Description
Hoho Kajino manages the idol group Fruit Tart under Rat Productions and serves as caretaker for the company dormitory, Nezumi House. She is 25 years old, standing 1.65 meters tall, with long dark brown hair, brown eyes, and typically wears green-rimmed glasses with a black suit over a white dress shirt.
Nezumi House once teetered on the brink of demolition due to the financial struggles of its residents—Roko Sekino, Hayu Nukui, and Nina Maehara—who lacked consistent work. To prevent the dorm's sale and secure her own home, Hoho recruited Ino Sakura, forming Fruit Tart. She tasked the group with earning money through idol activities, including producing a low-budget variety show filmed with a camcorder for income and visibility.
Her personality blends immaturity and occasional irresponsibility with underlying dedication. Habits include casual beer drinking and devising money-making schemes that sometimes backfire or place the group in undignified situations, reflecting a tendency to overlook consequences. A longstanding rivalry with her successful childhood friend Riri Higashi, now producer for rival group Cream Anmitsu, fuels her resentment and competitive drive, though unbeknownst to Riri. Despite her flaws, she genuinely cares for the Fruit Tart members and supports their growth, leveraging affordable resources like enrolling them in a national idol competition and facilitating collaborations with other agencies.
Her managerial role evolves from crisis-driven decisions to more structured efforts. She coordinates their first public performances, oversees their transition into original music production, and negotiates sponsorship opportunities, such as reconciling Hayu’s family conflicts to secure backing. Her strategies increasingly prioritize the group’s long-term stability, exemplified by partnering with Cat Productions for joint concerts and expanding community outreach. These efforts culminate in Fruit Tart qualifying for a national competition, highlighting her persistent commitment.
Her name, meaning "grain" and "walk," combined with her surname translating to "sculling oar" and "field," aptly reflects her role in guiding the group through challenging terrain.
