If you want to make your own fanfic version of the character, add it to the Fanfic appearances section instead.

**Kotori Minami** (南 ことり) is one of the main protagonists of the original *Love Live! School Idol Project* Anime.

## Character

Kotori is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend, who is the daughter of Otonokizaka Academy's chairwoman, whom she closely resembles. She is known for having her head in the clouds despite holding responsibility as the group's wardrobe supervisor and choreographer. She is very considerate of the feelings of the people around her, but also indecisive and prone to going with the flow. She later becomes part of the student council and assists Honoka and Umi in doing their student council duties.

## Notes & Trivia

### Official Data & Canon

* Voice actors: **Aya Uchida** (Japanese), **Cristina Vee** (English), **Elle Genovata** (Tagalog)
* Her favorite food is Cheesecake.
* Her disliked food is garlic.
* Her charm point is her soft droopy eyes.
* She has a mother.
* Despite having a bust size of 80, Kotori's bust is slightly larger (as present in the first season's second episode where she places her forearm between them) in the Anime, in contrast to Dia Kurosawa's rather natural B80 bust size.
* In *Love Live! School Idol Diary - Kotori Minami, Chapter 01 - Little Bird*, Kotori is shown to have Yandere traits, as she is shown talking about wanting to see Umi break down in defeat because she thinks it's cute, and she even made her own doll of the latter's likeness, which she pats every day before going to school.
* Her Tagalog voice actress, Elle Genovata, is one of two dubbers from *School Idol P**roject'*s Tagalog dub who returned in *Sunshine!!*, where she voiced Dia Kurosawa (the other one is Geraldine Peña, who voiced Alisa Ayase in S*chool Idol Project* and later voiced You Watanabe).

### Meta and *out of Canon*

* In the fanart world, her bird persona is usually drawn as a grey-brown blob with wings, Kotori's hairstyle, and a (・８・) expression.
* She also has the fan nicknames "birb" or "burb".
* Because of her sadomasochistic personality in the *School Idol Diary* novels, many fans portrayed her as a yandere in most fanarts and memes. This trait is also used for You Watanabe and Ayumu Uehara, albeit *unofficially and memetically*, owning to the moments from their respective episodes ("We've Got Stewshine", and "Summer Begins.").
