Weaknesses: Sometimes feeling lonely because you have to bear the heavy burden of being a single parent as well as a company leader for so many years.

Miyako was originally married to Ichigo Saitou with a slightly superficial motive—she wanted to enjoy a luxurious life and might meet a handsome man in the entertainment world. She was upset because she had to be the secret "babysitter" for Aqua and Ruby's babies so that Ai Hoshino's secrets would not be exposed.
Transformation into a Real Mother:
The turning point in her life occurs after Ai Hoshino's tragic death. When her husband, Ichigo, disappeared due to depression and resentment, Miyako did not escape. He chose to stay, raising Aqua and Ruby as his own children, and taking over the leadership of the nearly destroyed Strawberry Productions.
Roles in Ruby and Kana's Career:
Miyako is the one who revived the idol division at Strawberry Productions. She works hard day and night to ensure Ruby, Arima Kana, and MEM-cho have a healthy and safe work environment, something that is rare in the violent entertainment industry. She acts as a manager, producer, and mother who is always ready to listen to their complaints.
Miyako Saitou is the unsung hero in Oshi no Ko. If Ai is a shining star, then Miyako is the sky that sustains the stars so that they can continue to shine. He proved that family ties are not always based on blood, but on sacrifice and sincere affection.

Role as Adoptive Father:
When Ai was pregnant, Ichigo was the one most responsible for keeping the secret in order to protect Ai's career and the safety of her children. After Ai died, he and his wife, Miyako Saitou, took on the responsibility of raising Aqua and Ruby. However, the grief and anger over Ai's death make her unable to survive; he left the company and his wife to search for Ai's killer alone in the dark.
Reappearance:
After years of disappearing and living as an exiled fisherman, Ichigo is finally rediscovered by Aqua. He then helps Aqua by providing important information about how the entertainment industry works and facilitating Aqua's highly complex revenge plan.
Ichigo Saitou is the figure who built the foundation of the story of Oshi no Ko. It represents the dedication of a producer who is willing to sacrifice everything for a star, but it also shows how devastated a person is when the light he has worked so hard to keep is forcibly extinguished.

Friendship at School:
Frill attends Youtou High School (performing arts department) and is a classmate of Ruby Hoshino and Minami Kotobuki. Although she is the most famous artist in school, she treats Ruby and Minami very normally.

Relationship with Arima Kana:
Mana is often a reflection of contrast for Kana. At a time when Kana feels inferior because her glory days as a child actress have come to an end, Mana emerges as a younger and more "fresh" figure in the eyes of the agency. Even though they are in the same agency, there is an implied competition between them for the manager's attention and audition offers.
Roles in the Industry:
Mana represents talents who work hard behind the scenes, filling supporting roles in television dramas and commercials. He is a real example of a young professional who must be smart to maintain an image and good relations with important people in the agency so that his career does not stagnate.
Although Mana is not a character who has a major impact on Aqua's revenge plot, her presence is crucial to show the dynamics of the Talent Agency. He exerted social pressure on Arima Kana, which eventually triggered Kana to step out of her comfort zone and later agree to join B-Komachi as an Idol.

Name: Yura Katayose

Dislikes: Boredom and people who are too stiff or boring.
Strengths: Excellent acting talent and natural charisma that can intimidate her co-stars.
Weaknesses: Being too relaxed and not being aware of the surroundings, which eventually leads to danger.

Yura Katayose is a top actress who is at the top of the Japanese entertainment industry. He is the main candidate wanted by Director Gotanda to play the character of Ai Hoshino in the biopic 15-Year Lie.
Interaction with Aqua Hoshino:
Yura meets Aqua while they are at an entertainment venue. Both have something in common, namely they like to play Mahjong. Although Yura was much more senior and famous, she treated Aqua kindly and casually. Aqua sees Yura as the person who most comes close to Ai Hoshino's abilities and charisma for her film project.
Shocking Tragedy:
Unfortunately, Yura has a tragic role in the main plot. While he is enjoying some time alone in the mountains in search of tranquility, he meets Hikaru Kamiki (a mysterious figure who is Aqua and Ruby's biological father). Unaware of the impending danger, Yura behaved as friendly as usual. However, Hikaru—who has a dark obsession with bright-shining "stars"—coldly kills Yura.
Impact on the Story:
Yura Katayose's death is clear evidence to readers of how dangerous Hikaru Kamiki is. Her death also forced Aqua to look for another cast for the figure of Ai, which eventually paved the way for Ruby Hoshino to take on the lead role.
Yura Katayose represents the figure of the "Perfect Star" whose future is suddenly snatched away. His brief but memorable presence was the catalyst that accelerated the revenge conflict in Oshi no Ko toward its climax.

Role in the Movie:
In the film, Mimi gets the role of one of the original members of the idol group B-Komachi (generation Ai). He is tasked with reviving the dynamics of past idol groups, showing how the relationships between the members are behind the scenes when Ai is still the center of the world's attention.
Interactions with Main Characters:
During the film's production process, Mimi often interacts with Ruby Hoshino and Arima Kana. Although he has a supporting role, his presence is crucial to building an authentic atmosphere of the old B-Komachi glory. He has a lot of respect for his seniors and often uses the opportunity on set to learn more about in-depth acting techniques.
Mimi Yoshizumi represents a new generation in the entertainment industry full of hope. Despite not having a tragic past like the other main characters, he is a color of his own that shows that there is still a fun and passionate side in the midst of the heavy drama that envelops the world

Weaknesses: Sometimes it feels overwhelming to always look perfect as a model in public

Yuki Sumi was introduced as one of the contestants in a dating reality show titled The Beginning of My Love with a Star (LoveNow). Among all the participants, Yuki is the most experienced in front of the camera due to her career as a top-tier fashion model.
Role in the Akane Tragedy:
Yuki was involved in an incident that sparked a mass bullying of Akane Kurokawa. In a scene that was supposed to be just a television "drama", Akane accidentally scratched Yuki's face. Although Yuki personally forgave Akane and thought it wasn't a big deal, the show's editors cut out the apology section to make the atmosphere look more dramatic. This is what causes the audience to hate Akane.
Genuine Kindness:
After the incident, Yuki was the most vocal person in Akane's defense. She feels guilty because the wound on her face (which is actually small) is the reason Akane was attacked. As Akane tries to end her life, Yuki is one of the most heartbroken people and continues to provide emotional support so that Akane can get back on her feet.
Endgame on LoveNow:
At the end of the show, Yuki has a "setting relationship" with another contestant (Nobuyuki Kumano). He shows his high professional side by separating his work in front of the camera and his personal feelings in real life.

She was a very important figure at the beginning of Arima Kana's career, as she starred in a drama adaptation of her manga (although the adaptation was initially considered a failure due to poor production quality).
Mentor to Abiko:
Yoriko is Abiko Samejima's former boss. He knows very well how genius and difficult Abiko's personality is. In the 2.5D Stage Play arc, Yoriko acts as a mediator as well as a "voice of logic" when Abiko goes berserk and wants to disrupt the entire Tokyo Blade theater production.
Creator Philosophy:
The main difference between Yoriko and Abiko lies in the way they view adaptation. Yoriko argues that once a work is adapted into another medium (drama or theater), it no longer belongs to the author alone, but belongs to the entire team. However, after a long debate with Abiko, Yoriko recalled her youthful passion which used to be very protective of her work.

Career as a Gravure Model:
Minami worked as a gravure model (magazine model). In Japan, the field is highly competitive and often has a certain stigma, but Minami handles it very professionally. He understands that his body is an asset of his work and he takes care of it with great discipline.
Friendship Circle:
Along with Ruby and Frill Shiranui (a top actress), Minami forms a friendship trio at school. Among the three, Minami often plays the role of a calm mediator.

Abiko Samejima is the author of a hit manga titled Tokyo Blade. He is a former assistant to Yoriko Kichijouji (author of Sweet Today). His immense talent made him a huge success at a young age, but that success also reinforced his stubborn nature.
Stage Play Conflict:
His main role came when the manga, Tokyo Blade, was about to be adapted into a theatrical show (2.5D Stage Play). After seeing the draft script made by a professional screenwriter (GOA), Abiko felt that the script was "garbage" because it removed the essence of his work. Without compromise, he demanded that the entire script be rewritten by himself, which caused a huge mess in the production schedule.
Relationships with Other Creators:
Her conflict with Yoriko Kichijouji shows her human side; Although they often argue, Yoriko is the one who best understands how heavy a creator can be. Abiko finally began to soften after interacting with Akane Kurokawa and Aqua Hoshino, which helped her understand that collaborating on a show also requires trust in others.

Ai has a very dark past. He grew up in an orphanage without parental affection, which made him grow up to be a person who didn't understand how to love others. For him, the words "I love you" are a lie that he uses to survive in the entertainment industry.
Big Secret:
At the peak of her career as the center of the idol group "B-Komachi", Ai surprisingly became pregnant at the age of 16. In order to maintain her idol's image, her agency hid the pregnancy in a rural hospital.

MEM-cho is a successful YouTuber who has millions of followers. However, his biggest dream is not to become a YouTuber, but to become an Idol. Unfortunately, fate says otherwise. When he was a teenager, his family experienced financial difficulties. As the eldest child, MEM-cho chose to stop pursuing his dreams and start working to pay for his younger siblings' schooling.
He spent many years working hard as the backbone of the family until his younger siblings graduated. However, when she is finally free to pursue her dreams again, she realizes that her age is already beyond the maximum limit for idol auditions (which usually look for girls under 20). Eventually, he started doing live broadcasts and lying about his age in order to remain acceptable to the youth market.
Joining B-Komachi:
The magic came when he joined the reality show "LoveNow" with Aqua and Akane. Aqua, aware of MEM-cho's hidden talents and desires, invites her to join a new idol group, B-Komachi, alongside Arima Kana and Ruby Hoshino.

Strengths: Acting Method (Impersonai)—He is able to perfectly mimic the personality of a person (including Ai Hoshino) through in-depth research.

Akane is a talented actress from the famous theater troupe, "Lala Lai". He was known as a hardworking man who always carried a notebook to analyze the character. Her name began to be widely known to the public when she participated in the dating reality show, The Beginning of My Love with a Star (LoveNow).
Cyberbullying Tragedy:
In the show, Akane had a dark time. Due to a small accidental incident with another contestant, he became the target of mass hate on the internet. An overwhelming mental strain almost brought him to an end in life, but he was saved by Aqua Hoshino. This incident became a major turning point in his life.
"Genius" Ability:
After rising, Akane shows her true talent. To return the favor to Aqua, he did in-depth research on Ai Hoshino and managed to mimic the legendary idol's personality very accurately—even down to the smallest details such as his mindset and eye movements. This ability makes Aqua (and the audience) stunned and goosebumps at the same time.
Relationship with Aqua & Kana:
Akane is involved in a complex relationship with Aqua, where she is willing to help Aqua's revenge plan due to her deep love. On the other hand, he has a fierce but respectful rivalry with Arima Kana.

He is an intelligent and calm figure, but can be very brave (even dangerous) when it comes to his loved ones.

Name: Arima Kana
Nickname: Kana-chan / "Genius Loli Who Can Cry in 10 Seconds"
Age: 16 Years Old
Younger Brother: Arima Noxalara is 13 years old
Gender: Female
Appearance: Beautiful girl with shoulder-length short red hair, often wears a fashionable hat and school uniform with a red blazer.

Strengths: Excellent adaptive acting skills (can adjust the acting quality to make the co-stars stand out).
Weaknesses: Mentally very easily destroyed if you feel no longer needed.

Arima Kana was once at the top of the world as a genius child actress. However, as he grew into a teenager, his popularity plummeted. The entertainment world that used to adore him is now throwing it away because it is considered to no longer have "selling value." This trauma is compounded by his selfish biological family; after Kana no longer made much money, she and her 13-year-old younger brother, Arima Noxalara, were neglected and ostracized by their parents.
Now, at the age of 16, Kana carries a very heavy burden of life. He must be the head of the family as well as a protector for Noxalara. His struggle in the entertainment world is no longer just a search for fame, but a form of desperate defense of life. She is willing to take any role, even a small role that lowers her self-esteem, to ensure that Noxalara can still go to school and live a decent life.
Behind her strong and often stubborn nature, Kana's heart is actually very fragile. He always felt afraid that one day he would completely lose his job and fail to protect his sister. Every time she stands in front of the camera, she uses her heartache to produce a legendary cry act—a cry that arises from the real pain of being banished by the world and family. For Kana, the stage is the only place where she feels "there," and she will continue to fight there even if it means bathing in tears, for the sake of her future and Noxalara
