Biographies
Self-Introduction
"Alright, Producer-san, sing along with Arisa-sensei and Usako-chan...♪ ...T-That's no good? How strange, that seems to work very well with the children..."
Character Description
With her rabbit puppet, Usako-chan, Arisa is a nursery worker who has a sweet disposition and a love of children. Her friendly, teacher-like attitude carries over to how she treats her Producer. This demeanor tends to take over even when with other younger idols, as she doesn't like to destroy the illusion of Usako-chan being alive. While Arisa's earlier appearances almost never showed her without her puppet, she has since begun to appear on some cards without her. She has a verbal tic “Usa”, which is the shortened form of the Japanese word for bunny, usagi. Arisa uses her ventriloquism to make it seem like her bunny puppet is saying the verbal tic, as if it's emphasizing what she's talking about.
In the tie in Cinderella Girls Theater skits, Arisa is shown as a friendly young woman who works often with children while using a hand puppet named Usako. She gives lessons to the younger idols, and will often try reach beyond their expectations. She takes care of the older idols when they go on a drinking spree, although she requires the help of Sarina Matsumoto when she becomes soused. When with other adult idols, Arisa is noted to have the mental and physical capabilities of both a child and adult by Reiko Takahashi. The oldest idol (talking with Usako) states that Arisa’s state of being is too vast to comprehend.

Trivia and Fan Culture
Fan Culture
- Arisa is called "God" by fans. "Sensei" is corrupted into "Tentei", which means "God of Heaven" or "Highest Deity" in Japanese. Her Halloween SR+ is often paired with this nickname because of the menacing and regal expression she has in that card. Arisa-Tentei is often portrayed as a last boss type character.
- Additionally, due to the fact that Arisa was not shown without Usako until 2014, fans developed many in-jokes about it. A semi-joke theory is that Arisa is actually the puppet and Usako is the real body. Another theory states that since Arisa's strongest SRs are without Usako, the bunny is some sort of power limiter.
