For the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 and Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! character, see Masuko Mika.

Masuko Miyo (増子 美代)? is a reporter in the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure! universe. She is reporting about Japan and other countries' Pretty Cures.

Bio[]

Appearance[]

Miyo has short brown hair and wears glasses. She resembles Masuko Mika from the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 universe, but they aren't the same despite their similar appearances and surnames.

Personality[]

Like Mika, she is involved in mass communication. Although she is a broadcast reporter instead of a print one, she is also very enthusiastic and engaging when she reports on the Cures from other countries. She loves to interview, but she can't stand being interviewed.

Etymology[]

Her name is a pun on the Japanese "masukomi", meaning "mass media". It's an abbreviation for the English phrase "mass communication".

History[]

Masuko Miyo first appears in episode 8, where she introduces herself as the host of the television show Pretty Cure Weekly. She features various international Pretty Cure, including the Bomber Girl Pretty Cures from Texas, the solo Cure Art from France, and the Wonderful Net Pretty Cure. However, she is especially interested in Japan's own Happiness Charge Pretty Cure and travels to Pikarigaoka to feature them on her show.

Miyo interviews the girls after they defeat a Saiark with Twin Miracle Power Shoot. Later, she returns to the town to interview Oresky during a fight with the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure, and records Cure Fortune appearance saving the day.

In episode 16, Miyo travels again to Pikarigaoka to unveil the true identities of the Happiness Charge Pretty Cure. It is revealed that her interest in the Pretty Cure began when she was rescued from a Saiark by Cure Tender. Cure Lovely reveals her identity and invites Miyo to become a Pretty Cure. Blue gives Miyo a Love Crystal, but she is unable to become a Pretty Cure. Miyo thinks it may be because she's already an adult.

Later that day, clearly downtrodden, Miyo is swinging on the swing set when one of her shoes flies off and hits Namakelder on the head, interrupting his lounging. She knows that he is one of the Phantom Empire's generals, and he tells her if she can't become a Cure, she could always become a Saiark, and captures her, creating a Reporter Saiark, who possesses all of her knowledge on Pretty Cure, making a formidable enemy. Cure Honey defeats it using a new form change, Coconuts Samba, which Miyo has never seen. Miyo returns to her job on the TV show and decides to keep the identities of Happiness Charge Pretty Cure a secret. She is seen wearing the Crystals of Love as a necklace. Blue realizes that the real reason Miyo could not become a Pretty Cure is that by reporting on the Pretty Cure, she already has an important role in giving hope to the world.

In the last episode, Miyo finds the reborn Namakelder, and interviews him about his past. She then gives chase when she notices that he's running away from the interview.
