Biographies
THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Self-Introduction
"Why in the world would ya make me an idol, Producer? Ya sure are ridiculous huh? Hey, this fellow will just tryna dismiss yer enthusiasm, y'know. That's why ya should exactly go to work!"
THE iDOLM@STER POPLINKS Profile Quote
"I'm Aya Kirino. A project for gathering idols here? Can't say I get it, but I can feel ya passion for it."
Character Description
Aya is a tomboyish girl from Fukuoka. She tends to be a bit aggressive in some areas, but Aya surprisingly gets excited when doing idol work and caring for others. She uses the very uncommon "atai" at first, but eventually changes to the more common and feminine "atashi" after progressing in idol work. Despite her brash attitude, she is actually very caring and affectionate, especially towards Kozue Yusa. In fact, this duo is known as Yousei to Onee-san. She also secretly likes collecting figures, letting nobody else but Kozue and fellow figure doll lover Yasuha Okazaki know her another hobby.
Apart from Red Ballad, Kozue and Yasuha, Aya is also friends with fellow 19 year-old idol Chinami Komuro (as the duo Night Diva), another 19 year-old idols Ibuki Komatsu and Shiho Makihara (as the trio Flamme Rouge), and fellow fighter Manami Kiba (as the duo Cheating Ordinary Persons (チートな一般人 Chiito na Ippanjin)).
The tie-in Cinderella Girls Theater skits depict her as a sporty and caring idol. In a sports event, Aya, along with Kana Imai and Marina, is witness of Uzuki's "extraordinarily ordinary" quirk, placing third overall. Prior to their live tour in Bali, Aya complained about Ibuki's sunburnt skin that may not look good on her idol attire. Aya has been caught in one of Yuki Himekawa’s baseball antics and playing with Kozue using a fan to distort their voices. When Kozue offered her some animal crackers, she admittedly felt bad for the cracker and didn’t know how to eat it without being brutal. In the end, she only talked with the cracker. Along with Rina Fujimoto, Mahiro Kitagawa and Tomoka Wakabayashi, Aya also saw the Producer go out with Makino Yagami for a parfait, which the four idols later followed and brought up to Makino the next day. During a bridal event, Umi Sugisaka suggested that Aya throw the bucket to the attendees (illustrated as the rest of Flamme Rouge). Aya has also been involved in a discussion for Tomo Fujii's bridal costume as well. When Koharu Koga practiced with a gymnastic bar, Aya commented about the young idol's difficulty due to lack of a tail in comparison to her pet lizard Hyou-kun. Aya landed the role of the Fist Diva in a tokusatsu-like event starring Sana Miyoshi.
