Reika Kitakami

Reika Kitakami is one of the new idols introduced in THE iDOLM@STER: Million Live! series. She is voiced by Emi Hirayama.

Appearance
Reika has long, aegean-colored hair which is always seen in two low twintails, usually covering her ears. She has hazel eyes and a friendly aura. Her casual attire consists of simple, bright clothing, fitting her carefree nature.

Personality
Reika's personality can only be described as free-spirited and childish. She often comes up with weird ideas like giving the Producer a dried fish flavored chocolate on Valentine's Day, because it's also Dried Fish Day in Japan. She praises the Producer in ways that are hard to take as compliments. For example, she called the Producer a normal person who looks a bit unreliable, but she truly meant it as a compliment, since it makes her feel more comfortable around him. She often takes actions that surprise others, such as choosing a plastic trumpet as a Christmas gift for her parents, mistaking a deer for a bird, or using a dishwashing gel to clean the bathroom. Nevertheless, she always means well. In short, she's a kind-hearted person who loves to see people smile, but possesses a unique way of viewing the world that can be hard for others to understand.
