Princess Knight
In magical girl series, the main female characters transform into ideal versions of themselves who are better equipped to handle their problems, an idea originating from "Princess Knight". Unlike hero shows, these items are often "cute" accessories associated with femininity and beauty. The first example of an item used to aid the transformation is the anime adaptation of "Himitsu no Akko-chan", in which Akko uses a compact to transform; since the broadcast of the series, compacts are commonly used as a transformation item.
