Description
Iori Minase, a 15-year-old idol from Tokyo’s elite circles, navigates stardom under 765 Production’s banner, her entry smoothed by her CEO father’s ties to the agency’s president. Raised alongside two accomplished older brothers—one studying abroad, the other forging a career in Europe—she honed a fiercely competitive streak and an aversion to defeat. Her affluent upbringing crafted a poised public image, yet behind the scenes, her sharp wit and tsundere tendencies veil moments of vulnerability, particularly in exchanges with peers and the Producer.
A childhood stuffed rabbit, Usa-chan, remains her steadfast companion, whimsically rebranded as “Sebastian” or “Charles Donatello the 18th” on whims, though rarely parted from her arm during casual performances. Her polished look—long brown hair swept back by a headband to expose her forehead—draws playful ridicule from rivals like Miki Hoshii, who dubs her “Deko-chan.”
Fluent in five languages, she wields intellectual confidence, quick to critique shortcomings. Her pursuits include globetrotting, gourmet dining, and sipping 100% orange juice, a preference she unabashedly demands from the Producer. Beneath her bristly exterior lies a steadfast bond with Yayoi Takatsuki, their friendship’s roots unexplained but unshaken.
A past disciplinary clash with Ritsuko Akizuki cemented her unwavering deference to the older idol. Rivalries, notably with units like Jupiter, push her to embrace collaboration, gradually tempering her lone-wolf instincts. Paradoxically, drama CDs reveal her as a skilled marksman—a stark contrast to her glittering stage persona.
Over time, her arc shifts from entitled individualism to grudging recognition of teamwork’s value, though her tsundere edge endures. Family tensions—a strict father she quietly fears, pride in her brothers’ overseas triumphs—fuel her relentless ambition. Clad in her signature pink, she balances vibrant flair with the refinement of her privileged world.
