Character Description

Momoka is a young, elegant girl from a wealthy family. Due to her princess-like demeanor, she has a lady-like aura surrounding her. While Momoka tries to act older than she is, she is still just a young girl and enjoys things others her age enjoy. Despite insisting she be treated like a lady, she uses the childish honorific "-chama" when addressing the Producer. Momoka enjoys tea parties and takes them very seriously, inviting many of the idols to partake in them with her, especially when it comes to similarly elegant ladies such as Otoha and Yukino. Her favorite tea and drink is Rose Hip tea. She even has a flowery, rose motif, wearing many frilly flowery casual and stage outfits.

She enjoys teasing Nao, as she notes Nao chooses her clothes and costumes with the Producer in mind. Momoka also really likes the glasses Haruna gave her and enjoys selecting kimonos with friends. She holds the Producer in very high regard and shows that she will put herself on the line in order to show him that she cares about him.

Momoka is close friends with Arisu, starting from the Near to You event commu in Starlight Stage. Being the twelve-year-old Hyogo idols, both of them view each other as rivals, duking out who's the leader for the song (which belongs to Sanae instead). After numerous battle lessons, during the festival, Momoka thinks that Arisu is not just as a worthy rival, but also a dear friend with the same vision of becoming a better person. Ever since the Near to You event commu ended, Momoka will occasionally be seen with Arisu, both encouraging Nina face to face in order to come back as an idol after her father's departure, as well as going to the party to meet Fumika in the ending of the Illusionista! event commu.

Trivia and Fan Culture

Trivia

  • She was voiced as of the 17th episode of the anime, first aired on August 8th, 2015, as a surprise cameo voice idol.
  • She is considered to be the office's official "tsukkomi" character, according to the Hi-Fi☆Days event commu.[1]
  • Momoka shares the same birthday with Ranko Kanzaki and Aya Kirino.
  • She has two puppies first shown in Cinderella Girls' [Rose-Colored Bride] unawakened SR, and they also appear in Starlight Stage's [Fresh Spring Nostalgia] SSR; their names are Françoise and Catherine.
  • Every one of her image songs has a title that is a homage to works of French singing icon Édith Piaf.
  • She is the only Hyogo idol that explicitly states a specific city (Kobe, which is the capital city of Hyogo) instead of just the prefecture in her profile's hometown section.
  • The kanji "桃" (momo) in Momoka's given name means peach, and Momoka is the "peach" representative of MomoPearBerry, a tricolor unit consisting of fellow 12-year-old idols Risa (pear) and Arisu (strawberry).
  • She is the only Little Marching Band Girls member who has yet to receive her proper card set in the original Cinderella Girls, despite of her appearing in Starlight Stage version of the unit. As such, her marching band role is unknown.
  • In the U149 manga, instead of addressing the Producer with the honorific "-chama", she is either calls him "Producer" without any honorific or uses the "-san" honorific when referring to him.

Fan Culture

  • Because Momoka uses the honorific -chama to address the Producer, she is often called "Momoka-chama" or "Chama" by fans.
    • A specific fanbase even referred her as "Momoka-mama" due to her mother-like behavior.
  • Since her voiced appearance in the 2015 anime, Momoka is associated with (and bears an uncanny resemblance to) Char Aznable from the Mobile Suit Gundam anime series due to a certain video depicting her N card voice lines and Char's voicelines from the Super Robot Wars series as if they are having a conversation. Char is infamous for having love interests younger than him (Lalah Sune and Quess Paraya, specifically), and the fact that his last words in Char's Counterattack being "Lalah Sune was a woman who may have become a mother to me" solidifies this crack pairing between him and Momoka.
    • Coincidentally, Momoka's first solo's title shares the same name with a mobile docking ship named La Vie en Rose, from the Zeta Gundam series. Momoka also shares her first name with Momoka Yashiro, from the Gundam Build Divers series (in which her VA Haruka Terui became a role of the EL-Diver Sarah).
