About Miyako Saito
Miyako Saito runs Strawberry Productions after her husband Ichigo vanishes, and she ends up raising Aqua and Ruby in secret. Practical and sharp, she first saw the twins as a business risk, then became the closest thing they have to a mother. Miyako keeps the agency, and the new B-Komachi, alive through every crisis the idol world throws at them.
Appearance
Miyako is an elegant, sharp-eyed woman in her thirties with styled hair and a businesswoman's polished look, tailored outfits, perfect makeup and the posture of someone running a company because nobody else will. In the twins' childhood she often appears in evening dress with a wine glass and a complaint ready; in later years the glamour is the same but the manner is steadier, a manager who has survived everything her industry could throw at her.
Personality
Miyako is sharp, practical and dryly funny about her own misfortunes. She complains, about money, about her vanished husband, about the twins' secrets, and then handles everything anyway. Her love is unsentimental and total: she chose these children every day for sixteen years in a situation where walking away would have been easy. In business she is a survivor, keeping a small agency competitive in an industry that eats small agencies, and her judgement is the ballast under every Saito-family decision.
Background & Story
Miyako married Ichigo Saito, founder of Strawberry Productions, expecting a glamorous producer's life. Instead she got his agency's crisis years, and, in secret, his star's twin babies to help shelter. When Ai died and Ichigo vanished, Miyako was left holding everything: the company, the house and two children who could never be acknowledged. She kept Strawberry Productions alive through years of struggle and effectively raised Aqua and Ruby as their mother in everything but name. When Ruby decides to revive B-Komachi, it is Miyako who makes the dream administratively possible, the agency, and the twins, exist because she refused to let either fall.
