Description
Kaede Takagaki, a 25-year-old idol from Wakayama Prefecture, stands 171 cm tall and weighs 49 kg, born on June 14 with blood type AB. Her appearance is marked by heterochromia—a green right eye and a blue left eye—alongside a distinctive beauty mark beneath her left eye, and measurements of 81-57-83.

She presents a mature, observant, and predominantly quiet personality, speaking sparingly. However, she harbors an enthusiastic fondness for homophones and puns, capable of elaborating on them at length if uninterrupted. Her leisure time often involves relaxing visits to hot springs. Alcohol consumption triggers a drastic shift, eroding her common sense and revealing a devious, manipulative side that disregards moderation, encourages underage drinking, and demands high-quality beverages like wine.

Professionally, Kaede is a Cool-type idol within 346 Production's CINDERELLA PROJECT, associated with a mostly desaturated dark green image color. Her soft-spoken speaking voice contrasts sharply with her powerful, resonant singing voice, a key factor in her standout performances. Her solo image song is "Koi Kaze" on the album "THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA MASTER 004 Takagaki Kaede." Other solo tracks include "Nation Blue (Solo Version)" and "Susume☆Otome ~Jewel Parade~ (Solo Version)," plus a cover of "Yuki no Hana." She also contributes to group songs like "Absolute NIne," "Tsubomi," "Nation Blue," "Susume☆Otome ~Jewel Parade~," "Kagayaku Sekai no Mahou," and "We're the friends!".

Within 346 Production, Kaede ranks among the agency's top idols. Her strategic importance was underscored when Executive Director Mishiro singled her out for a private meeting during restructuring. She consistently achieves high placements in the annual Cinderella Girls elections and features on every election-based album, reflecting sustained popularity. Fans often perceive her as the "last boss" of Cinderella Girls, citing her exceptional talent, popularity, and signature orchestral-style music.
