Description
Hoshina Hikaru, also known as Cure Star, is a second-year middle school student whose life is defined by a deep fascination for constellations and space. Her hot pink eyes and short-medium curled hair, worn in twin-tails fastened with yellow spheres and a large curled central lock, immediately capture attention. Her distinctive civilian style features a blue headband with spheres and a star, a pale pink off-shoulder blouse with a white collar, denim short-style overalls with frills and star-shaped pockets, a hot pink belt, spiked frilled socks, and pink-and-white sneakers. The Star Color Pendant always hangs around her neck. In colder months, she layers an oversized hot pink hoodie with a light pink hood and star motifs over a light blue scarf, mittens, pink socks, and pink-and-white boots.
Driven by imagination and curiosity, and occasionally marked by stubbornness, Hikaru operates on intuition and dives deeply into her interests, often pulling others along without considering their wishes. Though generally enthusiastic and supportive, she is vulnerable to moments of profound distress when facing loss or defeat. Her personal journey sees her evolve from a self-centered individual focused on fun into someone who deeply values her friends' wellbeing.
Her story begins in childhood, where her father nurtured her love for astronomy before departing to research unidentified mysterious animals worldwide. She became a regular at the planetarium run by her friend Sorami Ryoutarou. One night, while stargazing and sketching constellations, she witnessed a shooting star and imagined a mouse-like alien. By connecting stars in her notebook, she accidentally summoned the creature, Fuwa. Naming the fluffy being and bonding over donuts, Hikaru’s life was forever altered.
Soon after, she met the alien Lala Hagoromo and her companion Prunce, who were fleeing the malevolent Notraiders. When their spaceship came under attack and Fuwa was put in danger, Hikaru leapt after her without a second thought. That fierce determination materialized a Star Color Pen and Star Color Pendant, triggering an involuntary transformation into Cure Star. This form enables survival in space and combat prowess against foes like the Nottorei, wielding a "Star Punch" attack that can be amplified with Princess Star Color Pens. As Cure Star, her hair lengthens to her thighs, adorned with pale pink rings and golden stars, and secured in twin-tails ending in large spheres. She dons an elaborate pink-and-fuchsia dress with celestial motifs and sakura petals, a light pink pouch for her pens, and star-adorned shoes.
Her relationships shape her path. She forms a quick bond with Lala despite early friction, shares a profound connection with Fuwa—enduring heartbreak when Fuwa loses her memories—and deeply respects her classmates Amamiya Elena and Kaguya Madoka, helping the latter overcome perfectionism. Her persistence even wins over the distant alien Yuni, while childhood friend Sorami Ryoutarou remains a steady supporter of her astronomical passions.
During the events of "Hoshi no Uta ni Omoi wo Komete," Hikaru becomes central when a Star Drop creature named UMA emerges from Lala's belongings. After UMA transports her, Lala, and Fuwa to Okinawa, Hikaru experiments with its teleportation ability, leading them to global landmarks like the Nazca Lines and Angel Falls. UMA responds warmly when Hikaru sings "The Shooting Star Song," strengthening their bond. When alien hunters target UMA and threaten Earth, Hikaru and the other Pretty Cures mount a defense. After UMA stabilizes and departs to form a new planet, Hikaru holds onto hope for a future reunion.
As an adult, Hikaru becomes an astronaut, honoring a promise to Lala. Her appearance matures into a short bob with a white streak, and she is often seen in a blue astronaut uniform or casual attire: a white overcoat, pink sweater-blouse, grey trousers, and celestial accessories including gold star earrings and a twin star necklace. Her name reflects her destiny—Hoshina (星) meaning "star," and Hikaru (光 or 輝) meaning "light" or "brightness," perfectly aligning with her identity as Cure Star.
