Kī Saegusa



"Ok-ok-okay!"

- Kī's catchphrase.

Kī Saegusa (冴草きい) is a character in the Aikatsu on Parade! series and was one of the main characters in the second season of the Aikatsu! series. She is a student at Dream Academy. Kī is a pop-type idol whose preferred brand is Magical Toy.

Appearance
Kī has bright blonde hair with puffy, balloon-like twintails, each tied with a green ribbon and cerulean eyes. When not performing, she usually wears her red glasses.

Personality
As a pop-type idol, Kī is very cheerful and energetic. She has a habit of saying certain words twice or even thrice before ending a phrase or sentence. This is revealed to be an influence from her mother who would do the same. Kī states that her mother is "her producer", having been her main boat of support and confidence in her childhood.

Background
During her childhood, Kī was a very shy girl with no friends. She stated that she was jealous of all the other girls in the class because they were cute and she wasn't. Kī's mother noticed her dilemma and subsequently cast a "spell" on her daughter to give her self-confidence so that she may be cute. Because of this, Kī has been able to grow more confident in herself, and eventually entered Dream Academy where she was introduced to Seira; becoming her producer and later on, an idol.

Etymology
Saegusa (冴草): Sae (冴) means (to be) skillful, possibly referring to her talent as a producer and Gusa (草) means grass.

Kī (きい) is often associated with the Kī province (紀伊国), which translates into the land of the woods.
