OVA
Description
Yukiho Hagiwara is a 17-year-old idol with 765 Production. Profoundly timid and lacking self-confidence, her reserved demeanor stems from growing up in a strict traditional Japanese household in Tokyo. This background fostered her preference for cultural activities like writing poetry and preparing Japanese tea, though she is often too shy to share her poetry. Physically, she stands 155 cm tall, weighs 42 kg, and has measurements of 81-56-81 cm, with brown hair, yellow eyes, and blood type A. She harbors an intense fear of numerous stimuli, including dogs (even small breeds like chihuahuas), men, insects, ghosts, and social situations. These anxieties frequently trigger extreme reactions such as panic attacks, fainting, or attempts to flee, often accompanied by her expressed desire to "dig a hole and bury herself" when distressed.
Her motivation to become an idol is her desire to overcome her fears and become more confident, seeking to achieve something worthy of self-respect despite the profession's inherent challenges of facing crowds and interactions. She initially joined 765 Production after a friend submitted an audition resume without her permission; she mustered the courage to pass the second audition stage independently. Family dynamics significantly impact her life, particularly her father's disapproval of her idol career and occasional jealousy toward the producer. Her household includes her parents and several of her father's disciples residing in their mansion.
Within 765 Production, she shares a particularly close bond with Makoto Kikuchi, who provides stability and prevents her withdrawal during panic episodes. Makoto's courageous nature contrasts with Yukiho's timidity, creating a dynamic likened to a "prince and princess." Conversely, Iori Minase occasionally teases Yukiho and Makoto, sometimes exacerbating Yukiho's fears with ghost stories. In the *Live For You!* OVA, her portrayal reinforces her pronounced fearfulness, including a scene involving a dog in a park. The OVA maintains her core personality. Across broader media, her growth includes gradual efforts to confront her fears, such as partially overcoming her phobia of dogs with producer support and managing dance-related insecurities through encouragement from peers like Takane Shijou. Statistically, her initial game abilities reflect her personality, with early appearances often rating her visual appeal higher than vocal or dance skills; for example, her Xbox 360 stats list Vocal at 2/10, Dance at 1/10, and Visual at 5/10.
