Minori is an optimistic, hard-working girl who has shown her determination and dedication to becoming an idol, something others often compliment her on. She has a kind heart and tries to be considerate of others. However, she is also clumsy, tends to get panicked easily, and often has trouble keeping her composure. This is accompanied by her habit of saying whatever's on her mind, and she seems to find it easy to express her emotions without restraint, purposefully or not. Despite her clumsiness, she is extremely disciplined, both in idol training and in her habit of daily writing.[3] She looks up to many of her friends and classmates and aspires to be like them. As she grows as both a person and an upcoming idol, she desires to bring the happiness that Haruka used to feel as an idol before retirement. Although it may not seem like so upon first meeting her, she is an empathetic and emotionally mature young girl. She has a habit of repeating the phrase "more and more"
boundless enthusiasm, earnest sincerity, and a fast-paced, flustered energy
When Minori was a child, she would often have bad luck. After one particular day, when she dropped the baton during a race at school, Minori stayed home out of guilt and fear that her classmates would be angry at her. She then saw Haruka from ASRUN, singing solo on TV. Minori was encouraged by Haruka's words that "Tomorrow will always be a better day", and has been a fan of Haruka ever since. Like her longtime inspiration, Minori also set her sights on becoming an idol. She has tried her hand at over 50 auditions, but failed every single one. Despite this, she never gave up and continued to try in order to achieve her dream. While practicing on her school's roof, she met Haruka, who, along with Airi and Shizuku, help her train to become a fully fledged idol. Thanks to Minori's positive and hardworking nature, she inspires hope in the other former idols and they form MORE MORE JUMP! together.[1] Minori has a younger brother who is currently in elementary school.[2] She also owns a pet
