Movie
Description
Saki Tenma possesses striking pink eyes and long blonde hair with pink tips styled in fluffy twin tails. Her bright, lyrical voice matches her cheerful demeanor. Her first-year high school outfit featured a white blouse under a cream pink sweater with a thin pink ribbon, light blue denim shorts, black shoes, and pink knee-socks. Her second-year ensemble includes a very light orange blouse with bows over a small dress with puffed sleeves, grey madras-pattern shorts, black sneakers, and white socks. For Leo/need, her unit outfit is a white blouse with a red striped tie and yellow coat, a black skirt with yellow lining, black thigh-high socks, and black heeled Mary Janes with a gold star. A later unit outfit resembles a school uniform: a collared white shirt under a grey, yellow, and black lapel jacket with a small red bow, a black skirt with yellow trim, dark grey laced boots, and black thigh-high socks featuring small white lines at the top.
Born with a constitutionally weak body, Saki spent much of middle school hospitalized, missing significant education and social development. Her older brother, Tsukasa Tenma, cared for her during this time. By high school, her health improved enough for her to return. Determined to reclaim missed youth experiences, Saki actively seeks to create cherished memories and celebrate typical adolescent milestones, sometimes overexerting herself and causing health relapses. She deeply values supporting others and channels these feelings into songwriting.
Saki is a cheerful mood-maker who strives to maintain a constant smile. She harbors a keen interest in fashion, particularly gyaru styles. Her hospitalization fostered loneliness and sadness, motivating her to prioritize time with friends and musical expression. She exhibits a strong protective instinct toward friendships and pushes her physical limits for them, like persistently practicing music to persuade her childhood friend Shiho Hinomori to rejoin their band.
Saki, Ichika Hoshino, Honami Mochizuki, and Shiho Hinomori are childhood friends whose bond frayed during middle school due to Saki's absence. Returning to school, Saki resolved to reunite them through music. As keyboardist for Leo/need, she collaborates with Ichika, Miku, and Megurine Luka in the School SEKAI to rekindle their friendship, culminating in Leo/need's formation. In her first year, she shared Class 1-C with Ichika and Haruka Kiritani; in her second year, she is in Class 2-B with Shiho and Emu Otori. She participates in the Sports Festival Executive Committee alongside Haruka and Emu.
Saki works part-time at a café with Hanasato Minori. A fan of idol Momoi Airi from watching variety shows during her hospitalization, she enthusiastically requests autographs and handshakes upon meeting Airi at school, later collaborating with her and Emu on a Valentine's Day chocolate project. She befriends Hinomori Shizuku (Shiho's sister), viewing her as an ideal older sister figure. She also develops friendships with Azusawa Kohane during a summer event and Aoyagi Toya, a childhood friend of both Tenma siblings through their parents' piano connections. Toya checks on her health during post-school gatherings and discreetly gives her arcade prizes via Tsukasa.
Her dynamic with Tsukasa involves his overprotectiveness, a response to her health history that sometimes embarrasses her but is acknowledged as well-intentioned. She admires his dedication to safeguarding her friendships. With Emu Otori, Saki bonds over shared energy and committee work, noting Emu's resemblance to Tsukasa even before learning of their troupe affiliation. She also befriends Yoisaki Kanade over tea and Akiyama Mizuki at the café, connecting through mutual intensity and attention to detail.
During the movie events, Saki is among the twenty musicians across five groups who encounter a despondent Miku unable to connect through song. She participates in collective efforts to inspire this Miku by demonstrating emotional musical expression. Later, when Miku's SEKAI collapses and threatens all SEKAIs, Saki and Leo/need contribute by creating and performing the song "SToRY" alongside other units' performances. This musical outreach reignites hope in the individuals linked to Miku's SEKAI, enabling Miku's recovery and the restoration of all SEKAIs.
