Ikumi Amano

''“Looking back, I see how far I’ve come. But looking forward, it’s not enough yet. I think I’ll quit when I’m satisfied. So, never. Probably.”''

Ikumi Amano is the eldest member and center of DIA♔DEM. Her position is referred to as "the queen."

Generally independent and self-sufficient, Ikumi rarely troubles herself with the concerns of others... Or at least she did, until she joined DIA♔DEM. As much as she wants to stick to herself, working with Hatsuki and Maaya requires Ikumi to spend countless hours suffering alongside them. She's come to appreciate both performers, and more importantly, as people. In the right mood, she might even confess to enjoying their friendship.

During the tryout cycle for DIA♔DEM, Ikumi was a fast favorite of her future manager.

Character
Ikumi's on-stage character is commanding and powerful--a gap from her reserved day-to-day attitude. When not dancing, she focuses on maintaining regal posture and firm expressions. She doesn't "feel" like a center, but she remains in the position to pursue the goals their manager sets. Even though she's not the idol-type, Ikumi is the hardworking-dedicated-type, and that's enough to continue.
