Tsuyoshi Inukai

Tsuyoshi Inukai has a big, muscular build, which makes him look like a guard dog.

He wears cute things, like a frilly white apron when cooking or even pink pajamas with a nightcap.

This appearance surprises people because it does not match his strong body.

Tsuyoshi is gentle, caring, and great with both animals and people.

He is good at housework and enjoys cooking a lot.

He uses his special Smile Voice to make pets feel happy and safe.

Even though he looks tough, he is actually very sensitive and gets nervous or emotional over family matters.

Tsuyoshi always dreamed of becoming a pet groomer.

At first, he almost gave up because his deep voice scared dogs, and they would not come near him.

With advice and encouragement from his wife, he changed his voice to be softer and higher, which finally helped him reach his dream.

Now he works together with Youko Inukai at the Friendly Animal Hospital & Salon.

Tsuyoshi is an expert pet groomer and trimmer.

His animal care technique, called "Animal Smile," makes even sensitive or difficult animals feel comfortable.

He is very good at cooking, especially dumplings, and can make many kinds, such as vegetable, curry, or okara dumplings.

He also handles household chores with skill.

Tsuyoshi is married to Youko Inukai, who helps and supports him in both work and family life.

He is the father of Iroha Inukai (Cure Friendly).

When he finds out his daughter is dating Satoru, he is a bit shocked but soon accepts it, feeling both proud and a little lonely.

The voice actor for Tsuyoshi, Mr. Shirokuma, previously voiced an enemy leader three years ago in another Precure series, Tropical-Rouge! Precure.

It is rare for actors who played villains in Precure to later play the hero's father, but this has happened a few times in previous series.

Tsuyoshi's "Animal Smile" service shown in episode 33 reminded many fans of the transformation scene in Doki Doki! Precure. The creators confirmed this similarity on social media as a fun Easter egg and to celebrate the upcoming novel for Doki Doki! Precure.

Tsuyoshi sometimes makes funny mistakes when he is shocked, like calling "trimming" as "tomiring" after hearing big family news.

The Dream of Becoming a Groomer

Tsuyoshi always wanted to be a pet groomer.

He almost gave up because his deep voice made dogs scared of him.

Overcoming with "Smile Voice"

Thanks to advice from his wife, Youko, he learned to use a softer, higher voice that made animals happy and relaxed.

With this change, he finally became the successful groomer he always dreamed of being.

Family and Business

Together with Youko, he runs the Friendly Animal Hospital & Salon.

He handles even difficult pets like Yuki Nekoyashiki and impresses everyone with his gentle approach.

Iroha's First Love

When he hears that his daughter, Iroha, and Satoru have become a couple after their first date, he is shocked and accidentally says the wrong words at work.

But after thinking about it, he decides that Satoru is a good boy and the perfect match for Iroha, even though he feels a little sad that his little girl is growing up.
