Izumo Saki



Izumo Saki (出雲咲姫) is a character in the D4DJ franchise, and is a member of the group Photon Maiden.

Appearance
Saki has long, lavender white hair styled in a side fringe that falls just above her waist. Her eyes appear to be a silver-gray color.

Description
Saki is a talented girl who excels in both study and sports. Having "synesthesia", she can see color in music. A DJ concert she happened to attend made her want to become a DJ herself. She is a person of few words, but shows outstanding performance on the stage.

Niijima Ibuki
As the emotionally and physically most mature member of the Photon Maiden, Ibuki often cares for Saki as well as the other members of the unit. Nevertheless, it seems that she is closer to her than to the other girls. For example, in the anime, they are often seen together, with Ibuki playing the distinct role of Saki's caring best friend.

Fukushima Noa
Fellow unit member. Saki is good friends with Noa, though she often tends to get bewildered or surprised when the latter starts complimenting Saki and telling her just how cute she is.

Akashi Maho
The two met when Saki accidentally overheard Maho praising the music she had written, but also remarked that it was missing something. Since her speech was interrupted and Saki was unable to listen to the last part, she followed Maho for a long time and was finally able to have a heart-to-heart talk with her about their music. After that, the two became friends and it is shown that Saki relies on Maho and at times asks for her help (such as when she asked Maho to help her become more knowledgeable about anime in her Anisama card's story).

Seto Rika
Rika often dotes on Saki, much to the latter's embarrassment.

Mizushima Marika
Marika adores Saki, constantly trying to spoil her and treats her like a surrogate little sister. Although this embarrasses her and Saki often tells Marika to stop, it looks like the latter can hardly resist.

Hidaka Saori
Compared to Rika and Marika, Saori seems to be quite protective towards Saki and doesn't dote on her like the rest of the Merm4id members.

Etymology
Izumo (出雲) can be split into two parts. I (出), meaning exit, and Zumo (雲) meaning cloud.

Saki (咲姫) can also be split into two parts. Sa (咲) meaning blossom or laugh, and Ki (姫) meaning princess.
