**Height:** 156 cm **Hometown:** Tottori Prefecture, Japan Born under an unlucky star, Hotaru is a girl who suffers from endless bad luck and misfortune. She is quite aware of her negative karma, and worries she's responsible for all the bad things that happen around her. Because she thinks her bad luck can impact nearby people, she apologizes for the misfortune others have in her presence. Everything in life seems to be rigged against her, except being an idol. No matter how bad things become, she always hopes it will get better. She firmly believes that a lot of work and dedication will allow her to work herself into a good place. Hotaru buys several good luck charms and considers the Producer to be this for her as well. Despite her young age, Hotaru shows some mature quality, as noted by Momoka Sakurai in the Shiawase no Rule event in Starlight Stage.
