Buttercup

Buttercup is the toughest fighter of the clan. She hates wearing skirts and dresses, and when she isn't saving the day, she wears pants or shorts. Her jacket is yellow, with green sleeves.

Her hair is  black and short, and not very tidy. She has big green eyes, and her skin is paler than Bubbles Blossom's skin. She doesn't do girly things like her friends do, and loves sports. She wants to be a proffesional wrestler like her father. Her weapon is a large  hammer, which she is very skilled with. She doesn't plan she just attacks.

Kaoru Matsubara (松原かおる Matsubara Kaoru?)/Powered Buttercup (パワード・バターカップ Pawādo Batākappu?) (just Buttercup in the English dub) Seiyū: Machiko Kawana - English Dub Voice: Kelly Metzger. Kaoru is the third and final member of the Powerpuff Girls Z team. She transforms using the phrase "Powered Buttercup" and uses a Daruma Otoshi hammer. She hates skirts and other girly things, which is the reason why she was reluctant to join the group. In fact, she even hates girls who are too girly. Designed as an homage to Ranma 1/2's tomboy Akane Tendo[citation needed] and like the original Buttercup, Kaoru is a tomboy and is the most easily enraged of the three. Famous for being the most athletic girl in school, Kaoru enjoys all kinds of sports and spends a great deal of time watching sports on television. She is especially good at soccer. She speaks with a hard and masculine edge and rarely uses honorifics when speaking. Her greatest fear is ghosts. Kaoru lives with her father, who is a professional masked-wrestler, mother and two brothers, one older and one younger. She is represented by stars. She dreams of being a professional wrestler like her dad in the future. Unlike the other girls, her jacket is yellow rather then her trademark colour (green).
