Background
Honoka's family owns a Japanese sweets shop. She lives at the back of the shop with her mother, father, and little sister. Since she was young, she has been friends with Minami Kotori and she befriended Sonoda Umi after inviting her to a game of hide and seek.

Personality
Honoka is an optimist who is never afraid to take risks. She is always in a good mood and likes to look at the bright side of things. She doesn't enjoy eating red bean paste despite working at her family's shop that sells Japanese sweets. She is determined and once her mind is set on something, nothing can stop her. This is believed to be the driving force behind μ's formation and success.

Honoka enjoys swimming and collecting stickers. Her special skill is often finding money on the streets, which she attributes to good luck. She was the leader of the school idol group, μ's, before Rin took the role over. Starting from the second season, she succeeds Eli as Otonokizaka High School's student council president.
