Biographies

THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Self-Introduction

"Heheh♪ If you leave it to this genius girl then even machines could obtain life! Huh? Idol? Interesting, this could be my chance to show my talent to the world! Okay then Producer, if you're good, I'll make you my assistant!"

THE iDOLM@STER POPLINKS Profile Quote

"I'm the genius idol Akiha Ikebukuro! Fufu, if you have any problems, just tell me the thing. I'll solve them with my robot!"

Character Description

Akiha is a 14-year old prodigy with a natural talent for robotics. Considered a genius, she often is seen tinkering and building machines and robots. Akiha has a habit of equipping her robots with a huge array of functions totally irrelevant to what they were made for in the first place.

In the tie in Cinderella Girls Theater skits, Akiha’s robotics prowess is on full display. She appears to be very reverent of Ritsuko Akizuki and is close friends with Yoriko Furusawa. Her enthusiasm for robots and creative energy allow her to make creations on the spot, albeit with a single track mind. Some of the various inventions she has created are hinabots (robots based on dolls), crepe making robots, and a specialized cheering megaphone.

Deremail Questions
Originally posted 10/29/2021. Translation source.
Akiha: Hello, everyone. It is I, Ikebukuro Akiha! And today, I will be the one who'll be answering the DereMail!
Question: If you are able to create a time machine, what would you like to do with it?
Akiha: First of all, I'll go to the past! I would like to meet those famous historical figures and I want to see the dinosaurs! As for what robot I'll bring along with me... guess that's out of the question. #DereMail
Akiha: Also, there's this one person I want to meet back in my childhood. That particular moment that made the biggest impression on me which gave birth to my determination to build robots.
Akiha: “And I want to see what the future looks like with my own eyes!” is what I'd like to say... But, I'm curious about it, so maybe a peek won't hurt?
Question: For a robot transformation and combination, should it have it due to aesthetic merits while serving a practical purpose, or should it have it because it is what excites the spirit and sense of adventure?
Question: By the way, I'm on the side of “Because coolness is important!”
Akiha: I very much agree with your thoughts. After all, robots themselves evoke those dreams and sense of romanticism.
Akiha: Of course, having aesthetic merits while serving a practical purpose is a great notion. However!
Akiha: Giving a tangible form to dreams is what robotics is all about! There is no such thing as a function that serves no purpose for a robot!
