It was announced that Cure Wing is a boy. He'll be the first male Cure in the main cast (although not the first male Cure in general if you're familiar with the series from 2018, Hugtto! Precure). 

Unfortunately MAL is not letting me post a pic, but it's Cure Wing, the orange one.


"An online conference for Hirogaru Sky! Precure (Wide Open Sky! Precure), the 20th Precure (Pretty Cure) television anime series, revealed two new cast members on Thursday.
Ayumu Murase as Cure Wing, the first male Precure, who is about 12-years-old"

Do you seriously think I'm going to start watching Precure just because they added a femboy? Well, you would be absolutely wrong right.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Ayumu-san just hops from a Tokusatsu Toei show to another Toei Show lol,

P.S:

Not to mention his mother from that show "Avataro Sentai Donbrothers" is also a Precure Alumni...

Well, that's something different for sure. I'm not sure if I have a good or bad feeling about this...

I did not see this coming, I was certain Cure Wing was a girl.  I wonder if this is an effort to get young boys to watch Precure, that or appealing to shotacons in the female audience (the doujin scene has quite a bit of it).  The fanart is going to be a ride, that's for sure.

thanks I hate it. it was obvious from the start that the design was off. it didn't look boyish like many before, it looked like a boy.
cure butterfly is the only reason I'm giving this a chance at all, none of the other designs make me think of magical girls, but I've been heavily influenced by past precure series.

Wow! Precure fans on this website suck. You guys are either gross or annoying. I'm very excited to see what awaits us with Cure Wing.

I hope it turns out well, I always commend experimenting and trying new things and the first episode was really nice. As long as their purpose with this isn't to pander to woke culture (like western media) there's no reason to assume the worst.

Precure has often had boys in the main cast, and Delicious Party even had a boy take part in the fights, so finally making a boy into a full fledged cure doesn't really seem so odd to me. We stil know very little about Wing (even his real name and civilian form is unknown) so I'm excited to see what kind of character he ends up being like.

I'm a bit mixed about this idea. While I'm not agest a boy being a part of the team, I'm just not sure how Precure will handle it. Guys in Precure aren't the worst-written characters, but it never feels like they get to contribute or be considered equal to the Cures. I always thought if Precure did this idea, it would be viewed as a joke character or something along those lines. When I first saw Wing, I was positive Wing was a girl. I see it now, but I still feel they're playing this too safe. Thou, I could easily be wrong. Will just have to wait and see.

IMO people have every right to be worried or upset.
I don't see this any different than being mad that KiraLira removed violence and fights due to complaints. By changing/removing the core of what made precure so well known (girlboss and awesome fights) will obviously bring out uneasiness. Just because they disagree doesn't mean they suck smh
while I'm actually excited for wing (and butterfly lol), the negative reactions are understandable.

that sounds great! As long as there is no forced romance between them, I'd love to see genuine friendship between male and female~

Sad that girls can never have something for themselves. In anime, the male always has to be the star and save the day. Precure was different but that was apparently not ok 

And this is anime so it's probably going to end up as the male's harem and all the girls will be his slaves  

Gj Toei IMO you have destroyed your own franchise. Fucking Idiots

It a series that is been highly praised in Japan and abroad. I think Toei will do just fine.

Diversity done right. We need more gender diversity in maho shoujo anime. Well done, Japan! But I hope it won't turn into a harem.

What is the point in adding a precure who is not a girl if he looks indistinguishable from other precures? The Hugtto character looks more like a boy despite his effeminate personality.
