List of Oshi no Ko characters

The Oshi no Ko manga series features an extensive cast of characters created by Aka Akasaka. The story follows a doctor and his recently deceased patient, reborn as twins to a famous Japanese musical idol, navigating the highs and lows of the Japanese entertainment industry as they grow up together through their lives.

Ai Hoshino (星野 アイ, Hoshino Ai) is a charismatic pop idol who rose from humble beginnings. Raised in an orphanage after her parents' absence, she is scouted at age 12 by Strawberry Productions president Ichigo Saitō. Initially doubting she could be an idol due to her inability to understand love, she learns to perform affection for fans, eventually becoming the centerpiece of B-Komachi. At 16, she secretly carries twins, Aquamarine and Ruby, pausing her career to start a family. Returning to idol work after their birth, she is murdered at 20 by an obsessed fan. In her final moments, she realizes her genuine love for her children. Her death drives Aqua to pursue acting as part of his quest for vengeance. Her name, meaning "starry eye", references the distinctive six-pointed stars in her and her children's eyes.

Aquamarine Hoshino (星野 愛久愛海, Hoshino Akuamarin), known as Aqua (アクア, Akua), was originally Gorou Amamiya (雨宮 吾郎, Amamiya Gorō), an obstetrician-gynecologist and devoted fan of Ai Hoshino. After delivering Ai's twins, he is murdered by her stalker and reincarnated as her son. Following Ai's death, Aqua vows to uncover the truth, theorizing his biological father—someone in the entertainment industry—betrayed her location. He pursues acting to infiltrate the industry and exact revenge. Though he briefly dates Akane, he ends their relationship upon realizing the danger his mission poses for her. Despite growing self-awareness about his destructive obsession, Aqua ultimately stages a murder-suicide with his father, ensuring Ruby's safety before his death. In his final moments, he finds peace, envisioning a hopeful future for Ruby as his consciousness fades.

Ruby Hoshino (星野 瑠美衣, Hoshino Rubii), originally Sarina Tendōji (天童寺 さりな, Tendōji Sarina), was a terminally ill patient who idolized Gorou before reincarnating as Ai Hoshino's daughter. Carrying Sarina's dream of becoming an idol, Ruby trains diligently after Ai's murder. Though initially rejected due to Aqua's interference, she forms the new B-Komachi with Kana and Mem-cho. Ruby retains Sarina's unrequited love for Gorou, complicating her relationship with Aqua upon discovering his true identity. After overcoming the trauma of Aqua's death, she emerges as an inspirational idol. The ending of the story suggests that despite her initial resistance, Ruby eventually accepted her mother's philosophy, inspiring people with a fake happy and serene persona while hiding sadness and heavy feelings in her heart.

Kana Arima (有馬 かな, Arima Kana), once hailed as a child acting prodigy for her ability to cry on command, first meets Aqua when he fills in as a movie extra. As a teenager, her career declines as her talent overshadows peers, forcing her to restrain her performances. Reuniting with Aqua and Ruby in high school, she develops unrequited feelings for Aqua and later joins Ruby's idol group, B-Komachi, becoming its standout member. After two years, she departs to revive her acting career. Her rivalry with Akane stems from their contentious past, where Akane once idolized her. Though Aqua internally acknowledges Kana as the girl closest to him besides Ruby, he never confesses his feelings before his death, leaving Kana tormented by her own unspoken love.

Kana is one of the two protagonists of the light novel spin-off dedicated to her and Akane, which ends with her becoming a famous Japanese and Hollywood actress who tries to fill the void in her heart after Aqua's death with her constant development of her acting career.

Akane Kurokawa (黒川 あかね, Kurokawa Akane) is a stage actress who joins the reality show My Love with a Star Begins Now (LoveNow) to promote her theater troupe. Initially overlooked, she faces severe online harassment after accidentally scratching a co-star, driving her to a suicide attempt that Aqua prevents. By the show's end, her reputation improves, and she shares a staged relationship with Aqua, though she later develops genuine feelings for him. Her admiration for Kana turns to rivalry after a bitter confrontation. A meticulous performer, Akane employs a method-acting approach, deeply analyzing her roles. Discovering Aqua's quest for vengeance, she supports him until he ends their relationship for her safety. Later, she intervenes in his revenge plot, disguising herself as Ruby to thwart an assassination attempt while ensuring Ruby's escape.

Akane is one of the two protagonists of the light novel spin-off dedicated to her and Kana, which ends with her meeting Crow Girl and, fully immersed in the study of the occult, trying to find a way to bring Aqua back to life despite warnings about the dangers of this from her.
