The official Twitter for the TV anime Kiratto Pri☆Chan has announced two new characters will join its story soon - Yui and Yui's mascot. Yui is obviously inspired by Yui Yumekawa, the protagonist of the Pretty series' previous installment Idol Time PriPara (2017-2018). But according to the tweet, this Yui is going to have a different last name than Yumekawa in the Pri☆Chan story.
Kiratto Pri☆Chan has already had two characters based on the protagonists of the previous Pretty series - Aira Nanahoshi who is inspired by Aira Harune in Pretty Rhythm: Aurora Dream (2011-2012) and Naru Shiawase who is inspired by Naru Ayase in Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live (2013-2014). So Yui's appearance is not surprise for the fans of Pretty series, but it is a very happy one.
With the addition of Yui, what fans expect most right now is, of course, the appearance of Laala Manaka, the protagonist of PriPara (2014-2017) and the most iconic character in the whole Pretty series. Will it ever happen in the Pri☆Chan story? Wait and see.
Meanwhile, the unnamed character who is introduced only as "Yui's mascot" looks just like Kuma, the mascot manager on SoLaMi Smile in PriPara. In the story of Idol Time PiPara, however, Yui Yumekawa had her own manager named Punicorn. How is their relationship set up in the Pri☆Chan story?
