Aoi Kiriya

About Kiriya, Aoi

Sign: Aquarius Favorite food: sandwiches Aoi's Ichigo's best friend from way back, and they both enrolled at Starlight Academy together. She's the calm, analytical type—bright and quick to read a situation. Fans often joke that Ichigo calls her the "Idol Professor" because she's basically obsessed with the entertainment industry and knows everything about the idols at their school. She's got that knowledge locked down from years of dedicated study, which she managed to squeeze in by getting her homework done early. During the entrance exam, Aoi aced every idol-related question and placed in the top tier out of roughly 1000 applicants. She nailed her training too—nothing shakes her. By the end of Episode 2, she'd become Mizuki Kanzaki's temporary manager, a role that made sense given how much she'd already studied the field. Part of her thing is watching other performers before they go on stage to spot their weak points, which is the kind of detail-oriented work she's naturally suited for. She's definitely more grounded than Ichigo and isn't afraid to steer her friend back on track when needed. Her favorite brand is Futuring Girl, her stage color is blue, and there's this underlying anxiety of hers about not getting to spend as much time with Ichigo at the academy as she'd like.
