Movie
Description
Yuriko Nanao is a 15-year-old girl standing 154 cm tall and weighing 41 kg, with physical measurements of 78-56-80 cm. She has navy blue hair, usually worn down and accented by a loose braid resembling a headband across the top, and olive-colored eyes. Her typical casual outfit consists of a white button-up shirt beneath a pink-and-blue checkered cardigan, paired with a grey pleated skirt.
Deeply book-centric, Yuriko reads voraciously across genres like fantasy and mystery, favoring authors such as Ray Bradbury, Osamu Dazai, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Edgar Allan Poe. This passion fuels frequent daydreams about fantastical scenarios, earning her the "chuunibyou" label from friends. While initially shy around strangers, she becomes energetically talkative when discussing books or topics sparking her imagination. Her enthusiasm famously led to a 100-page book review for homework, exceeding the book's length and securing her the nickname "Wild Express Train of the Library."
Beyond reading, she enjoys pen spinning, eating ohagi (sweet rice dumplings), and gaming. She plays MMORPGs under the alias "lillyknight," adopting a support role while partnering with fellow idol Anna Mochizuki, who handles tanking or damage-dealing duties.
As an idol, Yuriko pursues the goal to "remain in someone’s heart like a book read for a hundred years." Despite struggling with dancing, she perseveres through rigorous self-guided practice to avoid burdening her unit, demonstrated during the Otome Storm event. She also expresses interest in acting, though she lacks stage experience. Her development includes forming a strong attachment to the Producer, eventually unconsciously substituting him as the protagonist in every book she reads.
She appears in a supporting capacity in the movie *Kagayaki no Mukōgawa e!* and participates in the manga *THE iDOLM@STER Million Live!: Back Stage*, *Blooming Clover*, and *Brand New Song*. Her broader background includes membership in the "39 Project" during *Theater Days* events and classification as a "Princess"-type idol.
