Portrayed by: Asuka Saitō
Ai Hoshino (星野 アイ, Hoshino Ai) is a selfless, empathetic but altruisticly deceptive pop idol who rose from humble beginnings. Raised in an orphanage after her parents' absence, she is scouted at age 12 by Strawberry Productions president Ichigo Saitō. Initially doubting she could be an idol due to her inability to understand love, she learns to perform affection for fans, eventually becoming the centerpiece of B-Komachi. At 16, she secretly carries twins, Aquamarine and Ruby, pausing her career to start a family. Returning to idol work after their birth, she is murdered at 20 by an obsessed fan. In her final moments, she realizes her genuine love for her children. Her death drives Aqua to pursue acting as part of his quest for vengeance. Her name, meaning "starry eye", references the distinctive six-pointed stars in her and her children's eyes.

Why this record matters
The phrase “wikimedia list article” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q123600776. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
