Akanbe (Smile Pretty Cure)



Akanbes (アカンベェ Akanbe?) (known as Buffoons in Glitter Force) are the main monsters of ''[https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/Smile_Pretty_Cure! Smile Pretty Cure!]''. To summon an Akanbe, a series villian shouts out "Come out, Akanbe!". Akanbes can only emit cries of "Akanbe", "Aka" or "Beh", as well as "Super" or "Hyper" if they are of the appropriate type. Some Akanbes can speak in a more complex manner if appropriate to the situation, such as the Workbook Akanbe which would ask its questions aloud. They are voiced by voice actor Sasaki Hiroo (佐々木 啓夫?).

Akanbe literally means the action of "pulling one's eyelid down and sticking out one's tongue".
