Takeshita Miiko



Takeshita Miiko (竹下みいこ) is a character in the D4DJ franchise and is a member of the group Lyrical Lily.

Appearance
Miiko has short, blonde hair, with her bangs being parted in the middle of her forehead. She wears light pink colored headphones with white ribbons on both sides of them. She has bright green eyes and a small ahoge sticking up on her head.

Description
Miiko loves to play and she also loves her fellow members of Lyrical Lily. She is always cheerful and can get along with anyone. She has a dream about traveling all over the world and making friends in many different countries. While others might think it's hard to figure out what she's thinking, often times she's not thinking at all. She's the type of person to have fun and laugh at haunted houses and horror movies.

Etymology
Takeshita (竹下) can be split into two parts. Take (竹), meaning bamboo, and Shita (下), meaning below.

Miiko (みいこ) has no meaning, but could be a reference to Miko (巫女), which means "shrine maiden."

Sakurada Miyu
Fellow unit member. Miyu and Miiko get along well, although Miyu is often perplexed by Miiko's airheaded behavior. She was Miyu's first friend at elementary school and invited Miyu to make a time capsule with the other Lyrical Lily members.

Kasuga Haruna
Fellow unit member. Similarly to Kurumi's case, Haruna often scolds Miiko for her antics and pranks.

Shiratori Kurumi
Kurumi and Miiko get along like best friends and are always planning pranks and tricks together.

Shimizu Esora
Esora and Miiko were former classmates in elementary school. She refers to Miiko with the honorific "-san" despite the fact that she normally doesn't include it with those that are the same age as her. Unlike others, Esora is able to get on-board with Miiko's quirky imagination.
