Honoka Kousaka

Honoka Kousaka is the main protagonist from the Love Live! School Idol Project series.
== Charactah Account ==
Leader and founder of μ's, and all-around average student. Inspired by A-RISE, she found the group to save Otonokizaka from closing down. She has a sister of Yukiho, who went to Otonokizaka Middle School and they live in traditional sweets shop, "Homura". In the second season of the anime, she succeeded Eli as student council president. She is also the leader of Printemps, a sub-unit under µ's.
Honoka is an optimist who is never afraid to take risks. She is always in a good mood and likes to look at the bright side of things. She is determined and once her mind is set on something, nothing can stop her. This is believed to be the driving force behind μ's formation and success. But because of her persistent personality, she often overexerts herself.
Her personality is similar to Rin Hoshizora's because they are both determined and hard-working. For example, in Season 1 Episode 7, Honoka, Rin and Nico Yazawa had to work hard to pass exams in order to enter Love Live!, and are known as the 'Three Idiots'.
