Personality[]

Riko is a serious thirteen year old girl who attends a school in the magic world. She is great at studying but her magic is weak. She is insecure but hopes to become a respectable witch in the future like her sister. Riko is unsure of what she wants to do when she grows up and often worries about it, but after she lives with Mirai, her life becomes a little less worrisome and more bright.

Relationships[]

  • Asahina Mirai: Mirai and Riko meet by chance and become Pretty Cure partners, gradually building an inseperable bond, which is also strengthened by them taking responsibility and raising Ha-chan. In the manga, their relationship has a romantic note, with emphasis on them raising a child together like a lovey-dovey couple.
  • Liz: Liz is Riko's older sister. When they were young, Liz was Riko's role model, but after Liz became a student in Magic School, their relationship became strained due to them being separated, and things became even worse when Riko became a student and found out that in spite of imitating her sister, she didn't have the same talent when it came to practical magic. However, Riko still loves her sister and is determined to one day surpass her, and they later learn to repair their relationship.
  • Ha-chan: Riko helped raise Ha-chan as a child and was happy to reunite with her after their battle with Dokurokushe. Riko is also very surprised by Ha-chan's magical ability. It is also implied in the manga that Ha-chan is her adoptive child. Compared to Mirai, Riko is the stricter parent, who tolerates less of Ha-chan's impulsiveness.
  • Lian: Her father. Riko initially thought that Lian only cared about work instead of her well-being, because of him always working for long distance and his task-oriented personality, although she still cares for him. However, she realizes that Lian still loves and cares for her after he protected her from Benigyo, and they begin to have a better understanding and relationship for each other.
  • Lilia: Her mother. Although Riko sometimes finds Lilia over-affectionate, she still loves her mother. She also remembers Lilia telling her favorite bedtime story when she was a child.

Etymology[]

Izayoi (十六夜?) means "sixteen-day-old moon". A sixteen-day-old moon has just passed its fullest phase, so it is at this point that its brightness begins to decline.

Riko (リコ?) has no meaning in katakana but in kanji, it has two meanings. It can mean 'jasmine child' with the kanji 莉子 or 'truthful child' with 理子. It also resembles 利口な (rikou na), which is Japanese for "smart".[1]

Cure Magical means something that can be produced by or as if it is magic. [1]

History[]

Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure![]

Past[]

When Riko's Magic Wand was created, it was blessed by a shooting star. This is why Liz gave her pendant, which was the Linkle Stone Dia, to Riko, because she thought it was a sign that Riko would become an even greater magician than Liz.

As a child, Riko used to be closer with her family. She used to learn how to use magic with Liz as well. However, after Liz enrolled into the Magic School and her father Lian became more busy with his job, Riko gradually drifted apart from them and a wedge between them was formed.

Meeting Mirai[]

Riko is out one night flying on her magic broom while looking for the Linkle Stone Emerald. As she spins out of control, she falls into a tree and grabs onto a branch, boasting to a nearby cat that she meant to do that, but falls again as the branch snaps. The next morning, she is out searching again. Almost falling off her broom, she notices a girl had dropped something. She decides to tell her then slowly floats away again but the girl chases after her and tells her she saw her last night. She introduces herself as Asahina Mirai and asks to be her friend but Riko tells her she is in a hurry and speaks the magic words "Cure Up! Ra-pa-pa!" and takes off on the broom once more as Mirai grabs on and tells her not to leave. Having one more passenger than usual, Riko runs out of energy and the broom loses its magic. As both girls start to fall, Riko's pendant begins to glow and she notices that Mirai has the same one but in pink. They both float in the air for a while as they are both surprised that they have the same pendant but soon fall back down after realizing they are hungry.

Mirai treats the magician to strawberry melon bread to restore her energy and she asks if she can ride her broom. Riko tells her that it's only built for one person but since she helped her with getting something to eat, she decides to show Mirai some magic. She demonstrates it with her magic wand on a cat, trying to make it speak but is only able to make it yap and say "blah, blah" repeatedly. Mirai suggests for Riko to use her magic on Mofurun. She tells Mirai that it's impossible because toys can't talk in the first place. Mirai tells her that her grandmother gave Mofurun to her when she was born so they are like siblings and she wishes she was able to talk to it. After being thanked by Mirai again, Riko decides to finally introduce herself.MTPC01

Becoming Pretty Cure[]

Riko decides to part ways with Mirai and keep searching for the Linkle Stone Emerald but Mirai decides to tag along anyway, wondering why both their pendants where shining. They are then approached by a mysterious person named Batty, who is also looking for the Linkle Stone Emerald. Riko asks him what he knows about the Linkle Stones but Mirai drags Riko with her and runs away, saying she feels a dangerous presence from the person. But Batty appears in front of them again, talks about the Linkle Stones and decides to attack the girls. Riko activates her broom and tries to get away with Mirai. Batty still catches up to them and summons a Yokubaru from a nearby truck and flies after them. Mofurun is blown away from Mirai's basket from the wind and Riko catches it but is knocked off her broom by the Yokubaru. Mirai manages to grab her hand in time but falls off the broom while still holding onto it. Batty mocks Riko about not being able to do anything from the start and she begins chanting "Cure Up! Ra-pa-pa! Monster go far away!" Batty laughs at her but Mirai joins in and chants with Riko.

As they grip their hands and chant the magic words one more time, their purple and pink pendants turn to golden ones as Mofurun's appearance changes. By inserting their pendants into Mofurun's bow-tie, the girls then transform into Pretty Cure, Cure Miracle and Cure Magical. They manage to dodge the Yokubaru's attacks and soon defeat it. After they turn back to normal, Mirai looks for Mofurun and finds out he is now living and able to speak. Riko takes Mirai to the station saying she needs to return to her school and tell someone about what happened. She uses a special card to change the train station's appearance so that they will be able to go to the Magic World's Magic School.MTPC01

Arriving At The Magic School[]

As both girls are on their way to the Magic World on a magic train pulled by a giant snail named Snailiner, Riko wonders how Mofurun is now able to speak. Mofurun says he just really wanted to talk with Mirai. Riko guesses that it must be connected to them become Pretty Cure. Mirai asks Riko what Pretty Cure are and she tells her that they are the magicians of legend and becomes excited knowing that she will be praised by the professors for become one. Riko then treats Mirai to a frozen orange and decides to show her more of her magic by thawing it out but only manages to do so halfway as Mirai mentions it's still cold and hard, yet tasty. After finally reaching the Magic School, Mirai mentions how Riko's wand is amazing and that she wants one too, but Riko tells her that magic wands are only given to magicians from birth. The Kyoto then appears and scolds Riko for leaving the Magic World and bringing a human with her without permission. Riko quickly tells her that she and Mirai became Pretty Cure but she does not believe her and tells her she will be discussing her punishment with the Kouchou. She tells Riko to wait in the classroom or else she will be expelled. Mirai feels that it's her fault but Riko tells her it's not and admits she is not good at magic and decided to travel to the No Magic World to find the Linkle Stone Emerald to impress her professors. After Mirai revives confidence from Mofurun and her glowing Linkle Stone Dia, she decides to talk to the Kouchou herself and tells Riko to stay in the classroom.

While waiting for Mirai, Riko wonders why she is so eager to help her since they only just met. Worried that she might have gotten lost, Riko disobeys the Kyoto's warnings and goes outside to look for Mirai. She then saves her from Batty by flying into him on her broom and knocks him over, saying she meant to do that. Mirai thanks Riko for saving her and they transform into Pretty Cure again and defeat the Yokubaru with Diamond Eternal. Riko asks Mirai how she got a magic wand as the Kouchou appears and tells her she received it from the Wand Tree. Riko is startled and Mirai only realizes that the man is in fact the Kouchou and tells him that they became Pretty Cure, only to be interrupted by him as he tells them he would like them to attend classes together, which surprises them both.MTPC02

Magic Lessons[]

Riko and Mirai start attending magic lessons in episode 4. Their first lesson is to catch a paper butterfly. Riko is paired with Mirai and they start trying to catch it. Riko gets separated from Mirai and looks for her. She finds her in the magic library where Gamettsu attacks them. They defeat him and find a mysterious glowing object. A baby is born from it.

The lessons continue in episode 5 where the class is sent to a frozen region of the Magic World. Their lesson is to boil a kettle with magic. Everyone in the class but Riko passes which frustrates her. Since Mirai passed the lesson, Riko gets in a fight with her. When Mirai goes flying after the Yokubaru attacks her, Riko calls out her name and they transform into their Ruby Style and defeat the Yokubaru. The girls now have possession of the Linkle Stone Aquamarine and Riko becomes better friends with Mirai.

Parting Ways With Mirai And Arriving At The No Magic World[]

Soon, the final lesson, which is about making the flower on Liz's hat bloom, comes. However, it also means to Riko that Mirai's time at the Magic World has come to an end. Even though both are upset about this fact, Riko is moved by how Mirai still wants her to pass the test and achieve her dream of becoming the greatest magician. After the fight with Batty, a few days later Riko and Ha-chan have to watch Mirai and Mofurun leave on the Snailier, and both Riko and Mirai are separated with each other in tears. But soon, Kouchou and Magic Crystal send Riko to the No Magic World after they find out that a new Linkle Stone has been discovered there, and thus reunites both Riko and Mirai. MTPC09

When first arriving at the No Magic World, Riko is unfamiliar with the new surroundings, and she soon gets lost when trying to chase a crow that has snatched the Linkle Stone Topaz. When feeling hungry and weak, she meets Mirai's mother Kyoko, and gets to know Mirai better through her. MTPC10

Raising Ha-chan[]

As time passes, both Riko and Mirai grow closer to Ha-chan as her mother figures. During their time in the No Magic World, she and Mirai always take Ha-chan along with them.

One day, when Riko is too focused on studying while Mirai has overslept, they both unknowingly make Ha-chan grumpy, and soon she and Mirai are shocked that Ha-chan is transforming between forms due to using all the available Linkle Stones at once to feed herself. They both have to search for her while trying to stop Ha-chan from causing more fuss at their school with her form changes. After rescuing Ha-chan from Sparda, Riko and Mirai promise Ha-chan to pay more attention to her needs as they accept her apology.MTPC15

Unfortunately, Dokurokushe later finds out about Ha-chan and gets his grip on her, and no matter how Magical and Miracle try fighting back, they can't prevent the outcome of him trapping Ha-chan inside his body. To both girls' shock, they witness Ha-chan growing into her final form and disappearing after Dokurokushe is purified and meets his demise.MTPC21 But sometime later, Riko and Mirai come across Cure Felice who arrives to join and help them defeat Yamoh, and to their immense joy, Felice's real identity is actually Ha-chan as they recognize and are reunited with her. MTPC22

Relationship With Her Family[]

During the season's events, Riko slowly begins to patch up her respective relationships with her family.

When Liz replaces Isaac-sensei as the substitute teacher for teaching how to create a shape from water, Riko tries to impress Liz. Frustrated at her own constant failures, Riko gets angry when Liz tells her to be less ambitious, and storms off. However, after Mirai tells Riko that Liz actually sees potential in her, Magical begins to appreciate Liz again as she and Miracle save Liz from Sparda's Yokubaru. She later apologizes to Liz for her behavior, and Liz in turn is happy that Riko really shows her own potential.MTPC06

As Lian is tasked to come to the No Magic World to investigate about the Linkle Stones, Riko becomes rather awkward around him, as he has learned her identity as Magical from Kouchou and how he is very engrossed in his task, neglecting her feelings as a result. But then, she learns that her father actually still loves and cares for her after Mirai tells her how Daikichi expressed his care upon reuniting with Mirai, and she decides to protect Lian from Benigyo, after witnessing him being overpowered by Benigyo's Donyokubaru. She then bids Lian goodbye after listening to him apologize to her and leaving after he promises to visit her with her mother.MTPC33

When Riko's family comes to visit her on her birthday, Riko is embarrassed by her mother Lilia's over-affection. But after overhearing how Lilia has invested her feelings to make her feel happy and loved, and later Lilia telling her that she is happy to see how much she has improved after she arrived in No Magic World, Riko realizes that her mother loves and cares for her. After a fight with Shakince's Donyokubaru, that night Riko gains the courage to thank them for organizing her a birthday party, and looks forward to the next time that her family promises to make more grander.MTPC40

Running For Student Council President[]

Upon learning that the school is holding a student council president election, Riko is persuaded and quickly enrolls herself as a candidate against Namiki Yuuto. However, after hearing how Yuuto has a clear goal for becoming the potential president, Riko realizes that she doesn't have a good reason for running for the position. Inspired by Yuuto who wants to protect the flowerbed, Magical is overflowed with power and musters up the courage to fight against Benigyo's Donyokubaru. She then voluntarily hands the president position to Yuuto, as she decides that she wants to figure out more about herself, as well as Yuuto being more suitable for the role. She apologizes to her supporters and as she shakes hands with Yuuto, Riko hopes someday she will find her answer.MTPC35

Epilogue[]

As Deusmast forcibly fuses both No Magic World and Magic World together, Riko and her companions come together to fight against him to protect both worlds from his destruction.

She tearfully bids Mirai farewell as they are forced to be dragged back to their respective worlds.

Six years later, Riko has become a teacher of the Magic School, and on the fateful night she first met Mirai, she finally reunites with Mirai, who she spots descending from a great height after catching Mofurun. They are both joined by Mofurun and Kotoha as they finally reunite as a family. MTPC49
