Her winter attire consists of a grey frilled headband and long-sleeved black Gothic Lolita dress with white collar that attached with silver cross.

For Spring/Summer she wears white shirt with puffy sleeves that has black frilled necktie and black belt-like tie, black skirt, white socks, black loafers. Her accessory is a small grey bow with attached white skull.

#### **Personality**

As a Cool idol, Iori is very attractive, sporty, tomboyish, and naïve. Will often act flirty to males, but it seems like Iori does not like them. She refers to herself with the pronoun 'Boku', which reflects her masculine lifestyle.

Iori seems to like everything related to the horror genre, often tending to scare the other girls. Iori tends to have a cheerful disposition when it comes to horror, thinking that zombies are very cute and saying she thinks it's adorable when they trap people. She's also very shy, and bad at conversing with others. She starts as a borderline shut-in, only coming to an idol audition because her mom tricked her into going (saying they were showing a horror movie there).

As with the others, she accepts her friends to welcome in, which Iori performs her song "Kuroi Tori no Komoriuta" (Blackbird's Lullaby).

### **Forming a unit**

In Episode 173, Iori, Ren, Rui, Futaba, Yuzu, and Kanon become members for her new unit named "Latin6".
