Honoka Kousaka

Honoka Kosaka is the primary protagonist of Love Live!. She is a second year in Otonokizaka High School. Her image color is orange, though she is often represented with pink. She is also the leader of Printemps, a sub-unit under µ's and the leader and co-founder of the group itself. Her solo album is called Honnori Honokairo!. Honoka is an optimist who is never afraid to take risks. She is always in a good mood and likes to look at the bright side of things. She is determined and once her mind is set on something, nothing can stop her. This is believed to be the driving force behind μ's formation and success. But because of her persistent personality, she often overexerts herself. Her personality is similar to Rin Hoshizora's because they are both determined and hard-working. For example, in Season 1 Episode 7, Honoka, Rin and Nico Yazawa had to work hard to pass exams in order to enter Love Live!, and are known as the 'Three Idiots'. She likes to eat bread, but she does not enjoy eating red bean or white bean paste despite working at her family's Japanese sweets shop.
