Hibiki Ganaha

A smile as bight as the Okinawan sun and an attitude as crisp as a clear, blue sky!"Top idol, huh? We can definitely work it all out if you go with the perfection that is Hibiki!" Kotori's Memo: "A cheerful and energetic girl from the southern reaches. She's an especially adept dancer." Hailing from Okinawa, Hibiki Ganaha is an energetic girl with a deep love for animals. Hibiki is incredibly confident and optimistic, going as far as to describe herself as being perfect in her iDOLM@STER 2 character intro. While she often takes rivalries with other idols seriously, she has a very friendly nature and will often unconsciously make friends with others as a result. Her high energy level makes her an exceptional athlete, formerly being the head of her table tennis club in Okinawa, although she prefers indoors sports as a result of being sensitive to the heat. In SP, she's been considered the "Dance Master" of 961 Production, which would continue into 765 Production, where she has the highest Dance stat of all playable idols in One For All. Hibiki joined 765 Production following a fight with her brother, which caused her to cut herself off from her family until she could help finance them by becoming Top Idol. Her family consists of her mother and her brother, who is described as being incredibly similar to the Producer. Hibiki's family is incredibly important to her, which includes the wide variety of animals she raises all by herself (see below). Being away from her family can often make her homesick, which causes her to appreciate the connections she has with her pets, her fellow idols, and her Producer. During her time working under Kuroi he would forbid her from talking to anyone not working under 961, leading to her be extreme homesick. While often marketed as a cool, dancing prodigy, she's rather gullible, evidenced by her willingness to believe President Kuroi's numerous lies at face value of the course of SP. Additionally, she's easily teased as well, evidenced by her interactions with other idols, particularly often via skits in radio shows. Her Okinawan heritage is extremely important to her and is often represented through her speech. Hibiki will often use words that confuse those unaware of the Okinawa dialect, such as greeting others with "Haisai" ("Hello!") and reassuring others with "Nankurunaisa!" ("Everything will work itself out!"). Hibiki has also been shown to be great at both housework and cooking meals, with Okinawan dishes such as chanpuru and somin-tashiya being among some of her specialities. Her hospitality has been expanded upon in the Puchimasu! manga series, where she'll occasionally don Kotori Otonashi's clothing and help around the agency. Hibiki loves animals and owns a wide variety of pets: Hamuzou has appeared in many episodes of THE iDOLM@STER anime, often sitting on Hibiki's head or running around the office. He is a male hamster, constantly getting lost having Hibiki have to try find him. She carries Hamuzou around even bringing him to the idols office. Inumi is Hibiki's Saint Bernard, she is large, and scares the Producer a bit. Waniko is her female alligator, it likes to sneak around usually scaring people, unfortunately for them sudden movements might lead in a bite, but luckily she soon let the bite go and don't do with intent to kill or eat, Hibiki calls such harsh attack "she's just flirting", Waniko is usually docile. Nekokichi is her cat, it usually goes out and disappears Butata according to Hibiki is a mini pig andvery smart, he likes to headbutt She also has a snake named Hebika, a chimpmunk named Shimao, a parrot named Ousuke, a flying squirrel Momojirou, a rabbit named Usae and a recently adopted Frill Necked Lizard named Tokarou, with many of these animals living at her home it may seem rather chaotic for others. Hibiki is very gullible in some sense, she used to believe anything that President Kuroi says, thinking that the 765 producer was a pervert and evil person (As Kuroi would lie to her). She takes rivalry seriously and used to harshly trash talks at other idols. Despite this, she has a very friendly nature, and sometimes she unconsciously tries to make friends with the 765 Producer and his idols, though when remembering Kuroi's accusations, she snaps out of it and runs away. She was known as the 961 Production "Dance master". She is one of the members of Project Fairy and shares the image song "Overmaster" with her fellow members. Hibiki's relations with certain idols are different than other games. For instance, Hibiki is very fond of Yayoi Takatsuki, who she thinks is very cute. Hibiki is always latching onto her, comparing her to a hamster and giving her Okinawan food. She always arrives at the scene when Yayoi is in trouble, even if it means to step inside 765 Production. Another example is Miki Hoshii, who she gets along with very well. The duo loves to play pranks on Takane Shijou. Hibiki dislikes wearing Cute and Girly outfits. Hibiki loses her pets almost all the time, thus asking for help from Takane Shijou and Miki Hoshii to look for them. Other idols help her as well and even the Producer, despite in past she refusing to accept their aid. Hibiki is a crybaby, usually being the only or one of the first to cry in dramatic and even comedic scenes such as in the movie, or when she loses her pets in the anime and dramas. Hibiki is a young 16 year, skinny and pale girl of a small bust, she has a huge dark blue hair she ties in a big ponytail that reaches up to her hips, her eyes are cyan blue, her mouth has a small fang visible any time she smiles or opens her mouth.
