Akihiko Hayashi

Akihiko Hayashi(あきひこ はやし *Hayashi Akihiko*) is one of the main cures in Soul Pretty Cure. She is one of the most friendliest faces in town and is reliable, whatever the circumstances may be. Her alter ego is **Cure Life**(キュアライフ *Kyua Raifu*), which adds onto everything she does. She might be pushing herself too hard, but her catchphrase is **"No regrets!"**(後悔はありません！ *Kōkai wa arimasen!*), which shows she doesn't care about how much she works, she doesn't regret a thing.

## Personality

Aki is a smart, reliable, kind girl who is actually known for rejecting schools that try to take her just for her brilliance. If she entered the *"World's Greatest Friend"* competition, she would surely win. She does her best to bring happiness to those around her, and supports them in their daily life. She can get depressed or disappointed at times, but she attempts to hide it under a smile, which fools even her closest friends. The hard part is not being 100% honest with those close to her.

## Appearance

Aki has light blond hair that she wears in a ponytail, yellow eyes, and usually wears a yellow turtleneck sweater with a dark gold-colored skirt above black shorts. On top of all that, she wears a beige-colored trench coat. She also wears white over-the-knee socks and black knee-high boots. She lets her bangs loose most of the time, but when going to formal events, she pins them up with a single hair clip.

As Cure Life, her hair twirls itself into a braid and becomes an even lighter blond. Her bangs are curled upward into a fabulous style and is braided around her head. She has a blue-gray top that has flowing yellow short sleeves, a ruffle skirt that goes further down in the back, navy blue knee-high socks, and knee-high yellow boots. Her accessories include navy blue star earrings, a thin yellow choker, a navy blue jewel sash, and contour lined, fingerless gloves.

## Relationships

* Kazuna Morioto - Her best friend who is Cure Protection. They’ve known each other since childhood.
* Rini - A Neko Fairy from the kingdom of the Precure who gave Aki the power to transform. At first, Aki wasn't that sure about it, but she did just fine.
* Gin Akiyama - A famous singer who is Cure Free. She's a bit stubborn, but at least she accepted being a Precure. Once, Aki mistook her for someone else and Gin got mad.
* Princess Masumi Sachiko - The princess of the fallen Precure kingdom. She was very good friends with Aki and the Soul Precure 100 years ago.
* Amelie - The daughter of King Corruption who tricked Aki and Kazu into trusting her. She attempts to learn the secret to the power of the Soul Pretty Cure and steal their Cure Keys.
* Michiko Satsuki - A mysterious girl Aki and Kazu bump into while they’re at the park with Amelie. She tells them Amelie is not what she seems to be, but they didn’t believe her.
* Hajime Akiyama - Gin's brother from the end of the series
