Description
Megumi Yoshikawa is a member of the idol group I-1club, which serves as a rival to the main group Wake Up, Girls! Her nickname is Yoshimegu, and she is a first-generation member of I-1club, making her one of the most experienced and popular members within the group. Her close friendship with Mayu Shimada, a former I-1club member who left to join Wake Up, Girls!, is a central aspect of her character. Despite the competitive relationship between their two groups, Megumi remains a loyal friend to Mayu, keeping in touch with her through text messages and openly supporting her and her new group's performances.

In terms of appearance, Megumi is notably short, being the second shortest of the main I-1club members. She has medium-length black hair, which she often wears with a pink hair clip; in New Chapter, this clip appears to be a more purple-pink color. Her eyes are brown, and her typical training outfit consists of a light pink blouse with frilly shoulders, a burgundy skirt-like shorts, high white socks, and white trainers.

Personality-wise, Megumi is distinguished by her extremely positive attitude and her deep care for the feelings of others. She frequently acts as a peacemaker, trying to keep the mood light and apologizing on behalf of the I-1club when conflicts arise with Wake Up, Girls!, particularly with her more critical teammates like Shiho Iwasaki or Moka Suzuki. Her kindness extends to defending Mayu when other I-1club members are skeptical of her choices and trying to cheer up her fellow members when they face setbacks or blame themselves for the group's failures.

In the story of New Chapter, Megumi's role continues to focus on her supportive nature and her relationships. She participates in the filming of a drama as a supporting actor, starring alongside Mayu and Shiho. A significant development for her character occurs when she is finally appointed as the new captain of the I-1club, a role for which she is initially taken aback. Throughout the franchise, her consistent loyalty and caring demeanor make her a bridge between the rival groups, showing respect for the talents of Wake Up, Girls! while remaining a dedicated and beloved member of the I-1club. Her notable abilities are less about specific performance skills and more about her emotional intelligence and her capacity to maintain friendships and foster understanding across a rivalry.
