765 idols[]

The primary characters in The Idolmaster are affiliated with 765 Production, described as a small, independent talent agency based in a small office.^[1]^[2]

Haruka Amami (天海春香, Amami Haruka): Voiced by: Eriko Nakamura; Million Live! archetype: Princess; Haruka is an all-around ordinary girl and is considered the face of The Idolmaster. She has enjoyed singing and making sweets since she was a child, despite the fact that she seems to be quite inept as a cook in general. She is easily excited and a bit clumsy, admitting that she habitually trips at least once a day. However, Haruka remains positive and keeps a strong resolve, always working the hardest to make the Producer happy. Even though her character image color is red, Haruka actually tends to be a bit partial toward the color magenta, if not pink, which is Iori's image color. Haruka is best distinguished by the ribbon bows on her hair. Apart from her dream of becoming a popular idol, she's very grounded in her roots and is comfortable just having work in general, as well as spending time with her fellow idols. Haruka is close to the other idols, but she is the closest to Chihaya Kisaragi, whom she helps overcome her past.

Chihaya Kisaragi (如月千早, Kisaragi Chihaya): Voiced by: Asami Imai, Kaori Shimizu (Xenoglossia); Million Live! archetype: Fairy; Cool and serious, Chihaya has the greatest enthusiasm towards music and the greatest natural talent of all of the girls, earnestly believing that if she were no longer able to sing, she would rather die. She does not very much care for the title "idol" though, preferring to refer to herself as a "vocalist" instead. Chihaya enjoys listening to classical music, and spending time by herself, giving an aura of maturity about her, though she is really just awkward when it comes to communicating with other people. Despite her age, she has the smallest bust out of all of the characters, which makes her feel envious at times when she sees other girls with a bigger bust, especially Takane and Azusa, such as during the beach trip. Chihaya has a tragic past, namely that she lost her younger brother to a car accident eight years ago, causing her to blame herself for what had happened. This also led to her parents' divorce, driving a wedge between her and her parents. She overcomes her past thanks to her friends, and after that, she is more expressive and cheerful. Chihaya is Haruka Amami's best friend.

Yukiho Hagiwara (萩原雪歩, Hagiwara Yukiho): Voiced by: Yurika Ochiai (2005-2010), Azumi Asakura (2010-present); Million Live! archetype: Princess; A terrible crybaby, Yukiho aspires to become an idol in order to one day shed her cowardly disposition. She is afraid of dogs – even chihuahuas seem threatening to her – and does not do well with men either. Having grown up in a strict, traditional Japanese household, Yukiho's drink of choice is tea, preferably green tea. Among her hobbies is poetry, especially writing haikus, but she is too shy to share her poems with anyone even once. Though her image color is white, she tends to be partial to the color "Baby Blue". Whenever she is depressed or scared, she has a habit of running off, exclaiming she will go "dig a hole and bury herself in it." Sometimes, she takes it literally, grabbing a shovel and digging a hole until someone tells her to stop. Yukiho is Makoto Kikuchi's best friend since childhood.; In 2010, Yukiho's voice actress, Yurika Ochiai, resigned from her role, citing death threats against her that also caused her to change her name. As a result, she was replaced by Azumi Asakura from The Idolmaster 2 onwards.

Yayoi Takatsuki (高槻やよい, Takatsuki Yayoi): Voiced by: Mayako Nigo; Million Live! archetype: Angel; Yayoi is a bright and optimistic girl who cares for her family very much. Due to her father's unstable occupational status, her family is quite poor, as indicated by Yayoi's plain clothing, which she has actually had for a very long time. To earn extra money, Yayoi often does cleaning and other odd jobs around the 765 Production office building, and continues to do so even after she debuts as an idol. Fittingly, she is highly energetic, and never lets the weight of the world discourage her. Yayoi is the oldest of six siblings and is often the one who looks after her siblings, but also wishes that she had an "older brother" type around to look after her. Yayoi is very close to Iori Minase, despite having vastly different backgrounds.

Ritsuko Akizuki (秋月律子, Akizuki Ritsuko): Voiced by: Naomi Wakabayashi; Million Live! archetype: Fairy; The cool, smart-girl type, Ritsuko believes in theory more than her own inner strength. Originally an intern working at 765 Production after graduating from high school, due to a lack of girls scouted by 765 Production, Ritsuko became an idol herself. Ritsuko's family consists of herself, her mother, and her father. Her parents share the same trait as Ritsuko – being business-like and hardworking. They also own a shop in the city. Despite being an idol, she still has one hand in the business side of her own celebrity life, and is quick to chide the Producer if she thinks he is not doing his job correctly.; In The Idolmaster 2, Ritsuko becomes the producer for the idol group Ryūgū Komachi and ties her hair up. She'll tie her hair in braids again when using a Ryūgū Komachi costume in the game. In the anime, she is a semi-active idol who became a producer for 765 Production, and ties her hair in braids for the concert in episode 18.; As of Platinum Stars, Ritsuko is now a semi-active idol in 765 Production.

Azusa Miura (三浦あずさ, Miura Azusa): Voiced by: Chiaki Takahashi; Million Live! archetype: Angel; The oldest amongst all idols in the game, Azusa's personality reflects that of a kind-hearted but air-headed "big sister" type. She has a very easy-going and carefree personality, but also an incredibly terrible sense of direction, which becomes subject of a running gag – whenever she is walking, she will end up in strange, distant places, with no idea of how she got there or how to get back. Her air-headed personality is shown when she 'assumed' that Hibiki's hamster is a valuable thing and attempts to put it inside a safe to safeguard it during the beach trip. Azusa also enjoys giving and reading fortunes, and has a firm belief that she will one day fall in love with "someone destined for her". One of her motivations for becoming an idol is, in fact, to someday find her true love.; In The Idolmaster 2, Azusa cuts her hair short (which was originally long) and makes an idol group with Iori and Ami called Ryūgū Komachi. In the anime, Azusa still retains her long hairstyle, but later cuts her hair short after she joins Ryūgū Komachi.

Iori Minase (水瀬伊織, Minase Iori): Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya; Million Live! archetype: Fairy; The daughter of one of the associates of the 765 Production president, Iori is a spoiled rich girl who flaunts her family's wealth. Although she is quite polite and refined on stage and in public, she has a very sharp tongue and is quick to berate other people's intelligence or attitude, especially the Producer. Probably because of being raised with two older brothers, Iori has grown up with a strong competitive streak, and thus rarely shows any weaknesses. However, she does have a much softer side that she shows from time to time, making her personality that of an archetypal tsundere character. She is sometimes seen carrying around a stuffed rabbit with her, which she named "Usa-chan" (also known as "Charles Donatello the 18th" in the anime). Though very rich and spoiled, her best friend is Yayoi Takatsuki, who happens to be much poorer than her.; In The Idolmaster 2, Iori makes an idol group with Ami and Azusa called Ryūgū Komachi. She also changes her hairstyle, leaving a bang of hair out of her hairband.

Makoto Kikuchi (菊地真, Kikuchi Makoto): Voiced by: Hiromi Hirata^[3]; Million Live! archetype: Princess; A tomboyish girl, Makoto is popularized as the "pretty-boy idol" within 765 Production. As a result, she has accumulated more female fans than male ones, becoming the cause of her psychological complex and a constant running gag in the plot. She is usually seen in sporty outfits and was already rather popular among her fellow students at the all-girls school she attends, and her current work as an idol does not make the situation any easier for her. Her father is a famous race-car driver and had wished for a son instead, so he raised Makoto as a boy. Even though she is not ungrateful of her popularity, underneath her gruff, boyish exterior, Makoto is actually an honest, sensitive girl, and wishes to make herself more feminine. Therefore, unbeknownst to her father, she decided to become an idol in order to find a way to a new, more feminine presence for herself and to show others that she can have a girly side as well. She is also shown to be friends with Yukiho Hagiwara, who is much different from her as far as personality is concerned.; As of The Idolmaster 2, Makoto grows her hair longer and parts her bangs in the middle, and she is also revealed to be a skilled mixed martial artist.

Ami Futami (双海亜美, Futami Ami): Voiced by: Asami Shimoda; Million Live! archetype: Angel; Ami and Mami are a pair of playful identical twin sisters who make a two-girl singing sensation. Ami and Mami both enjoy doing impressions and teasing their co-workers, though Ami is said to be more fun-loving than Mami. The only way to tell the two girls apart is through their hairstyles – Ami ties her hair to the right, Mami to the left – otherwise, they are identical. They use this to their advantage by switching their hairstyles and both performing as idols, but only underneath Ami's name. In The Idolmaster arcade game, the only people who actually know that Ami and Mami are twins are fellow members of 765 Production.; By the time of The Idolmaster 2, the public has come to acknowledge the existence of the twins. As a result, Ami makes an idol group with Iori and Azusa called Ryūgū Komachi. In the anime, the twins are already produced as separate idols.

Mami Futami (双海真美, Futami Mami): Voiced by: Asami Shimoda; Million Live! archetype: Angel; The other half of the Futami twins, Mami is available to produce as a solo idol from The Idolmaster 2 onwards. As the twin sister of Ami, Mami has many similarities to Ami in terms of personality, but is described as more mature and a little more obedient in comparison.; While the original arcade game implies that Ami is the older of the twins, the Xbox 360 game hints towards Mami being the older twin, which seems to have been the case since then. Also in The Idolmaster 2, Mami extends her ponytail longer to further differentiate herself from her sister, and she often worries that she doesn't get as much work as Ami due to the time they spent as the same idol.^[4]

Project Fairy[]

Project Fairy is an idol unit introduced in The Idolmaster SP, produced by the rival 961 Production. The group was specifically created so that its three members harmonize perfectly with each other, and have different specialties. As of The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, the members of Project Fairy have become part of 765 Production.^[5]

Miki Hoshii (星井美希, Hoshii Miki): Voiced by: Akiko Hasegawa^[6]; Million Live! archetype: Angel; Introduced in the Xbox 360 port of the original arcade game, Miki is a naturally talented girl who feels that she has rarely had to work hard for anything. Because of this, she is pretty lazy and always approaches tasks with a very laid-back attitude. She manages good grades with minimal effort, and was born with natural good-looks that belie her age, but she can sometimes be found annoying by others because of her rare attitude she has sometimes. She even receives about 20 confessions of love per day from boys. She's grown up in a very laissez-faire family, who had no problems with her becoming an idol. While she doesn't really have cruel intentions, she believes like everything else, she can make her way to become a top idol easily. Miki is also known to love onigiri, and can be seen sleeping all day when not doing anything else. Her catchphrase is "Afuu", which she utters every time she finishes yawning.; In the Xbox 360 game, Miki is in some way the main character besides Haruka, and her character has developed considerably over the game's year-long time span. If special conditions are met in the game, she cuts her hair short and no longer dyes it blonde.; In The Idolmaster SP, Miki was unsatisfied with the way she was being managed, and switched to rival production company, 961 Production, as a member of the group "Project Fairy".; As of The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, Miki has rejoined 765 Pro. Her hair also received minor changes in The Idolmaster 2, now being naturally blonde and slightly wavier.

Hibiki Ganaha (我那覇響, Ganaha Hibiki): Voiced by: Manami Numakura^[6]; Million Live! archetype: Princess; Introduced in The Idolmaster SP as a member of "Project Fairy", Hibiki is a highly energetic and cheerful girl hailing from Okinawa. Despite rivalries with the other idols, she remains friendly and happy, without becoming overly competitive like Takane. Hibiki has an outstanding number of pets, which she happens to lose quite frequently – her pets include a mouse, a hamster (named Hamuzō in the anime), a gerbil, a parrot, a rabbit, a cat, a dog (a female St. Bernard named Inumi in the anime), a pig, a flying squirrel and, oddly enough, a crocodile. She also has a pet chicken (named Kokemaro), but apparently it is kept at her parents' home in Okinawa.; As of The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, Hibiki has become part of 765 Pro. Her three sizes also shrank, since she is the only character that happens to, leading some fans to theorize that President Kuroi had lied about her measurements.

Takane Shijou (四条貴音, Shijō Takane): Voiced by: Yumi Hara; Million Live! archetype: Fairy; Introduced in The Idolmaster SP as a member of "Project Fairy", Takane is an elegant young woman from an affluent background, as seen in her outfits. While she has an elegant, snobby attitude due to her wealthy upbringing, she also has a refined, regal personality, and a princess-like air to her. She hardly ever sees her mother, and her father often goes out on business trips – he is said to own a large company, much like Iori's father, which is also why Takane has problems with her father – so she lives with her butler. Takane has an amazing passion for music. She is considered one of the smarter characters in the series, and is fluent in numerous languages, including German. She also often observes far more detailed things than almost everybody else. Furthermore, it is implied in the anime that she was not born in Japan. She is indeed mysterious in almost every way imaginable as she keeps most of her personal information hidden, especially where she came from. Despite being from a very wealthy family, Takane secretly takes an interest in commoner lifestyle and really enjoys ramen.; As of The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, Takane has signed up to 765 Pro.

765 staff[]

Producer (プロデューサー, Purodyūsā): Voiced by: Yūki Tai (drama CDs), Kenji Akabane (anime); The protagonist of The Idolmaster. He is a young rookie producer who has been put in charge of a new set of pop idols. In the game, his name is never given, and is decided by the player. His personality is also dependent on the player's choices, and can range from sweet and protective to lewd and perverted. However, in the drama CDs, he's most usually portrayed as somewhere in between.; In the anime, the producer remains unnamed, but is given the physical appearance of a young man with dark blue hair, glasses and a business suit. As the girls' producer, he is a very hard working individual who tries his best to help the idols as their mentor figure, going to whatever lengths to make sure the girls are happy, healthy, and able to make their appearances. Like Yukiho, he too is afraid of dogs. While he mainly produces the rest of the girls, he sometimes co-produces Ryūgū Komachi with Ritsuko, often taking over when she is unavailable or it only involves a single member, even temporarily producing Ritsuko when she goes back on stage for a concert. He is most often Yukiho's manager throughout the time.

Jun'ichirō Takagi (高木順一朗, Takagi Jun'ichirō): Voiced by: Kan Tokumaru; The president of 765 Production, he takes the Producer under his wing and monitors his performance in charge of the girls. He is never seen as anything but a silhouette, and is rarely encountered outside of the 765 Pro office building, except at the final performance in The Idolmaster game. In The Idolmaster Break! manga, his appearance is revealed to be a middle-aged man around his fifties or sixties.; Before The Idolmaster 2 entered development, Jun'ichirō's voice actor, Kan Tokumaru, passed away. As a result, in The Idolmaster 2, Jun'ichirō is given a story of why he did not return in the game – he has handed over the position of president of 765 Production to his cousin, Junjirō Takagi, so he can stop having to travel around Japan as he plans to move to Hawaii. Since then, Jun'ichirō is the chairman of 765 Production.

Junjirō Takagi (高木順二朗, Takagi Junjirō): Voiced by: Hōchū Ōtsuka; Jun'ichirō's cousin and the president of 765 Production as of The Idolmaster 2. Much like his cousin, he appears only as a silhouette in the game. However, he does physically appear in the anime, although his face is still not fully shown. He puts a lot of faith and trust that his idols will make it through, wanting to promote them simply as themselves and relying on their own talents to pull them through. Because of this, he uses his resources well to get his idols mostly to stay happy as he believes that they are at their best when they are happy.

Kotori Otonashi (音無小鳥, Otonashi Kotori): Voiced by: Juri Takita; An office clerk at 765 Production. Kotori originally only appears at the end of The Idolmaster arcade game, but then becomes a recurring character within the drama CDs. Originally featured on The Idolmaster arcade game webpage in the F.A.Q. section, she has accumulated enough fans to appear later on The Idolmaster media franchise. Among the few things disclosed about her personality and character, Kotori is known to be a little older than Azusa (making her somewhere in her early twenties), and despite not being an idol herself, she does love to sing. Her surname literally means "soundless". In The Idolmaster anime, Kotori takes an active role with the girls whenever the Producer and Ritsuko are busy. A young girl, implied to be a younger Kotori (albeit with longer hair and a mole under her right eye; later confirmed to be Kotori's mother, Kotomi), was revealed to have been produced by Junjirō and Kuroi before they went their separate ways. Her mole beauty mark on her right cheek is often covered up by her microphone piece.; In The Idolmaster 2, Kotori remains a clerk at 765 Production. Kotori's mole also appears as a DLC accessory.; She is the protagonist of the manga Asayake wa Koganeiro, which depicts her in her high school days, during which she aims to become an idol.^[7]

Misaki Aoba (青羽美咲, Aoba Misaki): Voiced by: Chika Anzai^[8]; A 765 Pro secretary introduced in Theater Days, usually taking the place of Kotori Otonashi in the game. Her birthday is the same as the release date of Theater Days.

Yūtarō Takagi (高木裕太郎, Takagi Yūtarō): Voiced by: Azumi Asakura; Jun'ichirō's grandson, Yūtarō is the protagonist of The Idolmaster Break! manga. He is a fan of the idols of 765 Production, especially Haruka.

Haruka-san (はるかさん, Haruka-san): Haruka's Puchidol. Similar to Gremlins, she dislikes sunlight, turns malicious when her hair ribbons are misplaced, multiplies herself whenever she comes into contact with water, creating a huge number of clones much to the others' chagrin, and becomes demonic when fed after midnight. She also likes to nibble at others.
Chihya (ちひゃー, Chihyā): Chihaya's Puchidol who loves to sing, but dislikes girls with large breasts, reflecting Chihaya's self-counsciousness with her own bust size, with Ritsuko as the only exception. She also develops a longer hair during winter that grows back soon after it is cut.

Takanya (たかにゃ, Takanya): Takane's Puchidol. Found in a Brazil-like tropical country, she loves ramen, has an unusual personality and talks by writing out words on paper. Unlike the others, who stay with their counterparts, Takane does not take a liking to Takanya, but obsesses over the others, especially Koami and Komami, of whom she does take care.

Kotoha Tanaka (田中琴葉, Tanaka Kotoha): Voiced by: Risa Taneda^[10]; Specialty type: Vocal; Kotoha is a workaholic young woman with a passion for acting. Despite being described as diligent and determined to do her best, she has one fatal weakness – she has a fragile mentality. This causes her to have very low confidence and easily get stressed by her routine. She is best friends with Megumi Tokoro and Elena Shimabara.; Kotoha was originally absent at the launch of Theater Days because her voice actress, Risa Taneda, took a hiatus from voice acting due to illness. She was eventually added to the game on February 2018.

Kana Yabuki (矢吹可奈, Yabuki Kana): Voiced by: Ibuki Kido^[11]; Specialty type: Vocal; Kana is a cheerful girl who loves to sing and aspires to be an idol.

Shizuka Mogami (最上静香, Mogami Shizuka): Voiced by: Azusa Tadokoro^[9]; Specialty type: Vocal; Shizuka is a stoic girl who's incredibly harsh towards the Producer due to her distrust of adults, which probably resulted from her troubled relationship with her father.

Megumi Tokoro (所恵美, Tokoro Megumi): Voiced by: Yukiyo Fujii^[12]; Specialty type: Visual; Megumi is a stylish girl who's really good a making friends.

Tomoka Tenkūbashi (天空橋朋花, Tenkūbashi Tomoka): Voiced by: Kotori Koiwai^[13]; Specialty type: Vocal; Tomoka is a kind and polite girl who believes she is some kind of "Holy Mother", suggesting she is likely a Christian. Despite looking like a refined young lady, and believing she loves all people, she also demands that people also love her back. She even has quite a habit of calling her fans "piglets", and forgets that she is being rude in her speech. It is known that Tomoka has a fanclub dedicated to her called the "Sky Knights".
Shiho Kitazawa (北沢志保, Kitazawa Shiho): Voiced by: Sora Amamiya^[12]; Specialty type: Visual; Shiho is a cool, lone wolf girl who takes anything she does seriously. Her cold and stoic demeanor comes from the lack of a fatherly presence since early childhood, causing her to help out her mother and look after her younger brother.

She is also a bit paranoid of others, preferring to stay away from others. According to her backstory, Momoko very likely had an unhappy life. Because of her activities, she hardly ever had time to play with kids of her age, much less make new friends. She doesn't have a happy family either – her parents frequently get into squabbles all the time. But ever since she became an idol, her life seems to have turned for the better, and she even has got a friend in Iku Nakatani.
Julia (ジュリア, Juria): Voiced by: Aimi^[16]; Specialty type: Vocal; Julia is a young girl who desires to become a punk rocker. She accidentally signed up to 765 Production, thinking it is a talent agency for rock musicians. However, she immediately asked the Producer to keep her contract anyway just as he was about to cancel it. Julia loves singing, and hates doing things half-heartedly, though she tends to be flustered whenever she is dressed in such a girly idol costume.; Julia is not even her real name, and for some reason, she is reluctant to reveal her real name to anyone.
Tsumugi Shiraishi (白石紬, Shiraishi Tsumugi): Voiced by: Saki Minami^[10]; Introduced in Theater Days, Tsumugi is a refined girl who speaks politely, but tends to be a little quick.

876 Production[]

The talent agency introduced in and, so far, only prominently appearing in The Idolmaster Dearly Stars.

876 idols[]

Three new idols introduced in The Idolmaster Dearly Stars, all of whom are/were affiliated with 876 Production. They also made cameo appearances in other games and a handful of episodes in the anime. Each of them also received a three-volume manga devoted to individual story lines in the game.^[19]

Ai Hidaka (日高愛, Hidaka Ai): Voiced by: Haruka Tomatsu; Referred to by fans as the "younger clone" of Haruka, Ai is described as an unstoppable mini-tank who never loses heart despite her shortcomings and lack of experience. She is known to have a massive amount of energy. Unfortunately, this tends to work against her in auditions as her energy would end up overwhelming the judges. Her mother, Mai, was in fact one of the most well-known idols in Japan before she became pregnant with Ai when she was only 15 years old. As a result, 876 Pro took interest in promoting her as Mai's daughter, but Ai insists on becoming a popular idol on her own. This becomes a problem when Mai suddenly returns to the stage as Ai now has to contend with being compared to her own mother. She decides to face her head-on, using her mother's own song, ALIVE, and defeat her with it. Afterwards, she continues on her own as an idol independent of her mother's celebrity status.; In the PlayStation 3 version of The Idolmaster 2, Ai appears as a DLC character in Catalog 3 as a S4U character. Once she is unlocked in S4U, players can have her perform with either of the songs "ALIVE" or "Go My Way".

Eri Mizutani (水谷絵理, Mizutani Eri): Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa; A former hikikomori and internet celebrity known online as "Ellie", Eri was scouted to become an idol in real life. While she can perform well online, in real life, she is very shy and is uncomfortable talking to loud people, such as Ai. She is also known to like cats. Owing to her background revolving around the internet, she's also really prone to spouting out internet memes. As Eri begins to grow more as a live idol, she becomes more interested in how other idols are able to stand out. But when Eri encounters a series of strange incidents, the truth about her producer, Reiko Ozaki, comes out as she also reveals her troubled time as an idol, when she had to deal with the gossips revolving around her on the net. In response, Eri decides to trust in her producer as she adapts Ozaki's unfinished song Precog and continues her career as a live idol.; In the PlayStation 3 version of The Idolmaster 2, Eri appears as a DLC character in Catalog 5 as a S4U character. Once she is unlocked in S4U, players can have her perform with either of the songs "Precog" or "Shiny Smile".

Ryō Akizuki (秋月涼, Akizuki Ryō): Voiced by: Yuuko Sanpei; Ritsuko's younger cousin who's very soft-spoken compared to her. Ryō is actually a boy who poses as a female idol, keeping that a secret from his co-workers at 876 Pro. Because of his feminine appearance, he was often mistaken for a girl, and so he wanted to become a male idol, but when he went to see Ritsuko about it, she took him to 876 Pro to become one. There, he ended up covering for a female idol, much to his chagrin. He did so well and, as a result, the studio hired him as a female idol. After a series of pranks done by rival idol Yumeko Sakurai, he successfully befriends her and becomes more motivated by her dreams, allowing him to refocus on becoming a popular male idol, the very dream he had desired in the first place. Starting with Sōichi Takeda writing "Dazzling World" for him to compete with Chihaya, Ryō begins to pick up momentum to finally convince the staff to let him start his career over as a male idol. He finally gets to appear on Takeda's "Old Whistle" show. By the end of the story, he comes to be accepted by his fans and becomes more popular than ever as he continues on his dream. That he switches between glasses and contact lenses, depending on whether he is doing his idol work, becomes important in distinguishing between his male and female personas.; In the PlayStation 3 version of The Idolmaster 2, Ryo appears as a DLC character in Catalog 7 as a S4U character. Once he is unlocked in S4U, players can have him perform with either of the songs "Dazzling World" or "Kiramekirari".; Ryō later returns in The Idolmaster SideM, where he now performs as a proper male idol in 315 Production, as part of the F-LAGS idol unit. This makes him the only Dearly Stars main character to make another major appearance.

876 staff[]

Minori Ishikawa (石川実, Ishikawa Minori): Voiced by: Risa Hayamizu (Splash Red drama CD); Ishikawa is the president of 876 Production. She is never seen as anything but a silhouette, but appears much more often than her 765 Pro counterpart, Jun'ichirō Takagi. She is said to be very good friends with both President Takagi and Yukio Igarashi. While she does believe in her idols like Takagi does, Ishikawa is not hesitant to use tricks to make her idols popular like Mai's celebrity for Ai and Ryō's charm as a girl for him.

Manami Okamoto (岡本まなみ, Okamoto Manami): Manami acts as manager to both Ai and Ryō, though she focuses more on Ai due to her lack of confidence. Because of this, the two form a close bond. Manami has a gentle, hardworking, and kind personality, although she can be rather ditzy sometimes.

961 Production[]

A talent agency introduced in The Idolmaster SP as the rival to 765 Production. As confirmed in the anime, 961 Pro is depicted as a more established talent agency compared to 765 Pro.

961 idols[]

Leon (伶音, Reon): Voiced by: Minori Chihara^[6]; Introduced in The Idolmaster One For All, Leon is a powerful idol who trains all day and is always running off to auditions. Other than that, not very much is known about her.; In The Idolmaster Starlit Season, Leon forms a new unit with fellow 961 Pro idols Shika and Aya.

Shika (詩花, Shika): Voiced by: Rie Takahashi^[6]; Introduced in The Idolmaster Stella Stage, Shika is a new idol for 961 Pro with some kind of family relationship to the president of 961 Pro. Born and raised in Austria, she has come to Japan only recently. Because of this, Shika makes a liberal use of German phrases in her speech, and is unfamiliar with Japanese culture and customs.; In The Idolmaster Starlit Season, Shika forms a new unit with fellow 961 Pro idols Leon and Aya.

Aya (亜夜, Aya): Voiced by: Rina Hidaka; Introduced in The Idolmaster Starlit Season, Aya is a new idol for 961 Pro, and a member of 961 Pro's new idol unit Diamant. Fiercely competitive, she is very determined to become better than Leon and Shika.

961 staff[]

Takao Kuroi (黒井崇男, Kuroi Takao): Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu; The president of 961 Production, as well as Project Fairy and Jupiter's producer before their departure. Like most other producers, he's not seen, but as with the heads of other talent agencies, he appears as a silhouette. After his original idols, Project Fairy, joined the rival 765 Pro in The Idolmaster 2, he formed a new idol group called Jupiter, composed of male idols. As of One For All, Jupiter had left 961 Pro, and as a result, Kuroi hired a new idol named Leon.; Kuroi is depicted as a cruel and ruthless businessman who will do anything, legal or not, to sell his idols and take down 765 Pro, including telling lies about 765 Pro to his idols. He tends to treat his idols as expendable pawns, using them solely for his personal gains. He is very picky too, choosing the most appealing and talented individuals as his idols and employing questionable business strategies to promote them, rather than allowing them to build their abilities naturally, the complete opposite of Junjirō's methods.; Kuroi and Junjirō were once old colleagues and friends, but later they had a falling out after Junjirō disagreed in the way Kuroi raised his idols. Since that incident, Kuroi has vowed to destroy Junjirō's company and his idols by any means necessary.; His company is in fact named after him, as "961" is pronounced ku-ro-i in Japanese.

Cinderella Girls[]

Initially consisting of 84 idols, the game features a total of 190 idols as of November 2018, making it by far the largest The Idolmaster subseries, though only 91 of them are voiced as of May 2020. The idols here are categorized into three personality archetypes: Cute (キュート, Kyūto), Cool (クール, Kūru), and Passion (パッション, Passhon).

346 Production[]

A large, well-established talent agency that serves as the main focus of The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls, especially its TV anime series.^[20] It is likely the largest talent agency in The Idolmaster series, having many talent divisions and a very large office.

Cinderella Project[]

Uzuki Shimamura (島村卯月, Shimamura Uzuki): Voiced by: Ayaka Ōhashi^[21]; A lively young girl who is scouted by the Producer for the Cinderella Project, she was originally taking personal lessons at a training agency to become an idol, but after being scouted for the Cinderella Project, she took lessons at the 346 Production facilities. She is similar to Haruka in her personality, although her voice and looks are quite different. She is almost always cheerful and optimistic, and is happy to have finally become an idol. Although sometimes overly emotional, she generally acts as the friendly-type "good girl". Scouted early on, she doesn't get to do any work at first, due to not enough girls being in the project at the time. Once two more girls are recruited, she gets put into a unit called "New Generations" with Rin and Mio, after the three performed as backup dancers onstage with Mika.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 8 August 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for eight weeks and topped at #12 on 20 August.^[21]
Rin Shibuya (渋谷凛, Shibuya Rin): Voiced by: Ayaka Fukuhara^[22]; A cool girl whose family runs a flower shop. She is similar to Chihaya in looks and demeanor. She originally was against the idea of being an idol, but the Producer managed to convince her to give it a try after meeting with her several times. Even after she becomes an idol, she maintains her cool and somewhat serious attitude, though she starts to enjoy singing and dancing on stage. Although cool and serious, she has a more feminine side that shows on occasion, usually when she is flustered or surprised by others. She is part of the unit "New Generations" with Uzuki and Mio.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 18 April 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for eight weeks and topped at #6 on 30 April.^[22]
Mio Honda (本田未央, Honda Mio): Voiced by: Sayuri Hara^[23]; Mio is an energetic girl who tends to get ahead of herself when it comes to wanting to become a popular idol. She is the de facto leader of "New Generations" and seems somewhat similar to the Futami twins, Ami and Mami, both in her expression and playful attitude. She even has a habit of referring to people around her with nicknames, much like the Futami twins. Although she had auditioned for the Cinderella Project before, she came up short. She eventually managed to get through on her second try. She tends to be very good with singing and dancing, though she can get tired quite easily during lessons. During the first mini-concert for "New Generations" to promote their Debut CD, she became disappointed with the small crowd that turned up and almost quit being an idol altogether. After some time, the Producer and her friends convinced her to stay as an idol, and she has since been less focused on the size of crowds at concerts, instead focusing on the excitement of the crowd.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 23 January 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for four weeks and topped at #9 on 4 February.^[23]
Kanako Mimura (三村かな子, Mimura Kanako): Voiced by: Yuka Ōtsubo^[24]; Kanako is a girl who enjoys doing idol work, but is also a little nervous at times. Her hobby is making sweets. She seems similar in demeanor to Azusa, having a tendency to be distraught when things do not go as planned. However, unlike Azusa, she tends to get flustered and nervous when things go wrong, rather than not really caring all that much. She enjoys wearing cute outfits like Chieri, and is also somewhat slow on the uptake for certain things. She still maintains a generally positive outlook on most things despite this. She is part of the unit called "Candy Island" with Chieri and Anzu.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 18 April 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for seven weeks and topped at #6 on 30 April.^[24]
Chieri Ogata (緒方智絵里, Ogata Chieri): Voiced by: Naomi Ōzora^[25]; Chieri is a very shy girl with a demeanor and voice similar to Yukiho. She has a kind of stage fright, as she is incredibly nervous whenever on stage, although she seems to be able to control herself somewhat when she thinks of the audience as frogs. It seems she is even more nervous when her fellow idols are on stage too instead of her, as she was very anxious during the performance where "New Generations" was doing the backup dancing at Rika's concert. She carries a four-leaf clover around with her, although it's unknown if she keeps it for luck, or just happens to like clovers. She is in the unit "Candy Island" along with Anzu and Kanako.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 13 November 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for four weeks and topped at #15 on 25 November.^[25]
Miku Maekawa (前川みく, Maekawa Miku): Voiced by: Natsumi Takamori^[26]; Miku is a girl aiming to be a cute pop idol. She seems similar in demeanor to Iori, especially with her different attitudes on stage and off. She almost always wears cat ears and punctuates her sentences with the kitty sound "nya" (Japanese onomatopoeia for "meow"). She has an inexplicable affinity for cats, although she doesn't have one as a pet, and even hates fish. Although she really wants to act cute, she can get mad when she feels she isn't getting enough attention. She appears to have a large collection of different cat ears, but tends to always wear the same pair at work. According to her, she works hard like a cat, and is always ready for work. She carries cat ears everywhere she goes so she can be ready for work at any time. She often has a totally different attitude when not on camera or onstage. However, as soon as she knows the fans are watching, she puts on the cat ears and acts like a cute and innocent idol. She is one half of the unit "Asterisk" along with Riina.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 8 August 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for eight weeks and topped at #11 on 20 August.^[26]
Anzu Futaba (双葉杏, Futaba Anzu): Voiced by: Hiromi Igarashi^[27]; Anzu is a young reclusive girl who's so lazy she detests the idea of work itself. She tends to be similar to Miki, although much smaller in figure despite being older, with her lazy personality and tendency to fall asleep. She is usually seen sleeping at any possible time, especially during the early parts of the anime series. She also demanded "8 days off every week" during a protest when she and the other idols thought they should have debuted earlier than New Generations since they had been part of the Cinderella Project longer. Although very lazy, she learns to work normally later on. She also seems to be a bit of a genius, as showcased when she was on a quiz show with her unit against a rival idol group, easily answering obscure questions and solving a complicated math problem incredibly fast in her head with almost no effort. Later on, she seems to have mostly done away with her laziness, but is still seen being somewhat lackadaisical about hard work. She is in the unit "Candy Island" along with Chieri and Kanako.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 18 April 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for ten weeks and topped at #4 on 30 April.^[27]
Riina Tada (多田李衣菜, Tada Riina): Voiced by: Ruriko Aoki^[28]; Riina is a girl who loves rock music and aspires to be a rock idol. She is somewhat similar in demeanor to Makoto. Although almost the opposite of Miku, she and Miku were paired up as a unit, mainly because they were the only idols who hadn't debuted at the time. After some seriously heated arguments and fights, they learned to get along and perform together, although they still tended to be at odds with each other often. Riina plays guitar, but apparently only knows some simple chords and has headphones on most of the time, listening to rock music. Like Miku, who has a large collection of cat ears, she has a large collection of headphones, but is always seen with the same pair at work. She has a great admiration for a young boy who tries out her guitar and plays an amazing sequence of riffs on it, despite him being left-handed and her guitar being a right-handed one. She also has a tendency to say that something is "rocking", usually when she likes something, like her unit's name, which was originally just a placeholder placed by the Producer, since the unit didn't have a name on the sign-up sheet for the idol festival. She is one half of the unit "Asterisk" along with Miku.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 23 January 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for five weeks and topped at #7 on 4 February.^[28]
Minami Nitta (新田美波, Nitta Minami): Voiced by: Aya Suzaki^[29]; Minami is a college student who plays lacrosse. She is similar to Ritsuko, being hardworking and responsible. She doesn't have a lot of character development, despite the fact that during the idol's training camp, she was elected as the Cinderella Project's supervisor due to being the oldest idol. However, she ended up overworking herself and fell sick during the idol fest, so she was initially unable to perform onstage. Later on, she managed to get over her sickness in time to perform with the rest of the idols during the finale. She is one half of the unit "Love Laika" along with Anastasia.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 22 May 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for five weeks and topped at #10 on 3 June.^[29]
Ranko Kanzaki (神崎蘭子, Kanzaki Ranko): Voiced by: Maaya Uchida^[30]; Ranko is a girl who dresses in goth-loli style and speaks with strange phrases like role-play. Disregarding her strange speech, she is very similar in looks and demeanor to Takane. Her unusual style of speech makes it hard for the Producer to understand her, so much so that he writes down her phrases in a notebook along with their "translation." She is the only idol in the Cinderella Project to have debuted by herself and not get put into a unit. Although she dresses in a goth-loli style and talks like she is from "the abyss" (according to her), she actually hates scary movies and stories, and is very easily frightened by such things. Initially, the Producer had decided to promote her debut and song with a straight-up horror theme, but he was told that she didn't like horrific things, so he changed it to a Gothic theme. During the idol fest, since Minami was unable to perform with Anastasia, she went on with her and performed with her surprisingly well, despite never having practiced it (although she returned to solo work afterwards). Her stage name is "Rosenburg Engel".; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 8 August 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for thirteen weeks and topped at #9 on 20 August.^[30]
Anastasia (アナスタシア, Anasutashia): Voiced by: Sumire Uesaka^[31]; Nicknamed "Anya", she is a half-Russian girl. She seems quite similar to Takane, such as her native country not being Japan and her notice of certain small details that other tend to miss. Since she is Russian, she often speaks in Russian accidentally (which is subbed as gibberish), before remembering to switch back to Japanese, though she is not as fluent in Japanese. However, she has no problem in listening to any conversation in Japanese, seemingly able to understand it. She often asks Minami how to say certain things in Japanese or whether she said something correctly or not. She is very talented in singing initially, which lead to her being paired with Minami, who is apparently very hardworking. She is one half of the unit "Love Laika" along with Minami.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 13 November 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for six weeks and topped at #13 on 25 November.^[31]
Miria Akagi (赤城みりあ, Akagi Miria): Voiced by: Tomoyo Kurosawa^[32]; Miria is an innocent 11-year-old girl. She seems somewhat similar to Hibiki, being primarily energetic and cheerful. She is the youngest idol in the Cinderella Project and tends to hug and cling onto older girls, especially Kirari. Although incredibly innocent, she can be a bit troublesome at times, hardly ever bothering to stop the other girls from harassing or pranking the Producer, and she even once helped Anzu flee from the other idols' sights so she could sleep all day. She is part of the unit "Dekoration" along with Kirari and Rika.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 22 May 2013, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for five weeks and topped at #11 on 3 June.^[32]
Rika Jougasaki (城ヶ崎莉嘉, Jōgasaki Rika): Voiced by: Nozomi Yamamoto^[33]; Rika is the 12-year-old younger sister of fellow 346 Production idol, Mika Jougasaki. She seems similar to Ai with her attitude on becoming well-known. Her sister wanted her to join her as part of the idol company so they could perform together in the future, but she stayed with the Cinderella Project to become a star without flaunting her sister's already-established popularity. Whenever she runs into her sister, she will exclaim "Onee-chan!" and hug her or cling to her obsessively. She is part of the unit "Dekoration" along with Kirari and Miria.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 18 April 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for seven weeks and topped at #9 on 30 April.^[33]
Kirari Moroboshi (諸星きらり, Moroboshi Kirari): Voiced by: Rei Matsuzaki^[34]; Kirari is a tall 17-year-old girl. She clings to Anzu and keeps her in check like an older sister, but gets put into a different unit than her. She is somewhat similar to Yayoi, although much larger in figure and three years older, with her hyperactive personality. Similar to Azusa, she doesn't mind the small things and being an "older sister" type, and tends to be laid-back with her approach to work and events. Although the leader of her group, her partners tend to be able to do whatever they want, because she doesn't always effectively take charge or keep them in check like she does with Anzu. She is part of the unit "Dekoration" along with Rika and Miria.; Her Cinderella Master single, released on 8 August 2012, charted on the Oricon Singles Chart for seven weeks and topped at #10 on 20 August.^[34]

Jupiter[]

An all-male idol group introduced in The Idolmaster 2. Originally produced by 961 Production, Jupiter was created by Kuroi as an idol unit to counter 765 Pro's rise in popularity.

As of The Idolmaster SideM, Jupiter has joined 315 Production.

The de facto leader of "Jupiter", he is a year younger than Takane. Described as a hot-blooded young man, he is very competitive and takes his idol career seriously, but also wishes to compete against anyone fair and square. While he easily gets pissed off when teased, he is surprisingly polite when speaking. Tōma enjoys playing soccer and collecting figures from his favorite robot anime, and is in fact skilled at cooking.; The Idolmaster 2 hints at a potential relationship between him and Haruka.; In the anime, Tōma is shown to be at odds with Kuroi, despite working for 961 Pro. He frequently calls Kuroi out for the latter's business practices, which he deems unethical. This, in turn, becomes the reason why Tōma apparently feels bad for Chihaya upon finding out the defamatory magazine article about her past.

His only known hobbies are napping and filial piety.; The Idolmaster 2 hints at a potential relationship between him and Yayoi.

Beit[]

An idol unit with a prince theme. As their unit name suggests, each member of this unit was originally a part-timer.

Kyōji Takajo (鷹城恭二, Takajo Kyōji): Voiced by: Yūichirō Umehara^[85]; Attribute type: Intelligent; A former convenience store clerk, Kyōji became an idol to start from scratch as Pierre's advice after moving out of his family's house following arguments with his father and older brother on his college entrance exam grades. He is not good with speaking in a manner that is not harsher as intended to be, and has admitted to holding a grudge against rich people. Despite this, he has good intentions and loves his fellow teammates. He is also not good at smiling or television appearances, and manages to achieve a more natural smile by thinking about his fans' support when made to improve his stage presence and fanservice ability on one occasion. However, he has a poor relationship with his family, except his younger brother. Kyōji can perform mathematical calculations in his mind and do housework himself, especially laundry.
Minori Watanabe (渡辺みのり, Watanabe Minori): Voiced by: Tomohito Takatsuka^[85]; Attribute type: Physical; A former flower shop clerk, Minori has admired idols, notably Jupiter, for as long as he can remember, to the point where he collects all DVDs of live idol performances. Despite his calm and friendly nature, he was once a delinquent, as evidenced by his past as a gang member, which explains why he is prone to threatening or scolding someone, although in a refined manner. He compares other people to flowers when talking about them. He is also skilled at sewing and cooking. Since he is often seen doting on Pierre so much, he is considered the leader of his own unit. As an aficionado of idols, Minori understands what other fans want and, because of this, he habitually takes pictures with Kyōji and Pierre on his smartphone and emphasizes the importance of his unit's costumes. Before performing, he looks at flower stands sent to the agency by fans and praises his fellow teammates whenever they do a successful job; he is also protective of them. As shown in an in-game event, he enjoys barbecuing and riding motorcycles.
Pierre (ピエール, Piēru): Voiced by: Shun Horie^[85]; Attribute type: Mental; Pierre is an innocent and optimistic European prince, probably from Belgium or Luxembourg. He currently lives in Japan and works as a mascot at an amusement park, handing out balloons in a frog suit. He was scouted by the Producer during his regular shift to become an idol. His love for making people smile led to a decision to accept that offer, and soon he formed a unit with Kyōji and Minori. Concepts such as autographs, kidnapping, and Japanese customs in general have to be explained to him, and his Japanese is terrible. Pierre came to Japan as a result of a throne dispute between his two older brothers when their father fell ill, making it unsafe for him to stay in his fatherland anymore. He is often seen in his frog mascot suit, and is surpirsingly good at peeling mandarin oranges. His full name is revealed to be Pierre Bichelberger (ピエール·ビシェルバーガー, Piēru Bisherubāgā).

An idol unit consisting of three former high school teachers. The name of their unit stands for Science, English, and Mathematics.

He became a idol with the purpose of not being trumped by a quirky costume; though over time, he has come to accept his idol duties fully and with great zeal from his costumes to acting roles and other assigned work. He incorporates mathematical references in his dialogue and can tackle any problem from a logical viewpoint, often organizing his ideas on white boards and drawing up graphs and other mathematical representations to aid him in coming to a solution or in presenting his ideas.
Rui Maida (舞田類, Maida Rui): Voiced by: Junya Enoki^[85]; Attribute type: Mental; Rui is an upbeat and fun-loving former English teacher who never lets things put him down. Because of this background, he has a habit of slipping English words in his speech. Believing that he could become a world star with his fluency in English, he has always wanted to become an idol, thinking it would be much more exciting to be one. In fact, his motivation kicked off when he happened to see his best friend since university, Hokuto Ijūin, perform at his school's cultural festival. Fittingly for his personality, Rui is very much into extreme sports, namely skiing, snowboarding, and surfing.
Jirō Yamashita (山下次郎, Yamashita Jirō): Voiced by: Yoshiki Nakajima^[85]; Attribute type: Intelligent; A miserly former chemistry teacher, Jirō is very lax about his job and quite a slacker, in contrast to his colleague, Michio Hazama. Whenever no one was looking, he would use the school's lab equipments to brew himself coffee, only to be reprimanded by Michio for that. He decided to become an idol because he had heard of Michio talking to himself about becoming an idol. While at first skeptical of the idea, in part because he will miss his old days as a teacher, Jirō ended up joining Michio and Rui to become idols once he learned of how much money they could make.

Kyōsuke was at first hesitant about his new life as an idol, but as time passes, he learns to put a trust in others and befriend them.
Yūsuke Aoi (蒼井悠介, Aoi Yūsuke): Voiced by: Takeru Kikuchi^[85]; Attribute type: Mental; The energetic older twin, Yūsuke is a carefree and playful young man who's bad at learning anything, even forgetting the details, but remains optimistic all the time.

One day, Kazuki caught wind of Ryō's public announcement on TV. Upon finding out that Ryō had started performing as a male idol, he decided to turn to the life of an idol.

Other characters[]

The Idolmaster Dearly Stars[]

Mai Hidaka (日高舞, Hidaka Mai): Voiced by: Ryoka Yuzuki (Splash Red drama CD); Mai Hidaka is the mother of Ai Hidaka. She is 29 years old, which means that she became a mother at the age of 16. Because of her youth, Mai is rather sporadic and very energetic, though never to the point Ai can get. She was once a legendary S-Rank super idol who won the Ultimate Idol, but she was only active for three years before abruptly retiring. Her image song "ALIVE" was extremely popular, which she later allowed her daughter to use when she became an idol. Later in Ai's story, she comes out of retirement with Manami Okamoto as her manager. Her sole reason for coming out of retirement at all is because she thought it would be fun and interesting to stand on stage again with her daughter.
Ayane Suzuki (鈴木彩音, Suzuki Ayane): Voiced by: Yurin (Innocent Blue drama CD); Ayane Suzuki, who prefers to be called Cineria (サイネリア, Saineria), is a fairly high ranking net idol, as well as Eri Mizutani's chat buddy. When Eri was still a net idol, Ayane was supportive of Eri, wishing the best of her ability whenever she could. As someone who looked up to Eri ever since her net idol days, Ayane believes that Reiko Ozaki had tricked the pure Eri into joining the "Dark Side" and tries to make Eri reconsider her choice.; In The Idolmaster 2, Cineria is the name of a news reporter. This seems to allude to the ending of The Idolmaster Innocent Blue volume 3. A unit with this name also appears on the "DO-TOP TV" ranking.
Reiko Ozaki (尾崎玲子, Ozaki Reiko): Voiced by: Yū Asakawa (Innocent Blue drama CD); Reiko Ozaki is a freelance producer who discovered the talents of Eri Mizutani upon watching one of her videos. Ozaki started scouting Eri and emailed her everyday, offering her a job as a live idol and asking her to meet her in person. Ozaki temporarily makes a contract with 876 Production and debuts Eri under the company label. Ozaki herself was once an idol, part of an idol duo known as riola, paired with another girl, Satomi Kondou. During her idol career, Ozaki never got past F-Rank due to slanderous comments about the unit and their agency's president that were posted online. This caused her to hate the internet and drives her desire to protect Eri from it. The song "Precog" was going to be her last image song, but went unfinished by the end of her career. She later allowed Eri to finish the song and use it as her own.
Sōichi Takeda (武田蒼一, Takeda Sōichi): Voiced by: Tatsuhisa Suzuki (Neue Green drama CD); Sōichi Takeda is a talented music producer who also writes songs on the side, depending on his mood. While he plays a minor role in the series, he has the biggest role in Ryō's story. Takeda has a strong passion for instrumental jazz music and classical music, and even owns a radio station called "Old Whistle" to honor classical music. However, he also has a dream of creating an idol that could help ascend music. In fact, before he became invested in Ryō, Takeda only allowed one other idol to appear on "Old Whistle", Chihaya Kisaragi, whose talents he was quick to recognize. Chihaya had personally approached him several times to have him write a song for her, only to be turned down as he felt that talent like hers would be wasted on a song written on a whim. Takeda was also the one who wrote the song "Dazzling World", which eventually became Ryō's image song. As he collaborates with Ryō, Takeda is able to learn and challenge himself to the point where Ryō can finally stand and the two can achieve their respective dreams.
Yumeko Sakurai (桜井夢子, Sakurai Yumeko): Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi (Neue Green drama CD); Yumeko Sakurai is a freelance idol who's determined to achieve her dream no matter what it takes. Introduced as rival to Ryō Akizuki, she is thought to be an extremely talented idol, though it is revealed that she has cheated her way to the top by sabotaging rival idols by various means, including giving them a candy that clogs the vocal chords or making the stage floor slippery. After Ryō convinces her to stop, she reveals that her dream was to appear as a guest on Takeda's show "Old Whistle". Despite being rivals, she frequently hangs out with Ryō to talk about their upcoming auditions. After Ryō reveals himself as a boy, Yumeko starts to have a crush on him. Yumeko also has an extremely high admiration for Azusa Miura, so much so that she refers to her as an older sister.

The Idolmaster Starlit Season[]

Kohaku Okuzora (奧空心白, Okuzora Kohaku): Voiced by: Aimi Tanaka; Kohaku Okuzora is a rookie idol scouted by 765 Production's Producer for Project Luminous. Her birthday is the same as the release date of The Idolmaster arcade game.

The Idolmaster Shiny Colors[]

Luca Ikaruga (斑鳩ルカ, Ikaruga Luca): Voiced by: Rina Kawaguchi^[96]; Luca Ikaruga is a mysterious solo idol introduced in the 3rd Anniversary of Shiny Colors as a rival. For unknown reasons, likely something personal, Luca has a low opinion of 283 Production, suggesting her hatred of 283 Pro idols.

The SideM/Cup Meshi collaboration featured Michio Hazama, Rui Maita, and Jirō Yamashita, all three of which form the S.E.M unit in SideM.^[105]

2019 Cinderella Girls general election[]

In late April 2019, non-Japanese fans of the Cinderella Girls sub-series of the Idolmaster franchise started pairing the then-unvoiced Brazilian character Natalia with Solid Snake of Konami's Metal Gear franchise.^[106] On 22 April 2019, Canadian YouTuber Mahado, a fan of the series, released a video in which Solid Snake, voiced by David Hayter, urges players to vote for Natalia in the 2019 Cinderella Girls general election, with audio by PepsiJohnny and Japanese subtitles by ThePascalPama.^[107] The campaign involved both players in^[108] and outside Japan, and at the end of September 2019, Natalia placed 9th in the overall preliminary rankings (3rd in Passion idol rankings) in the election^[109] and finally got a voice actress in the form of Teru Ikata.^[110]
