Description
Kobayashi Mikuru is a fourteen-year-old second-year middle school student who serves as one of the main protagonists of the series. She is a girl who dreams of becoming a great detective and is characterized by her clumsy yet straightforward nature. Despite her awkwardness, she possesses a wealth of detective knowledge and works harder than anyone else to achieve her goals. Her approach to problem-solving is methodical and thoughtful; she is the type of person who carefully considers all aspects of a situation rather than relying on intuition to find answers. This deliberate personality makes her naturally cautious when taking action. Beyond her deductive pursuits, she has a deep love for cute things.
Mikuru's background holds several mysterious elements. She previously lived abroad with her grandmother, who gave her a special pendant, before moving to her current city. Her grandmother is implied to have been a detective in the past, and the pendant may be an heirloom passed down through generations, possibly connecting her family to a legacy of Star Detectives. This connection to the past is a significant part of her motivation, as her passion for becoming a Detective Precure has long been her dream, and this aspiration is what gives her power.
The story introduces her when she meets Akechi Anna, a girl who has traveled back in time from the year 2027 to 1999. Mikuru forms an immediate and essential partnership with Anna, and together they transform into the great detective Precure. Their relationship is one of mutual support; while Mikuru is thoughtful and tends to hold back, Anna's drive and ability to act quickly complement her cautious nature, creating a balanced and effective duo. Mikuru deeply admires this quality in her partner and learns from her proactive approach. Alongside Anna, she helps run the Cure It Detective Agency, where they solve mysteries and work to protect people's smiles from the Phantom Thieves.
When transforming, she becomes Cure Mystique, the great detective who invites others to jump into a smile with layered deductions. While her specific combat abilities are not detailed, her role emphasizes the use of deductive reasoning and intellectual skills to resolve cases. As a character, Mikuru develops through her experiences as a Precure, with her backstory and the secrets surrounding her grandmother and the origin of her pendant representing a key area of growth and mystery to be explored.
