THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Self-Introduction

Character Description
Kanako is a soft-spoken, sweet girl with a passion for baking and desserts. Initially, she doesn't consider herself idol material because of her body image and low self esteem. She has a complex about her weight, even though she's just a bit thicker than the other girls. As her card levels up she slowly loses weight (2 cm from the waist), making her torso slightly smaller in the accompanying artwork. She is really good at making candies and sugary pastries, but it becomes a problem as she often eats the confectioneries she makes. She likes hair accessories, particularly those that feature flowers.
Although she was attractive even before becoming an idol, Kanako is self-conscious about her weight. Her most recent card illustrations have been featuring outfits that show her midriff, to show the confidence she's gained since losing weight as an idol. Interestingly, Chieri Ogata points out that she should be proud of her bust size on the Cute Jewelries 02 drama track. Kanako is so focused on her waistline, that she barely give any regard to her sizeable chest.
Deremail Questions | ||

Originally posted 11/14/2020. Translation source. | ||
Kanako: Hello, Mimura Kanako here! Today, I'll be answering some of the questions you sent in. | ||
Question: I've been making pancakes at home a lot lately. What topping do you recommend for it? | ||
Kanako: Honey, butter, fruits, whipped cream and cream cheese. Also jam and nuts! It goes well with everything. | ||
Kanako: This is quite a difficult question... but if I were to recommend one thing, I think it has to be ice cream. It has different flavors. It also doesn't have the much calories. | ||
Question: If the world will end tomorrow, what would like to be your last meal? | ||
Kanako: Hmm, this is also a difficult question... End of the world, huh. I wonder what should I pick... There are so many I'd like to eat. | ||
Kanako: Crepes, cupcakes... There's also those from the stores whose food I haven't tried yet. I'd also want to make some of my own. | ||
Kanako: Oh, but it'd be really better to eat with some company. In that case, well... | ||
Kanako: Let's see... I can't just pick so I really don't want the world to end! Would that answer suffice? Ehehe | ||
Question: 'So, what's the trick in catching marshmallows? | ||
Kanako: I wonder if there was even one. I was just thinking of eating them so there might not be some sort of technique to it. | ||
Kanako: But, what to keep in mind... is that instinct that tells you where you should be at, I guess. "It will always be at this spot." Kinda like your "home position". | ||
Kanako: With that said, please try to remember this when you try to give marshmallow catching a shot. | ||
Kanako: We don't have any time so that will be it for now. We'll be waiting for your letters! |
