Movie
Description
Iori Minase is a 15-year-old idol working under 765 Production. Hailing from a wealthy family as the daughter of a corporate CEO, who is acquainted with the president of her agency, she lives with both parents and has two older brothers—one serving as president of a consulting company in Europe, the other an exchange student in America. Her father is known to be strict and intimidating.
She wears her long brown hair pulled back from her forehead with a pink headband and bow, though she sometimes lets her bangs fall free. Her typical outfit consists of a pink sleeveless shirt adorned with ribbons, a white skirt featuring pink vertical stripes and strawberry motifs, and brown cowgirl-style shoes. She is rarely seen without a stuffed bunny toy, which she lovingly called Usa-chan as a child, though she has also referred to it as Sebastian or Charles Donatello the 18th.
Iori displays a tsundere personality, appearing polite and refined around strangers and fans, but revealing a sharp tongue, short temper, and quick judgments toward her fellow idols and the Producer. This contrast has led to her nickname, "The little-devil idol." Beneath this critical exterior lies a softer side, which she seldom shows out of embarrassment. She strongly dislikes losing, a trait honed from competing with her older brothers.
Her drive to become an idol stems from a desire to prove her independence and achieve success on her own terms, especially toward her skeptical father and brothers, who initially dismissed her ambitions as a passing phase. Fluent in Japanese, English, Chinese, French, German, and Spanish, she enjoys traveling, dining out, and shopping. She also takes pleasure in telling ghost stories to frighten others, particularly those who scare easily.
Iori maintains a rude and competitive dynamic with Miki Hoshii, addressing her with the informal "anta" and receiving teasing about her forehead in return. In contrast, she shares a genuinely warm and kind friendship with Yayoi Takatsuki. She holds particular respect for Ritsuko Akizuki and is willing to heed her advice, rooted in a memory of being sternly reprimanded by Ritsuko when she first joined the agency.
As part of 765 Production’s efforts toward a major arena concert, Iori demonstrates maturity by offering guidance to a struggling backup dancer, Shiho Kitazawa, during rehearsals.
In other media depictions, such as the iDOLM@STER Xenoglossia series and Super Robot Wars X-Omega, she pilots a sentient mecha called Nebula, capable of warping space-time, demolishing asteroids, and withstanding nuclear explosions. In these narratives, she is portrayed as a skilled mecha pilot with above-average intelligence and stamina.
She owns a dog named Jean Valjean, favors 100% pure orange juice, and celebrates her birthday on May 5, which coincides with Children’s Day in Japan.
