Kasumi Nakasu

Kasumi Nakasu is one of the ten main characters of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. She is a first year at Nijigasaki High School. Her image color is pastel yellow. She is a member of QU4RTZ, a unit under the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Background
Kasumi has always dreamed of becoming an idol, however she didn't get very far. She wants to become a school idol so that she can participate in activities with a senpai she adores. Along with Karin Asaka and Setsuna Yuki, she works with Dengeki Online.

Personality
Kasumi loves all things cute, and her love for idols is unrivaled in strength and inspiration. Kaskasu wants to be number one in any competition she's in, and often resorts to cheating or even sabotage to achieve that goal. As a consequence, she is a sore loser whenever she achieves anything other than first place.

She hates the nickname Kasukasu (かすかす) which roughly translates to "just barely" or "not quite", and gets in a bad mood when referred to with it.

Kasumi spends a lot of her time scheming or thinking up new ways to ensure her own victory; however, these plans often fail or aren't as devious as she thinks.

Kasumi can also be considerate of her fellow idols and is seen doing things to cheer them up or to be nice to them. For example, she tries to rile up the group when Ayumu is nervous before their live, and exchanges genuine Christmas gifts with the Dengeki Online group.

Clubs and Hobbies
She enjoys making bread and watching idol videos. Her favorite school subjects are science and home economics, but she dislikes classical literature and history.

 * Diamond

Trivia

 * Kasumi claims to hate the nickname "Kasu" because it was overused in the past, particularly by people she had falling outs with. She adamantly suggests her own nicknames instead, usually asking people to either call her by her full name or Kasumin.
 * Kasumi had matching nicknames for Shizuku (Shizuko) and Rina (Rinako) because they're all first years. When Rina suggested calling Kasumi 'Kasuko' so they could truly match, Kasumi got upset.
