This article focuses on the Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star character, Kiryuu Kaoru. For the Fresh Pretty Cure! character, see Kaoru.

Kiryuu Kaoru (霧生薫?) is a former villain in Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star. She is a denizen of the Dark Fall and is always together with her sister Michiru with whom she guards the infiltrated Fountain of Sky.

In an attempt to infiltrate Pretty Cure, attend Yuunagi Middle School as exchange students. She and her sister eventually end up befriending both Saki and Mai and later assists Pretty Cure in taking down the Dark Fall.

Bio[]

Appearance[]

Kaoru is a teenager with indigo purple eyes and long cerulean blue hair, styled back with a prominent forehead.

She usually wears the Yuunagi Middle School uniform. As a member of Dark Fall, she wears a grey robe with a blue jewel necklace and boots.

As Cure Windy, she wears a flowing long-sleeved light blue garment with indigo purple tights, blue ear studs and white boots.

During her time with Dark Fall, her eyes had no light reflection, but after gaining the power of the wind, she has light reflections in her eyes, symbolizing an awake mind and her emotional growth.

As an adult, Kaoru wears a white jacket, a cyan turtleneck blouse, a black belt with a yellow buckle, a long dark blue skirt, and grey boots. She retains the same hairstyle, although her hair has also grown slightly longer, and it with an additional silver hairclip.

As her Night persona as part of Dark Night Light, she is a super deformed blue catgirl with the same facial features and clothes she has as an adult.

Personality[]

Like Michiru, Kaoru is curious about the Land of Greenery due to being sheltered from the outside world. She initially serves as a Dark Fall spy, but is conflicted about their purpose after becoming friends with the Cures. Kaoru acts cold and dismissive, but is also calmer and more rational than Michiru, though she may come across as too frank to others.

Relationships[]

  • Kiryuu Michiru: Kaoru and Michuru share a close knit sisterly bond. Along with her sister she begged Akudaikan to stop so that she can change her own fate but ended up being seemly destroyed/imprisoned, though fortunately they were later freed. Kaoru usually lets Michiru speaks for her and once admitted to Hyuuga Minori that she is amazed by Michiru's ability to communicate with others.
  • Hyuuga Saki and Mishou Mai: Although Kiryuu Kaoru and her sister are initially sent to destroy Hyuuga Saki and Mishou Mai by getting close to them she ends up making friends with them instead. When Goyan used the Fairy Carafe to resurrect the old villains again she comes back with the help of Moop, Foop and Princess Filia and helps Saki and Mai defeat them again.
  • Hyuuga Minori: Confused by her behavior at first, Kaoru began taking a liking to Minori and became close to her. Before going into Dark Fall, Kaoru insisted that Saki should stay behind as Minori would be sad if something bad happens to her, only for Saki to remark that she will also be sad if the same should happen to her.
  • Moop and Foop: She once helped save Moop and Foop, and grows to like them.

Etymology[]

Kiryuu (霧生?): Kiri (?) means "fog" or "mist". yuu (?) means "pure"

Kaoru (?): means "scent", which represents the scented winds, due to her powers.

History[]

Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star[]

Michiru and Kaoru were created by Akudaikan to stop the Fountain of Sky from being resurrected. While there, they sometimes expressed feelings of loneliness, taking comfort in each other. One day, they see Moop and Foop in trouble and saved them, though not giving it much thought afterwards.

Later on, Michiru and Kaoru are forced to fight their friends, Hyuuga Saki and Mishou Mai. Instead of fighting, because of their newly gained friendship with the two, Michiru and Kaoru sacrifice themselves to rescue Saki and Mai from their leader, Akudaikan. As a result of this, all memories of them in the Land of Greenery disappear.

After the Dark Fall manages to steal the Fairy Carafe and resurrect all of the defeated denizens, Michiru and Kaoru are revived and join forces with Saki and Mai against the Dark Fall.

The two sisters decide to confront Akudaikan, while they are followed by the Cures. During the last battle, the Sky Tree grants Moop, Foop, Flappy and Choppy new power, enabling Saki and Mai to become Cure Bloom and Cure Egret while Michiru and Kaoru get the powers of the Moon and Wind respectively, to become Cure Bright and Cure Windy. They defeat Goyan together with Spiral Heart Splash Star. In the end, Kaoru and Michiru get to stay on the Land of Greenery after being revived by the land's spirits.

Kibou no Chikara ~Otona Pretty Cure '23~[]

Years later, Kaoru and her sister have started their own video channel, Dark Night Light, with Kaoru as her persona, Night. They have become famous internet celebrities, who are well loved by both adults and children. In the first episode, Nozomi's students at Plaisir Academy introduce them to their teacher. They describe their content as "finding beautiful and fun things" that they share with others, such as following a stray cat, or sharing interesting restaurants.

During the epidemic of Shadows, Kaoru and Michiru were actually the ones to come up with the name "Shadow" for the creatures, on their channel, Dark Light Night, which provided real-time tracking and information of the Shadows within the town and its surrounding areas.KnCOPC05

In the sixth episode, Dark Night Light advertises PANPAKA Pan Bakery, which Saki notes has caused business to boom, though she is unaware of who the true identites of those behind the channel are.

Later, when Urara and Syrup come up with a new song in the park, Kaoru and Michiru, though their faces are obscured, overhear them, and offer to play their song on their channel to hundreds of people.KnCOPC07

In the ninth episode, Kaoru and Michiru are finally fully revealed, appearing to save Saki and Mai from the Shadow at the Sky Tree. Bell notes that the two are not human, and the two confirm her claim by telling their backstory with Dark Fall, adding that the reason why they run the Dark Light Night channel is "to help people realize how precious this world is." Bell refuses to understand and turns her attention on the sisters, having the Shadow bind them with its vines. Once the battle is over, Kaoru and Michiru reveal themselves to the Pretty Cure group, shocking everyone including Saki and Mai. They tell everyone that they've been visiting the places where the Shadows have appeared, and determined that at the center of all these appearances is the clock tower, where Bell should be.

In the following episode, when Saki and Mai discuss that defeating Bell will stop all the Shadows from appearing, Kaoru and Michiru express their doubt, noting that the creatures are born from the silhouettes of people, likely those with impure intentions. When Mai asks the two if they believe humans are the cause of the Shadows, they are unsure.

Kaoru and her sister later livestream a broadcast to encourage the townspeople to help the Cures. After the final battle, she agrees with Michiru that there is still hope for humanity, despite some people having negative attitudes in life.KnCOPC12
