Bittomo × Heroine Kirameki Powers! (ビッ友x戦士 キラメキパワーズ!, Bittomo Senshi Kirameki Pawāzu!) is a Japanese tokusatsu TV drama series that began airing on July 11, 2021. It is the fifth and final installment for the Girls × Heroine Series produced by Takara Tomy and OLM, Inc. (with the assistance of Shogakukan and EXPG Studio).[1]

The series stars Tsubaki Nagayama and Hiiro Fukasawa. Additional cast members include Kurea Masuda, Ukyo Matsumoto and Nonoka Yamaguchi. The series is also narrated by Atsuko Maeda. The plot centers around the Kirameki Powers, a duo who protect the world from the Makkura Empire, with the help of the Kirapawa Kingdom.[2] The series celebrates the franchise's fifth anniversary.

The show launched a brief idol career for the main cast members. It was the first Girls × Heroine Series installment to be shown in Okinawa via Ryukyu Broadcasting Corporation since July 25, 2021.

On August 22, during Ciao Fest, Yuwa Higa and Kanna Sato were confirmed as the two new heroines.[3]

From episode 39 until the series finale, the episode length was reduced from 30 to 15 minutes.

Following the show's end in 2022, it was succeeded by RizSta -Top of Artists!-.

5th grade elementary school student, Kirari Momose, encounters a fairy who jumps out of a game console. The fairy, Himenyan, is actually the Princess of the Kirapawa Kingdom, a kingdom that is located inside popular sword and magic game "Kirapawa Morimori Adventure". The Princess, who was afraid of the enemy, ran away but was chased by those from the Makkura Empire. Becoming friends with Kirari, Kirari transforms into the "Heroine of the Sun, Kirapawa Sunny" where she fights the Makkura Empire. Joining with Yuzuki Shimori, Honoka Akashiro and Koyuki Aoba along the way, the four collect the Kirapawa Memories in order to win against the Witch of Darkness, Makkulala.
