Biographies
THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Self-Introduction
"Good effort today, guys!! …Wait, huh? Never seen you around before. Wait a sec… Could you be some kind of perv!? …I've got the wrong idea? …Huh, so you're an idol scout. But this area's off-limits to non-participants! Well, let's get out of here!"
Character Description
Kai is a young swimmer with an adventurous spirit. She hails from Osaka and is very passionate about swimming and idol work. Due to her love of swimming, a lot of her cards feature swimwear and aquatic themes. Kai could be considered one of the more tomboyish girls and is often depicted as the mood-maker type. In a few theater comics, She is shown to have a small friendly rivalry with Nagisa Aino, and the two compete to see who is more athletic. They are also part of a unit called Hot Art Jumpin' (ホットアートジャンピン ) along with Saki Yoshioka, these three are shown to interact in various media.
Kai first began swimming at a very young age, due to getting forced by her parents to take swimming lessons. She didn't quite enjoy it and was constantly urged to quit for good, however, during her childhood, her dad took her to an aquarium park for the first time and was amazed by the swimming sea animals she saw. Because of this experience, she later on came to the conclusion that swimming can make people smile, which is why she quickly regained interest and remained passionate about her hobby ever since. She also shows a big liking toward dolphins because of her love for aquarium parks and they're depicted in both her casual and stage outfits. Kai is also shown to sometimes speak before she thinks, making her seem like a bit of an airhead.
In the tie-in Cinderella Girls Theater skits, She encourages Mutsumi Ujiie to help her instigate dolphins to get splashed by them. Kai’s fashion sense has proved to be somewhat troublesome, as she doesn’t like skirts and has difficulty not wearing a swimsuit as her casual street clothes. She knows of Sanae Katagiri’s drinking habits and has trouble keeping up with Arisa Mochida’s enthusiasm on the beach.
