THE iDOLM@STER Character resumé

"ALWAYS 200% ENERGETIC!!
The root of all energy is of course to eat a healthy breakfast! You'll be even more healthier eating more every passing day! I'll aim towards the top as the most energetic and powerful idol!"

THE iDOLM@STER 2 Yayoi's Introduction

Nice to meet you! I'm Takatsuki Yayoi, 14 years old, and um, I'm a new IDOL! Huh? What is it, Otonashi-san? I was too loud and the recording could be ruined? I'M SORRY!! Um, well, I'm always energetically working hard like this, even though I don't get that much work... But still, my dream is to become a wonderful idol who can give energy to everyone! My singing and dancing still aren't that good yet, but I'm going to give it my all in practicing from now on! Looking forward to working with you!

THE iDOLM@STER SHINY FESTA Idol Profile

Full of life, and full of love!
"Uu-uuu! Going to this dream-like island is... like a dream! I'm gonna try really, really hard, so that everyone has a great time!"

Personality

Yayoi Takatsuki, 13 years old, is very energetic, optimistic, and hyperactive at all times. Her strong will and optimistic traits are perfect for being an idol, though she frequently speaks too loud and sometimes can't control herself so that she is often hushed or punished by others, especially during school. She is also not the smartest of girls, hence the reason why she has low grades in school.

Yayoi loves to be of use and of help to others, doing housework and cleaning in the 765 Production building. She is also a good cook and prepares dinner and breakfast for her siblings when her parents are away from work.

Her family consists of herself, her father and mother, and her four siblings. Being the oldest of the five children, she looks out for her brothers and sisters and is very protective and fond of them, playing baseball with her brothers on her days off. She is closest to her younger sister Kasumi (霞).

Because of her father's unstable occupational status, her family is considered to be poor, and thus Yayoi often wears plain or baggy clothing and is living in a small house. Yayoi is also very frugal and self-conscious when it comes to finance; she occasionally asks the Producer to lend her money. Yayoi is said to never be good at video games. If she feels like she spent money on something useless, even down to just 10 yen, she will become extremely depressed and can stay in bed for days with her regrets haunting her.

Game Discography

THE iDOLM@STER

Yayoi has long, reddish-brown hair which she keeps back in two twintails using scrunchies. She usually wears a long-sleeved orange shirt, a short denim skirt, and her frog wallet (Berochoro) that she wears around her neck.

THE iDOLM@STER SP

THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars

In THE iDOLM@STER Dearly Stars, Yayoi is known to have monstrous stamina and is able to dance on stage for hours without taking a single break.

THE iDOLM@STER 2

Yayoi keeps most of her First Vision clothes consistent. Her look has been updated by her jacket getting a more intricate design with green plaid accents. Her scrunchies also changed, as each section is a different color that changes depending on the costume she wears.

Trivia and Fan Culture

Trivia

Yayoi has a fear of heights, to the point of screaming and crying for help when trying to look down at the ground (even when on an airplane).

Even though Yayoi is a very cheerful and optimistic girl, when angered (which almost never happens except with Hibiki and her younger brother) she is extremely ferocious and violent, though when it comes to Producer she refrains from yelling due to being scolded in return.

Alhough Yayoi dislikes wasting money, she loves to eat. If she can, she often goes for seconds or even thirds during breakfast and dinner. Despite this, she is surprisingly not selfish and loves to share her food with others.

If Yayoi comes across a vending machine, she will dig in the change slot or under the machine, searching for spare change.

Yayoi is best friends with Iori, but it isn't explained how she and Iori became friends, or how they first met

Fan Culture

Yayoi likes to high-five occasionally, which she calls "Hi-touch" due to Japan using the latter. Sometimes Producer's perverted streak will result in him touching her chest, thus coining the term "Pai-touch".

Many fans like to criticize Yayoi's gullibility and naivety, something called やよいじめ (Yayoijime, やよいじめ) (Bullyayoi), and will frequently bully Yayoi and act mean towards her, being clueless she becomes completely submissive to Producer's will.
