Miyuki Hoshizora (星空 みゆき, Hoshizora Miyuki) is the protagonist of the 2012 anime series Smile PreCure!. She is a second-year transfer -year student to Nanairogaoka Middle School who loves fairy tales. At the beginning of the series, she meets Candy, a fairy from the magical realm of Märchenland, and gains the power to transform into Cure Happy (キュアハッピー, Kyua Happi). Her last name, Hoshizora, means "starry sky", which ties into her light-based powers, while her first name, Miyuki, means "happiness".
Because of Smile PreCure!'s wide worldwide release and subsequent popularity, Miyuki is one of the most well-known Cures in the franchise. Her cheerful, outgoing, but slightly childish attitude has also been seen in the Cures that followed her, such as Haruka Haruno/Cure Flora of Go! Princess PreCure and Mirai Asahina/Cure Miracle of Witchy Pretty Cure!.
Miyuki is a fourteen-year old girl with light skin, dark magenta hair, and magenta eyes. She is a little under five feet tall and her blood type is O.[2] She usually wears Nanairogaoka Middle School's female school uniform, which consists of a white blazer with puffy sleeves, a blue skirt, a pink tie, white socks with blue stripes, and black loafers.
Miyuki is characterized by her cheerful attitude, as she strives to be happy and have a positive outlook no matter what. However, she is not very studious and is often late to school. Her catchphrase is "Ultra Happy!" (ウルトラハッピー !) (ウルトラハッピー !), Urutora Happī!)
The team's mascot is a fairy named Candy. who is king and helpful, but often causes them trouble, usually through messing with one of Majorina's discarded inventions. This includes switching bodies with Miyuki and causing mayhem in her school, and using a magic camera to turn Miyuki and Akane invisible.
Miyuki's Smile Pact, an item she receives from Candy, grants her Pretty Cure powers. As Cure Happy, she has hot pink hair worn in long pigtails. She wears a white tiara with feather accessories, a pink dress with a magenta bow on the front and white ruffles on the sleeves, white cuffs with pink bands, magenta shorts, and white boots with pink accents and heels. Cure Happy's powers are based on light and sparkles, most prominently with her finisher, the Happy Shower.[3]
In the English dub of Smile PreCure!, which is titled Glitter Force, Miyuki is voiced by Laura Bailey. She is renamed Emily and Cure Happy is renamed Glitter Lucky, and Happy Shower is renamed to Sparkle Storm.
Cure Happy made cameos in HappinessCharge PreCure! and Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure to celebrate the franchise's 10th and 20th anniversary. In Hug! Pretty Cure, Miyuki is summoned into the Cures' town and battles Doctor Traum along with all the other Cures in the franchise up to that point.
In a 2019 survey conducted by the NHK, Miyuki was ranked the twenty-first most popular Cure through 613,524 votes.[4]
