Karin Asaka

Karin Asaka is one of the main characters of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. She is a third year at Nijigasaki High School. Her image color is royal blue. She is a member of DiverDiva, a unit under the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club.

Background
She wanted to become a school idol to boost up her self-confidence. Along with Kasumi Nakasu and Setsuna Yuki, she works with Dengeki Online.

In the Nijigasaki High School dorms, she shares a room with Emma Verde.

Personality
Karin is very mature and gives off a rather seductive vibe. She can use her adult-like looks to her advantage. Karin often tries to tease her underclassmen, or teach them lessons on how to be sexy and cool like her.

However, these lessons sometimes backfire when they begin to show her lots of attention or respond purely, as Karin will get embarrassed.

Sometimes, Karin is a bit more childish and nervous than she lets on, but she mostly keeps up her sexy/cool image.

Because of her modelling activities, Karin's grades are bad and she has difficulties waking up at morning.

Clubs and Hobbies
Her strength is dancing, and thus she takes the role of choreographer at the club. Aside from her school idol club, she works as a model for magazines. She has enrolled in the design course at Nijigasaki Academy.

Her favorite subjects are science and cooking class, yet she dislikes geography. As revealed in ALL STARS, she actually has bad grades.
