== Charactah Account ==
The cool and confident captain of AKB0048. Leading the Successors in their fight to bring entertainment and joy to the galaxy, Takamina is one of the most popular and respected members of the group. Also the shortest. A whopping 148.5 cm tall (4 feet 9 inches) she is a head shorter than almost everyone except Sonata. With hard work and dedication to the group she is a shining example and role model for the younger girls. That is, until she stumbles upon a secret that she personally takes as a big slap in the face and a sign that she has outstayed her welcome in the group.
Takamina seems to have a very determined take charge personality, as she demonstrates during the attack on the concert in Episode 1. In lieu of a member holding Center Position, Takamina seems to take center stage in the group as of now, as seen in advertisments on the group's home planet and the ads for the auditions. She is also the captain of AKB0048 and leads the other members in battles. In Episode 7, it is shown that she has a dislike for peppers, and possibly other spicy foods, as she complained when she heard that the lunch was green pepper steak. However, after she discovers that Kanata is to be her successor, she starts to waver and doubt herself. She begins to accept the fact until Tsubasa tells her that she is chosen as Takamina once again.
