Akiho Minori (秋穂 みのり), one year younger than the protagonist, attends the same high school. Her surname combines "autumn" (秋) and "grain" (穂); her given name, typically written in hiragana (みのり), carries the possible meaning of "abundant" in kanji (穣). She stands 152 cm tall with measurements of 78-56-80 cm and her birthday is April 16.

She shares a longstanding friendship with Yumi Saotome dating back to their entrance examinations. Influenced by her friend Tooru Sawatari, she joined the school's soccer club as a manager. As a first-year manager, she works alongside senior manager Saki Nijino and later assists alongside Tomomi. Minori holds significant admiration for Saki, viewing her with deep respect, which contributes to her initial resistance towards the protagonist forming a close relationship with Saki.

Her hobbies include cooking and knitting, reflecting her domestic interests. She demonstrates dedication to her managerial duties, actively supporting the team's activities. Her role involves assisting the protagonist during training sessions, particularly when he strives to improve after failing to secure a starting position. She is observed helping him practice in front of his house at night.

Her relationship with Tooru Sawatari progresses, culminating in *Tabidachi no Uta* where Tooru confesses his feelings to her, marking a significant personal milestone.

She appears as a supporting character across multiple installments of the Tokimeki Memorial Drama Series: *Nijiiro no Seishun*, *Irodori no Love Song*, and *Tabidachi no Uta*. Her role consistently ties her to the soccer club environment and its associated characters.
