Biographies
THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls Self-Introduction
"I'm Sae Kobayakawa. I wish to become a wonderful idol, so will you please look after me? It's very nice to meet you."
THE iDOLM@STER POPLINKS Profile Quote
"My name is Sae Kobayakawa. My… there are so many people here… Looks like something interesting is about to happen."
Character Description
Hailing from Kyoto, the old capital of Japan, Sae is a Yamato Nadeshiko through and through. Raised in a strict and very traditional family, she carries herself with grace and dignity. Due to her strict family, she became an idol to learn more about the world outside of her sheltered upbringing. She ends her sentences with "dosue" and uses the honorific "-han". While being a traditional girl, she actually has a somewhat devilish, coy side to her.
Due to being from Kyoto, Sae lives in the dormitories offered by the production. She enjoys tea and vanilla ice cream topped with black honey. Sae is also quite insightful: she is able to suspect that something isn't quite right with Mayu Sakuma, correctly guessing that she's obsessed with the Producer.

Sae: Hello. This is Kobayakawa Sae. I'm really grateful for the many letters you sent in. | ||
Question: Please share some spots you'd recommend one go to when in Kyoto! | ||
Sae: It makes me happy that you're interested about Kyoto. I would say that every place in Kyoto is great but... Let me think... #DereMail | ||
Sae: I guess it has to be around Gion. I've always been going there even when I was young. I have so many memories there. | ||
Sae: Also, if you want to see famous temples or you're going this season, Arashiyama would also be nice. | ||
Question: Don't you feel lonely living in a dorm? How have you been spending your time lately with your friends? | ||
Sae: I don't feel lonely at all. Although, there are times that I remember my parents and feel that way... #DereMail | ||
Sae: I also have my fellow idols at the dorm. It's always festive here whether during meal times and bath times so I don't have much time to feel lonely. | ||
Sae: We've also been playing some board games lately. I'm good when it comes to rolling dices. | ||
Sae: While the games I play here are different from the ones I play at home, each and every passing day is a brand new experience. And I'm really having fun doing so. | ||
Sae: That is all the time I have for replying to your letters. Thank you so much for spending this time with me. I hope we see each other again. |

Trivia
- Sae is voiced as of February 28, 2014 through [Elegant Maid] SR card in the original Mobage game, prior to her CINDERELLA MASTER release.
