**AmekoMeko** (あめこめこ), real name **Yagiri Ena** (矢霧 絵名), is a famous illustrator known for popularizing the *yume-kawaii* aesthetic on Kirakiratter. She is one of nemu\*'s close associates, and is often requested to do artwork for her due to their friendship.

After months of countless rumors revolving around her involvement in the idol industry, she was finally confirmed as the sole designer and creator of **2D ♡ OVERDOSE**.

She is a minor character of *Aikatsu! Over the Horizon*.

## Bio

### Appearance

AmekoMeko's avatar has big, peach-colored eyes and thigh-length, teal hair, tied up into twintails. A *hime* cut frames her face, and a pair of bear ears rest on top of her head. Her attire mainly consists of soft colors and lots of frills; AmekoMeko often draws herself in a pink maid outfit, with an assortment of pins and clips littered all over her hair. A "curious" gaze can always be found on her face, especially in fanart.

No one knows what she looks like in real life. The only details known about her are the fact that she looks way more plain, and that she is of average height, at around 5 feet and 3 inches (160 centimeters).

### Personality

Very opinionated, though she isn't the type to get riled up easily. AmekoMeko is an honest woman with high levels of emotional maturity, but sometimes, she tends to say outrageous things for the sake of eliciting reactions from others, much to her amusement. She may be a bit of a jokester, but when the situation calls for it, she can be *very* serious and demanding with deadlines (which she often profusely apologizes for afterwards). Aside from her art, AmekoMeko has grown popular due to her tendency to engage with her community often, as she is very supportive of others' works and gives great advice from time to time — though some have also criticized her for this, calling her a "pandering, attention-seeking *menhera*".

## Relationships

* **Yagiri Kento** - Her father. She fears him.
* **Yagiri Nagi** - Her mother. She pities her.
* **Yagiri Nao** - Her younger brother. Although they don't interact often thanks to their busy schedules keeping them miles apart, they seem to be on very good terms. Ena often dotes on Nao, calling him her "pathetic little brother". She is also aware of his love for nemu\*, as he expresses envy over his sister's close friendship with her at times. Knowing her brother's growing fondness for music, Ena encouraged him to become an idol, which she'd only doubled down on when the *Aikatsu!* Convention just so happened to coincide with his birthday. However, for unknown reasons, she *refuses* to let him attend Noble Herz.
* **nemu\*** - One of her frequent clients. Not much is known about their relationship, but AmekoMeko has been acquainted with her since the first half of AH019, as she immediately grew fond of her songs. Although they've never met in real life, they trust each other enough to share intimate details about their personal lives, including their real names. AmekoMeko treats the younger girl in a sisterly fashion, and often replies to nemu\*'s posts with unending support, much to the latter's chagrin.

## Etymology

**AmekoMeko** is written as あめこめこ. While it has no meaning, her username is derived from the name **Ameko** (飴子), with 飴 (*ame*) meaning "candy" and 子 (*ko*) meaning "child". Altogether, her name can be read as "candy child" — a derivative of 雨子, which translates to "rain child".

**Yagiri** is written as 矢霧. 矢 (*ya*) means "arrow", and 霧 (*giri*) means "fog", "mist" or "haze".

**Ena** is written as 絵名. 絵 (*e*) can be translated as "picture", "drawing", or "painting", while 名 (*na*) means "name". The latter can also be read as "distinguished" or "great", which, when combined together, transforms her name into "distinguished painting".
