A new face is joining magical girl anime You and Idol Precure♪—not another Cure, but a manager!
Junichi Suwabe joins the cast as Tanaka, a mysterious figure who knows the identities of Cure Idol and Cure Wink. As it happens, he’s been sent from Kirakiland to support Idol Precure.
Suwabe’s other roles include Dandy in Space Dandy, Eraser Head in My Hero Academia and Undertaker in Black Butler. When asked about his role, he expressed joking surprise that he wasn’t playing a member of the magical girl group itself—adding that he’s all set to play Cure Gentle or Cure Dandy if the situation presents itself.
You and Idol Precure♪, the 22nd instalment of Toei Animation’s long-running Precure anime franchise, premiered in Japan on February 2, 2025. Crunchyroll is streaming the latest series for members in North America, Central America, South America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Synopsis:
Middle school student Uta Sakura loves to sing any chance she gets. But music becomes more than a hobby when she meets Purirun, a fairy whose hometown has plunged into darkness. The Chokkiri Gang took over her land and began stealing her people’s sparkle. Determined to help, Uta is transformed into the legendary protector Cure Idol and vows to return their sparkle through song.
