Minami Katayama

Minami is often compared to the sun, being vibrant and energetic. She was recruited after Junko Tange saw her winning a local folk song singing competition. She is also known to sing at a local home for senior citizens who give her their support during her concerts. Despite not being the youngest member, Minami is considered as the "little sister" of the group. She and Miyu Okamoto are usually the mood makers of the group due to their bubbly and cheerful personalities. Even so, Minami can easily get nervous but thanks to the "protection charm" Grandma Isokawa gave her, she is able to overcome her stage fright. She is always heard saying, "I want to perform again", and is happy every time the group is given a job. She is always punctual no matter what event and always puts others first before herself. She is also known for having a big appetite and saying her catchphrase, "Ume nya!"
