Character Description

Chiyoko is described as a normal girl you could find in any classroom. But she recognizes that she's normal, and decides to brand herself as a chocolate idol to be more memorable. She does love chocolate, but she got her idol theme from her old nickname, Choco. She has a bright, cute, energetic personality, and a surprising amount of maturity and self-awareness. She is one of the more down to earth members of Houkago Climax Girls, and often serves as the mediator for the group's large personalities.

The producer first met Chiyoko when she auditioned. When they meet again, she asks if P remembers her, and P does. She is very happy to hear that. P is charmed by her smile and remarks that it would be a valuable weapon for an idol, then asks if Chiyoko would be part of the unit he is producing. She's very surprised and asks if she is really what the production wants, as she is so normal. P says that nothing is normal and they need to work with what they have. This is when Chiyoko realizes what she has is chocolate, and she and the producer decide on her brand as an idol. In P-SSR1 Chiyoko's True End, P is walking alongside Chiyoko, and she can't quite keep up. She says that for every two steps P takes, she has to take three. But she wants to become someone who can walk alongside the producer, in both a literal way and as an idol. They talk about things being "wasteful" but Chiyoko believes that no effort is a waste, and P decides to stop looking at things as wasteful too. Finally, Chiyoko asks if the producer will keep helping her now that WING is over, and of course the answer is yes.

During Houkago's training camp, Chiyoko shows off her reliability and skill at cooking. She directs the other members in preparing vegetables for a meal. She also sweetly offers to cut up any vegetables Kaho doesn't like extra small, to make them more palatable. Next she notices Natsuha struggling with the knife and asks her to put it down. Natsuha is too stubborn, so Chiyoko offers her a "more important job" to get her to stop. She shows a lot of understanding of her fellow idols personalities and how best to work with them while also doing a fair share of work herself. Kaho even comments that Chiyoko seems like a mother in that moment. Next the girls have a pillow fight, and Juri remarks that Chiyoko is better in a support role, reflecting her role in the unit as well as in the fight. However, she shows a more playful side when the unit is talking about ghosts. She scares the group by disappearing and then popping out to surprise them. But when they're out at night, she's one of the most fearful of ghosts. When Rinze scares them, Rinze remarks that she learned it from Chiyoko. Finally, when the group leaves, Kaho tells every member what she loves about them. In addition to the food-related comments, Kaho says that the camp was filled with warmth and happiness because of Chiyoko, and then to accentuate that, Chiyoko is the one that yells back "Kaho, we love you!" for the whole group. This first event really showcases Chiyoko's role as the heart of the group, and shows some of her depth beyond being a chocolate idol.
