Iku Nakatani

Iku Nakatani is one of the new idols introduced in THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! series. She is voiced by Akari Harashima.

Personality
The youngest among the 765 Production's idols, don’t say that to her though, since Iku hates to be treated like a kid.

Iku is quite a precocious child; she is confident that she can do any work without any help from the Producer and she always wants to know the details of her lesson. She is still a child nonetheless, as she's happy when she does work she likes, cries when she's frustrated and becomes really happy when her mother praises her. A lot of her dialogue also shows that Iku is still very much childish, no matter how mature she tries to act.

Etymology
