TV Special
Description
Riina Tada is an aspiring idol from Tokyo, originating in THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. Her age varies between 13 and 17 across sources, born June 30 (Cancer). She stands 152 cm tall with beige hair, aquamarine eyes, blood type A, and measurements of 80-55-81 cm. Classified as a Cool-type idol, her theme color is royal blue.
Her defining passion is rock music, driving her dream to become a rockstar despite initial gaps in genre knowledge, which led some fans to perceive her as inexperienced. She demonstrates fierce commitment to her idol career and rock aspirations. Riina exhibits deep respect for elders, notably progressing from formal address to genuine regard for the Producer after recognizing his guidance.
Character development unfolds through key interactions. In the 2015 anime, she forms the unit * (Asterisk) with Miku Maekawa—their initial friction evolves into mutual understanding, highlighted when Riina unknowingly offers fried fish to Miku, who cannot eat it due to her cat persona. Riina idolizes rock-focused idol Natsuki Kimura, progressing from distant admiration to a mentorship that births their joint unit Rock the Beat. Her journey includes reconciling her rock identity with broader self-acceptance, captured in her quote: "Rock isn’t all I am. I oversleep, I cry, I have dreams. Accepting myself for who I am, I move forward one step at a time."
She participates in multiple units: Masque:Rade (with Mayu Sakuma, Karen Hojo, Miho Kohinata, Chieri Ogata), sharing particular closeness with Mayu; Rapiéçage (Mirei Hayasaka, Yuko Hori, Akira Sunazuka, Asuka Ninomiya); Ao no Gakudan ~Azul Música~ (Rin Shibuya, Ranko Kanzaki, Kaede Takagaki, Minami Nitta); and prologue notes (Izumi Ohishi, Yuuki Otokura, Yukari Mizumoto, Nao Kamiya). Additional friendships include Ryo Matsunaga, Yuka Nakano, and Million Live! collaborators Shizuka Mogami and Julia.
Trivia notes her Tokyo origin—shared with idols like Rin Shibuya—and her hobby of listening to music.
