Akari Tsujino

Height: 160 cm Hometown: Yamagata Prefecture Japan An honest and friendly country girl who loves ramen and apples both being her hometowns specialty products. She grew up on her familys apple farm giving herself the nickname Akaringo at a young age. After moving to Tokyo Akari decided to hide her Yamagata dialect as she finds it uncute but it occasionally slips when she is flustered or excited. She usually ends her sentences with ngo thinking this quirk would make her popular in the city. Along with her dialect and her love for apples her other defining feature is her ahoge shaped like apple leaves. In her ingame sprites and models it can be seen moving on its own depending on the way she feels other idols often wonder how it works. Additionally she carries around a mascot called Ringorou Japanese: who is said to be her familys apple farm mascot. When initially getting scouted by the Producer she is very flustered and doesnt know what to say. At first she rejects the offer as she thinks that a cuter girl should get the chance to be an idol instead of her. However after consulting with her parents they actually push her to be an idol and to take lessons. Because of her parents acceptance and Producers confidence in choosing her she gladly starts her journey as an idol. Her parents may have used Akaris newfound idol status as publicity for their apple farm as she often brings her familys apples to the production. Having a humble disposition given to her by her parents she does not think she has the skills to succeed as an idol and finds it hard to stand out. Despite this she is a hard worker and very determined wanting to clear all the obstacles in the way to reach her dream.
