Description
Anzu Futaba is a 17-year-old female idol from Hokkaido, standing 139 cm tall with blonde hair and dark brown eyes (blood type B). Draped in perpetual lethargy, she staunchly identifies as a NEET, openly declaring an anti-work philosophy. Her primary passions are sleeping, playing video games, watching anime, reading manga, and consuming junk food. She constantly carries a worn stuffed rabbit named "bunny." Anzu's core motivation for becoming an idol is the belief that royalty earnings could fund a permanent work-free existence, sustaining her preferred lifestyle indefinitely, a sentiment echoed in her image song advocating universal laziness and an end to labor.
She frequently voices her desire to escape responsibility with phrases like "I wanna go home!" and wears clothing emblazoned with slogans such as "If you work, you lose." To evade work, she employs various tactics: outright refusal, deception, negotiation appealing to others' laziness, emotional manipulation, or physically hiding within the workplace. She minimizes effort during live concerts by prerecording vocal segments, dubbing this her "Substitution Strategy." Her commitment to avoiding work extends to actively disrupting other idols' rehearsals if it grants her undisturbed anime time. Despite this ingrained resistance, she responds to specific incentives like candy bribes or promises of royalty payments, securing temporary cooperation.
Anzu envisions an ideal society where everyone enjoys unlimited gaming, anime, manga, junk food, and sleep without occupational demands. While fundamentally lazy, incidents hint at potential nuance, like a staged graduation announcement where she used eyedrops to produce fake tears, suggesting possible emotional investment in her idol role despite her stated aversion to effort. She continued participating in idol activities afterward.
She maintains significant relationships within the industry. Her closest bond is with Kirari Moroboshi, forming the unit "Anzu-chan and Kirarin's HappyHappyTwin" (also called Ankira or HappyHappyTwin). Though Anzu is lethargic and Kirari energetic, they share the same age and a genuine friendship. Anzu also collaborates in units CANDY ISLAND (with Kanako Mimura and Chieri Ogata), C5 (with Uzuki Shimamura, Miku Maekawa, Nana Abe, and Miho Kohinata), LittlePOPS (with Rika Jougasaki, Mirei Hayasaka, Asuka Ninomiya, and Koume Shirasaka), and La-La Lil (with Kozue Yusa). Her petite stature and youthful appearance often lead to her being mistaken for an elementary school student, a trait she reportedly views as advantageous for avoiding the "wasted energy" of physical growth.
