Akimoto Komachi

Akimoto Komachi (秋元こまち Akimoto Komachi or อากิโมโตะ โคมาจิ

in the Thai sub) is kind and shy, and likes to read books and write. She is a 3^rd grade secondary student at L'École des Cinq Lumières Middle School. However, once she is angered enough, she will snap and release her temper. Along with her best friend, Minazuki Karen, Komachi is also a popular senior at her school. She is a volunteer at the school library, along with Karen, and often spends her time there writing stories. Her dream is to become a writer, and she exhibits particular talent in this: though he harshly criticized about the first half of it, Natts praised her first completed story upon the seventh revision, and he does not give praise lightly. Her parents own a traditional Japanese sweetshop, which has the same name as her, Komachi. Her alter ego is the Cure of Tranquility, Cure Mint (キュアミント Kyua Minto). Her sister, Madoka, has also told the others in Pretty Cure that Komachi is very weak and sulky when being even slightly criticized.

Relationships[]

Minazuki Karen : Komachi's best friend is Karen, and she was also her only friend until she got to know Yumehara Nozomi, though it is unknown how they met each other. After becoming a part of Pretty Cure, she gets friends with everyone, but is still formal and uses the suffix "-san" (resembling the English "Mr." and "Ms.") to everyone except Karen.

Kasugano Urara : After a certain episode in the series, Komachi gets in better terms with Urara, who both have a dream in opera performance.

Natts : Komachi has a crush on Natts' human form, and easily blush before him. Though he often seems like catching the clues, he does not openly show any affection toward her. However, everything he does for her, like commenting her work, making her happy, or other things, she usually ends up in tears. In the end, she admit her love for him in her second novel, where she also has problems at the end because she does not know how to split the main characters, reflecting on Komachi's own fear of saying goodbye to Natts.

Etymology[]

Akimoto (秋元) : A common Japanese family name. Aki (秋) translates to "autumn", most likely referring to Cure Mint's plant-based powers and the common association of autumn and the leaves of plants turning color. Moto (元) translates to "source".

Komachi (こまち) : Within the Yes! Pretty Cure 5 universe, Komachi was named after her family's shop, at her sister's suggestion ^YPC5GG20. When written in kanji as 小町 (こまち), the name or word means "belle" or "town beauty". Komachi's name is not written in kanji, but it is worth noting that the name of the shop that she gets her name from is written as such.

Her name means, "autumn source town beauty." or "autumn source belle."

Cure Mint : Plants in the mint family are known for their calming properties therefore establishing a link between Komachi being the Cure of tranquility and her name.
