Itose is a mysterious girl who appears to be rather strange at times. She often stares at a person without actually moving her head. The only thing moving are her eyes which make her "strange" in the eyes of the other students. When one does catch her watching you, she tends to smirk, smile or wink back at you.

Living with 4 older brothers and a widowed father, she tends to catch on to their mannerisms appearing to be more boy like. Described by Hiroshi as having all traits of the Pixhites, Itose has a loving personality despite her strange remarks and nonchalant ways.

Itose is the only daughter to a widowed father and 4 older brothers. Being the only female in a predominantly male household, she tends to clean up after them but never complains.

Itose proved to be quite dull at sports which proves to be difficult when it comes to becoming a Pretty Cure since she tends to lag behind however she is persistent and never gives up allowing herself to be as good as others.

 * Kanae Koujiki - She wished to be different and to do so, she wanted to become a Pretty Cure. Itose told her that she "looked like a yellow" which encouraged Kanae. Kanae and Ryoka often find differences with each other but Itose found that despite Kanae's small blunders, she can still learn.

One day, Itose is walking on the streets by herself and encounters a fan on the floor. She decides to pick it up and clean it when she got home thinking it was such a waste to be thrown on the ground. She wakes up that night when it begins to glow, transforming itself into a paintbrush. She watches it paint a picture onto her table, creating the figure of Bow.

After doing so, the brush returns back into its fan state and instantly fanning the painting to transform Bow into reality.

Bow seeks help from her because he needs to find a magical object and she doesn’t want to. Suddenly the TriTriplets arrives at her house and takes Bow, hesitating, she runs after him.

She owns a necklace in the shape of a prism heart, gifted to her by her mother. With the necklace came a letter that said “with your light and this prism, contains a promise that will help you when you need it” which she never understood until that moment. Bow realises why she was hesitant to help and creates a light which reflected from the prism onto the fan she was holding creating a rainbow.

The fan began to shine and her transformation item appeared.

After that battle, Bow asks if she is scared of the dark and asks how she moved through it. She replied that she thought the heart necklace was her mother’s promised is that would keep her safe. She realised it was the light on her heart that reflected the rainbow of promises.
