Himeno Ayanokoji is a student at Touou Academy. She placed 4th in a Love Live SIF N Girls popularity poll. The top three ranking girls in the poll (Emma Verde, Shizuku Osaka, Kanata Konoe) later went on to star in Love Live Perfect Dream Project. There was a small chance for Himeno to star in the main cast of PDP, as she ranked in the top 9 girls in the poll, however, the decision was made to create 6 new idols alongside the top 3 winners of the poll. (From llsif fandom wiki)
