The PreCure franchise announces its 23rd main series, Star Detective Precure!, which promises an adventure full of mystery and time travel. Scheduled to premiere on February 1st, 2026 in Japan, the new production has already revealed its voice cast, technical team, and plot details, which are sure to captivate Brazilian fans who have been following the magical girls for years. The story follows Anna Akechi, a student who travels from 2027 to 1999, where she joins aspiring detective Mikuru Kobayashi to fight the Phantom Thieves and protect smiles with logical reasoning.
Why is this relevant? The PreCure franchise maintains a solid fan base in Brazil, thanks to the availability of previous seasons on streaming platforms. This new series, therefore, is not just another entry in the saga, but a creative evolution that introduces elements of investigation and time travel, renewing interest for both loyal viewers and newcomers. In this way, Toei Animation and its partners invest in a narrative that mixes action, friendship, and puzzles, securing its place in Japanese morning programming and, soon, in international catalogs.
Cast and Production Details
Meanwhile, fans can already get to know the voices behind the new heroines. Hikari Senga will bring the protagonist Cure Answer to life, while Kaede Hondo will portray Cure Mystic. However, the surprise comes with Nao Tōyama as Cure Arcana Shadow, a mysterious character who works with the Phantom Thieves. Furthermore, the production features experienced names like director Kōji Kawasaki and character designer Akane Yano, ensuring the visual and narrative quality the franchise is known for. The theme songs, in turn, are handled by Ami Ishii (opening) and the duo Akane Kumada and Yūka Masui (ending), promising to energize each episode.
Scheduled to air on ABC TV and TV Asahi networks, the anime is also expected to reach a global audience via services like Crunchyroll, following the model of previous seasons. Thus, Brazilian viewers will be able to follow Anna and Mikuru’s investigations shortly after the Japanese premiere, maintaining the tradition of quick access to new releases. Therefore, 2026 begins with good news for anime lovers and, especially, for the PreCure community, which gains a new adventure to fall in love with.
