Description
MEM-cho, whose real name is never revealed, is a charismatic online influencer and YouTuber who becomes a key member of the revived idol group B Komachi. Physically, she is petite, standing at 155 centimeters tall, with short blonde hair featuring dark roots, prominent fang-like teeth, and a signature black headband that resembles small devil horns. Her youthful appearance allows her to convincingly pass as a high school student despite being significantly older.
Under a bubbly and carefree exterior, MEM-cho possesses a sharp, analytical, and remarkably objective mind. She is a rational thinker capable of accurately reading the dynamics of any situation, a skill that makes her an excellent strategist and a natural mediator within her group. While she presents herself as an eighteen-year-old, her true age is twenty-five, a secret she maintains to pursue her long-held dream of becoming an idol. Her motivations are deeply rooted in her past; as a child, she was an intense fan of Ai Hoshino and aspired to be an idol herself. However, during her final year of high school, her mother fell seriously ill, forcing MEM-cho to become the sole provider for her family and put her own ambitions on hold to support her two younger brothers. By the time her family was stable, she was twenty-three and had aged out of the traditional idol audition window. She then turned to streaming and social media, crafting an online persona as an active high school student—a lie she felt compelled to maintain as her popularity skyrocketed.
MEM-cho first appears as a participant on the reality dating show LoveforReal, alongside Aqua Hoshino and Akane Kurokawa. During the show, she bonds with Aqua, who, after learning about her personal sacrifices and her secret, invites her to join the new B Komachi. Though hesitant due to her age, she is warmly welcomed by the other members and finally gets the chance to realize her idol dream. In the group, she quickly assumes the role of a dependable big sister, offering guidance and using her extensive life experience to support her younger colleagues.
Her key relationships are central to her role in the story. She shares a sincere friendship with Ruby Hoshino, bonded by their shared passion for idols. With Kana Arima, MEM-cho becomes a trusted confidante, often the person Kana turns to for advice regarding her complicated feelings for Aqua. She is also friends with Akane Kurokawa, a fellow participant from the dating show. This puts MEM-cho in a difficult position, as she finds herself genuinely caring for both Kana and Akane and feeling conflicted about their romantic interest in Aqua. With Aqua himself, she maintains a strong, trusting alliance; he is the one who recruits her for B Komachi, and she becomes one of the few people who clearly understands the complex love triangle surrounding him.
MEM-cho’s notable abilities extend beyond performance. She is a self-proclaimed buzz pro, an expert in digital marketing and online promotion with a natural talent for analyzing internet trends and creating viral content. She leverages her substantial online following to strengthen B Komachi's public presence. While her singing is competent and notably better than Ruby's, it is often described as being in the charmingly unpolished category. Her true strengths lie in her strategic thinking, her ability to smooth over conflicts, and her unwavering, genuine care for her friends. Following the main storyline, MEM-cho eventually retires as an active idol due to her age and transitions into the role of B Komachi’s producer, continuing to support the group and the idol world from behind the scenes.
