Appearance
Funassyi is an anthropomorphic yellow pear, wearing a light blue shirt that has a red bow on the front of its collar.
History
Funassyi is depicted running from a rampaging Saiark. To give Pretty Cure more energy, it uses the Miracle Lights given by Ribbon and Glasan, along with several other civilians.
Later, it uses the Miracle Light one last time to power up the Cures inside the fictional Doll Kingdom.
Trivia
- Funassyi is the first real life person (or in this case, prefecture mascot) to debut in a Pretty Cure Movie.
- Hiroaki Shibata, the producer of the anime stated that Funasshi "has a positive attitude in any situation and a policy of appearing anywhere to spread joy to people." Those aspects go hand-in-hand with Happiness Charge Pretty Cure heroine Cure Lovely, striving with all her might and a positive attitude for everyone.
