Description
Mizuki Kanzaki is a central character in Aikatsu! and a former student of Starlight Academy. She began her career as an elementary school model before disappearing from the public eye for about a year. During that time, she undertook intensive training to overcome what she perceived as a lack of natural ability, and she returned to become the top idol at Starlight Academy, earning the title of Starlight Queen. Many people see her as a born genius, but she keeps her hard-working nature private.
Mizuki is calm, elegant, and confident, and she carries herself with a professional air. She is generally kind and humble toward other idols, but when it comes to idol activities she becomes strict and demanding. Beneath her composed exterior, she can be bashful in certain situations, a side of her that contrasts with her usual poised demeanor. She is deeply ambitious and competitive, driven by a desire to become a legendary idol.
Her primary motivation stems from watching the legendary unit Masquerade perform. That experience inspired her to become an idol and later set her goal of surpassing them. She pursues this dream relentlessly, founding and leading multiple idol units. She first formed Tristar, selecting Kaede Ichinose and Ran Shibuki as members, and later replaced Ran with Yurika Toudou when Ran left to join Soleil. These units eventually merged into STAR☆ANIS. After leaving Starlight Academy, Mizuki worked as an adviser at Dream Academy before returning to the idol world with a new brand called Love Moonrise and establishing her own agency, Moonlight Office. She later formed the unit WM with Mikuru Natsuki.
Mizuki plays a key role in the story as the initial rival and role model for the protagonist Ichigo Hoshimiya. Her performances inspire Ichigo to enroll at Starlight Academy, and the two develop a competitive yet respectful relationship. Mizuki also becomes a member of the elite Aikatsu8 alongside Ichigo, Seira Otoshiro, Otome Arisugawa, Sora Kazesawa, Maria Himesato, Yurika Toudou, and Mikuru Natsuki.
Over the course of the series, Mizuki undergoes significant development. She shifts from a seemingly untouchable top idol to someone who openly pursues her dream of surpassing Masquerade. She creates the Twinkle Star Cup competition to challenge herself and WM, ultimately losing to the unit 2wingS formed by Ichigo and Seira. Despite this loss, she fulfills her dream of achieving the status of a legendary idol like Masquerade. She then decides to retire, having accomplished her goals, and Ichigo later takes the number one ranking.
Among her notable abilities, Mizuki possesses exceptional singing, dancing, and fashion sense. She has her own premium brand, Love Queen, which she later evolves into Love Moonrise. Her dedication and work ethic are central to her success, and she is known for pushing herself beyond her limits. She also demonstrates leadership by founding and guiding multiple idol units and by organizing major events like the Twinkle Star Cup.
