Kanako Mimura

Kanako Mimura is one of the characters available in THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls and THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage. She is voiced by Yuka Ohtsubo. Kanako is a soft-spoken, sweet girl with a passion for baking and desserts. Initially, she doesn't consider herself idol material because of her body image and low self esteem. She has a complex about her weight, even though she's just a bit thicker than the other girls. As her card levels up she slowly loses weight (2 cm from the waist), making her torso slightly smaller in the accompanying artwork. She is really good at making candies and sugary pastries, but it becomes a problem as she often eats the confectioneries she makes. She likes hair accessories, particularly those that feature flowers. Although she was attractive even before becoming an idol, Kanako is self-conscious about her weight. Her most recent card illustrations have been featuring outfits that show her midriff, to show the confidence she's gained since losing weight as an idol. Interestingly, Chieri Ogata points out that she should be proud of her bust size on the Cute Jewelries 02 drama track. Kanako is so focused on her waistline, that she barely give any regard to her sizeable chest.
