Personality

Keke is a vibrant, fun-loving ball of energy who believes that passion and a bright smile are the keys to life. To her, nothing is impossible as long as you never give up—whether it’s becoming a school idol or chasing your dreams. In moments of stress or tension, she often remembers her mother’s wise (and sweet) advice: “When things heat up, cool down with something sweet.” This has undoubtedly fueled her love for desserts, as Keke firmly believes that a scoop of ice cream can melt away bad moods and even help patch things up between feuding friends.

Her favorite saying is, “There is no time like the present.”

Background

Keke is driven by a deep love for school idols, sparked by the inspiration she found in Sunny Passion. This passion motivated her bold move from Shanghai to Yuigaoka, ready to chase her dream. Keke’s determination to become a school idol while navigating life in Japan—a place that also holds her mother’s roots—is nothing short of courageous. Her journey is about embracing new experiences while striving to make her dreams a reality.

Keke’s flair for fashion sets her apart, giving her a knack for style that her friends genuinely appreciate. Whether it’s helping Kanon pick out an outfit or offering fashion advice, Keke’s sharp eye makes her an invaluable friend. Although she isn’t particularly keen on gym class and may not be the most athletic of the group, Keke brings her own strengths to the team, balancing out the group dynamic with her creativity and energy. Despite her aversion to anything sporty, her enthusiasm for school idols is where she truly shines, embodying her desire to make her dream a reality—in her own unique way.

Clubs and Hobbies

Keke, alongside Kanon, co-founded the school idol club at Yuigaoka, turning their shared dream into a reality. Together, they’ve created a space where their passion for school idols can thrive, inspiring others to join in the excitement.
