Akanbe



Akanbes (アカンベェ) are the main monsters of Smile Pretty Cure!. They are born when a Red Nose with a Cure Decor piece trapped inside possesses an ordinary object near them. To summon an Akanbe, a series villian shouts out "Come out, Akanbe!". Akanbes can only emit cries of "Akanbe", "Aka" or "Beh". They are voiced by voice actor Sasaki Hiroo (佐々木 啓夫).

Akanbe literally means the action of "pulling one's eyelid down and sticking out one's tongue".

Appearance
Although each Akanbe is unique in design, they possess some similarities in their appearance. Most are distorted versions of their possessed object. They possess a Red Nose, which contains a Cure Decor piece and Pierrot's power, and a clown's eyes, hands and legs. Another unique feature is a long tongue sticking out of its large red mouth.

Abilities and Powers
Akanbe's abilities have not yet been fully revealed, but each Akanbe's powers depends on their possessed object. For example, the volleyball and soccer goalpost Akanbe can spit explosive volleyballs and soccer balls respectively at high speed, while the mirror Akanbe can reflect itself to create multiple images to create confusion.

They have been shown to be able to jump to great heights, as well as engage in hand-to-hand combat.

When an Akanbe is defeated, the Red Nose explodes to free the Cure Decor piece trapped within. The piece will be kept inside the Decor Décor.
