THE iDOLM@STER POPLINKS Profile Quote
Hello! Yayoi Takatsuki, 14 years old! As long I'm energetic, I don't think I'll lose to anyone.
Personality
Yayoi Takatsuki, 14 years old, is very energetic, and optimistic. Her strong will and optimistic traits are perfect for being an idol, though she frequently speaks too loud and sometimes can't control herself so that she is often hushed or punished by others, especially during school. She is also not the smartest of girls, hence the reason why she has low grades in school.
Yayoi loves to be of use and of help to others, doing housework and cleaning in the 765 Production building. She is also a good cook and prepares dinner and breakfast for her siblings when her parents are away from work.
Her family consists of herself, her father and mother, and her four siblings. Being the oldest of the five children, she looks out for her brothers and sisters and is very protective and fond of them, playing baseball with her brothers on her days off. She is closest to her younger sister Kasumi (霞).
Because of her father's unstable occupational status, her family is considered to be poor, and thus Yayoi often wears plain or baggy clothing and is living in a small house. Yayoi is also very frugal and self-conscious when it comes to finance; she occasionally asks the Producer to lend her money. Yayoi is said to never be good at video games. If she feels like she spent money on something useless, even down to just 10 yen, she will become extremely depressed and can stay in bed for days with her regrets haunting her.
Game Appearances
THE iDOLM@STER
Yayoi has long, reddish-brown hair which she keeps back in two twintails using scrunchies. She usually wears a long-sleeved orange shirt, a short denim skirt, and her frog wallet (Berochoro) that she wears around her neck.

Trivia and Fan Culture
Trivia
- According to the arcade version, her email address is high_touch@idolmaster.jp. This is her catchphrase.
- Yayoi has a fear of heights, to the point of screaming and crying for help when trying to look down at the ground (even when on an airplane).
- Even though Yayoi is a very cheerful and optimistic girl, when angered (which almost never happens except with Hibiki and her younger brother) she is extremely ferocious and violent, though when it comes to Producer she refrains from yelling due to being scolded in return.
- Although Yayoi dislikes wasting money, she loves to eat. If she can, she often goes for seconds or even thirds during breakfast and dinner. Despite this, she is surprisingly not selfish and loves to share her food with others.
- During times when her family doesn't have enough to eat, she will always prioritize her siblings and even her parents before herself.
- If Yayoi comes across a vending machine, she will dig in the change slot or under the machine, searching for spare change.
- Yayoi is best friends with Iori, but it isn't explained how she and Iori became friends, or how they first met.
- Yayoi is unexpectedly good at arm-wrestling (which is similar to Aki Yamato and Seiji Shingen), to the point she can beat the boys in her class. She also has extremely good eyesight.
- Her favorite food, Moyashi (もやし beansprouts), was also used for the Animate Cafe New Years' End 2020 collaboration's menu.
- She was appointed as the tourism ambassador for Takatsuki City in Osaka by The Takatsuki City Tourism Association on January 12th, 2022.
- She shares the same birthday with Noa Takamine and Nao Okamura.
Fan Culture
- Yayoi likes to high-five occasionally, which she calls "Hi-touch" due to Japan using the latter. Sometimes Producer's perverted streak will result in him touching her chest, thus coining the term "Pai-touch".
- Many fans like to criticize Yayoi's gullibility and naivety, something called やよいじめ (Yayoijime ) (Bullyayoi), and will frequently bully Yayoi and act mean towards her, being clueless she becomes completely submissive to Producer's will.
- Ever since her appointment as the Takatsuki City Tourism Ambassador, fans have embraced the city as a pilgrimage site for Yayoi.
- The Takatsuki City local bus lines have a few operating buses that are wrapped with Yayoi's Takatsuki City tourism ambassador dress.
- Takatsuki City also holds a special citywide celebration for Yayoi on her birthday.
- Yayoi fans will often eat at the Yayoi restaurant in Takatsuki as a pilgrimage stop.
- Yuuya Hirata, one of the current city council members of Takatsuki City, often tweets photos with Yayoi in various places around the city.
