Cure Rosso also known as the Cure of Passion, wears red and orange clothing, and her counterpart is Cure Wave. Her strength erupts fire within her. Alone, Cure Rosso can perform Rosso Fire. Later in the story, when she receives her Rosso Tact, she can use Fire Burning. Together with the other girls, she can do the Rainbow Explosion attack.
==Transformations==
Pretty Cure Metamorphose - "Pretty Cure Metamorphose!" is the official phrase Akako uses to transform into Cure Rosso in Chikara! Pretty Cure 5 and Chikara! Pretty Cure 5 Love-Love!
In Chikara! Pretty Cure 5, Akako's Pinky Catch opens and she shouts, "Pretty Cure...". She makes a circular motion with her arm and shouts, "...metamorphose!" Her body then becomes covered in a red glow. Her top and brooch appear first, followed by her arm warmers, skirt and boots. Her hair turns red, her Pinky Catch closes and Cure Rosso recites her introductory speech.
==Attacks==
Rosso Fire - The red butterfly mark on her arm ingnites on fire and produces a mass of fire. She then thrusts her hand at the mass, sending it to the enemy and defeating it.
Fire Burning - Red light from Cure Rosso's butterfly bow shines, whereas the light follows her right arm. When it has reached her fingertips, the Rosso Tact appears. Using this, she holds up the tact, then pulls it back. The rod portion of the item ignites on fire, and like her first attack, produces a mass of fire. She then thrusts the tact at the mass, sending it to the enemy and destroying it.
==Etymology==
Ikigomi (意気込み) - Ikigomi means Enthusiasm most likely referring to her alter ego as Cure of Passion.
Akako (あかこ) - Akako means Autumn child, Bright child or Iris.
==Triva==
*Akako is the first Cure of this season, who is not the child of a old Cure.
