Kanade Minamino  

Cure Rhythm, 南野 奏

Kanade is a 14-year-old student in the second year of Private Aria Academy junior high. She is Hibikis childhood friend and classmate. Although she excels academically, she struggles with sports like Hibiki. Her impressive grades and demeanor make her somewhat of a school celebrity. Kanade can be quite stubborn at times, but she also belongs to the Sweets Club at Aria Academy. As a child, she dreams of becoming a pastry chef and taking over her parents shop, the Lucky Spoon. She has a crush on Ouji, the schools prince of music, and is deeply fond of cats, especially Hummy, whose paw she finds pleasing to touch. One day, Kanade's potential as a Pretty Cure was awakened when she and Hibiki were immune to Sirens attack. Through her musical score, she transforms into Cure Rhythm. As Cure Rhythm, her hair color changes from dirty blonde to platinum blonde, becoming knee-length. Her theme colors are white with a subcolor of light pink, and her Fairy Tone is Rery. She introduces herself as "Playing the graceful tune, Cure Rhythm!" (爪弾くはたおやかな調べ！キュアリズム！, Tsumabiku wa taoyaka na shirabe, Kyua Rizumu!).
