Sakagami Ayumi (坂上あゆみ, Sakagami Ayumi^?) is the first movie-exclusive human character in All Stars series, Pretty Cure All Stars New Stage: Mirai no Tomodachi. Her Pretty Cure alter ego is Cure Echo (キュアエコー, Kyua Ekoo^?).

Personality

Due to her shy personality, she does not have the courage to talk to her classmates, and is thus often alone, until she has an encounter with Fuu-chan.

History

Ayumi is a schoolgirl from Yokohama who really loves Pretty Cure, but is too shy to talk about it with her classmates. She meets Fuu-chan while walking home and they become friends, unknowingly to her that he's one of Fusion's fragments. When she found out Fuu-chan was Fusion, she blames herself for his actions. However, she later made a resolvement to let her feelings reach Fuu-chan and help the Pretty Cures. This action allowed her to become a Pretty Cure, Cure Echo. After that, She made a resolve to Fuu-chan and reached out her feelings to him, before reverting back to her civilian form, while materializing a white Cure Decor.

Cure Echo

Cure Echo is Ayumi's Pretty Cure form, which she gained from her love for Fuu-chan. In this form, her brown hair become blonde, her ponytails becomes longer and her eyes turn to yellow. Her white dress is similar to Smile and Suite Pretty Cure. The insignia on her bow is the Smile Pretty Cure symbol. She doesn't show any special attacks.

Etymology

• Sakagami Ayumi (坂上 あゆみ) - Saka (坂) means "slope/hill", gami (上) means "up", and ayumi (あゆみ) means "walking" or "progressing". Together, Ayumi's name has the meaning of "walking uphill". This could be a reference to gradually overcoming a problem, possibly Ayumi overcoming her shyness and indecision.

Trivia

• Prior to her being officially revealed, an image showing her as a Cure in black and pink, looking like an amalgam between Cure Happy and Kamen Rider Decade and named Cure Union, was believed to have been leaked, naming her Hoshizora Ikue and describing her as Miyuki's daughter from a future in which Fusion rules the world. This was proven to be fake with the first update of the New Stage website.

• Cure Echo's character designer is Akira Takahashi, who also designed the characters of Suite Pretty Cure♪.
  • The name Cure Echo also seems to fit a musical theme.
