__Birthday:__ April 4th

__Weight:__ 47kg

She's a first-year in high school. One of her favorite things is cooking. She's not good at dieting. 

Raised in the countryside somewhere in Okayama, a prefecture some 350 miles west from Tokyo, Ino had always been surrounded by farm life. Like many children with humble upbringings, she had yearned to become someone big, and after watching Brocco perform on television, Ino knew she wanted to sing and dance just like her.

Years passed, and when Ino turned fifteen, she finally made the move to Tokyo as a new idol for Rat Productions. Although far from being the stereotypical "girl from the sticks," Ino nevertheless holds a somewhat romanticized view of Tokyo, one where the scenery is filled with nothing but giant skyscrapers, and where high school girls flocking to karaoke parlors after school is the norm.

Perhaps due to being raised in the laid-back environment of the country, Ino has a fairly level-headed temperament, neither being aggressive like Roko, nor as timid as Nina. She is easily able to adapt to the fast-paced life in the city, although Ino still retains some of her hometown sensibilities, such as being able to cook meals using freshly grown vegetables. However, Ino has a strong penchant for the moe aesthetic - cute things done by other girls. Whenever she witnesses or is becomes a part of something that is deemed cute, Ino has a tendency to drool and flush red with a certain delight.

Ino has a seemingly rare medical condition in which she suddenly develops the urge to use the restroom whenever she gets nervous, especially when about to perform live on stage and even afterwards. This had troubled Ino since childhood, where athletic events and class recitals would often cause her to panic and dash to the nearest toilet.

Former showbiz stars Roko, Hayu, and Nina live together in a dormitory for dropout idol girls. As timing would have it, young dreamer Sakura happens to move in with the other girls just as an announcement is made to tear down the dorm due to a 100-million-yen debt!<br>

This leads to the unexpected formation of a new idol group called Fruit Tart. Their sole mission: earn some yen and stop the demolition.<br>

Fourth dormitory of the Rat Production (commonly known as Nezumi-sou), the place were dropout idol girls live; the former child actor Sekino Roko, musician Nukui Hayu, and model Maehara Nina. Sakura Ino, who always dreamed of becoming an idol, moves in. At the same time the decision is made to demolish the dormitory. Due to the project launched by the manager Kajino Hoho, "Ochikobore Fruit Tart," occupants of the dormitory form a new idol group called "Fruit Tart," and start their activities in order to repay a one hundred million yen debt.
