Takatsuki, Yayoi

高槻やよい

Yayoi Takatsuki is consistently energetic, optimistic, and hyperactive. Her strong will and optimistic nature make her well-suited for being an idol, although she frequently speaks too loudly and sometimes cannot control herself, leading to her often being hushed or punished by others, particularly at school. She is not particularly intelligent, which explains her low school grades. Because of her father's unstable employment, her family is actually quite poor, as shown by Yayoi's plain clothing, which she has owned for a very long time. To earn extra money, Yayoi often performs cleaning and other odd jobs around the 765 Production building, continuing this work even after debuting as an idol. Despite this, she remains endlessly energetic and never allows life's burdens to discourage her. As the oldest of five siblings, Yayoi is always the one who must look after them, yet she also wishes she had an "older brother" figure to look after her. She is also very greedy and self-conscious regarding finances, occasionally asking the Producer to lend her money. If she feels she has spent money on something useless, even an amount as small as 10 yen, she becomes extremely depressed and may stay in bed for days, haunted by her regrets.
