Cure Sweet
Cure Sweet (キュアスウィート Kyua Suu~īto) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Kaori. She controls the power of light and transforms with the phrase "Pretty Cure, Shine Up!". Her main attack is Sweet Burst.

Attacks

 * Sweet Burst (スウィートバースト Suu~īto Bāsuto) is Cure Sweet's main attack. It is first used in Episode 3.

Dark Lemonade
Dark Lemonade is the past self of Kaori and the legendary warrior Cure Lemonade's dark counterpart. She is Urara's past self when she thought more about making herself happy than others. She can use sonic waves by singing, but when Cure Lemonade tells her that songs should be used to make people happy, she is killed with Lemonade Shining. When fighting Cure Lemonade, her dimension is an area where there are various statues and pillars.

Etymology
Kasugano (春日野): Kasu (春) translates to "spring" and ga (日) translates to "sun" or "day". Together, as "spring day", they most likely refer to Cure Sweet's light-based powers and the common association of light and spring days, as well as the light given off by the sun. No (野) translates to "plain" or "field", and is a common component in Japanese surnames.

Kaori (かおり): Kaori (かおり) means "fragrance".

Cure Sweet means having the pleasant taste characteristic of sugar or honey; not salt, sour, or bitter.

Songs
Kaori's voice actress, Kugimiya Rie, has participated in several image songs for the character she voices. Many of them include duets with Nishimura Chinami, who voices Yumehara Kibo, Nagasawa Miki, who voices Natsuki Jounetsu, Minaguchi Yuko, who voices Akimoto Hiromi, and Kiuchi Reiko, who voices Minazuki Kelly.

Trivia

 * Kaori is the reincarnation of Dark Lemonade.
 * She is almost the polar opposite of Kasugano Urara/Cure Lemonade.
 * Kibo's birthday is on March 17. This makes her a Pisces.
 * The group song that Kaori's voice actress sings with the other Cures' teammates, Cloud Nine, may be a pun because the Cures had died in their past selves, and were reincarnated.
 * Kaori's life is contained within her Crystal Brooch, which is one of the Crystals of the Mirror Kingdom.
