Iori Minase

Iori Minase, also known as Deko-chan and Iorin, is one of the main characters from The iDOLM@STER series.
== Charactah Account ==
The daughter of one of the associates of the 765 Production president, Iori is a spoiled rich girl who flaunts her family's wealth around. Although she is quite polite and refined on stage and in public, when with the Producer and other girls she has a very sharp tongue, and is quick to berate other people's intelligence (especially the Producer's).
As a result of having two older brothers, Iori has grown up with a deep complex of hating to lose, and thus rarely shows any weaknesses. She does, however, have a much softer side that she shows from time to time, making her personality that of a tsundere character. The stuffed rabbit that she carries around with her constantly is named "Usa-chan."

== Trivia ==
* According to the arcade version, Iori's email address is v.v.v.iori.v.v.v@idolmaster.jp. The vs are thought to represent hearts (♡).
* Iori and Miki Hoshii often address each other in a rude way. Miki calls Iori ("Deko-chan", "odeko" being Japanese for "forehead") due to her prominent forehead, and Iori calls Miki ("anta", a very rude way of addressing someone).
* Iori is multilingual, speaking Chinese, French, German, Spanish, and fluent English in addition to Japanese.
* Iori's bunny doll that she carries with her all the time is affectionately named "Usa-chan", who Iori named while she was a child, though at one point she tries to trick the Producer into thinking its name is actually Sebastian. She states her bunny is actually named "Charles" or "Charles (something) the 18th" (such as Donatello or De Gaulle), however most consider Usa-chan as the real name. As of THE iDOLM@STER 2, appearances of Usa-chan seem to have been significantly reduced.
* When casual clothes are chosen as Iori's stage clothes, Usa-chan will be stuck to Iori's arm as though it were part of the costume.
* Iori is handy with a couple of firearms.
* In the First Vision games, Iori always exposed her forehead. She never let her bangs down until the release of THE iDOLM@STER SP DLC Catalog 8 idol-drama, where she removes her headband in order to avoid being recognized by President Kuroi.
* Iori will almost listen to anything Ritsuko Akizuki says. This is because of a memory from when they first met in 765 Productions where Ritsuko scolded, yelled, and punished Iori to the point of her crying.
* Iori and Yayoi Takatsuki are actually best friends, although it isn't explained how they became friends, or how they first met.
* Iori's favorite beverage is 100% pure orange juice. In fact, her very first appearance in THE iDOLM@STER 2 has her ordering the Producer to fetch her some from a vending machine.
* Iori is the favorite idol of Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada. This was acknowledged in a Million Live! card where she is dressed as Lili from the same series, with Harada cheering in the background.
* Mentioned and shown across many games and the anime (Episode 7), Iori has a pet dog named Jean Valjean. He is a Giant Schnauzer.
* Iori shares the same birthday with Ryu Kimura and Mikokoro Sano, which is also the Children's Day in Japan.
* Iori's father is friends with Junichirou Takagi, which is how she ended up as an idol with 765 Production.
* Iori has two older brothers. One, named Kaoru Minase, works as the president of a consulting company, while the other studies abroad in America.
