Movie
Description
Ai Mikaze is an android idol created by order of Shining Saotome. His name, meaning "love" in Japanese, holds ironic weight as his artificial nature initially limited his comprehension of the concept. Cyan eyes and cyan-blue, shoulder-length hair frame his face, typically styled with one side pulled up in a ponytail. His common attire features white trousers, a white shirt, a beige vest, and a white jacket, though he also wears multicolored hoodies or casual outfits like baggy brown trousers paired with a black shirt and blue jacket. Lilac is his designated theme color.

Explicitly stating he lacks emotions, Ai approaches human interactions with analytical detachment, constantly observing and documenting behaviors to study feelings. Despite this, he gradually forms bonds. He maintains a consistently calm demeanor and has never lost his temper. Professionally, he is highly apt, hardworking, and demands similar dedication from others. Within his idol unit QUARTET NIGHT, he acts as a mediator during conflicts, particularly between Camus and Ranmaru Kurosaki.

As a senior at Saotome Academy, Ai mentors junior idols Syo Kurusu and Natsuki Shinomiya. His stringent teaching philosophy is "If they have potential, raise them. If they don’t, drop them," an approach that caused previous trainees to quit within a month. He addresses everyone by their first names.

Ai debuted as an idol at age 13 following intensive training starting at age 11, where he took numerous lessons without sleep. By age 14, he was a professional arranger and composer. At age 10, he went missing after being trapped in an elevator. He views Shining Agency as a "collection of dreams" but initially became an idol solely because it was expected, lacking personal aspirations.

Notable quirks include overheating when overanalyzing love, an obsession with meticulous daily documentation to discover new insights, and a passion for online gaming—often exchanging information with bandmate Ren. He dislikes physical books, preferring digital formats. In relationships, he seeks someone "full of emotion" with "nice skin" and prefers to be confessed to rather than initiate.

His development reveals subtle emotional growth through increasing investment in interpersonal connections and group dynamics within QUARTET NIGHT. He participates in performances and events like the concert film *Maji Love Kingdom*. Ai considers himself "incomplete" and inexperienced, viewing his existence as that of a child who absorbs information quickly but requires time for deep understanding.

Physically, he stands 178 cm (5'10") tall. His zodiac sign is Pisces, with a birthday listed as either March 1 or March 11. His instrument of choice is the synthesizer.
