Becoming Cure Moonbeam
Fujimura Aika, Masami's best friend, was having a headache, and Masami herself came along and tried to help her. However, Aika was already late for her club, and ran away to it. Later, Masami was walking with Aika to their home, where Kujou Hikari was waiting for them. As the girls started training, they were both sucked into another world, where Masami was separated from Aika. When she finally landed, Masami saw two female figures having a picnic together. The smaller girl seemed to be showing off her skills, and the bigger girl seemed to be watching her intently. Just then, the bigger girl got a call from someone, and saw a man, who had just arrived. The bigger girl got up and the man took her place. Masami thought that the smaller girl would have been in danger because of this man, but apparently, the smaller girl knew this man, and look delighted. Just then, a creature came along and turned into a commune. The bigger girl grabbed the commune and changed forms. With a shock, Masami realised that she was seeing the past. The bigger girl ran away, leaving the smaller girl with the man. Just then, the creature whom Masami had just seen came along, and said her name was Mipple. Mipple changed into a commune, except it was a different commune, and masami was taken into another world, where she found Hikari with two other creatures. The creatures introduced themselves as Pollun and Lulun, who were fairies from the Garden of Light. Mipple said that the bigger girl she had seen was actually her mother, Yukishiro Honoka, and her best friend, Aika's mother, Misumi Nagisa, before they went missing. Just then, Aika arrived with another fairy, and the fairies repeated the introduction to Aika. Mepple and Mipple had separated from Nagisa and Honoka and were sent to the Garden of Rainbows to find Shiny Luminous, who in this case, was Hikari herself. Hikari backed the fairies up by transforming with Pollun into Shiny Luminous. Luminous then gave Aika and Masami a mission: to track down their mothers and free them from the Dark Zone. As soon as they agreed, Mepple and Mipple changed into communes, into the Jewel Communes. Just then, Aika and Masami transformed together, into the Pretty Cures of the Sun and Moon, Cure Sunburst and Cure Moonbeam!

Etymology
Tanaka (田中): Ta (田) is a word that means "rice field" while Naka (那珂) means "in". This name means "(dweller in the) middle of rice fields.".

Masami (正美): Masa (マサ) is a word that means "elegant" while Mi (ミ) means "beauty".

Therefore, Tanaka Masami means "elegant beauty in the middle of rice fields". The first name could be a pun because Masami is shown to an 'elegant beauty'.
