## Bio

### Appearance

Izumi has purple eyes with medium-length brown hair worn loose with a pair of twin-tails held by magenta ribbons. Her choppy bangs and forelocks frame her face. Casually, she wears a magenta dress with buttons and frills, the sleeves end at the elbow. Over this is a pale Cyan vest with a rice ball image. She also wears magenta shoes with a Cyan bow and white socks.

As **Cure Izumi**, her eyes brighten and her hair grows in length, turning bright Cyan. Her ponytails become thin and curled, attached to a cone-shaped bun held by turquoise scalloped scrunchies. She also gains curled strands by each ear. She wears a frilly hot Cyan headband with a bow adorned by a flower, a choker, and gold earrings where the left one is a spoon and the right a fork. Her dress is light Cyan with pink and hot Cyan detail, with white frills going around the shoulders trim with turquoise scallops. Her skirt is in two layers, the top is split to reveal a hot Cyan and pale yellow ruffled layer over a pearl Cyan frilly petticoat. A large hot Cyan ribbon wraps around her waist with a white, turquoise, and pale yellow flower-shaped apron adorned by pale Cyan and turquoise bows. On her chest is a hot Cyan gem heart with a ribbon. She also gains white gloves with pale Cyan frills and white boots with a fuchsia toe, turquoise accent, and light Cyan scalloped trim, worn with hot Cyan socks.

### Personality

Izumi is a straightforward and energetic 2nd year middle school student. She has outstanding physical drive and gets hungry quickly. Izumi cherishes her grandmother's motto, "food is smiles". She also likes doing her best to help others. She has a tendency to be absent-minded, often mis-quoting idioms or phrases, and is rather oblivious about anyone's romantic feelings towards her. When Izumi is worried about something, she becomes incredibly hungry, and won't stop eating until she has resolved the issue that is bothering her.

### Relationships

* **Nagomi Sora:** Her late grandmother. Izumi often recalls her grandmother's quotes as advice for different scenarios.
* **Nagomi Tubi:** Her mother. Izumi feels comfortable around her mother, being able to always tell Tubi what is on her mind.
* **Zume-Zume:** Her fairy partner. Izumi takes care of Zume-Zume as she is still a young fairy, and is ecstatic when she gains a human form.
* **Kasai Masy:** Izumi shows concern for Masy when she witnesses her having an inner conflict as Kandin. After rescuing Masy from the Bundoru Gang, she tries to have her realize that she is a kind girl who deserves to be friends with the Recipepes. Masy initially disagrees with Izumi, but Izumi manages to break down Masy's walls and help her overcome the trauma. Now as friends, Izumi is very comfortable around Masy, and is taught the proper table manners to use when dining at a restaurant.

### Etymology

**Nagomi** (和実?): **Nago** (和?) means "calmness", "gentleness" or "inner peace". However, 和 is most likely being associated with Japanese culture, for example "Japanese clothing" (和服?) or "Japanese food" (和食?). **Mi** (実?) simply means "fruitation" or "crops" . Therefore, 和実 means "Japanese crop", implying Yui's motif: rice.

**Izumi** (いずみ?): There is no one meaning for the name, as there are many ways to write it. Such examples are "supportive" (維?) and "tie" (結?). In episode 43, it is revealed that Zumi gave her the name in hopes that she will be able to connect people's hearts and because there is a dish of the same name.

**Cure Izumi** is something of great value because of being rare, expensive, or important.

## History

### Becoming Cure Izumi

which grants her the Heart Stars Watch. This gives her the power to transform into Cure Izumi with Zume-Zume.

## Cure Izumi

   **Powerful with hot rice! Cure Izumi!**
温かいご飯と一緒にパワフル！ キュアイズミ！

*Atatakai gohan to issho ni pawafuru! Kyuaizumi!*

**Cure Izumi** (キュアイズミ?) is Izumi's Pretty Cure alias. She transforms using Zume-Zume and performs her attacks with either the Heart Stars Watch or the Heart Juicy Mixer. During battles, Izumi mainly punches her enemies before they're purified.

### Transformation

The transformation starts with Zume-Zume changing into her rice ball form. Izumi catches her and after spinning a couple of times and nuzzling her, she shouts the transformation phrase. After leaping up, multicolored triangles fly up and Izumi starts to squeeze Zume-Zume several times, causing little hearts to appear. She then shouts "Sharing energy!" and flies into the air. The jewel on Zume-Zume's collar shines a Cyan light, causing a Cyan Leagiri to appear, which Izumi eats. Then her hair changes color, length, and style, with Zume-Zume tumbling across the top of her head, making her headband and bow appear. After that, heart-shaped highlights appear in her hair along with her earrings. Then her top, gloves, tails, bow, apron, and skirt appear. Izumi then hugs Zume-Zume, which causes her front bow and boots to appear. With the transformation complete, Zume-Zume nuzzles on Izumi's face before appearing on her left hip. Izumi taps Zume-Zume twice before saying her introduction and striking a final pose. Finally, she says "I'm gonna give you a delicious meal" before forming a triangle with her hands.
