Sakagami: Saka means "slope/hill", Gami means "up" Ayumi: Ayumi means "walking" or "progressing". Together, Ayumi's name has the meaning of "walking uphill".

However, she later resolves to let her true feelings reach Fuu-chan so she can help the Pretty Cures. This action allowed her to become a Pretty Cure, Cure Echo. After that, she made amends with Fuu-chan before reverting back to her civilian form, while materializing a white Cure Decor.

Prior to her being officially revealed, an image showing her as a Cure in black and pink, looking like an amalgam between Cure Happy and Kamen Rider Decade and named Cure Union, was believed to have been leaked, naming her Hoshizora Ikue and describing her as Miyuki's daughter from a future in which Fusion rules the world. This was proven to be fake with the first update of the New Stage website.

Cure Echo's character designer is Takahashi Akira, who also designed the characters of Suite Pretty Cure♪.

She is seen smiling on her finishing pose as opposed to her serious appearance from New Stage 1. Cure Echo is referred to as an illusory Pretty Cure before having a fairy partner in New Stage 3.
