Kisaragi Reiko

She has long black hair and wears silver-rimmed under-rim oval glasses.

Her uniform skirt is slightly longer than average and she wears over-the-knee socks.

Her casual outfit consists of blue clothing paired with a white vest and pants.

Reiko is highly principled and demands strict adherence to rules.

She is stern and sometimes stubborn, with little patience for disruptive behavior.

Despite her harshness, she is deeply fair and makes clear distinctions between public duty and private feelings.

Once her walls come down, she is openly affectionate, especially towards cute creatures.

She respects authority, uses honorifics for respected seniors, and dislikes impropriety.

Kisaragi Reiko is a second-year middle school student at Noble Academy.

She serves as the Chair of the Disciplinary Committee and belongs to the same grade as Kaido Minami.

Her unique feature among Pretty Cure female characters is her single eyelids.

Her dream is to become a judge, as revealed in the 43rd episode.

Among non-Pretty Cure students, she appears in the most episodes.

While she lacks supernatural powers, Reiko is steadfast, determined, and unyielding in her opinions.

She is highly observant, often being the first to notice when rules are broken.

She demonstrates strong leadership within the school community and is capable of influencing regulations.

She keeps a close and watchful eye on Haruno Haruka, frequently reprimanding her for rule-breaking.

Despite her strictness, she comes to deeply respect Haruka for her positive changes and ability to influence rules for the better.

Reiko holds Kaido Minami in high esteem, using honorifics and reacting with visible jealousy when others are friendly with her.

Originally, Reiko opposed keeping Pafu in the dorm, citing the rules, though her real reason was a fear of dogs.

After Pafu risked herself to save Reiko from a Zetsuborg, Reiko overcame her fear and embraced Pafu, becoming her greatest fan and playmate.

She later enjoys Pafu’s company so much that it becomes a running joke among fans that she’s obsessed, with internet circles humorously exaggerating her feelings.

Reiko’s sternness is so iconic that she remained the single holdout in approving Pafu’s dorm life, despite peer pressure.

She never used her personal dislike of dogs as an excuse publicly, always upholding professionalism.

She is one of the first “ordinary” students to display courage after the Pretty Cure’s defeat in the final battle.

Her popularity as a supporting character is high due to her frequent appearances and relatable moments.

In fan art communities, she is often depicted in comedic situations, especially regarding her affection for Pafu.

“It’s the rules. Exceptions cannot be made lightly.”

“Respect for order keeps everyone safe.”

“I am not against Pafu out of spite, but rules must be followed.”

Opposition to Pafu’s Residency

When the issue of keeping Pafu in the girls’ dorm arises, Reiko leads the opposition, rigorously defending the dorm’s rules.

Despite mounting pressure as other students change their minds, Reiko stands firm, believing her personal feelings about dogs are irrelevant to the rule.

Change of Heart

Her resolution only breaks when she sees the tiny Pafu bravely shield her from a Zetsuborg attack.

Deeply touched, she changes her vote and allows Pafu to stay, leading to a personal transformation in which she becomes notably warmer, often smiling while doting on Pafu—much to everyone’s surprise.

Relationship with Haruka and Minami

She is initially suspicious of Haruka’s influence on school order, but comes to respect her as Haruka grows and even adjusts the rules for everyone’s benefit.

Her admiration for Minami is so strong that she gets angry seeing Haruka becoming friendly with Minami.

Her interactions with both characters underscore her high standards and sometimes comedic jealousy.

Final Battle and Courage

When the Pretty Cure are defeated and despair overtakes everyone, Reiko is the first regular student to stand and resist, refusing to yield to hopelessness.

Epilogue

By the end, Reiko shows she has overcome her old fears, seen happily interacting even with large dogs in the graduation epilogue, signifying her growth.

In the manga adaptation by Futago Kamikita, she is often shown being caught up in Haruka’s mishaps, which makes her somewhat traumatized by Haruka’s clumsiness.

Her voice actress is Risa Mizuno.

She frequently appears as background support in the anime, often with comedic moments or playing an important part in school events.
