Karakter & Staf — AKB0048: next stage

Orine Aida

Utama

Sayaka Nakaya

Yuuka Ichijou

Utama

Female · Umur 14

Height: 147,5 cm Quote: "I’m the captain of everyone’s happy cheer squad!" 77th generation understudy. Not one to mince words, and has a bit of a short temper, but also has a gentle side. Always carries around a large bag, from which she can produce seemingly anything. Childhood friends with Orine and Nagisa, and often drags the other two along on her adventures. She likes seafood deep-fry, fried fish paste, fish cakes, and other fish paste products.

Amina Satou

Suzuko Kanzaki

Utama

Female · Umur 14

Height: 157 cm Quote: "Nobody loves AKB as much as I do." 77th generation understudy. Usually a soft-spoken and reserved glasses girl, but when it comes to 0048 minutiae and history, she goes all-out idol-otaku mode. She treasures the autograph that she got from a certain somebody. She likes potato chips (which she eats with chopsticks).

Sawako Hata

Mimori Kishida

Utama

Female · Umur 17

Height: 162 cm Quote: "Am I giving off pheromones??" 75th generation understudy. A voluptuous character who’s proud of her height and generous proportions. Often draws out the ends of her words in a sensuous manner, though she doesn’t seem to be doing it on purpose. For some reason, she tends to strike sexy poses. She likes the kind of cherries that aren’t Japanese cherries.

Sumire Satou

Kanata Shinonome

Utama

Female · Umur 15

Height: 157 cm Quote: "Calmly, justly, and boldly." 75th generation understudy. Serious, hard-working, and a bit uptight. Friends and generation-mates with Mimori, to whom she is able to speak frankly about herself. She is Sonata’s older sister, and generally speaking finds her younger sister annoying. When the siblings argue, it can get quite heated. She likes celery, which she eats raw and by the stalk and monjayaki.

Haruka Ishida

Sonata Shinonome

Utama

Female · Umur 10-11

Height: 143 cm Quote: "We’re all gonna make it to the top! Yay!" 77th generation understudy. The youngest understudy, the shortest, very energetic… to be honest, she’s a bit like a feral child. Always gives people strange nicknames, but they rarely stick. She’s Kanata’s younger sister, and loves her older sister very much. She likes meatballs, spaghetti and meat sauce, and 2 liters of soy milk a day!

Kumi Yagami

Chieri Sono

Utama

Female · Umur 13

Height: 161 cm The daughter of a corporate CEO who introduces Nagisa and her friends to AKB when they are younger, and four years later runs away from her father to audition for AKB. Initially, Chieri displays a cool and serious personality, but later becomes more outgoing and friendly. She is very dedicated and passionate about AKB, and never hesitates to put herself at risk for the sake of her friends. Chieri is the first understudy to be accompanied by a Kirara, a small creature that glows whenever it detects the presence of idol radiance, though at first only seems to glow when Nagisa is with her, making Chieri feel inferior to Nagisa until the kirara finally glows for her alone in the last episode of the first season. Yuuko Oshima sees Chieri as a rival for the Center Nova position, and after the New General Election, in which Chieri ranks 6th, Nagisa considers her a rival as well.

Mayu Watanabe

Nagisa Motomiya

Utama

Female · Umur 13

Height: 156 cm Quote: "Even if I trip and fall, I’ll show them my spirit!" 77th generation understudy. Absentminded at times, but steady in her love for 0048. Yuuka often scolds her for not taking things seriously enough. Not that great at singing, but she’s been improving since becoming an understudy. She likes tomatoes and anything her mother makes.

Karen Iwata

Makoto Yokomizo

Utama

Female · Umur 16

Height: 155 cm Quote: "Negative dash!! Let me show you the true Makoto!" [it's a pun on her name: "makoto" = "true"] 77th generation understudy. A coward. The kind of person who gets on a plane and can’t stop worrying if it will crash. Loves 0048, but a bit intimidated by the thought of becoming a member herself. She’s sensitive about her unimpressive physique, and wishes she’d grow some more feminine curves. She likes hamburger steak, cake, and shrimp.

She stood out among the members due to her upbeat and funny personality of making weird faces as well as her notorious "30-year-old man" mindset of wanting to touch the members' boobs and butts. In 2009, she won the center of AKB48 through popular vote, beating Maeda Atsuko. Distinguished by her quick and exaggerated dance moves. Open and friendly with anyone. Dynamic in battle, and as agile as a squirrel. When she’s among the other members, she engages in sexual harassment like a perverted old man, but it’s just how she shows her affection. In episode 8 of AKB0048 Second Stage:

Despite being an idol, her abs are toned and she’s athletic. If only she made working out a private matter—she tries to force the other members to work out as well. The kind of person you could easily imagine in a determined pose with a raised fist.
