Hinomori Shizuku (
Background[]
Shizuku is the former leader of the idol group Cheerful＊Days, specifically its 3rd generation. Her friend applied to the position for her without Shizuku's knowledge, but she decided to go with it after passing their audition and being awarded as the "Grand Prix winner". She trained to become an idol at the same time as Airi, who openly viewed her as a rival.
Eventually, her agency forced her to act out the image of a "perfect idol", leading to her being known among the fans for her beautiful, mysterious, and mature appearance. However, this caused jealousy from the other members of her group, who were forced to constantly back her up, which eventually led to them thinking that she has no special talent and is only popular for her looks. Her groupmates' resentment towards Shizuku built up even more due to her hectic schedule and her inability to prioritize Cheerful＊Days' activities.[1][2]
One day, Shizuku meets Minori on the school rooftop, who she agrees to help train along with Airi. However, after increasing tensions in her idol group and an argument with Airi, she decides to leave Cheerful＊Days. Minori and Airi give her the hope to be an idol again, and after performing a show for Haruka in the Stage SEKAI, the four of them create MORE MORE JUMP!
Her mother is a koto instructor, and her father used to be the guitarist of a famous band.[3]
Shizuku is part of the Miyamasuzaka credit course alongside Airi.[4] As a second year, Shizuku was classmates with Airi in class 2-D, as well as a member of the beautification committee and archery club. She joined the archery club after being recommended to do so by a senior member of Cheerful＊Days.[5] As a third year, she is classmates with Airi in class 3-E, and a member of the health committee and archery club.
Appearance[]
Shizuku has light blue eyes with long eyelashes and long, light blue hair, worn loose and wavy, some of which covers her face. She has a beauty mark near the right corner of her lip. Her voice is light and airy.
Casual Outfit[]
For her casual outfit, Shizuku wears a white baggy top that show her shoulders with long sleeves that frill out at the end, buttons going down the middle, a long cutaway collar, tied together with a black belt on her hips. She also wears a long skirt with two layers; the lower layer being a pale, semi-transparent blue fabric, the top layer being a denim, also light blue with a sky blue stripe at the end. The skirt has three buttons. While training on the rooftop, she has a purple tank-top, a white cropped jacket that is mostly open, lavender shorts with thin white stripes at the bottom and black tights. Sometimes she'll tie her hair in a loose ponytail.
In her third year, her casual outfit consists of a translucent, silver lace shirt decorated with flowers under a green strap-sleeve dress with a belt, and a light brown watch on her left wrist.
Unit Outfit[]
Shizuku shares a similar outfit to that of the rest of her group members: a white sleeveless blouse with a black ribbon underneath a vest, a black and white ruffled skirt with multiple layers, a loose black belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, and white heeled shoes. The design of Shizuku's vest is similar to Airi's. Shizuku's outfit differs with the color teal accenting her outfit and a thick yellow bracelet on her left wrist.
Her group's new uniform consists of a white double-breasted coat with flouncy sleeves, a dark gray belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, a skirt over a longer white skirt, and white heeled shoes. The coat neckline, overskirt, and shoe cuffs have a blue plaid appearance. Accessories include dark gray ribbons pinned with gold three-leaf clovers, white wrist cuffs, and a three-leaf clover ribbon hair clip. Her outfit's accent color is teal.
Personality[]
Shizuku has a kind and mature personality. She worries a lot about disappointing her fans, feeling she must maintain a "perfect" image, but after the event My Color! she begins to show her authentic self on livestreams. While she appears very calm and poised, she does have some quirks, such as putting miso soup in her thermos and being extremely bad with technology. As she grows as an idol, she becomes determined to stay true to herself, not the perfect image she had before.
Shizuku can also be a bit air-headed, as according to her sister Shiho, she loves going on walks but can't remember any of the street names. As shown in multiple area conversations, she gets lost even in places familiar to her, such as the shopping mall.
Etymology[]
Hinomori (日野森) means "a sunny forest".
Shizuku (雫) means "droplet". She was named after the scenery her mother saw after she was born; it had just stopped raining, and the raindrops were sparkling in the sunlight.[6]
Game Interactions[]
A list of characters Shizuku interacts with in the game.
Relationships[]
Subpage: Relationships
Hanasato Minori: Fellow group member. Shizuku supports her dream of becoming an idol and is inspired by her desire to give people hope.
Kiritani Haruka: Fellow group member. They had previously performed together before forming MORE MORE JUMP! Haruka has shown to be secretly jealous towards Shizuku and her popularity, working herself to the bone to try and become as great as her companion. They respect each other's dedication and poise. In the You Deserve It! Break Time! event, Shizuku got concerned for Haruka after noticing she was overworking herself, so she tried to help her to take a break by taking her out, though it all ended in failure. When Haruka noticed, she told Shizuku to not worry, and promised her that she'll remember to take breaks in the future.
Momoi Airi: Fellow group member. The two debuted at the same time and are very close. One of the first things Airi ever told her was that an idol's most important quality was having heart, rather than looks or talent.[7] In the main story, Shizuku felt discouraged by the jealousy in her old idol group, but Airi stood up for her, openly complimenting her and recognizing that she was more than just her beautiful appearance. Shizuku has a great respect for her confidence and work ethic, seeing Airi as "her idol."
Hoshino Ichika: Shiho's childhood friend. Shizuku is always happy to see Ichika and the other members of Leo/need to get along with Shiho.
Tenma Saki: Shiho's childhood friend. Shizuku particularly adores Saki.
Mochizuki Honami: Shiho's childhood friend. During the first year of the story, they were also part of the beautification committee together.
Hinomori Shiho: Shizuku's younger sister. Shizuku likes to dote on her a lot, due to the little time they were able to spend together since Shizuku was often busy with work. Shiho finds her clinginess annoying, but appreciates the things that Shizuku has done for her. In the event The Moon Rabbit & Us, it is shown that Shizuku began to act clingy towards Shiho when they were in kindergarten. One day, when they made dango for a moon-viewing party, Shiho was upset by the fact that their parents were coming home late and that they couldn't show the dango to them until much later. She tried to remain stoic for Shizuku's sake, but Shizuku comforted her and reassured her that it was okay to express her feelings of sadness.
Azusawa Kohane: The two first met during the Wishing to the Blue Sky for Your Happiness! event.
Shiraishi An: Despite meeting for the first time during a wedding photoshoot, An already knew Shizuku since she used to be part of Cheerful＊Days, while Shizuku knew of An from Haruka. Since then, they have become good friends.
Tenma Tsukasa: Shizuku's childhood acquaintance. As Shiho and Saki were childhood friends, Tsukasa and Shizuku were also friends, just not as close as their siblings. They used to play in the park together.[8]
Asahina Mafuyu: Friends and fellow archery clubmate. Shizuku appreciates Mafuyu treating her like a normal person. The two first met during their first year of high school when they were both visiting the archery club, and Mafuyu's assertion that she wants to practice together with Shizuku helped her convince to join the club as well.[9] Shizuku is also aware that Mafuyu is hiding something but cannot exactly tell what it is and hopes that Mafuyu will tell her one day.
Shinonome Ena: A friend she first met through Airi.
Akiyama Mizuki: Friends following the What's On Your Mind? Exciting Picnic! event.
Hatsune Miku: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol.
Kagamine Rin: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol.
Megurine Luka: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol. It is implied that Shizuku's feelings brought Luka into the Stage SEKAI during her debut event.
MEIKO: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol.
Kagamine Len: VIRTUAL SINGER and fellow idol.
KAITO: VIRTUAL SINGER, fellow idol, and manager.
Higure Arisa: Shizuku's former groupmate from her Cheerful＊Days times.

Trivia[]
- Shizuku likes embroidering, and she buys plain handkerchiefs to sew her own designs into them.[10]
- Her grandmother is the one who taught her embroidering. She also likes the sounds a sewing machine makes, as it reminds her of the times when her grandmother made clothes for the Hinomori sisters.[11]
- There is a running gag in Shizuku's pre-upgraded cards of Airi stopping her from spilling something while she gets distracted by someone or something nearby.
