Click here to see Nozomi in Otona PreCure '23 

An airheaded girl who can't seem to concentrate on just one thing and pretty much talentless and had no idea about what she really wanted, although she believed in the importance of reaching out for her dream. She's a second year student in L'Ecole des Cinq Lumières. She bumped into Coco in her school's library and after an encounter with the Nightmare, she was chosen to become Cure Dream and decided that she's going to restore Coco's Palmier Kingdom and see through it to the end... this time not losing sight of that. Along the journey, as Coco posed as their teacher, Nozomi also discovers her own dream that she'll reach out one day: to become a teacher.


  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: She gets distracted easily. The entire series, as well as its Oddly Named Sequel — happens because Nozomi gets distracted one morning before school and chases a passing butterfly. In a later episode, she displayed more realistic ADHD symptoms. ADHD was never explicitly mentioned, but the intention was clear.
  • Badass Adorable: She's a real sweetie and is willing to be friends with almost anyone. She also leads the team to destroying two evil organizations attacking the world.
  • Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: Nozomi is the girliest in her team and her first Cure outfit is the only one that shows off the belly.
  • Berserk Button: Do not trivialize dreams. Nozomi wasted no time letting Girinma know what a bad idea it is in the very first episode, and Otona starts with her approaching anyone she can to save one of her student's dream of dancing.
  • Big Eater: She'll eat anything in front of her and lots of it.
  • Book Dumb: She struggles to get even acceptable grades.
  • Character Catchphrase: "Watch it, watch it, watch it, okay?" note  and "It's decided!" note 
    • If she says "Okay!" in the beginning, expect her to finish with, "It's decided!"
  • Character Tics: Whenever she shouts her Character Catchphrase, she points upwards with her left hand in a way that her thumb and finger together make a reverse L shape to the viewer.
  • Cool Teacher: In Otona PreCure '23, Nozomi clearly has a positive relationship with her students; not only are they engaged during her lessons, they also to stay after class talking with her about their lives.
  • Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: During her daily life she's an idiot that often needs to rely on her friends to get anything done. During battle she's a walking force of destruction, both physically and magically.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Occasionally has this reaction whenever she sees something that's tiny and plushie-like, namely when she first sees Coco's true form and when she first encounters Milk.
  • Defeat Means Friendship: Note to the enemy: if you're lucky, you'll have her as an opponent and ultimately be spared. But one word of advice: don't be an Omnicidal Maniac, let alone murder your own Dragon as having outlived her usefulness, because Everyone Has Standards, even the most forgiving.
  • Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Nozomi's crux of Character Development is this. The reason why she has such a short attention span was because she's always looking for what she wanted to do (getting kicked out of various clubs were because it took her quick enough to realize those are not what she wanted). After meeting Coco and deciding to help the Palmier Kingdom, Nozomi slowly starts to realize that she likes helping people the best and put attention to it, and after a 'tutoring' from Coco and seeing him teach her, she finally realizes her dream to be a teacher, to help those in academical trouble (like she was before).
    • This is actually called back in Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage 3: she's trapped inside a dream world, living out her dream of being a teacher... and promptly realizes this isn't what she wants and proceeds to kick herself out of it and kick the other Cures out of their dream worlds in the process! She wants her dream, but she'll get it her own way.
    • By Otona PreCure '23, she's living that dream in real life, having become a Cool Teacher, teaching deep and mature subjects with a cheerful disposition and the occasional fun aside, while also knowing all her students well enough to be able to at least attempt to help them when problems arise.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Her primary element, though manifested more subtly and stylistically compared to the other Cures. Her power up attack in the first season is Crystal Shoot while her attack in the second season is Shooting Star (another term for a meteor).
  • The Ditz: She's absentminded, and misses the obvious even when its staring right at her, like when she misses Milky Rose's identity right after she transforms into her true form right in front of Nozomi. It is played seriously in one episode where she is aware of this flaw and is not happy at the academic trouble she's had.
  • Dumbass No More: Nozomi at the beginning is a scatterbrain hopeless with everything, be it studying, paying attention, athleticness or whatever. Over time, she starts paying attention more to her studies, resulting in better grades. As of the middle of GoGo!, she is capable of tutoring Rin's younger siblings. By the time of Otona PreCure '23, she has become a capable teacher.
  • Expressive Hair: Her hair always shoots up or droops according to her mood.
  • Gemstone Assault; Her second attack in the first season is the Crystal Shoot which sends a massive blast of magical pink crystals to defeat the enemy. Unlike the second attacks that the other Cures have, it is completely different from the first one.
  • Genki Girl: Super energetic and hyper.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She wears some of her hair in two pigtails. She doesn't have them anymore as an adult to look more mature.
  • Happily Married: In episode 12 of Kibou no Chikara, a wedding is held in the Palmier Kingdom to show Nozomi and Coco's marriage to each other.
  • Heavy Sleeper: As part of her ditzy moments, she sleeps a lot.
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Rin. They have been best friends most of their lives and remain so all the way to adulthood.
  • Idiot Hero: Downplayed as most of it is due to her absentmindedness than anything.
  • Interspecies Romance: With Coco. Nozomi is a human and Coco is a fairy who resembles a fox, but he can take human form.
  • Jumped at the Call: She immediately accepts her role as a Pretty Cure from the first episode.
  • The Leader: She's the headstrong and charismatic leader of the team. The other Cures unanimously chose her to fill this role because she was the one that brought them together to be Pretty Cure in the first place. Not that she'll claim she's the leader and she thinks they don't need one anyway.
  • Lethal Chef: Her cooking just isn't good.
  • Loser Friend Puzzles Outsiders: Nozomi is the loser friend in this case, and everyone in school, especially Mika Masuko, is perplexed by how the four most popular girls in the school seem to have coalesced into a friend group centered around this one unimpressive girl who is a notoriously useless screwup that got booted out of every club.
  • Meaningful Name: Nozomi = 'hope', 'Yume' = dream. Also doubles as a Prophetic Name.
  • Mundane Utility: At first, she wanted to use the Dream Collet to... get her homework done!
  • The Nose Knows: Her nose is so good that she can smell crépe's smell on a little part of a flyer.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: You know a villain has crossed the line you don't ever come back from when this All-Loving Hero has zero sympathy whatsoever for said villain.
  • Pink Heroine: She's the main heroine of the series and as Cure Dream, she has pink hair and wears pink.
  • Plucky Girl: Nozomi will never give into despair. Even when she's forced into a state of crippling despair in Otona PreCure '23, she refuses to give in.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: When she turns into Cure Dream, her hair goes from neck length to mid back length.
  • Power Makes Your Voice Deep: She's one of the few Cures of the franchise whose voice gets deeper upon transformation.
  • The Power of Love: She breaks Coco out of his brainwashing with the power of her feelings for him.
  • Precocious Crush: She has a crush on Coco, whose human form looks significantly older than her.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: She is the first one in the franchise, starting the trend of having optimistic pink-haired girls as the main characters.
  • Sensei-chan: In Otona PreCure '23, Nozomi has a friendly relationship with her students and tries to encourage them to follow their dreams.
  • Stock Shoujo Heroine: She's the typical shoujo anime heroine; ditzy, childish, and clumsy Rose-Haired Sweetie with a big heart and a bright perspective. She has magic powers related to hope and dreams.
  • Super-Cute Superpowers: Her attacks are buttlerfly-shaped beams.
  • Tareme Eyes: More blatantly so than anybody else.
  • This Loser Is You: At least at first, as she's extremely scatterbrained and can't seem to concentrate. However, by the time Character Development kicks in, Nozomi starts moving away from this, as she becomes more responsible and tries her best to reach out for her dreams.
    • Also unlike Tsubomi later, Nozomi kind of subverts this. When she becomes Cure Dream, she didn't flail around like a clueless ditz, she was pretty capable into immediately getting into combat. It's just that when she's just Nozomi that she's sucking in life (until Character Development above).
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: Girly girl to Rin's tomboy. She's the more obviously girly and cutesy of the two.
  • Trope Codifier: Yumehara Nozomi is both similar and different to her predecessors Misumi Nagisa and Hyuuga Saki. However she is “what Toei wants” for their Pretty Cure Pink Heroine protagonists. Nozomi is a middle-school Book Dumb Genki Girl with a sense of justice. Until Character Development kicks in, Nozomi has no goal in life. She Jumps At The Call, she has no friends that are not relevant to the plot, her family have no real presence in her life. She also has no real athletic abilities. Nozomi is also neither officially the leader nor the strongest on the team, just The Hero and the one most prominent.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Milk/Kurumi. They argue a lot, but they become eventually close friends.
  • Vocal Evolution: In earlier episodes, Nozomi and Cure Dream had much deeper voices, but they eventually become higher after a couple of episodes, to the point that Cure Dream's pitch never gets as deep as the original Nozomi voice again.
  • Wide-Eyed Idealist: She firmly believes people shouldn't give up on their dreams no matter what. Otona PreCure '23 shows she still tries having this mindset as an adult, even though she has to face the reality that there's limits to what she can do for her students as a teacher and unlike when she was a Pretty Cure, there are things that are impossible for her to do.

Click here to see Urara in Otona PreCure '23 
"The effervescence of bursting lemon, Cure Lemonade!"
A freshman in L'Ecole des Cinq Lumières school and an idol in training. Due to her busy schedule, Urara usually kept to herself, and her shy attitude doesn't help, although when situation calls it, she can ham things up. However, Nozomi barges into her life trying to befriend her and after an encounter with the Nightmare, her desire to protect her new friends led her to become Cure Lemonade. Afterwards, with her new friends, Urara began her journey not just as a Pretty Cure, but also evolving into a world-class idol.
  • Accidental Hero: In the first movie, she's the reason the villain's plan failed because she never handed the pink the Big Bad needed to finally accomplish his plans.
  • The Baby of the Bunch: Being a first-year middle school student, Urara is the youngest member of the team.
  • Badass Adorable: Super cute and able to smash Kowainaas as a Pretty Cure.
  • Big Eater: Probably the reigning champion in the show! Notably, in Otona, it's this very trait being downplayed which makes Syrup think something is wrong with her.
  • But Not Too Foreign: Urara's father is French, but her mother was Japanese.
  • The Cameo: Appears in Pretty Cure Miracle Leap as the leading lady of P.P. Abraham's latest movie. This comes before her and the rest of the Yes Cures in The Movie for Healin' Good♡Pretty Cure.
  • Chain Pain: In Go Go, her attack Prism Chain creates two chains made of butterflies that come out of her arms and acts as her weapon.
  • Comfort Food: Curry Rice. This is because one of few memories Urara has of her mother was the first time she ate curry, and it was with the whole family together.
  • Cute Bruiser: She's adorable and beats the daylights out of the villains she faces.
  • Dual Wielding: Her Prism Chain attack always has two chains.
  • Dumb Blonde: While she's more studious than Nozomi, she's just as likely as her to realize obvious things too late.
  • Friendless Background: Because of her busy lifestyle as an actress, she had no friends when she started middle school.
  • Genki Girl: She's very energetic and cheerful, though not to Nozomi's extent.
  • Girlish Pigtails: She wears her hair in a pair of pigtails, showing her status as the youngest team member.
  • Glasses of Aging: She is shown wearing glasses in Otona Precure 23, whereas when in middle school, she wasn't wearing them.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: She's a sweet and cheerful young girl with blonde hair.
  • Idol Singer: She is already an up-and-coming star when the series begins.
  • Image Songs: Sure, all of the Cures get them, but she gets to sing hers in-universe.
  • Large Ham: If she feels like it, she could ham her words up. After all, she's an actress.
  • Light 'em Up: As Cure Lemonade, her main element is light. Yellow is often associated with light, or even the sun.
  • Missing Mom: She died when Urara was very little. A regular source of despair for Urara is how little she remembers of her mother.
  • Never Gets Drunk: Despite drinking the same amount of alcohol as Kurumi in Episode 2 of Kibou no Chikara, Urara is able to hold her liquor better than her seniors who also ordered alcoholic drinks.
  • New Transfer Student: She arrives at the main cast's school as a transfer student.
  • Non-Uniform Uniform: Her Cure outfit in the first season. While Mint and Aqua are mostly palette swaps of each other, and Dream and Rouge are similar to each other with some small differences, Lemonade's outfit has a different skirt, sleeves, shoes, and socks than the other four. She's also the only one to wear a ribbon choker.
  • Raised by Dudes: After the death of her mother, Urara was brought up by her father and maternal grandfather.
  • Screw Yourself: Her Enemy Without in episode 23 flirts with her! Really!
  • Ship Tease: With Syrup. Unlike Nozomi and Coco, Urara and Syrup aren't an official romantic pairing, but they're close and have enough hints to imply they could be more than friends.
  • Tareme Eyes: Has eyes that sag a little at the ends and is overall cute and compassionate.

"The green earth of tranquility, Cure Mint!"
A third-year student of L'Ecole des Cinq Lumières and usually volunteers to manage the library. Komachi is the daughter of the head of a famed sweets shop. She's calm and assuring, but is pretty scary when she snaps. She's also a novel writer, thus easily getting excited over unnatural things. This 'unnatural thing interest' led her to follow Nozomi, witness the Nightmare, and becomes Cure Mint. Aside of her being a Precure, Komachi also got her novel reviewed by Nuts, also developing a crush on him.
  • Badass Bookworm: She loves to read and kicks ass as a Cure.
  • Barrier Warrior: Her main power as Cure Mint is producing a green dome to protect anyone inside of it.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: When Karen was getting harassed by students about her Student Council President duties, Komachi just slammed her fists to the table and started scolding the students.

  • Stone Wall: Her personal moves are completely focused on maximum defense though later on she gains the ability to use the shields offensively too.
  • Tareme Eyes: They droop at the ends and she's all-round friendly and docile.

Click here to see Karen in Otona PreCure '23 
"The blue spring of intelligence, Cure Aqua!"
A third-year student of L'Ecole des Cinq Lumières and the Student Council President. At first she thinks the Pretty Cure thing is a farce, but was forced to believe it when the Nightmare invaded her house. But then she failed to become a Pretty Cure due to her 'do-things-herself' mindset. Despite so, Nozomi continued to bug her about becoming a Pretty Cure, and after realizing that she wants to protect her friends, Karen is able to become Cure Aqua. During the course of the series, she develops a rapport with Milk and discovers her dream to help those who are sick, and she starts learning on how to become a doctor.
  • Adventure Rebuff: In the beginning she thought of becoming Cure Aqua just because she thinks in the end, to do it right, she can't depend on anyone if she wants to do things right... resulting in her butterfly vanishing and forcing her to watch Bunbee trounce the Cures and get away with the Pinky. It's only after her resolve was to protect her friends instead of doing things herself that she can transform.
  • Aloof Archer: Gains the "Pretty Cure Sapphire Arrow" eventually, and being the Cure of Intelligence she mostly keeps her calm, cool, collected persona. In a subversion, that attack is usually reserved for finishing blows, she usually resorts into pummelling the enemy with fists and feet before that happens.
  • Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Aside of being the tallest of the group and her dark blue hair stand out, in the beginning, she presents herself as the aloof, serious, stoic (albeit caring) girl. She mellows down after becoming a Cure, but the element is still there.
  • Ambiguously Gay: Unlike her friends she did not show interest in any boy, and instead has a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship with Milk.
  • Big Eater: Funniest thing, she's so ladylike when she eats all of her food.
  • Big Fancy House: She basically lives in some sort of a mansion, owing to her family's wealth.
  • Blue Means Smart One: Karen is the Student Council President of her school. As Cure Aqua, she is the Pretty Cure of Intelligence and has the power of water. She also becomes a doctor when she grows up.
  • Cannot Tell a Joke: When the gang goes vacationing in her mountain resort, she tries to joke that her family owns everything in the mountain range; they take her seriously, much to her embarrassment. Jiiya, however, is driven to tears that his mistress is even telling jokes now.
  • Cross-Cast Role: When sent to the Urashima Tarou's world by Shibiretta, Karen got saddled with the role of the titular character, and the kids who 'tortured' the turtle (Milk) refer her as "onii-chan", to her puzzlement.
  • Defrosting Ice Queen: She starts out as your typical cold, stoic, but Lonely Rich Kid, opening only to Komachi. Thanks to Nozomi 'barging in' to her life and becoming Cure Aqua, she starts opening up to more people.
  • Elemental Eye Colors: It's only fitting that the Pretty Cure of water has blue eyes.
  • Elemental Hair Colors: She's the Pretty Cure of water and has long,flowing blue hair even her civilian form.
  • Genius Bruiser: Aqua's obviously got the brains, being the Cure of Intelligence and all, but she's also packing in brawn as well, especially when it comes to her sword fighting bouts with Hadenya and Dark Aqua.
  • Knight in Shining Armor: Plays this role in episode 34 (which even has in its title "White Knight Karen"). In order to protect Milk, she sword-fights Hadenya while riding a white horse.
  • Lady of War: Cool and graceful, she later gains an attack in which she gracefully fires an arrow made of water.
  • Lonely Rich Kid: Her parents do a lot of concert tours, so she only lives with her butler at her mansion. Before joining the Pretty Cure team, Komachi was her Only Friend.
  • Mage Marksman: When using "Sapphire Arrow" she creates a bow and arrows made of water.
  • Master Swordswoman: She can create a blue energy sword out of her Aqua Ribbon and she is incredibly skilled at wielding it.
  • Making a Splash: As Cure Aqua, her attacks are all made of water.
  • Multi Shot: She's capable of doing this with her Sapphire Arrow.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Her Aqua Ribbon gains a sword form for the horseback duel with Hadeenya.
  • Ojou: Karen has a no-nonsense, stoic personality that evokes a cool aura and made her popular, not to mention she's ridiculously rich.
  • Power Makes Your Hair Grow: When she turns into Cure Aqua, her hair goes from mid back length to possibly hip length although it's hard to tell because of the ponytail.
  • Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: With Milk/Kurumi. They become very close and are very affectionate with each other, even as adults.
  • Refusal of the Call: At first, after failing to transform.
  • Student Council President: A lot of her episodes in the first season have her duties as the head of the student council as a focus.
  • Sugar-and-Ice Personality: She's very serious, collected, and focused. Her Pretty Cure teammates and Milk see her warm side.
  • Swiss-Army Superpower: Her Aqua Ribbon upgrade from the first season doubles as her special move (Aqua Tornado) and a sword made of water.
  • Took a Level in Cheerfulness: She becomes a lot livelier after joining the team.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Grape juice.
  • True Blue Femininity: She's the graceful Ojou of the group and blue is her color in clothes, hair, and eyes.
  • Tsurime Eyes: Her sharp eye shape reflect her cool and serious character.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Rin don't rub on each other warmly but they always ensure they're fine.
  • Water Is Blue: Her color as the Pretty Cure of water is blue.
  • Water Is Womanly: She's a calm, elegant Ojou with water powers and a blue Color Motif.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: Despite her westernized style or wealth, Karen is pretty much the closest one we can get, she's loyal and protective to her friends and will bet on everything to defend them and her home. Also, her 'dream marriage' scenario is also the only one that follows the traditional style.

Click here to see Milk/Kurumi in Otona PreCure '23 
"The blue rose is my secret emblem! Milky Rose!"
A rabbit-like mascot who is Coco and Natt's caretaker but has no ability to assume a human form. Initially unscrupulous around the Yes Pretty Cure 5 team, she slowly warms up to them. In Yes Pretty Cure 5 GoGo, she picks up a Blue Rose seed which granted her a human form and the power to become Milky Rose.
  • Action Girl: She has enough combat prowess to send the Monsters of the Week packing.
  • Aloof Ally: As Milky Rose, she initially acts mysterious around the girls, who are unsure whether she is their ally or enemy. She later joins the team properly.
  • Ascended Extra: In Yes! 5, she only lends the Pretty Cures her power for their ultimate Finishing Move. In Yes! 5 GoGo, she gains human form and becomes a Precure.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: When first introduced, Milk claims about feigning vulnerability and pity so she gets taken in and fed with free food... and then leave without being noticed, rinse and repeat ("They're all such suckers!"). Though she quickly got over this one.
  • Can't Hold Her Liquor: In Kibou no Chikara Episode 2, Kurumi starts seeing things such as multiple Uraras when drinking alcohol. In the next episode, she downs several glasses of Big Apple (a brandy mixer with apples as the main ingredient) and gets so wasted, Karen has to bring her home.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: She often gets jealous when Nozomi gets Coco's attention.
  • Finishing Move: "Blizzard" and "Metal Blizzard". She can only use one Finishing Move per transformation.
  • Florence Nightingale Effect: In episode 34, Karen takes care of a sick Milk, making them become closer. Milk still treasures the memory of Karen nursing her many years later.
  • Flower Motifs: Milky Rose is represented by the blue rose, which symbolizes dreams come true and luck.
  • Flowers of Nature: Since she has flower-based powers, Milky Rose wears a vine-like headdress decorated with a blue rose.
  • Girlish Pigtails: As Milky Rose, a portion of her hair is held up in a pair of twintails. Fitting for her Tsundere traits.
  • Girls Love Chocolate: She really likes chocolate.
  • Late-Arrival Spoiler: In Yes! 5 GoGo, it soon becomes common knowledge that Milk is the new Pretty Cure, Milky Rose.
  • Mysterious Protector: In her time as being an Aloof Ally, she doesn't let the girls know she's Milky Rose and instead plays the part of a mysterious new Pretty Cure who randomly appears to help them in battle.
  • New Transfer Student: She transfers to the Precure's school.
  • Office Lady: In Otona Precure 23, Kurumi is working as a secretary in a large corporation. Despite her diligence, her Mean Boss always forces her to work overtime.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Double subverted; while nobody could recognize Milk as Milky Rose or Kurumi, since she calls herself Milky Rose, it's obvious who she is. Yet almost nobody recognized her.
  • Petal Power: Milky Rose uses blue rose petals to attack.
  • Pseudo-Romantic Friendship: With Karen. They have a loving and protective relationship. Milk admires Karen for her mature and graceful nature and looks up to her. In Otona Pretty Cure '23, during a moment of clarity after a period of heavy drinking, Milk tells Karen that she loves her.
  • Purple Is Powerful: Milky Rose is so powerful that she alone is as strong as the five girls together.
  • Sdrawkcab Name: Kurumi Mimino = Miruku no mimi = Milk's ears.
  • Signature Headgear: Her red bow, which she wears on her head in both her fairy form and her human civilian form.
  • Sixth Ranger: Milky Rose is the sixth teammate of the Pretty Cures and her power is different than theirs.
  • Something about a Rose: While all five Cures have a rose theme in Yes! 5 GoGo, Milky Rose's power consists entirely of roses.
  • Super-Strength: She is much more powerful than any of the five Cures.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: She expresses empathy for Anacondy as she dies, comparing her devotion to Coco and Nuts to Anacondy toward the Director.
  • Trademark Favourite Food: Apples and anything with it as the main ingredient due to the memory of her being fed mashed apples by Karen when she was sick. Kibou no Chikara Episode 3 shows her light up at the sight of a glass of Big Apple and downs several glasses, though she gets utterly sloshed in the process.
  • Tsundere: Harsh type. She's a strict, no-nonsense type of person, but does care about everyone in the team in her own way.
  • Verbal Tic: As Milk, she ends her sentences with "-miru."
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Nozomi. They argue a lot, but they become close friends, eventually.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: She can switch between her fairy form and her human form.

A bird-like delivery fairy who is amnesiac and dreams of the Cure Rose Garden. He intends to search for the Rose Pact to gain access to the garden and cure his amnesia.
  • Flying Postman: He's a delivery fairy and his job is to send messages.

  • Rebel Relaxation: In the first freakin' episode he showed up in. Bonus points for the Cherry Blossoms and the ominous lighting.
  • Ship Tease: With Urara. Unlike Coco with Nozomi and Nuts with Komachi, Syrup's relationship with Urara doesn't turn into a full-blown Interspecies Romance, but they become close enough to get the idea of it.
  • Tsundere: Initially, Syrup is distrusting and hostile, but his softer side slowly comes put, especially around Urara.
  • Verbal Tic: As Syrup, he ends his sentences with "-ropu."

  • Culture Clash: Coco had no clue that sharing food with Crepe counted as a marriage proposal in her culture.
  • The Four Gods: They're based on this legend, with Donuts as the blue dragon, Montblanc as the black turtle, Crepe as the white tiger, and Bavarois as the red phoenix.
  • The Good King: They're all noble and kind-hearted, even if they all have their own troublesome personality quirks.

Antagonists

Nightmare

    Girinma 

Voiced by: Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese), Gaetano Varcasia (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/body_gilinma.png

The first villain to appear in the series. Girinma is one of Bunbee's three subordinates. His true form is a humanoid praying mantis. After many defeats, Bunbee gives him the black card which is actually a black Kowaina mask, and despite risking to lose his personality, he puts the mask on it to prove his loyalty and becomes a Kowaina.


  • Animal Motifs: His design is based on a praying mantis.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: He's a villain with a Praying Mantis Animal Motif.
  • Dirty Coward: He doesn't mind ducking out of a pinch and leaving everyone else to suffer.
  • Kick the Dog: He revels in this. Aside from his eventual turning of Urara's mother's memento into a Kowaiina, he usually likes drilling the fact that Nuts' kindness caused the Nightmare to be able to destroy Palmier Kingdom, reasoning with "The one who lets himself get tricked is the wrong one."
  • Mask of Power: He puts the black Kowaina mask on his face and transforms into a huge monster in his finale battle.
  • Never My Fault: It's always the Palmier's Kingdom's fault for being gullible, not unlike him, who... you know... makes people suffer with his acts without considering the side effect?
  • One-Winged Angel: His Black Mask form turns him into a giant spiky Praying Mantis.
  • Undying Loyalty: For his faults, he's damn loyal to the company, something that Kawarino praised.

    Gamao

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/body_gamao.png

He's one of Bunbee's subordinates, until he deserts from Nightmare after his first defeat. He always try to get payment from different jobs to buy money, but he never keeps a job. His true form is a humanoid toad. Kawarino tricks him by offering him a high ranked job in Nightmare, but the black Kowaina mask transforms him into a Kowaina.


  • Fat Bastard: He's a fat toad who works for Nightmare.
  • Lazy Bum: Unable to get a permanent job due to this. He also coincidentally is a literal bum.
  • Mask of Power: Wears the black Kowaina mask in his final battle.

    Arachnea 

Voiced by: Yoko Soumi (Japanese), Anna Cesareni (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aracnea.png

Bunbee's female subordinate, but she doesn't respect him much. Her true form is a humanoid spider. Kawarino gives her the black Kowaina mask to give her a last chance, becoming a Kowaina in the end.


    Bunbee 

Voiced by: Wataru Takagi (Japanese), Luciano Roffi (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bunbee.png

Bunbee is the boss of Girinma, Gamao and Arachnea. His true form is a humanoid bee. He suffers from his department's failures and he's often criticized by Kawarino. After Gamao deserted Nightmare and Girinma and Arachnea's deaths, his department is disbanded and he becomes the subordinate of the members of the second department. He confronts Kawarino about his sneaky methods, but he's almost killed by him. After the defeat of Nightmare, he joins Eternal in the sequel, working as a subordinate for several villains, but ultimately leaving them and he becomes an ally of the heroines.


  • Animal Motifs: His design is based on a bee.
  • Bad Boss: Started out as this in a minor version. But after Girinma dies, he starts shading away from it, warning Arachnea not to go through what Girinma went through, something that failed. Then ironically, after 'demotion', he got assigned with a lot of BadBosses.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: His Animal Motif is a Bee, though it doesn't actually crawl over people.
  • Butt-Monkey: Throughout all of his appearances, he often ends up facing hilariously bad events, especially when getting defeated by the cures.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Very proud of who he's working for and will display it.
  • The Dragon: To Kawarino.
  • Heel–Face Turn: He goes through the Revolving Door twice, but his third Heel–Face Turn was permanent... Of course, that didn't stop him from requesting a job in Criasu Corp. As of Otona PreCure '23 he has firmly renounced his Heel status and stays a face.
  • Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: You can't help but feel sorry as he fell to the wrong management all the time, especially after losing his threat level once Kawarino enters the picture.
  • Lovable Coward: Post Heel–Face Turn he is mostly this, he doesn't want to get involved in any drama caused by Bell or her Shadows, but he also risks himself for the sake of Saki and Mai when he believes they're in trouble.
  • Overshadowed by Awesome: After his division was disbanded, he is quickly overshadowed by his superiors Hadenya, Bloody and Kawarino, especially the latter two. And in the sequel, he's the weakest villain since three other villains have natural One-Winged Angel forms, and three other villains have better abilities.
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner: "Now then, why don't you take a short vacation?" Spoken right before a (non-fatal) drop through a Trap Door.
  • Remembered I Could Fly: He falls from a roof when Kawarino tries to kill him, but Bunbee can grap a window ledge which "saves" his life, and then he remembers he actually can fly. Nearly 10 years later this is how he is able to evade a group of Shadows attacking him.
  • Sixth Ranger: Defied In Otona PreCure '23 when the Pretty Cure vow that they will get to the bottom of things and stop the shadows, he obnoxiously cuts in to say that he wants no part in it, of course Kurumi snipes back that she never really expected him to help in the first place.
  • Smug Snake: Starts out as this.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Despite all of the Yes 5! team treating him like The Friend Nobody Likes, Nozomi is relieved when she saves him on time in 'Otona PreCure '23', showing that she does indeed care about him, while also respectfully addressing him as Bunbee-San; Bunbee blushes and announces that Cure Dream is his favorite after this.
  • Took a Level in Kindness: In ''Otona PreCure '23' he has firmly renounced his villainous ways and is shown to be an honest worker who genuinely looks after his tenants. In the opening he can be seen laughing alongside one of his coworkers, and during the final battle, HE is the one encouraging others to better themselves, not just for the sake of the Precure but for the sake of the planet.
  • Villainous Friendship: With Scorp of Eternal.

    Hadenya

  • Mask of Power: Kawarino forced her to wear a black Kowaina mask.
  • Miles Gloriosus: Constantly brags that she's better than the rest, especially Bunbee's disbanded group.
  • One-Winged Angel: As a Kowaina, she's a monsterously buff, stronger bird-like being.

    Bloody 

Voiced by: Eiji Maruyama (Japanese), Paolo Marchese (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bloody_pose.png

A veteran member of the second department who always transforms rooms into Kowainas. He was also Kawarino's previous superior. After several defeats, Kawarino puts a black Kowaina mask on his face and traps him in the darkness, but in the Grand Finale, Bloody comes back and drags Kawarino with him down.


  • Bat People: His true form is a humanoid bat.
  • Evil Old Folks: He's a villain and his human form is an old man.
  • Grumpy Old Man: Shows signs of this in the end... in a good way. He claimed that before Kawarino gets in charge, Nightmare used to value teamwork.
  • Mask of Power: Kawarino forced him to wear a black Kowaina mask.

    Kawarino 

Voiced by: Hiro Yuki (Japanese), Alessio Cigliano (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kawarino_pose.png

Kawarino is Desparaiah's secretary, and one of the three core members in the second department. He's sneaky, feels no sympathy to anyone, but the most powerful employee of Nightmare. His true form is a gigantic humanoid chameleon.


  • Animal Motifs: His design is based on a chameleon.
  • Deceptive Disciple: He was once Bloody's henchman.
  • The Dragon: To Despariah.
    • Dragon-in-Chief: Is a much more dangerous and active threat to the Pretty Cure 5 than his boss.
    • The Heavy: He's responsible for the invasion and destruction of the Palmier Kingdom, he manipulates and abuses all other villains, and he's the one who makes Desparaiah's wish coming true. And if the Palmier Kingdom was never destroyed, the Pretty Cure 5 wouldn't even exist.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: When Despariah was contemplating that there's more than despair and prepares a Heel–Face Turn, Kawarino reforms himself and rants on why Despariah won't get into despair again.
  • Evil Sounds Deep: Averted. His voice is so high, you can mistake him for a woman or having a female seiyuu. Even in his true form, his voice is still very high.
  • Eyes Always Shut: Beware if he ever opens them.
  • For the Evulz: He likes spreading despair because he personally likes it.
  • Hope Crusher: He takes delight in crushing hopes and inflicting despair (not that you'll see him laugh in joy for it), even his Nightmare Mask is designed to inflict one. When he saw Desparaiah trying to stop being one, he flips.
  • Identical Stranger: In the epilogue of GoGo!, Bunbee has a lazy employee named Shiri who looks like Kawarino.
  • Karmic Death: He was dragged down to hell by Bloody, whom he previously sent to hell after outliving his usefulness.
  • Lizard Folk: He can change his form to a giant, humanoid chameleon.
  • Meaningful Name: Kawarino is derived from 'Kawaru', meaning 'to change'.
  • Softspoken Sadist: Speaks in a very pleasant tone, but there's a reason why he's considered the most evil in Nightmare.

    Desparaiah 

Voiced by: Kazuko Sugiyama (Japanese), Monica Gravina (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/desperaia_pose.png

Desparaiah is the leader and employer of Nightmare. She's extremely powerful, considering that Kawarino's loyalty to her, and her wish is gaining immortality and eternal youth. She hides her face under a mask until the Dream Collet grants her wish.


  • Barrier Warrior: She can block attacks with a barrier.
  • Big Bad: She's the main villain in Yes!5.
  • Evil Old Folks: It's implied that she's this before she uses the Dream Collet. Most noticeable when she uses the Dream Collet and her mask breaks, her voice stops being as hoarse as when she's still wearing the mask.
  • Foil: While she embodies despair, Nozomi personifies hope.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: As an apology for all the troubles she caused, she let the Cures and Palmier Kingdom citizens to escape while she stayed in the collapsing Nightmare realm, sealing it.
  • Immortality Seeker: She intends to gain eternal life to bring despair to the world.
  • Irony: For all her desire to 'spread despair', she herself is in despair, as she's really fearful to die of old age, thus sought Immortality. This discovery is what led Nozomi to eventually give her a second chance.
  • Malevolent Masked Men: She's the Big Bad wearing a mask that conceals her face.
  • Meaningful Name: Her name sounds an awful lot like 'despair'.
  • Mook Maker: She creates shadow monsters to do the fighting for her.
  • Orcus On Her Throne: Aside of that time she went out to check on the Cures' power, she sits on her throne all day. The Cures has to confront her to the throne to get her get up... a bit.

A pair of generals who serve as Eternal's hunters.


  • The Ace: They are Eternal's best hunters.
  • Animal Motifs: Their monster form is a sea anemone (Isohgin) on a hermit crab (Yadokhan).
  • Big Guy, Little Guy: Isohgin is the big guy, Yadokhan is the small guy.
  • Lightning Bruiser: Both of them are very fast and strong. Even as a huge One-Winged Angel. They are also very tough, as they survive Blizzard plus Shooting Star with only a few scratches.
  • Never My Fault: When they are losing against Cure Dream and Milky Rose, Yadokhan gives Isohgin the fault and vice-versa.
  • One-Winged Angel: Unlike the other employees, they don't transform into humanoid monsters. They transform straight into their most powerful form.
  • The Stoic: They're pretty emotionless and speak in a laconic-way.
  • Verbal Tic: Isohgin repeats most of Yadokhan's sentences and mostly end them with "-zo". However, it's an actual word.

A cockroach-themed general who is good-looking but cunning.
  • Blade Below the Shoulder: And he has more on his body.
  • Evil Genius: He uses several traps and tricks to encounter the Pretty Cures, and he even hides his true identity from them.
  • Large Ham: As the MC of 'Five de Chance', he's practically Chewing the Scenery ALL THE TIME, as opposed to his usual calm, soft tone.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: He came very close in utterly defeating the Precure 5 in his own 'Five de Chance', imprisoning four Cures and locking the last one, Karen, in a game she completely sucks at: Coin Toss. If he didn't yank Karen's hand upwards out of impatience, he probably would've guessed the right heads/tails and be victorious.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: As Mr. Magic. It's obviously Kyousuke Momoi with make-up and a costume. Not to mention that Kyousuke is a magician. But nobody notices it.
  • Professional Butt-Kisser: Easily charms Anacondy. However, with his repeated failures, she eventually becomes colder towards him.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: His human form.
  • Secret Identity: Mr. Magic is Kyousuke Momoi, and Kyousuke is Mucardia.
  • Stage Magician: His 'disguise' day job. He's also capable of doing so for Anacondy to impress her (successfully).
  • The Starscream: Wanted to be the second in command, replacing Anacondy.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After revealing that Anacondy purposedly hid a letter from Flora to the Director... the latter killed Mucardia

    Anacondy 

Voiced by: Kaori Yamagata (Japanese), Paola Giannetti (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anacondy.png
A snake-themed general who is Eternal's administrator.
  • Non-Indicative Name: Despite her name 'Anacondy', she's doesn't have any constricting, squeezing skills like her namesake (Anaconda), but in fact is more modeled on Medusa (whose snake hairs are mostly venomous snakes).
  • Taken for Granite: Her powers mainly consist of petrifying her victims into stones, but it drains her a lot of energy. Even a single Cure is tireing, but she still petrifies all five of them.
  • Yandere: She's in love with the Director and wants to murder Flora in order to have him all to herself.

    The Director 

Voiced by: Shigeru Chiba (Japanese), Stefano De Sando (Italian)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/director_pretty_cure.png

The leader of Eternal who is intent on conquering the worlds to add to his collection.


  • All Take and No Give: When Coco gives him a speech about how it's more important to create things instead of taking them, he replies that he has no interest in such a thing, and all that matters is the preservation of his collection.
  • Animal Motifs: His design is based on a bird.
  • Badass Armfold: He does this when the five Pretty Cures attack him and he just blocks all attacks with a barrier.
  • Establishing Character Moment: While not exactly in his debut, he makes his case of being a nutjob when he personally pays a visit to Nozomi... then proceeds to level down the entire school area because to him, it has no value, and things without value for him are meant to be destroyed. Thank goodness that it was undone due to No Ontological Inertia.
  • Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: He couldn't even take hint that Flora rejected him from the Cure Rose Garden because he's trying to use it for his own desires instead of good things.
  • Evil Overlord: Subverted. He is more a museum director than an overlord.
  • It's All About Me: Things of no value are to be destroyed, but he thinks that only he has the right to assign values to anything.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: Kind of. He's known to destroy worlds that that he thinks has no values or treasures. If they do, he'll drain the values by taking away its treasures, and once they ran out of values... Boom.
  • Orcus on His Throne: His chair even floats. Wherever he moves, he's sitting for almost the whole series.
  • Shounen Hair: He looks like a Super Saiyan in his true form.
  • Spam Attack: He can fire Hoshina balls.
  • Sphere of Destruction: A gigantic Hoshina ball.
  • The Stoic: He doesn't show emotion most of the time.
  • Winged Humanoid: He has a pair of wings, and later two pairs.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Does this to Anacondy, right after she had declared her love to him, no less. In this case, the Director is also pissed that she dared sabotage his efforts to get into the Cure Rose Garden, though he couldn't care less about her reasons and feelings. Beforehand, he delivers a straightforward version to Mucardia... right after he reported about Anacondy's sneaky activities.

Otona Pretty Cure '23

    Bell 

Voiced by: Yōko Hikasa (Japanese)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bell_precure.png

The antagonist of the sequel Otona Pretty Cure '23. She is a spirit who turns humans into shadows.


  • Anti-Villain: As revealed in episode 11 of Otona Pretty Cure '23, Bell was a guardian to the Cure's home town well before they were born; she witnessed it grow from a small village to a bustling city full of people, her motivation stems from her desire to protect the town she loves even if it means she has to drive out all the humans living in it.
  • Big Bad: She's the main villain of the sequel.
  • Casting a Shadow: She's able to summon Shadows by using small spiky orbs to infect a person's shadow.
  • Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:
    • Both to her predecessors Desparaiah and the Director from Yes! and Yes!5. While both Desparaiah and the Director have a motif of the past, are leaders of their respective villain organizations and are well-known to the Yes! team, Bell has a motif of the future, works independently and is an unknown villain to them.
    • To George Kurai from HuGtto! Pretty Cure. Both are villains who hailed from a Bad Future, but how they caused it heavily differs. George created Criasu Corporation in order to purge all negative memories from humanity, which was caused after the death of his wife Hana from his own future so he can freeze and stop time within the present. Bell works on her own, whose motivation to go back in time was after her town was destroyed by an unknown calamity, and sees humans as selfish and destructive, using their negative emotions to unleash an attack of Shadows in the same town.
    • Bell is virtually different to every past villains in the series, notably that she's the first who is not from an evil organization and instead works alone. She is also the first Big Bad Cure who plays a major, active role in the series' plot, rather than having the generals do her own work before appearing in the latter half of the series.
  • Horned Humanoid: She looks like a female humanoid with horns growing from her forehead.
  • Horns of Villainy: She's the sequel's Big Bad and has horns on her head.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: During the fight against the Precure, her shadow goes on a rampage and begins demolishing the city. Because Bell's goal is ultimately to PROTECT the city, she is horrified that her actions have caused this and immediately regrets it.
  • Pointy Ears: Her ears are elongated and pointed.
  • Telepathy: She's able to telepathically hear every person's thoughts.
  • Winged Humanoid: She has a pair of black wings sprouting of her back.

  • Anti-Villain: Mushiban is still a villain, but most of it, if not all, stems from his misguided intentions for liking sweets but becomes disillusioned after not getting the satisfaction he wanted from them. It caused him to resort to straight-up manipulation tactics to plan the take over of Dessert Kingdom, all of which soon backfired when the Cures and Chocola put a stop on it. And despite brainwashing Queen Dessert and putting her to sleep, it is revealed that he still respects her since he never aimed his attacks on her. At the end after his Redemption Equals Death moment, he realises his mistake and learns the value of sharing things to others before disappearing for good.
  • Badass Cape: He sports a long black cape to show off his villainy.
  • Batman Gambit: To initiate his plan of taking over Dessert Kingdom over his grudge for sweets, he goes to brainwash the ruler of the kingdom by luring her into a sense of respect so she can put her guard down, before proceeding to brainwash Dry, Bitter and later Coco. But in a sense of irony, Chocola, the person he blackmailed to luring them to the kingdom, is the one who throws a wrench to his perfect plans afterwards when she calls the Yes! Cures for help to save the kingdom and her mother from Mushiban, causing him to go to a last resort move: destroying it. And it also backfires spectacularly on his end when the Cures finally defeated him with Dream's/Shining Dream's Shining Solution move.
  • Beard of Evil: He's the movie's Big Bad and sports a beard.
  • Big Bad: He's the villain of the Yes! 5 GoGo movie, who wants to take over Dessert Kingdom to eat sweets and he does so by brainwashing the kingdom's Queen.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Despite brainwashing Queen Dessert in the past, he never showed overt malice onto her during his attack against Milky Rose, which was evident when he did not aim all of his attacks onto her after she woke up.
  • Laser Blade: He has a lightsaber.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: His goal of luring the Cures with Dry and Bitter's help is that he can turn them to sweets... and eat them afterwards. He then uses Coco to eliminate Dream so he can turn her into chocolate.
  • Purple Is Powerful: He sports purple as part of his outfit and he's the movie's Big Bad.
  • Villain Decay: In DX3, Cure Dream defeats a resurrected Mushiban using her Shooting Star attack.
