History
Before the start of the series, Kanata lived as the Hope Kingdom's prince. He had a younger sister named Towa, who was the princess. As royalties of the kingdom, they were taught by the Royal Fairy Shamour, how to play the violin. Each day the two will practice a song together in the outskirt of the castle. His sister admired him and he cheered her on her dreams of becoming a Grand Princess even though only the Princess Pretty Cures can become one. One day, Towa went missing. Kanata looked for her but it was all in vain. The people of Hope Kingdom succumb to despair as their symbol of hope has gone missing. Kanata too, despaired at this as he can see his people's dreams being locked away in Gate of Desperation. When Dyspear finally reached the castle, she intended to destroy the twelve Dress Up Keys. Fortunately the keys went to different directions in order to escape evil. Kanata followed one of the Dress Up Keys until it reaches a field where young Haruka was crying pondering over the thought of becoming a princess. This ignited hope in Kanata's heart and so he decided to give her the Flora Dress Up Key. In order to save his kingdom, Hope Kingdom, Kanata sent the siblings, Aroma and Pafu, to Earth where he gave them the "Princess Perfumes" so they can find the Princess Pretty Cure.

In episode 35, it is revealed that after his battle against Dyspear, he was found washed up on a beach and he had lost his powers and memories.

She later brainwashes Towa into Twilight. When they finally reunite, Twilight no longer remembers him, much to his dismay. Eventually, Kanata restores her memories with the Cures' help. She is saved, but the reunion was short-lived as Kanata stayed behind to defend the kingdom while Towa was sent to Earth with the others.
