Description
Mahiru Kasumi is a main character in the Aikatsu Stars! series and appears in the film Aikatsu Stars! Hoshiboshi no Progress. She is a student at Four Star Academy, enrolled in the Moon Beauty Class, and holds a position in both the 26th and 27th generations of the elite idol group S4. As a sexy-type idol, her preferred fashion brand is Romance Kiss.
Mahiru is the younger sister of Yozora Kasumi, another prominent idol. In the past, the sisters were close, but Mahiru grew hostile and negative toward Yozora as their careers developed. She came to perceive Yozora as overly perfect and easygoing, and she felt abandoned by her, believing that her sister did not love her. This strained relationship is a central emotional conflict for Mahiru. Her core motivation stems from a desire to not be merely driven by her sister but to also push Yozora forward in return, suggesting a deep longing for equal partnership and mutual support rather than simple rivalry.
Personality-wise, Mahiru is a perfectionist who excels academically and is highly sensitive to fashion trends. She is described as having a mature, sexy charm and a strong, commanding aura that makes her seem difficult for her peers to approach. Despite this outward distance, she is capable of quick warmth; for example, she takes a liking to Koharu Nanakura after Koharu offers her cough drops. Mahiru also possesses practical skills, including karate and fashion styling, and has a natural aptitude for modelling that is comparable to that of her sister.
In the story, Mahiru serves as one of the top idols at Four Star Academy, and her journey involves navigating the pressure of living up to her sister’s reputation while forging her own identity. Her notable abilities include her academic rigor, her keen sense of style, her physical discipline from karate, and her ability to project a powerful, mature stage presence as a sexy-type performer. Her development is closely tied to resolving her feelings toward Yozora and learning to connect with others who break through her guarded exterior.
