THE iDOLM@STER 2 Official Web Profile[1]
Humph! Becoming a top idol is no match for me!
"I'm Ganaha Hibiki! I'm from Okinawa and 16 years old!
I'm not very popular right now but, well... nankurunaisa!
If you choose to aim for top idol with me, then my singing, looks, and perfectness are going to take us there fast, I think!
I look forward to workin' with you!"
THE iDOLM@STER 2 Introduction[2]
An energetic girl from Okinawa. She puts on a positive attitude brimming with self-confidence, but she may be overly dependent on the company of others for it.
"Haisai! I'm Ganaha Hibiki, and I'm 16 this year. I made my debut not long ago in Okinawa Prefecture, where I'm from! I think the best thing about me is...my motivation! I always act on any good idea the moment it hits me! What else... I'd say my body's in pretty good shape too! My hobbies are... Well, I like knitting, and table tennis I guess... Oh! I got all kinds of things I can cook really well too! You'd kill for my sunny side up or boiled eggs! There are still a lot of things that I have trouble with here on the mainland, but I don't really mind; I just gotta keep working at it! I do all my idol work full-throttle, so you better keep up with me! Think positive! Nankurunaisa!"
THE iDOLM@STER SHINY FESTA Idol Profile
The island girl, on home turf!
"Haisai! My shows are always perfect, but this time, I think they're gonna be more perfect than ever! Maybe it's because my hometown is nearby! Ahh, I can't wait to start singing and dancing in the sunshine, and having fun with everyone!"
THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! Online Character Profile
"Haisai! If you want perfect dancing or singing, just leave it to me!"
THE iDOLM@STER ONE FOR ALL Idol Profile[3]
A smile as bight as the Okinawan sun and an attitude as crisp as a clear, blue sky!
"Top idol, huh? We can definitely work it all out if you go with the perfection that is Hibiki!"
Kotori's Memo:
"A cheerful and energetic girl from the southern reaches. She's an especially adept dancer."
Personality
Hibiki Ganaha, an energetic idol (almost being equal to Yayoi Takatsuki in that respect) that comes from Okinawa (which explains her tan skin). Because she is from Okinawa, she sometimes can't control her dialect, and often uses words that confuse people, for example "Nankurunaisa" (we can work it all out) and "Haisai" (hi there). She takes rivalry seriously, but she has a very friendly nature, and sometimes she unconsciously tries to make friends with others. Hibiki is also known to be extremely talented in dancing. She is revealed to have come alone from Okinawa to become an idol. She feels lonely and sees in the Producer her absent older brother, so she does the "we are siblings that argue a lot but deep inside we love each other" routine with him.
Animals
Hibiki loves animals and owns a wide variety of pets:
Species | Name | Romaji | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Hamster | ハム蔵 | "Hamuzou" | Hamuzou has appeared in many episodes of THE iDOLM@STER (anime), often sitting on Hibiki's head or running around the office. He is a male, and is voiced by Eriko Nakamura. |
Snake | へび香 | "Hebika" | |
Chipmunk | シマ男 | "Shimao" | |
Parrot | オウ助 | "Ousuke" | |
Rabbit | うさ江 | "Usae" | |
Cat | ねこ吉 | "Nekokichi" | |
Alligator | ワニ子 | "Waniko" | |
Pig | ブタ太 | "Butata" | |
Dog | いぬ美 | "Inumi" | Hibiki's Saint Bernard who played an important role in Episode 16 of THE iDOLM@STER (anime). She is large, and scares the Producer a bit in THE iDOLM@STER 2. |
Flying Squirrel | モモ次郎 | "Momojirou" | |
Chicken | コケ麿 | "Kokemaro" | It is apparently kept at parents' home in Okinawa. |
Frill Necked Lizard | "Tokarou" | A new addition to Hibiki's family in THE iDOLM@STER 2. Found at a pet store, he is bought because he "looked lonely" to Hibiki. |
Game Discography
THE iDOLM@STER (Arcade) Prototype
In the prototype version of the arcade game, Hibiki was meant to be from Kansai, Nara. Hibiki was also 16 years old in the prototype, with the blood type B. However, she and Takane Shijou were ultimately cut from the official release.
THE iDOLM@STER SP
The release of the "Perfect Sun" game marked the first official in game appearance of Hibiki, revived from her original arcade design as a rival idol from 961 Production. Hibiki is very gullible in some sense, believing anything that President Kuroi says. She takes rivalry seriously and harshly trash talks at other idols, especially those from 765 Production. Despite this, she has a very friendly nature, and sometimes she unconsciously tries to make friends with the 765 Producer and his idols, though when remembering Kuroi's accusations, she snaps out of it and runs away. She is known as the 961 Production "Dance master". She is one of the members of Project Fairy and shares the image song "Overmaster" with her fellow members.
Hibiki's relations with certain idols are different than other games. For instance, Hibiki is very fond of Yayoi Takatsuki, who she thinks is very cute. Hibiki is always latching onto her, comparing her to a hamster and giving her Okinawan food. She always arrives at the scene when Yayoi is in trouble, even if it means to step inside 765 Production. Another example is Miki Hoshii, who she gets along with very well. The duo loves to play pranks on Takane Shijou.
THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars
In THE iDOLM@STER 2nd Vision games, Hibiki is an idol at 765 Production. She maintains her friendly, energetic personality, but now gets along well with the other idols.
In THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars, Hibiki was able to see through Ryo Akizuki's disguise as a female in a split second due to his makeup. She then called him pretty and promised to keep his secret.
THE iDOLM@STER 2
Her story focuses on her attempts to learn things she never had to put up with in Okinawa and her relationships with her family. Hibiki came to 765 Production after cutting herself off completely from Okinawa. She believes that she can't go back home until she becomes Top Idol, especially since she's been supporting her family financially. Her father died when she was young, and money has since been tight. It's up to the Producer to act as Hibiki's guardian while away from home. She gets homesick and lonely often (especially when reminded by objects she obtained in Okinawa, like "Sanpin Tea").[4]
In addition, Hibiki never got the chance to learn about basic Japanese protocol, so the Producer also helps her adjust to her surroundings. Several problems arise in the fact that her knowledge base is limited by many factors, like the fact that she had never read a magazine before she came to work as an idol due to the fact that there weren't magazines where she lived or that she believed that salad oil was made by squeezing salad. Her living conditions proved to be a problem as well, as Hibiki gets lost on trains, simply because she hadn't ridden one before her idol debut.[5]
Despite her limitations, Hibiki is eager to learn all she can and become a Top Idol for her family. In fact, her eagerness to help out culminated in her teaching and quizzing the Producer on Okinawan phrases so that they could learn more about each other.[6]
THE iDOLM@STER: Gravure For You!
Volume 7 of the Gravure series focuses on Hibiki with a "Meet Your Idol" sequence that contains a small dialogue between her and the producer about her study habits.[7]
This volume also contains the HIBIKI TurquoiseBlueMIX; a mix of songs with Hibiki's vocals that can be played in the background while taking photos of the idols.

THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls
THE iDOLM@STER SHINY FESTA
In THE iDOLM@STER SHINY FESTA, Hibiki gets to go to the Shiny Festa together with the Futami Twins, Yayoi Takatsuki and Iori Minase. She's as energetic as ever as the sandy beaches reminds of her home and she believes that the group will become "Star of Festa", no matter what!

THE iDOLM@STER Break!
Puchimasu!
In Puchimasu!, as the other idols start finding puchidols that they take care of, Hibiki starts to feel somewhat jealous and wants one of her own. Takane hears her request and quickly summons Koami and Komami and tells them to fetch something. The two puchidols come back with a sack containing a new puchi that looks just like a small version of Hibiki, but Hibiki thinks they have overdone it by getting the little one there against her will and now wants to take her back to where she came from. With some help from Miurasan's teleportation powers, they arrive in a Brazil-like place which according to Takane is the puchidols home, but the puchidol denies the statement and explains that she's actually from Okinawa. Hibiki now realizes that Takane lied to her, but as soon as she confronts her, Takane teleports away with Miurasan.
After some wandering around, Hibiki stumbles onto Iori who's in the foreign land for a shoot, and they agree to all go home together as soon as she is finished. While she and the puchidol are waiting for Iori's shoot to finish, the puchi tells her that she would like to live with her in Japan. Hibiki happily accepts and names the puchidol "Chibiki" in the process.

THE iDOLM@STER 2: The world is all one!!
