Ran Shibuki is a Starlight Academy student and one of Ichigo and Aoi's classmates.

Ran is a quiet, independent girl with a professional air about her. She is multi-talented and mature but she has a short temper and does not like being pestered. Despite this, Ran is a kind person. She is humble about who she is as a person and idol, despite her popularity.

Ichigo Hoshimiya is a regular, ordinary middle school girl. But when her best friend, Aoi, invites her to join the idol training academy, Starlight Academy, her whole world is turned upside down. As she encounters all kinds of rivals and learns what it takes to be an idol, she uses her Aikatsu Cards to challenge countless auditions.
