## Biography

### Personality

A rather theatric, overly energetic 2nd year middle school boy. Kanon loves to sing, often doing so spontaneously, regardless of his mood. A cheerful and supportive person who believes that if he tries hard enough, anyone can become a friend. He's a rather trusting and forgiving person, sometimes too much to a point where it backfires on him. He aims to become a person who can support anyone's dreams, even if it's a dream someone else sees as "absurd". He doesn't have a goal of his own, however. Kanon, despite his personality, has rather low self confidence and hates when people worry about him. For this reason, he hides his feelings behind a smile. Despite this, he's extremely passionate about what he loves and will take any opportunity to share his interests and ideas with others.

Kanon seems to be rather scatterbrained and almost a bit dumb. He does a lot of things without realizing, often attracting attention without thinking much of it. He's rather immature and very childish for his age, seeing no reason to act like an adult because "he isn't, so what's the point", as Kanon puts it. Sometimes, Kanon focuses so much on singing that his brain has no space for other things. He calls this "blanking out". He's very considerate of other people's feelings despite his immature behavior, and will go to great lengths to help someone if they're struggling.

When fighting as a *Pretty Cure*, he'll usually fight as if he's putting on a show, aiming to entertain anyone who watches. However, this doesn't mean he doesn't take things seriously - he just thinks fighting is usually unneeded, and that things would be better if he can make anyone, regardless of who it is, smile. He believes that no matter what, as long as he sings and performs from the heart, he can do anything. Kanon often says "Curtains down!" when purifying an enemy.

Despite loving cute things, he often acts as if he doesn't because it embarasses him.

### Relationships

* **Doremi** - Argues often. Doremi often says a lot of things Kanon doesn't understand. Doremi seems to be equal parts amused and annoyed by Kanon's immaturity and boundless energy, and will sometimes tease Kanon just to get a reaction. Despite this behavior, Doremi does care for Kanon, despite not showing it. Doremi is rather strict and stern with Kanon, but that's mainly because they want to see Kanon be the best Pretty Cure he can possibly be.

### Etymology

**Utanogaoka** (歌のヶ丘, ***Utanogaoka***?) - meaning "hill of songs".

**Kanon** (カノン, ***Kanon***?) - Kanon is written in katakana, so it has no meaning in particular. If it was written in kanji (翔音), the meaning would be "flying sound/voice". However, other combinations of kanji are possible.

**Passionne** (キュアパッショーネ, ***Passionne***?) - Passionne, when written in Japanese katakana, holds no particular meaning. However, in it's original language (French), Passionne means "passionate" (masculine form).

## Cure Passionne

 **"Burning red hot and bright! The flames of passion shining in the sun! Sing out, Cure Passionne!"**
真っ赤に燃えて、明るく！ 太陽に輝く情熱の炎！響け、キュアパッショーネ！
 *Makka ni moete, akaruku! Taiyou ni kagayaku jounetsu no honoo! Hibike, Kyua Passhon'ne!*
**Cure Passionne** (キュアパッショーネ, ***Cure Passionne***?) is Kanon's *Pretty Cure* alter ego. In order to transform, he needs his **Melody PreTap**, **Melody PreCharm Blaze**, and to say the phrase "**Pretty Cure, Shine My Melody!**". As a Cure, he represents the flames of passion and sunny weather, and his theme color is red.

### Transformation

Kanon closes his eyes as his Melody PreTap glows in front of him. The PreTap flies upwards, as Kanon jumps to catch it. He then grabs it, opening his eyes with a smile, and puts it close to his heart, yelling out the transformation phrase. He throws his PreTap up in the air before catching it again, saying "Catch this!". His transformation PreCharm flies up into the air as Kanon is thrown upwards by a gust of wind. He catches the item, saying "Catch that!". He puts the PreTap on his wrist, putting his arm out and inserting the PreCharm into the opening, rotating it around before it clicks in the center, and then begins to sing. As Kanon sings, a flame circles around him, forming his shoes. He directs the flames with his fingers upwards to create the top portion of his outfit. He starts to twirl in rhythm with the song, creating rings of fire circling around him that create the bottom portion of his outfit. He winks, and reaches out his right hand towards the viewer while his left hand is on his chest, He then swipes the hand on his chest towards the left, as several music notes in a beam of light create the small ribbon at the top center of his top, as well as the brooch in the middle of it. He moves his right hand lower down the top of his outfit, creating the rest of the details. Kanon raises his left hand towards the sky in an L-shape, calling on flames through song that become beams of light, showering down to lengthen his hair. His hair is lifted by a gust of wind, as Kanon jumps upwards with his arms outstretched, his hair now changing color. He makes a peace sign with his right hand slowly over his eyes to change their color to deep pink and add the yellow details. A platform rises up underneath him as flame stairs are created. He runs down the stairs, twirling around in a rhythm before he reaches ths platform. A flame bursts from Passionne's fingertips, as he brings the flame upwards, guiding it with his hands to create his hair accessories. He then does a backflip and lands on another platform lower than the one he was on previously, the screen on his PreTap glowing various colors and creating a beam of light that creates the pouch that holds his PreMic. He twirls around with both hands on his chest as he sings, reaching his arms outwards as he sings the final parts of the song, jumping down from the platform and doing two backflips in quick succession as he lands on the last platform. Flames burst around him, some in the shape of music notes as Passionne introduces himself. Closeups of his outfit show for a quick few seconds, as Passionne poses, extending the "o" in his name as he finishes his introduction.
