The hugely popular idol training game "IDOLiSH7" has been adapted into an anime, which has also been met with rave reviews. The high-quality songs and intriguing storylines have attracted attention for a variety of reasons beyond just the characters' appeal. The main idol unit in "IDOLiSH7" is "IDOLiSH7." Their manager and protagonist of the story is IDOLiSH7's manager, Takanashi Tsumugi. In this article, we'll introduce Takanashi Tsumugi. She's a very cute protagonist, but what kind of character is she? Let's take a look.
The Protagonist! What kind of character is Takanashi Tsumugi?
"Takanashi Tsumugi" is the protagonist of "Idolish Seven" and serves as the player's alter ego in the game. While her name can be changed in the game, her last name remains "Takanashi" throughout the game. She is the only daughter of Takanashi Otoharu, the president of the agency. Having lost her mother at a young age, Takanashi respects her father, who raised her alone. Wanting to quickly become independent and support her father, she joined the agency and became the manager of IDOLiSH7.
Working on a variety of projects!
In addition to managing "IDOLiSH7," Tsumugi Takanashi also handles production and website creation. Her skills as a manager are impressive, and she's highly regarded not only by IDOLiSH7 but also by TRIGGER.
So cute! Tsumugi Takanashi's Visual
Tsumugi Takanashi's visual is very cute. The protagonist, who is the player's alter ego, often has a collar or other visual that obscures her face to make it easier for players to empathize with the character. However, in Tsumugi Takanashi's case, her face is clearly visible and even appears in stills.
Visual
She has fluffy, wavy, whitish hair and bright eyes, making her a beautiful girl. She always wears a white blouse with a red ribbon. Her outfits are also cute.
Takanashi Tsumugi's father! Who is Takanashi Otoharu?
Takanashi Otoharu is the president of Takanashi Agency. He is 48 years old and the father of Takanashi Tsumugi. He is known for his always smiling face. He has a gentle personality and seems a bit absent-minded, but he works very diligently. He seems to have some connection with Yaotome Sosuke, the president of Yaotome Agency, to which TRIGGER belongs. Incidentally, his least favorite food is wasabi.
Who is his voice actor?
The voice actor is Susumu Chiba. Chiba's representative works include "Cutie Honey F" (Hayami Seiji), "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" (Nagoya Chiku/Phantom Thief Sinbad), and "Hikaru no Go" (Fujiwara Sai). Incidentally, Takanashi Tsumugi is voiced by Satomi Sato. This is only available in the TV anime.
What is the relationship between Takanashi Tsumugi and Yaotome Raku?
What exactly is the relationship between Tsumugi Takanashi and Raku Yaotome? Raku Yaotome is the leader of TRIGGER.
Raku Yaotome
The leader of TRIGGER. He is the son of Yaotome Sosuke, president of Yaotome Agency, which represents TRIGGER. At just 22 years old, he was voted "the man most wanted to sleep with." While he portrays a cool character during his idol career, he is actually caring, compassionate, and passionate. He struggles with the conflict of having to market himself as a character that is different from his true self.
What is their relationship?
What kind of relationship do Takanashi Tsumugi and Yaotome Raku have? Yaotome Raku has often expressed concern for Takanashi Tsumugi. The two's first meeting was quite shocking. The woman Yaotome Sosuke once loved was none other than Tsumugi's mother. When Sosuke sees Tsumugi's face for the first time, he mutters "Yui" (meaning "Musubi"), Tsumugi's mother's name. He bumps into Yaotome Raku. At first, Raku thinks his father is having an affair with his mistress, but he later learns that she is the manager of IDOLiSH7. It's quite shocking, but this is how the two first met in the story.
Does Raku love Tsumugi?
Now, the question that arises is what will happen to their relationship after this! As for whether Raku likes Tsumugi, it's safe to say he's quite fond of her. Throughout the story, Raku is often seen flirting with Tsumugi. They even suggest they call each other by their first names, showing their deep affection for each other. However, Tsumugi is a bit naive, so his advances are always ignored. It seems that Raku's crush on Tsumugi is well-known, even to the other TRIGGER members. It will be interesting to see how their relationship develops!
Raku flirts as a soba noodle shop owner
In Part 2 of the main story, Yaotome Raku appears to be delivering soba noodles to the IDOLiSH7 dormitory as a simple soba noodle shop owner. At that moment, Raku asks Tsumugi, "Do you like Saotome Raku?" Of course, Tsumugi respects Raku both as a fan and as an idol, so she answers, "Yes," but Raku then presses her, saying, "A girl like you could probably win over Yaotome Raku, too." Here, he's acting not as Yaotome Raku, but as a soba restaurant employee, so he's pretty assertive.
But he gets turned down.
However, Tsumugi is a serious person, so she firmly replies, "I'm a popular idol, so there's no way I'd date someone from another agency." Raku doesn't give up, though, and continues to woo her, asking, "Then how about a regular soba restaurant?" "When are you free? I'll make time. I'll take you to your favorite place." "Why don't you spend time with me, Tsumugi? Sounds good?" He's pretty aggressive! Normally, Tsumugi would give in to such advances, but she's a serious person with a knack for ignoring things, so she turned him down, saying, "That kind of thing with someone I don't know that well is a bit..." Raku was rejected, but in fact, fellow TRIGGER member Ainana Kujo saw them...
Tsumugi Takanashi's voice actress is Satomi Sato
For the first time, Tsumugi Takanashi has been assigned a voice actress for her appearance in the TV anime. She is voiced by the popular voice actress Satomi Sato. Satomi Sato has played a variety of roles, but she's often known for her gentle, feminine roles. However, even among those roles, Tainaka Ritsu from "K-ON!" stands out as an exceptionally energetic character. Her work in "After School Tea Time" is perhaps one of her most well-known works.
Debuted in 2007
Satomi Sato has been active since 2007. Her debut work was "Kamichama Karin." After appearing in the fifth season of "GeGeGe no Kitaro" and the "Hell Girl" series, she was cast as Tainaka Ritsu in "K-ON!". In "K-ON!", she formed a band called "After School Tea Time" and, just like in the story, began her full-fledged band career. While Tainaka Ritsu is known for her drumming skills, Satomi Sato had never played the drums at the time, so it seems she was starting from scratch.
