(決定!, Ket-tei!)” when she decides on something not exactly with everyone’s permission. Formed a crush on Coco (in his human form) at first sight, and her feelings grow as the series progresses. This also has started a love triangle between her and Milk for Coco, because both have feelings for him. In Pretty Cure 5 Go! Go! movie, Nozomi kisses Coco in human form. Though her teammates are vastly different from her, Nozomi learns how to become their friend, and their leader. Cure Dream wears pink, and her costume has a design resembling that of Cure Rouge. For catching Pinkies, Coco gets a bell from her Pinky Catch.

According to the release date of the second movie, Nozomi’s birthday is November 8th.
