Ayumi Hashimoto (はしもとあゆみ Hashimoto Ayumi) is the current dance instructor of AKB0048. She is Miyazawa Sae's former successor and is the 14th to succeed her.
Her previous titles are Sae (さえ) and Sae-chan (さえちゃん)
== Personality ==
Ayumi is a very energetic person who enjoys jogging in the morning, particularly before the sun rises to the sky. Enthusiasm is what she loves about herself when viewing the world of self-discovery. She lived with three brothers, and because of the environment she lived in, Aymumi exhibits tomboy traits. Ever since she was in middle school, Ayumi likes to be on time and despises anyone wasting her time, because time is precious. 
There is a time and place when Ayumi becomes strict during her lessons, such as performing live concerts or close to a Music Video deadline, but other than that; she is pretty relaxing. She wants her students to be their best selves out in the world. Raising three has made her develop mother instincts and, at times, does it on accident with AKB0048 members.
As a teacher, Ayumi has high expectations for all students and treats everyone equally in her class despite any relationship created. Lesson plans are organized and despise any mess in her studio or store. She believes that a significant relationship needs to be created with her peers to understand better and create excellent communication with one another. Doesn't come off as mean, instead she tries to be loving and caring.
== Appearance ==
Ayumi has Emperor Purple hair and Java Blue eyes. Both have diamond symbols indicating she is a fellow graduate of AKB0048. She usually wears baggy clothing when there are dance lessons, but as her usual attire, she likes to wear blue jeans and a sweater. Hates to wear high-heels. During a night out, she prefers to wear 'cool attires' and jewelry just for the kick of it.
== History ==
=== Pre-00 ===
Ayumi had zero knowledge of the idol group AKB0048 growing up in a DES territory planet known as Lancaster. At first, she thought the name "AKB0048" was a type of disease, well, because of the acronym and numbers involved. At the age of ten, she made a self-discovery while randomly walking around after school and then suddenly stumbled upon a Guerilla LIVE concert hosted by the idol group. She looked around noticing: a massive crowd cheering, heavy music played, and idols coming down from the sky. The concert was unexpectedly interrupted by soldiers who 'protect' their planet from terrorists such as AKB0048, Ayumi fled the scene quickly, but curiosity got the best of her. As she got home, the Emperor hair girl promptly went to her whole family, discussing where she went and what had happened. This did not sit well with the family and received backlashed, especially from her father. Why would they hate such a lively group and added more to the curiosity. Rebelling from her parent's wishes added a spark as if this was the right thing to do.
Every year the group holds auditions for girls interested in joining; Ayumi took the chance and bolted towards an open opportunity. Something inside of her felt that this was something she needed to do. She submitted her audition using Blue Rose as her song, and a month later, Ayumi made it to the second round. Never looked back after fleeing the planet. Parents found out their daughter is missing until months, then the news reported about the new idols who joined the group. Their daughter appeared and could not believe it. She hasn't spoken to her family ever since.
=== Kenkyuusei ===
As an understudy, Ayumi was very serious about her job as an idol; she enjoyed seeing the crowd, especially the children's smile, which was the best gift she could receive. She was the fifth popular member during her time in the group, according to the Senbatsu Sousenkyo rankings holding this title for three years. Living in the dorm rooms, there would always be some dumb fights about the stupidest things, but they would still make up like a family. She would rarely be in the LAS as she mostly is preforming with the top members on stage though she always enjoys fighting against the DES as if she is a Power Ranger in a giant robot. Dance lessons were a challenge for this girl, but slowly became a passion; that is why she is a Dance Instructor today.

After four days from the incident, management announced to the public that the member Hashimoto Ayumi would be having a succession concert. People started to speculate who this girl would succeed. Some say it would be Akimoto Sayaka, Oya Shizuka, or Yamamoto Sayaka, based on the polls created on their Twitter feed. During her concert, she announced that she would hold the title as Miyazawa Sae the 14th, and of course, this created an uproar and mixed feelings with fans and members. Ayumi never imagined she could ever succeed Sae but later realized how similar they are on personality. Her other fellow generation members began to succeed, such as one of her close friends, Kadoshima Hitomi.
=== Graduation ===
Hikari and Ayumi were the only members of their generation who have not graduated. Graduation made her question her future and what she can—hearing stories about what her former members are doing now made her wonder even further. She stayed with the group until she turned twenty-one years old. 
=== After Graduation ===
The former idol decided to be out of sight from social media for about four years; no one knew where she could have gone or what planet is she staying. During those four years, Ayumi went into self-discovery to figure out her whole life after being an idol. Her first goal is to return to Akibastar as this planet felt like her home and having a wonderful time. Years later, Ayumi opened a music shop as it was a passion for her, as is dancing. She sold instruments and music. 
A year later, she meets her future husband at a bar as she happened to be drinking, why was she at the bar? Because she wanted some time for herself after getting stood up by her date. Continuing to talk with this stranger, Ayumi didn't know that Shoichi was a gang leader, which later caught her by surprise after several dates. At their first interaction, she happened to be very annoyed with his recklessness behavior and spoke out about it; this caught Shoichi by surprise as no one dared to talk to him, of course, this brought rage, but Ayumi did not back down to a man. Moments later, the fight ended in a tie, but he became interested in Ayumi as no one ever dared to talk back to him, even his previous girlfriends. Slowly the two started to fall in love with each other and enjoy each other's company. Three years of being together, her future husband proposed at the same place they met back. Of course, Ayumi immediately replied yes. The rest is history having her future children's with the man of her life.
