Minako Satake

Minako Satake is one of the new idols introduced in THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! series. She is voiced by Eri Ozeki.

Personality
Minako is a normal, cheerful and kindhearted girl who absolutely loves to take care of others and she is what most people (Producers) regard as perfect wife material. She's a great chef, since her home is a Chinese restaurant, and she can do all the housework. She is also quite open about her affection towards the Producer-- For example, she gave him the right to name their child as a Christmas gift. She speaks and acts as she and the producer have already planned to get married in the future. Coupled with the fact that she really loves to take care of those she likes, to say that it's her greatest joy in life might not be an exaggeration. Any man that marries her is pretty much guaranteed a happy married life...if he's fine with becoming fat, that is.

Minako prefers her men fat, really fat. Her reasoning is that a man must be strong to protect his family, and what kind of man is a strong man? A man with a large body! How can a man become large? By eating a lot of her food! Thus, she always plans to increase the Producer's weight for the sake of her future family's happiness by doing what she does best; cooking high-calorie foods (especially Chinese food) in large quantities. In fact, she often cooks enough food to feed a dozen people in one meal! She also tries to make the Producer avoid any physical activities because if he exercises, the calories will burn away. Her love for fat men might be the reason why she is good at playing the Grappler-type style in fighting games.

All in all, apart from the fact that she loves to feed great quantities of high calories food to anyone she likes (whether it be the Producer or her fellow idols), she tries her best to turn the Producer into her ideal man so that her future family can prosper.
