Description
Chihiro Senkawa is the dedicated secretary to the Producer at 346 Production, serving as a primary support figure within the game and its related media. At 25 years old, she stands 154 centimeters tall, making her the shortest secretary in the franchise, with light brown hair, bright red eyes, and blood type A. Her professional role centers on managing the agency's administrative duties, including paperwork, phone calls, and general office operations, while also providing essential career guidance and tutorial explanations to new idols. This positions her as the navigator who explains gameplay mechanics and mission objectives to the player, functioning as the initial point of contact for understanding the idol industry's protocols.
Her personality is consistently upbeat, positive, and professionally excitable. She maintains a cheerful demeanor and shows unwavering loyalty to the Producer, offering encouragement during setbacks and providing consolation, such as on Valentine's Day when the Producer might receive no gifts. When the Producer is absent, she capably assumes authority over office operations and commands respect from the idols in that role. Beyond her administrative duties, her hobbies include cosplaying and partying, and she keeps a collection of costumes, including swimsuits and kimonos, in the office, referring to them as personal belongings. Her standard office uniform, which resembles a school outfit with a fluorescent green blazer, has sparked fan speculation that it may be an extension of her cosplay interests.
Within the story, Chihiro serves a crucial function as the Producer's right hand and the glue that holds the office together. She organizes office activities and is sometimes credited with publishing the rumors that appear in loading screens, suggesting a behind-the-scenes role in managing the idols' public awareness. Her key relationships are primarily with the Producer, characterized by subtle camaraderie and professional concern. She maintains a balanced perspective, hinting at worry if the Producer receives too much attention from the idols while also offering a listening ear when he is overlooked. In fan discussions, she is occasionally paired with Mishiro despite no canonical interactions between them. Within the broader franchise, she shares her birthday, November 28th, with characters Sora Nonomura and Sora Kitamura, a date that also marks the release of the original Cinderella Girls game.
Regarding character development, Chihiro is notable for accessing unexpected potential during special events. Although she remains a non-playable character not eligible for in-game voting, an April Fools' Day event featured her with a dedicated 3D model performing the song "Onegai! Cinderella," revealing a hidden capacity for idol performance. Other game appearances, such as in STARLIT SEASON, see her supporting Project LUMINOUS and leading monthly office meetings, where the character Ranko Kanzaki has nicknamed her "The Green Empress". Fan culture has developed its own interpretations of her, sometimes portraying her helpful nature as a humorous facade hiding a shrewd or greedy personality, leading to the respectful nickname "Chihiro-sama" and debates over whether she embodies angelic or devilish traits. Her abilities include not only professional administrative management and cosplay but also a playful physical dexterity demonstrated in a minigame where the Producer attempts to hit her with a water gun and she must expertly dodge the shots.
