Mirei Minami, a 14-year-old Paprika Private Academy student, rigorously upholds school regulations as head of the disciplinary committee, issuing warnings for infractions ranging from hallway sprinting to misconduct. Her civilian guise features light brown hair swept into a high ponytail with straight bangs, glasses framing caramel-brown eyes. In PriPara, this transforms: lemon-yellow hair coils into conical buns, eyes shift to vivid blue, and glasses vanish, replaced by a radiant idol aesthetic.
Merging analytical precision with competitive drive, she vocalizes her methodical nature through catchphrases—“Keisandouri” when plans align, “Keisangai” when they falter. As an idol, she adopts peppiness, sprinkling sentences with “~pri” and rallying crowds with “Pop, Step, Get You!” Playfulness surfaces in PriPara, though deviations from her strategies trigger bossiness. Early exploits reveal cunning tactics, such as “losing” her PriTicket bag to engineer a partnership with spontaneous Laala Manaka.
Within the idol unit SoLaMi♡SMILE, she counterbalances Laala’s impulsivity and collaborates with Sophy Hojo. A rivalry with Sion Todo of Dressing Pafé ignites through schoolyard rule clashes and stage showdowns. At home, parental pressures loom—her attorney mother and prosecutor father each steer her toward their careers, prompting her pragmatic mediation of their disputes.
Growth unfolds as she embraces collaborative creativity, softening her initial resistance to improvisation. She brokers peace between her disciplinary role and idol passion, lobbying school authorities to recognize PriPara’s merits. Career milestones include ascending to Debut Class, competing in the Sparkling Grand Prix, and debuting confectionery-themed coords like the Candy Alamode Cyalume Coord.
Notable trivia: October 1st birthday, Libra, melon bread enthusiast, admiration for designer Cosmo Hojo. Thematic ties link her to Pretty Rhythm’s Ann Fukuhara—shared voice actors, confectionery motifs, pop-idol narratives. Her dual identity—school enforcer versus effervescent idol—mirrors a design evolution symbolizing liberated self-expression.
