Kibouno Etsuko

Kibouno Estuko is one of the main Cures of Wolf Precure. Etsuko is a sporty 14 year old girl who is in her 2nd year of middle school and has a bright, uninhibited personality with a lot of energy. She is a famous dancer known as Genki (元気 Genki). Her catchphrase is I'm at 100% (あたしは百パーセントだよ！Atashi wa hyaku pāsento da yo!).

Her alter ego is Cure Howl (キュアハウル Kyua Hauru), the Pretty Cure of fire and sound.

Before Series
When Etsuko was a child, she was not like most girls; she used to refer to herself by the masculine pronoun of boku. She hated wearing dresses, skirts, makeup, and most other girly things; the only things she liked were accessories and cute things, especially stuffed animals. She preferred to play with boys and other tomboyish girls like herself; Estuko loved soccer the most out of any other sport. Her neighborhood was made up of mostly senior citizens and young children with some middle-aged adults, some young adults, and only a handful of kids her age. Because of this, she is often relied on and trusted the most; she developed into a natural leader. When her little brother Katsurou and little sister Hanae were born, she began to spend more of her time caring for them.

Wolf Precure
Etsuko was practicing soccer before going to school when she saw a group of 3 little kids bullying a baby wolf with something around its neck. She saved it by telling the kids to leave it alone. The kids saw that she was serious and apologized to the baby wolf before running away. The baby wolf thanked her and revealed that he was actually a Little Wolf from the Woodland Kingdom and his name was Kouki. He told her that she is a Pretty Cure and gave her the Cure Amulet that he had been wearing. She thought that he was joking, but he insisted that he was being serious; she then believed him. Then she quickly ran off to school before the late bell. After she left school, Kouki walked beside her and the two began talking about her day at school as she carried him. The two then heard screams from two of the three kids that Etsuko dealt with earlier. The second boy said that their friend--the first boy--was unconscious and a strange, scary-looking girl who looked like a boy was there. Then the girl said that there was a big, scary monster. Kouki explained to the confused Estuko that the monster was called a "Kaeshitena" and it needed to be purified. She nodded and declared that she would save the boy and protect the other kids. She then used the Cure Amulet to transform into Cure Howl and managed to defeat the monster and drive off the strange girl named Ankoku.
