto

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saki26bloom2c_bright.jpg
"Zekkouchou!"English 
Left to right: Cure Bright, Saki, Cure Bloom

One of the Pretty Cure duo who met Mai Mishou five years prior. Much later, she would meet Mai again when they are suddenly attacked by Dark Fall's forces. Resolving to protect two mascots who appeared to her and Mai five years ago, she gains the power to become Cure Bloom to save the Land of Fountains and protect the Fountain of the Sun. Later in the show, she gains the power to become Cure Bright through Moop's power.


  • Big Ol' Eyebrows: Saki has interestingly drawn eyebrows that make hers look thicker than other characters, both in the series and compared to other characters from the entire franchise. Her eyebrows are quite distracting for many fans; the source of that "I want to lick Not-Nagisa's salty eyebrows" meme.
  • Boyish Short Hair: While not in her Cure form, she has short slicked-back hair which goes with her athletic personality.
  • Catchphrase: "I'm in top form!"note  Looks like she inherits it from her mother.
  • Cool Big Sis: In contrast to Nagisa who always argues with her brother Ryota, Saki really loves her little sister Minori. They even share the same bedroom.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Brown hair and brown eyes.
  • Expy: Just like Nagisa, she's an energetic tomboy with short orange hair who doesn't get along at first with the other lead.
  • Genki Girl: Highly energetic, cheerful and sporty.
  • Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: Just like Akudaikahn that can't take the fact he creates life well, Saki just simply can't understand Dark Fall's ideology. Raised in a household that recognizes life in everything, destroying only for the sake of it doesn't sit well with her because for her, life is just too precious.
  • Light 'em Up: As Cure Bright.
  • Locked Out of the Loop: She's the only one of the two duos that has no idea or has suspicion that Kaoru and Michiru are Dark Fall warriors. But it's because of that, she had no doubt on each other's intentions note , only seeing her friends as awkward, but kind-hearted people.
  • Malaproper: Whenever Shitataare is involved, often with hilarious results thanks to mispronouncing her name. She does the same to Karehaan too, calling him "curry pan".
  • Meaningful Name: "Saki" comes from the Japanese verb "saku", meaning "to bloom", while "Hyuuga" can be translated as "facing the sun".
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Just like Nagisa, she's the energetic jock Tomboy to Mai's calm and intellectual Girly Girl.
  • Trope Maker: Hyuuga Saki is very much an Expy to Misumi Nagisa. Serial Numbers Filed Off would be a more apt trope and had they not been made by the same company, there might have been legal issues. But as Cure Bloom, she has an almost entirely pink outfit which paves the way for every single succeeding Pretty Cure Pink Heroine (with two exceptions) having a pink outfit and/or pink hair.

    Mai Mishou (Cure Egret/Cure Windy

Voiced by: Atsuko Enomoto

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mai26egret2c_windy.jpg
Left to right: Cure Egret, Mai, Cure Windy

"The sparkling silver wing, Cure Egret!" / "The scented wind across the Earth, Cure Windy!"

A girl who met Saki five years ago at the Sky Tree during a festival. She moved back to Saki's hometown later and reunited with Saki at the same place. Resolving to protect Choppy and Flappy who appeared to her alongside her friend, she gains the power to become Cure Egret and save the Land of Fountains and protect the Fountain of the Sun. Later in the show, she gains the power to become Cure Windy through Foop's power.


  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: It's not as much as she lacks focus; she has too much focus on things that tickle her fancy, usually her drawings, and it's difficult to distract her out of that. Choppy has to physically shake her out of her trance if that happens.
  • Blow You Away: As Cure Windy, her powers focus on using wind.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Purple hair, purple eyes.
  • Expy: Just like Honoka, she's a calm studious girl with long dark hair who doesn't get along with her other Cure.
  • Forehead of Doom: Her forehead is much more prominent than Saki's.
  • Hyper-Awareness: This girl practically has a photographic memory and good eyes to notice that two people flying under moonlight hundred meters away are her classmates.
  • The Klutz: Not her, but her mother. She's an archaeologist that often has sleep attack in the middle of doing something because she's losing sleep from her work. Mai usually is the one who bears the brunt of the damage of her shattered plates and scattered papers.
  • Last-Name Basis: She calls everyone except Saki and the Kiryuu sisters with (Last name)-san. The only reason she calls Michiru and Kaoru with their given names is because their surname is the same.
  • Little Sister Heroine: Subtle, but it's implied that Mai becomes more responsible and well-mannered than her somewhat indecisive older brother because in the past she used to be an Annoying Younger Sibling. She bonds with Minori because of their shared adoration toward their older sibling and desire to shed said Annoying Younger Sibling stigma for sake of said adoration.
  • Meaningful Name: In Japanese "Mishou" is written with the characters for "beauty" and "fly". "Mai" translates to dance, but it can also refer to the fluttering of a bird's wings.
  • New Transfer Student: In Episode 1; unique in that she's transferring to come back to her homeland.
  • Nice Gal: Soft-spoken, well-mannered, and non-confrontational. She's loyal to her friends to the point of Can't Spit It Out when she saw Michiru and Kaoru as Dark Fall warriors because she can only see them as friends and she is unsure whether telling Saki is a right choice for their friendship.
  • Pacifist Wind: Mai Mishou as Cure Windy, has wind magic that allows her to fly, fight with wind magic, and has overall improved agility. She has a gentle, soft-spoken, and non-confrontational personality to go along with her Sensitive Artist characterization. This is to provide contrast between her and Saki, her Genki Girl partner for the series in a Energetic and Soft-Spoken Duo.
  • Sensitive Artist: Mai is a calm, gentle, and kind young girl, in contrast to her friend and Pretty Cure partner, Genki Girl Saki Hyuuga. Her intuitiveness seems to be part of the reason why she was able to know that the two people flying in the distance under the moonlight were her two classmates from hundreds of meters away. She loves art and joins the Art Club in school, where her art becomes so well regarded that she is asked to design the school's monument later on.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's the artistic studious Girly Girl to Saki's athletic Tomboy.

  • Non-Human Sidekick: An adorable critter from the Land of Fountains who sticks with Mai.
  • Oblivious to Love: Doesn't understand Flappy has a crush on her. Seems to reciprocate it after Flappy spat it out.

    Princess Filia 

Voiced by: Taeko Kawata

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f8865882_8d6e_47ba_ad5c_aff085faf01c.png
The ruler of the Land of Fountains.

Dark Fall

    Uzaina 
The monsters Akudaikahn's generals summon, made from a ghostly spirit possessing an object. Once purified the spirits from the Land of Fountains are freed. They usually take on the element the general has power over.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: Just like the Zakennas before them, they can possess objects and look like them when they attack.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Dorodoron's Uzainas usually are based on earth, or objects found on ground or under the ground. They can thus deal attacks based on dirt and earth.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: Kintolesky's monsters have their powers and appearance based on metal or metallic objects.
  • Making a Splash: Mizu Shitataare's Uzainas usually are based on water or water sources such as a faucet. As such, they can deal attacks based on water.
  • Meaningful Name: Their name is taken from the Japanese word for "it's annoying" (uzaina).
  • Monster of the Week: They're the second set of monsters who terrorize the Land of Greenery in the franchise.
  • Rock Monster: Some of Dorodoron's monsters are based on rocks found on the ground or under it.
  • When Trees Attack: Karehan's first Uzaina possesses a tree, turning it into a monstrous, mobile tree.

    Karehan 

Voiced by: Isshin Chiba

The first general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents wood and is very serious about his job.
  • Came Back Strong: After Gooyan steals the Fairy Charafe, he is revived with Gooyan's mark and far more strength than when the Cures first confronted him.
  • The Comically Serious: This guy is almost no-nonsense, except regarding his nickname Karecchi. He allows almost everyone to call him that.
  • Enemy Mine: He dislikes Moerumba (mostly because their elements are incompatible and Moerumba rubs him the wrong way), but when it comes to fighting Precure, the combination is simply devastating. The Cures only manage to survive because when victory is almost assured, Karehan and Moerumba start fighting again, forcing Gohyan to retreat them both.
  • The Generic Guy: He lacks the personality quirks of the other warriors.
  • Green Thumb: His powers revolve around wood.
  • Meaningful Name: "Kareha" means "dead leaves".

    Moerumba 

Voiced by: Keiichi Nanba

The second general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents fire and enjoys dancing and partying.
  • Ambiguously Gay: He seems to be hitting on Karehan after their revival, though it might have been just to mess with him.
  • Came Back Strong: He is revived alongside Karehan with more strength. They even did a Combination Attack to overpower the Pretty Cure.
  • Dance Battler: He often dances and snaps his fingers in battle with the Cures.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: "Senorita!"
  • Kick the Dog: Following too many failures, he threatens to harm Choppy and Flappy into revealing the Fountain of the Sun's location in front of Saki and Mai.
  • Laughably Evil: This guy really is fun to watch on screen, even if he is the bad guy.
  • Leeroy Jenkins: Basically his Fatal Flaw; he's too impatient to attack strategically (even Kintolesky is better at this than him), using two Uzaina at once to overwhelm the girls in his arc's last episode. As warriors of Dark Fall die from using up all their Miracle Drops to make Uzainas and taking too much damage, this is an incredibly stupid move as the Cures' finisher is Twin Stream Splash... and this happens again when Gohyan resurrects all the generals. He's such a glory seeker that he ignores Kintolesky's warning and charges head on to his seemingly defeated opponents, only to get blasted at point blank twice.
  • Meaningful Name: "Moeru" means burn, while rumba is self-explanatory.
  • Playing with Fire: His powers revolve around fire.
  • Sissy Villain: He has a feminine vibe to his character.
  • Verbal Tic: Likes to say "Cha Cha" at the end of his sentences.

    Dorodoron 

Voiced by: Mitsuo Iwata

The third general of Dark Fall to appear. He represents earth and is rather bad at his job.

    Michiru and Kaoru Kiryuu 

Voiced by: Yuriko Fuchizaki (Michiru), Yuka Imai > Akemi Okamura (Kaoru)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/480eadf0_31cb_4d32_9f23_ffc1b4fa84d3.png
Michiru / Cure Bright
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/e3226fb0_8420_41b8_9c0f_ff0998d65f49.png
Kaoru / Cure Windy
Two girls who are Akudaikahn’s children.
  • Artificial Humanoid: Unlike the other members of Dark Fall, who were constructed from their element, Akudaikahn created the Kiryuu sisters whole cloth. This may explain why both of them are a...
    • Blank Slate: Much of their development comes from being exposed to the human world, and, of course, friendship.
  • Big Damn Heroes: In episode 42, they are reborn and appear in front of Precure to protect them from the also reborn Dorodoron and Karehaan.
  • Brutal Honesty: At least at first.
  • Convenient Coma/Sealed Good in a Can: Following the Final Boss Preview with Akudaikhan, they were placed in limbo until they responded and returned to Saki and Mai to help them against Dark Fall.
  • Cool Big Sis: Kaoru is this to Minori.
  • Curtains Match the Window: Blue hair and eyes for Kaoru, red for Michiru.
  • Creepy Twins: They're twin sisters who are working for the villains.
  • Dark Magical Girl: They possess powers to fight the Pretty Cure and they're working for the villains.
  • Disney Death: Twice! First when Akudaikahn whacks them out as they help Saki and Mai escape and the second right after they defeat Gooyan.
  • Demoted to Extra: Despite being so important in the series, they only earned a small cameo in Pretty Cure All Stars, while the second upgrades it to around three lines of dialogue.
  • 11th-Hour Superpower: They gain Moop and Foop's powers of the wind and the moon during the Cures' final battle with Gooyan.
  • Emotionless Girl: Kaoru at first. Michiru is friendlier from the beginning, but even she has her moments.
  • Empty Eyes: Not as dull of a color as most other examples, but there is a sense of lifelessness in their eyes. It's worse when they fight the Cures, as it makes them look inhuman. The glossy look slowly disappears as they make their Heel–Face Turn bit by bit until the eyes are completely normal-looking at the last few episodes.
  • Evil Redhead: Michiru has reddish-maroon hair and is working with Dark Fall to defeat the Cures. At first, anyway.
  • Forehead of Doom: Kaoru has a large forehead.
  • Heel–Face Turn: Due to their friendship with Saki and Mai, they help them against Akudaikhan and end up getting sealed away and placed into a coma. Once revived, they both cast their lot with Saki and Mai against Dark Fall.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: At the end of the Final Boss Preview against Akudaikahn, they undergo this when they save the Cures by sending them away from Dark Fall. It turns out they didn't die, but were sealed away.
  • Licked by the Dog: Minori takes a liking to Kaoru, and calls her Kaoru-oneesan. Kaoru feels ambivalent towards her.
  • Meaningful Name: "Kiryuu" is written with the character for "fog" and another character that means "life" or "birth". Michiru means "to be full" as in a full moon, while Kaoru means "fragrance".
  • No Body Left Behind: They very nearly become this.
  • No Social Skills: Obviously justified, what with their origins and all. They grow out of this.
  • Pacifist Wind: Downplayed. Though Kaoru doesn't start the story with any wind association and exhibits much more of a cold, detached Brutal Honesty personality for most of the story. However, when her and her twin sister Michiru are forced to fight Saki and Mai, whereas her Michiru on a denial fuelled rage, Kaoru realizes that fighting Saki and Mai isn't right, calms Michiru down to avoid doing so, and reconciles with Saki and Mai. Soon after, Kaoru acquires the ability to transform into Cure Windy.
  • Pet the Dog: Saving and sparing Moop and Fuup's lives, Kaoru towards Minori and a minor instance of her helping a snail get back up on a leaf.
  • Pure Magic Being: They are made from "the power of destruction", which leads to problems when they turn against Dark Fall - if the power of destruction vanishes, so do they. When they do begin to vanish, they're saved by the spirits of the Earth, and the Power of Friendship.
  • Sibling Yin-Yang: Exist in subverted archetypes; Michiru might be the friendlier of the two but she's actually a type B Stepford Smiler who doesn't understand the reason of such novelties, while Kaoru is more prone of Brutal Honesty because she's insightful of her surrounding and doesn't see the point of faking her concern. Then they play it straight; when they face their inevitable fight with the Cures, Michiru quickly despairs and goes into a berserk denial, while Kaoru notices that fighting is not something that they want, makes peace with her contradicting existence and stops her sister.
  • Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: They only appear briefly in the second ending credits sequence.
  • Super Intelligence: At one point they say they can read a school textbook once and remember it all.
  • Unperson: Everybody but Saki, Mai and the mascots forget that they ever existed after they disappear.
  • Villainous Rescue: Helping Precure in their last fight against Dorodoron by cutting his web that has tied them up.

    Mizu Shitataare 

Voiced by: Naoko Matsui

The fourth general of Dark Fall to appear. She represents water and is the only female of the five generals.
  • Accidental Misnaming: She always gets angry at Saki for getting her name wrong...
  • Enemy Mine: The reason why she invokes I Was Just Passing Through, Thinking Out Loud, and open a portal directly into Gooyan's lair; she's so furious that Gooyan is one step away from her by capturing Flappy and Choppy, she decides to help the Cures reclaim their fairies.
  • An Ice Person: Or water, but ice works just as well.
  • Inferiority Superiority Complex: She seems to compete with Kintolesky for the title of Dark Fall's strongest, and being constantly one-upped by both him and the Cures really gets into her skin. Her interaction with the Cures really gets into It's Personal territory because of this reason, with both sides are not only physically clashing but also taunting psychologically and exchanging trash-talk.
  • Kick the Dog: Taunting Mai and Saki via reminding them of Kaoru and Michiru's Fate Worse than Death.
  • Lady of War: Ignoring her personality, she's actually a quite graceful fighter. She opts to dodge any attack with twirling motions and redirects physical attacks with her hands, not unlike Cure Egret herself. Most visible in DX 2, when she dodges Prism Chain with a simple twirl before charging at Precure 5 team, while Moerumba jumps away from the attack before it connects.
  • Laughably Evil: She's not as silly as Moerumba, but she's very funny at times.
  • Making a Splash: Her elemental powers revolve around water.
  • Meaningful Name:"Mizu" means "water" and while "shitataru", means "dripping".
  • Minion Shipping: Has feelings for Kintolesky.
  • Noblewoman's Laugh: She's quite good at cackling like a haughty rich noble.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Notably happens in almost all her appearances with her disguise doing little to mask her exterior.
  • Spell My Name with an S: That Mizu might be a Ms.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: She shapeshifter into human disguises to keep tables on Mai and Saki.
  • Water Is Womanly: The sole female general, Ms. Shitataare, is themed around the element of water.

    Kintolesky 

Voiced by: Jurota Kosugi

The fifth and final general to appear. He represents metal and is a bodybuilder who enjoys fighting strong opponents.
  • Blood Knight: He enjoys fighting strong opponents, whether they be the Pretty Cure or the defecting Kiryuu Sisters.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Due to his Blood Knight tendencies. Early on he even says Earth isn't so bad, but he simply does not comprehend that not everyone likes fighting, or that there are more important things than victory.
  • Dumb Muscle: A subversion. He's not stupid, but he dislikes using strategy. In fact the first time he tries using strategy he steals Saki's school festival costume, uses it to surprise Mai...and that's it. He even admits he didn't see the point. But this doesn't stop him from using Reverse Psychology later on to lure Saki and Mai into a trap.
  • Extra-ore-dinary: His Elemental Powers allow him to control metal.
  • Genius Bruiser: He's a strong guy who's also quite smart even though he doesn't like using strategy.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Advises Saki on her drawing for Mai.
  • Graceful Loser: Compliments Precure and says he's satisfied with their fight before disintegrating.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: Wears (possibly) leather pants.
  • Hulking Out: And he's already muscular to begin with!
  • Kiai: When battling the defecting Kiryuu Sisters, he cries out "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!!!" Now where have we heard this from him before?
  • Meaningful Name: "Kin" is Japanese for gold, "kintore" is an abbreviation of "muscle training", and "suki" means "like" (As in "I like muscle training")
  • Minion Shipping: With Shitataare.
  • Noble Demon: Despite being evil, he always keeps his word and is above acts of petty villainy.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: He often wears a jacket when out among the humans, yet no one seems to notice his yellow skin.
  • Super Mode: In his final battle, he gets even more swole and does even more damage.
  • Walking Shirtless Scene: Only his human disguise has him wearing clothes, which just an added hoodie and Santa costume in Christmas episode.
  • Worthy Opponent: All he wants out of the Cures is a fair fight, and he complements them when they finally give it to him.
