– Ichigo's anime opening prologue. |
Ichigo Hoshimiya (星宮 いちご Hoshimiya Ichigo?) is one of the main characters of Aikatsu, and a student of Starlight Academy. She is cheerful and has a cute personality. Her favorite brand is Angely Sugar. At first, she was a idol working solo but was later put into a unit called Soleil (ソレイユ Soreiyu?) with Kiriya Aoi and Shibuki Ran.
Bio
Ichigo was a middle school freshman and a co-worker of her family's bento shop. She spends most of her time helping with her mother, Ringo Hoshimiya, serving customers with the family's tasteful bento meals. Because of this, she developed an interest in judging food. Her only friend in her life is Aoi Kiriya, an intelligent girl with a knowledge for idols. Ichigo often acknowledged her as an "Idol expert" or "Idol professor," due to her dedicated fandom of idols.
Ichigo is usually carefree, but all she does is helping her mother in her bento shop. She isn't much into idoling, but after seeing Mizuki's performance with Aoi and her little brother Raichi, she was inspired by it. Encouraged by Aoi, Raichi, and her mother, she joins Starlight Academy to begin her career as an idol. She's a complete novice, yet she is optimistic and works hard to become the greatest idol ever. She doesn't have much knowledge about the entertainment world, so she always has her friend Aoi to teach her. As she accomplished many activities at Starlight Academy, Ichigo learns what it means to be a true idol.
When coming for the entrance exams, Ichigo was able to use a special appeal, as said by her headmistress. Her best friend Aoi was able to answer all questions correctly in the written exam. Her entrance number was 367.

Personality

However, she often pushes herself to her limits which may sometimes cause her to lose track of things. She can also be naive, sometimes nervous of things. Ichigo may sometimes finds it difficult to fully understand some things, but if she puts enough thought into it, she will generally understand it soon enough. Ichigo also enjoys eating, which was inherited from her father's love for food.
