Fan Nickname/Anime and Manga/Pretty Cure

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Fan Nicknames for Pretty Cure include:

  • Fresh Pretty Cure
    • AnaHol-kun: The crudely-drawn dog thing on the sign of the Animal Hospital Inori's family owns.
    • Cure Babaa II: Miki at first (just for looking like Karen), Setsuna later on.
    • mktn: Miki(-tan), for obvious reasons...
    • Nozomirara: Love (Cure Peach). This nickname is a portmanteau of Nozomi and Urara, both from Yes! Pretty Cure 5 as well, and it was earned because of Love's resemblance to both.
    • Secchin: Setsuna, naturally. A variation is "Secchan", which becomes canon later on.
    • SetsuPoji: Setsuna's pose while bowling in episode 15. Was already a meme before said episode was even aired.
  • Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star
    • Pineapple - Saki, for Cure Bloom's hair which resembles a pineapple.
    • Not!Nagisa and Not!Honoka - Saki and Mai early on. These nicknames have quickly fallen out of use.
  • Heartcatch Pretty Cure
    • Ojamajo Pretty Cure - The show itself, because the character design that's similar to Ojamajo Doremi. There's a rumor that staff making this anime also called it with such nickname.
    • Cure Casshern - Cure Moonlight, with the similar reason like above, but for Casshern Sins instead.
    • Cure Baro - Dark Pretty Cure, because she shares a seiyuu with Conan Edogawa. Baro is Shinichi/Conan's way of saying bakayarou (idiot).
    • Cure Bubbles - Cure Marine, to go with the canon Cure Blossom. Now, if there's a third, green Precure...
      • The third Precure is yellow, but she fits the description of "the toughest fighter", so "Cure Buttercup" is still appropriate.
    • Tuxedo Megane/Tuxedo Glasses and Zetsubou Sensei II - the yet unnamed mysterious boy who rescues Cure Blossom in the second episode. The former name is given for his role similar to that of Tuxedo Kamen/Mask from "Sailor Moon", and the later for his remarkable resemblence to Zetsubou.
  • Smile Pretty Cure
    • Cure Jupiter - Nao/Cure March, due to her resemblance to Makoto Kino
    • Cure Pikachu - Yayoi/Cure Peace. She wears yellow, has Lightning powers, and "Peace" sounds like "Pikachu".
  • Yes! Pretty Cure 5
    • Babaa-sama - Karen, as her appearance and voice don't match her age.
    • Nozomi is "Donut" for her hairstyle. (Or was; a character was introduced in season two who is actually named King Donut, which quickly squashed any use of the name.)
    • Urara is "Cream Horn" for similar reasons to Nozomi. Also, "Cure Pine-Sol", because her speech sounds like a pitch for a cleaning product.
    • Komachi is "Retasu" after the Tokyo Mew Mew character from whom she is obviously cloned (also, "Mama", to match "Babaa").
    • Kurumilk - Milk/Kurumi/Milky Rose. This name is more popular in Japanese fandom.
    • Aqua Sword - Cure Aqua's Aqua Ribbon, which becomes a sword due to New Powers as the Plot Demands.
    • Mint Cannon - Cure Mint's Kamehame Hadoken version of Mint Shield.
    • UraPoji - The top half of Urara's head poking out from the bottom of the screen at one point in episode 6.
    • The members of Dark Cure all get goofy names reacting to something about the original Cure.
    • Precure Rangers - Yes! Pretty Cure 5, being the first team of five rather than a duo, and colour-coded at that.
