Airi Momoi

Former member of the idol group QT. She inspires the other members of MORE MORE JUMP! with her intense passion and pride for being an idol. Airi also excels at planning and scheduling, allowing her to proactively manage MORE MORE JUMP!'s work in the absence of an agency.

Airi wanted to become an idol when she was young, as she admired the way they danced, sang and made people smile, and wanted to be able to do the same. At the same time, she wanted to be more girlish, as she was made fun of for being a tomboy and getting into fights with boys. Airi was mainly inspired by an idol named Rainbow Garland, who was also the first idol she became a fan of.

Airi later debuted as a member of the idol group QT. She was a popular idol that appeared on many variety shows. One of her most well-known TV personas was The Masked Variety Idol, Happy Everyday. Due to her talent working in television, her agency urged her to stop being an idol and to become a TV personality instead. Upon overhearing her manager outright saying that Airi is very average as an idol, she rejected this offer, resulting in her quitting the group.

Airi seemingly gave up her dream of being an idol. She even insulted Minori when they first met and said that she has no chance at becoming an idol. However, seeing Minori's spirit, she was reinvigorated by her determination to reach her dream, thus agreeing to train Minori and create MORE MORE JUMP! with Haruka and Airi's former rival Shizuku.

She is the middle child of her family, having one older sister and one younger sister. Her father is a good cook, as Airi mentions him making her and her sister’s lunch and Christmas Cake.

Airi is part of the Miyamasuzaka credit course alongside Shizuku. As a second year, Airi was classmates with Shizuku in class 2-D. As a third year, she is classmates with Shizuku in class 3-E.

Airi has cerise eyes and long, messy coral pink hair that falls below her shoulder blades, with two clumps of hair tied into small loose fluffy pigtails near the top. Her voice is energetic and lively.

Casual Outfit

For Airi's casual outfit, she wears a chunky light yellow turtleneck sweater and loose light yellow shorts held up with a belt of the same color. The twin-tails at the top of her head are held up by short yellow ribbons. While she's practicing, Airi sports black sweatpants with a yellow hem, one leg rolled up to her knee. She has a honey yellow crop-top with a white sleeve that slightly intrudes into the yellow of the shirt. Under her shirt she has a white, also cropped undershirt, the left side having a black-and-white checker pattern. Her hair still has the same yellow ribbons.

In her third year, her casual outfit consists of a grayish blue, turtleneck sweater with long sleeves under a pastel yellow suspender skirt with a zipper down the front, and a gold bracelet on her right wrist. Her hair ties are also longer.

In her sleepwear as seen in the movie, she removes her pigtails and wears a yellow shirt.

Unit Outfit

Airi shares a similar outfit to that of the rest of her group members: a white sleeveless blouse with a black ribbon underneath a vest, a black and white ruffled skirt with multiple layers, a loose black belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, and white heeled shoes. The design of Airi's vest is similar to Shizuku's. Airi's outfit differs the most from her members, in the way that her blouse is cropped above the waist. Additionally, she has the color pink accenting her outfit, a white ruffled arm band on her upper left arm, and white bracelet-like sleeves.

Her group's new uniform consists of a white double-breasted coat with flouncy sleeves, a dark gray belt adorned with the group's three-leaf clover motif, a skirt over a longer white skirt, and white heeled shoes. The coat neckline, overskirt, and shoe cuffs have a blue plaid appearance. Accessories include dark gray ribbons pinned with gold three-leaf clovers, white wrist cuffs, and three-leaf clover ribbon hair ties. Her outfit's accent color is pink. Unlike her group members, her coat is cropped above her waist.

Airi is strong-minded and comes across as pushy to some. According to Minori, she is strict but reliable. She is very protective of her friends and family, and hates bullies. She was more tomboyish as a child, though that was frequently shot down by her mother. Airi retains some of her headstrong attitude, though cares greatly for her friends as well as her siblings, taking a sisterly role with both.

Before joining her unit, she would frequently think back on her past, bitter of how her agency ended up using her as a TV personality and disregarded her idol activities completely. When she would do this, she'd become snappy and irrational to those who would confront her about her attitude, insulting them, only to feel guilty afterwards.
