(ハリハム・ハリー Harihamu Harī)

'***Hariham Harry'*** (ハリハム・ハリー), also called **Harry**, is one of the main mascots for *HUGtto! Pretty Cure*, and also a mentor for the Cures. He is a hamster and the caretaker of Hugtan. The two fall from the sky in front of Nono Hana while being chased by the Criasu Corporation. He returned to the future and his gold chains are gone.

## Bio

A hamster like fairy who fell from the sky with Hugtan. His role is to guide the Cures, but it seems he often fails to make them motivated. Harry can transform into an amazingly handsome man and speaks in a kansai dialect.

### Appearance

Harry is a hamster with orange and cream-coloured fur and a tuft of red hair. He has brown eyes with red markings or eyelashes. He wears a gold chain, which is revealed to keep his monster form sealed away in episode 25, and a light blue pearl earring on his left ear.

In his human form, he is a cool-looking young man with messy red hair and blue eyes. He wears brown shoes, jeans, and a white T-shirt with a black leather jacket over it. He also keeps the gold chain necklace and earring from his hamster form.

In his monster form, he is way larger than he is in his hamster form with the orange part of his fur turning dark gray and his hair crimson red. His eyes also become red and retain the markings. He also gains sharp teeth and claws in this form.

### Personality

Harry is mostly highly confident but sometimes he can be hypersensitive to how others identify him as a mouse. He also tends to brag about his handsome human appearance, with him getting angered when others ignore it. Despite this, Harry is very caring, loyal, apologetic, and supportive towards his current and old friends, especially towards Hugtan.

In his monster form, Harry was extremely ferocious and would destroy anyone and anything in his path, even the Cures, until he gets calmed down by Cure Tomorrow and Cure Étoile respectively. Fortunately, he has learnt to accept his inner despair and can now control it.

### Relationships

* Hugtan - A baby who is in his care. Later on it was revealed that their closeness was related to the time he met Hugtan as Cure Tomorrow. Tomorrow's kind personality helps him overcome the shortcomings he faced, to the point of leaving Criasu to get her out of the enemy base. It is also implied that he views Tomorrow as his true love.

* Homare Kagayaki - One of his friends, though initially he was clueless to Homare's hints of her unrequited crush towards him until episode 43. Although he admitted that he couldn't return his feelings for her, he still supports her like any good friend does.

* Bicine - Originally one of Harry’s friends from his clan. The two were very close and Harry, along with Listol, even joined Criasu just to help him get healed from infection, until Harry thwarted their partnership by running away from Criasu. Harry is aware of Bicine having a pathological obsession towards him but still refuses to return to the latter’s side. Fortunately, after Bicine is purified in episode 47, they become friends again.

* Listol - Also one of Harry's friends from his clan until their personalities changed and set each other apart, owing to Listol's pessimistic attitude towards the future and succumbing to Criasu Corporation. The two even had a hand-to-hand combat in episode 39. In episode 42, Harry was shown to have noticeable dismay when Listol failed to recognize him. After Listol returns to his senses in episode 47, Harry makes up with him at last.

### Etymology

**Hari** (ハリ) refers to Needle (針 *Hari*) and to Hedgehog (ハリネズミ *Harinezumi*, which combines the Japanese words for rat and needle). The **Hamu** (ハム) in his name is a shortening of Hamster (ハムスター *Hamusutā*. His given name being Harry is thus a pun.
