Minamino Kanade

Minamino Kanade is one of the main Cures of Suite Pretty Cure♪, along with Houjou Hibiki. Like Yukishiro Honoka, Kanade excels at studies, but she is not brilliant at sports like Hibiki. She is something of a celebrity in her school. Kanade is very mature, but also quite stubborn. She dreams of being a pastry chef when she grows up, and taking over her parents' cupcake shop, the Lucky Spoon. She also has a strong love for cats. Kanade's alter ego is Cure Rhythm (キュアリズム Kyuarizumu). She uses the White Fairy Tone, Rery, to transform.

Early Life
When Kanade and Hibiki were young they used to be best friends.They would play together all the time. They used to go to an old church to listen to music and sing together. This all changed at their school entrance ceremony.Hibiki was waiting for her under that sakura trees, where they had promised to meet on the first day of school so they could go to school together, but Kanade never showed up. When Hibiki got to school, she saw that Kanade had completely forgotten and was talking and laughing with other people. But in reality, Kanade didn't forget. Instead, they had both had a misunderstanding, and had waited under different trees.

Becoming a Cure
When Hibiki went to visit the old church she and Kanade used to play in, she met Ellen who is also Siren. Ellen looks into Hibiki's heart and sees Hibiki's emblem, a G Clef. Siren then tries to steal Hibiki's emblem. She runs out of the church only to find herself cornered by the Trio the Minor and Siren. Then Hummy falls from the sky with the Fairy Tones. Shortly after the commotion, Kanade walks to the church and sees Hibiki, the trio, Hummy and Siren. Kanade came to church so she could listen to the record she and Hibiki used to listen to when they were young. She then sees Hummy talk which made her panic a bit. Siren sees Kanade's emblem which is also a G Clef. The Trio the Minor then surrounds Kanade. Siren and the trio try to steal their emblems. When they finally reach the emblem, it reacts and Siren and the trio are blown away. Siren and the trio are suprised by this. Suddenly, Hummy and Siren spot a note on Kanade's record. Hummy dashes for it but Siren turns it into a Negatone. The Negatone turns Kanade's record into a monster. Both Hibiki and Kanade are angered by this and suddenly, their emblems come out of their hearts and they turn into Cure Modules. Hummy then tells the two girls how to transform. Hibiki and Kanade then transform into Cure Melody and Cure Rhythm.

Mending their Friendship
After Hibiki and Kanade witnessed Siren turn their precious record turn into a Negatone, the two of them transformed into Pretty Cures. But their first attempt at fighting the Negatone was unsuccessful because their hearts were not in sync and end up in failure. After the battle, both Kanade and Hibiki complained each other more about their friendship and the broken promise, which Hummy understands a bit later on.

The next day, Hibiki and Kanade saw a little girl crying under the same cherry tree she's waiting years ago. She approached her and lead her to her friend who is waiting on the other side. Both kids were happy to see each other until Siren, the Trio of Minor and the Negatone they fought earlier. The Negatone starts to spread it's Melody of Sorrow throughout school, which causes sadness to everyone. Both Kanade and Hibiki settle their differences and transformed to fight the Negatone with no avail. But after the two of them worked things out, they were able to control their power and their hearts were in full sync as they purified the Negatone using the Passionate Harmony attack and reverted it back into their old record and the scattered note, which went into Dory's gem. After the battle, the two girls were now determined to protect Kanon Town and collect the scattered notes.
