Premise
Decades ago, a group of kunoichi fought against the Yoma Clan, a band of demons that could temper the darkness in human hearts, turning them into horrible monsters known as Kagemaru. After a fierce battle, the group was able to defeat the Yoma leader Yumihoshi and sealed her power into 13 Shinobi Stars that were scattered across the world.

Years later at present, there lived a girl named Ran Hattori who loved the concept of ninja and often trained at her grandmother Kaede’s dojo. One day she was suddenly run into by a strange talking weasel that took off in a hurry. Following it through a hidden door inside the dojo, Ran encountered her grandmother and learned that she was the descendant of the Shinobi Stars Precure that once fought to save the world years ago.

Over the years, the seal on the Yoma began to weaken and they escaped, now determined to recover their Empress’ power and subjugate humanity. With that, Ran and her friends must inherit the legacy of those lost warriors and defend the world once again.

Pretty Cure
A lively girl who is proud of her legacy as the descendant of Hattori Hanzo, and who regularly trains at her grandmother's dojo. She has a bad habit of speaking her mind without really thinking and can often be mistaken for a boy much to her dismay. As Cure Sakura, she draws on the power of flowers and light. Her catchphrase is "Wild!" (Yasei!). An intelligent girl Ran met at school who loves drawing and being by the water. Her father is a marine biologist and she sometimes helps with his research. As Cure Ocean, she draws on the power of water. The star of the Starry Sky Academy soccer team and has a highly competitive nature. Outside the field however she loves to dance and spend time with her little brother Toma. As Cure Terra, she draws power from the land itself and can create earthquakes with her powerful fists and feet. The daughter of a metalworking family who loves working on various types of projects, however she can be a bit stubborn and hard to reason with when she really has her mind set on something. She is also the one who helped Kaede update the Kokoro Changers as well as create many of their gear. As Cure Steel, Naru gains the power to bend metal to her will as well as generate a magnetic force. A fun loving girl who loves fireworks and festivals. Her family owns a shrine that she sometimes works as a preistess at. Secretly, she is a big fan of the Sailor Moon manga, whom her grandfather dismisses as mindless entertainment.

She loves having fun and is both confused and delighted by the modern world but can sometimes get overexcited and run off on her own.
