Takatsuki Yayoi, full of energy, I'll do my best

She is a girl with bright orange hair and wavy twin tails. She mostly wears hoodies and sweatshirts, and her basic color is orange. She has a very lively personality, and when she is happy, she has many distinctive gestures, such as laughing "Uuuu" or saying "Hi, tachi" and doing a high-five. She also has a unique bow where she raises her arms straight back when bowing. She is always full of energy, so she always brightens up the office. She is the second youngest in the office, so she is a beloved character who is treated like a little sister by everyone.
Takatsuki Yayoi looks a little younger than her age

She's 14 years old and in her second year of junior high school, but her gestures and catchphrases, as mentioned above, still give her a sense of her youth. She is a bit lisping and has difficulty speaking English letters. She also has difficulty with difficult kanji characters, so she does not appear to have a high level of academic ability. When the producer asked her what her selling point was, she was not able to answer well as she did not know much about herself. She also does not understand makeup well, and even when she reads fashion magazines, she does not really understand the "charm of women," so she still has many childish aspects.
Is Takatsuki Yayoi actually a reliable person?
Leave all your household chores to us

Although she seems young and unreliable among the 765 Pro members, she is surprisingly reliable and thoughtful, as she willingly cleans the office and takes out the trash, and is good at shopping for sale items and bargains. In fact, her family is poor. Her father's job is unstable, and the family is poor with eight members, so both parents work. Because of this, Yayoi helps with the housework, and she does all the housework and takes care of her siblings. The reason she became an idol was because she wanted to support her family.
6 siblings!

Yayoi has a strong image as a younger sister character in 765 Pro, but she is actually the oldest of six siblings. As the eldest daughter, she takes care of her siblings while doing the housework at home. Since she has become busy with her work as an idol, she has also been helped by Chosuke (her second or third child?). However, when Chosuke makes his younger brother cry, she scolds him, becoming the reliable older sister she doesn't show at the agency. She cares deeply about her family, for example, when Chosuke runs out of the house after scolding him and doesn't come back. By the way, her siblings are the eldest daughter Yayoi, the eldest son Chosuke, the second daughter Kasumi (it is unclear which of Chosuke and Kasumi is older), the second son Kotaro, the third son Koji, and the fourth son Kozo.
Takatsuki Yayoi is not good at sports... but she tries her best

As an idol, she has no particular problems with singing, but she seems to be bad at dancing. Before their first All-Star Live, she and Yukiho had a hard time keeping up with the dance lessons. However, with everyone's encouragement, she worked hard and improved. After that, she didn't have any trouble with dancing, but when 765 Pro struggled during the inter-agency sports day, she almost gave up, thinking to herself that she was holding them back. Although she still seems to have a weak sense of athletic ability, she has plenty of stamina, helping out around the house while working as an idol.
Takatsuki Yayoi is loved by everyone

Yayoi has fans from a wide range of generations due to her honest and cheerful personality, but she is also popular in the agency. She talks a lot with Haruka and Iori in particular. Being the eldest daughter at home, she wanted an older sister figure she could depend on. She is loved by everyone except Haruka, and Chihaya and Hibiki dote on her. She is also good friends with Ami and Mami, the only ones younger than Yayoi. However, she also shows her older sister side by scolding Ami and Mami firmly when they are mischievous. She also looks up to the rich Iori, not because of money, but because she sees him as a reliable older sister who is a year older than her. Iori is also poor and cares about the slightly young Yayoi, and the two are good friends.
Yayoi Takatsuki's further leap

In addition to having her own regular programs, she is also expanding her range of activities on stage. Also, at the end of the movie, Ritsuko is leading the plan to form a unit with Hibiki and Mami. Yayoi is always cheerful and energetic, and everyone loves her like a little sister, but she is actually the older sister of six siblings, and is a reliable person who helps out around the house, so there is a big gap between her idol image and her everyday self. However, Yayoi's cheerful personality is honest, and it is precisely because of this that she attracts so many fans. I hope to see a different side of Yayoi in the new unit.
