OVA
Description
Represented by 765 Production, 17-year-old idol Yukiho Hagiwara originates from Tokyo’s Adachi Ward. She stands 155 cm tall, weighs 42 kg, and has physical proportions of B81-W56-H81. Born on December 24 with blood type A, her traditional Japanese household background shapes her preference for green tea.

Extremely shy and prone to tears, Yukiho pursues idolhood to overcome her timid disposition. Her lack of self-confidence manifests in a pronounced phobia of dogs—even small breeds like Chihuahuas—and difficulty interacting with males. During distress or embarrassment, she frequently expresses a desire to "dig a hole and bury herself," a recurring phrase that inspires shovel-themed merchandise and event menus in fan culture and official collaborations.

Her hobbies include writing poetry, though insecurity prevents her from sharing compositions. Aligning with her December birthday, she maintains a belief in Santa Claus. Family details are sparse, with vague references to her father holding a supervisory role, possibly in construction—ambiguity reinforced by downloadable game content featuring construction helmets.

Relationships define her narrative: Makoto Kikuchi is her closest friend, their bond strengthened by contrasting personalities. She admires Takane Shijou’s resilience as a role model despite their initial rivalry in *The Idolmaster SP*. Idols like Haruka Amami and Azusa Miura often provide emotional support during her anxious moments.

Recurring extraterrestrial themes mark her quirks. UFO imagery appears in her communication scenes in *The Idolmaster* (Xbox 360), and she features prominently in alien-themed events like *Million Live! Theater Days*’ "Pikopiko IIKO! Invader." Official media such as *The Idolmaster Gravure For You!* Volume 3 include subtle UFO easter eggs in her visuals.

Her design shows minor variations, like brighter orange hair in *The Idolmaster SP*, but remains consistent overall. She frequently wears attire with snowflake patterns or baby blue accents, reflecting her winter association and name’s meaning ("snow" and "step").
