Megumi Fujishima is a character in Love Live! Hasu no Sora Jogakuin School Idol Club.

She belongs to the academy's 102nd class and, during her time as a student, performed in the school idol unit Miracle Park!.

Within Miracle Park!, she was active alongside senior member Sachi Ogami and later with junior members Rurino Osawa and Hime Anyoji.

She is also one of the three students known collectively as the academy's "Great Triangle" of the 102nd class.

Her signature greetings include "Hallo-Megu!" and "Bye-Megu!".

She freely riffs on this style with variations such as "Nice to meet-Megu," "Good evening-Megu," and "Happy New Year-Megu."

Her fanbase is called the Megu Party, and Megumi calls herself its party leader.

She is implied to be from Ishikawa Prefecture, partly because of her long connection with Rurino and her familiarity with local culture.

She worked as a child talent from elementary school onward and is fully aware of her own cuteness.

She puts serious effort into looking cute and charming, and her dream is to captivate the whole world, which also became Miracle Park!'s goal.

At the same time, she has almost no interest in things she does not care about.

Because of that, her academic performance is poor, and she was effectively pushed into attending Hasu no Sora to improve her general education.

She entered the school through a recommendation admission route in the arts field.

Rurino Osawa is her childhood friend from back when their houses stood next to each other, and Megumi calls her Ruri-chan.

She calls her close friends Kozue Otomune and Tsuzuri Yugiri by their given names without honorifics.

She usually adds affectionate suffixes to juniors and addresses seniors more formally.

Megumi has very long beige hair that falls past her waist, styled in twin side-up bunches.

Her eyes are purple.

At 160 cm, she is more average in height than her classmates Kozue and Tsuzuri.

Her measurements are undisclosed, though fans in-universe often describe her as especially glamorous.

After graduation, she adopts a more mature look.

She wears her hair in a ponytail and dresses in a black high-neck knit top with a gray jacket and skirt.

In front of fans, Megumi usually switches into an adorable idol mode.

She is bright, talkative, and naturally good at pulling people in with cute gestures and clever remarks.

Her talking skills are one of her strengths.

At one point, she even kept things running through conversation alone when a live show started late.

In private, however, she is much more blunt and cocky.

She speaks casually, often in a rougher tone, and tends to tease the people around her.

Outside of school idol work, fan service, beauty care, and having fun, her daily habits are not exactly diligent.

She dislikes improving in areas she finds boring and often jokes around instead.

She especially enjoys provoking Kozue.

Even her juniors sometimes lose patience with her unserious side, but she is also very caring and dependable when others truly need help.

Megumi takes self-care seriously and never neglects beauty work.

She scolds Rurino for not doing makeup properly and often gives beauty advice to the other members, with cosmetics becoming one of her signature motifs.

She loves shopping, claims to be a regular at Laforet Harajuku, and even visited accessory shops during school trips.

She is also highly skilled with devices and editing, using those talents for both school idol activities and her personal channel.

She taught editing and related technical skills to Rurino and Hime.

In Kosuzu Kachimachi's self-produced film during the 104th term, Megumi handled filming and directing.

She enjoys games and is very comfortable with Minecraft, including in livestreams.

On the other hand, she was a complete beginner at first-person shooters until she met Hime.

She is also a talented illustrator.

She can draw polished anime-style portraits of club members even casually on a whiteboard during live broadcasts.

Her symbolic image is an angel, matching her member color.

When drawing animal icons for herself, she often uses a shepherd dog, reflecting her fondness for German Shepherds.

She loves sweets, especially Japanese confections.

Another favorite not listed in her profile is matcha doughnuts, and she often takes other members to cafes such as Starbucks.

She also likes meat and fish, especially negitoro and salmon.

She can decorate store-bought sponge cake, but she rarely cooks for herself, which leaves her dorm refrigerator nearly empty.

Megumi is bad with money.

Rurino has so little faith in her financial judgment that she flatly told Megumi never to try stock trading.

She also dislikes insects.

In one side work, she is shown avoiding cicadas and ants.

Underneath her playful exterior, she has a fierce temper when faced with unfairness or sadness.

When she snaps, her voice drops and she can start shouting, though Kozue says this is partly just how Megumi vents stress before getting back on her feet.

She also has a strong sense of justice and cannot ignore it when friends get hurt.

Her weakness is that she cannot resist someone pleading with her using a puppy-like expression, which she believes may be connected to her affection for dogs.

Her ideal school idol is someone cute and cool who keeps running forward at full speed.

She believes she should be the kind of ultimate school idol others admire, and she proudly calls Miracle Park! the strongest unit with Rurino and Hime.

Although Megumi says being club president would not suit her because she is not the hardworking type, Kozue has said Megumi might actually have become a good leader.

That impression reportedly collapsed after a first-year midterm exam revealed just how bad Megumi was academically.

Rurino says Megumi is naturally smart.

Even so, her actual grades are terrible.

Her mother made her attend Hasu no Sora partly to force some basic education into her.

The results are mixed at best.

She misuses idioms, struggles with kanji reading, gave up helping with paperwork, makes plans full of holes, and once failed to finish summer homework until September.

According to Rurino, Megumi keeps focusing on practice even right before make-up exams.

She reacts badly to words like study and test.

Still, she is willing to learn if the topic interests her, such as digital music production.

Among the Great Triangle, she is the lyric writer.

She wrote lyrics for songs such as Embracing Petals, and songwriting seems to sharpen her vocabulary in ways ordinary studying never could.

Her reputation for bad academics became such a running joke that an April Fool's prank about her claimed she had been held back a year.

There is even an in-school rumor about a legendary student called the Queen of the Remedial Room, and Megumi laughed at it without realizing it was essentially about her.

Megumi's dorm room is simple but girly.

It features a light blue bed decorated with cushions and garlands, with posters and artwork on display.

She uses a laptop for editing and watching videos.

Near her pillow sits an acoustic guitar named Angel-chan.

She has used this guitar since her first year.

The name was chosen from viewer suggestions during a livestream.

The model is believed to be a Takamine DMP552C DBS or PTU121C DBS.

Megumi encouraged Hime to try guitar in the 104th term and let her practice on this very instrument.

Megumi taught herself guitar after first touching one during a television project.

She also composes with it and later humbly asked Kozue, who had experience, to teach her more about composition.

A recreation of her dorm room was even displayed at a special event booth tied to the franchise.

That says a lot about how memorable the room became to fans.

Megumi worked in entertainment from elementary school through middle school.

By her own account, her career was going smoothly and focused mainly on television.

Supplementary story material explains that she was known well enough to appear on major programs regularly.

She also has experience with nationwide location shoots and one-day job experiences, including roles such as inn hostess and nurse.

Because entering Hasu no Sora forced her to suspend that career, she long resented being made to attend the school.

Even so, her career was not effortless, and she had failed many auditions behind the scenes.

Megumi joined the School Idol Club from her first year.

However, before Love Live!, she was injured during a school festival stage performance and fell from the stage.

Her leg eventually healed, but the incident left her traumatized.

Although she could dance during practice, she would freeze on stage and become unable to perform properly.

She felt crushed by the idea that others had to cover for her.

Eventually, she told Kozue and Tsuzuri she should stop trying to return.

As a result, Kozue and Tsuzuri entered Love Live! without her, though later circumstances led the three of them to discuss things and withdraw from the national competition.

The second-year trio then drifted apart and agreed to keep their distance for a while.

During this period, from the autumn of her first year to August of her second year, Megumi was effectively on hiatus from the club.

She still appeared as an individual streamer and ran her own visible online activities.

Everything changed when Rurino came back from California and transferred into Hasu no Sora.

Megumi had hidden the truth about her injury and trauma from her childhood friend, even as Rurino had become interested in school idols because of her.

Rurino came to the school largely for Megumi's sake.

Megumi tried to push her away, supposedly for Rurino's future, but Rurino's determination eventually broke through her defenses.

A possible path as a vocals-only school idol was discussed.

Megumi rejected it because giving up dance meant giving up something deeply tied to her bond with Rurino.

At an August live event, Rurino performed what was framed as a live shared by the two of them, even though she stood there alone.

Watching from the audience, Megumi could not stay away when she realized Rurino was waiting for her.

She ran onto the stage, danced with Rurino, and succeeded.

That moment allowed her to overcome her trauma and officially return to school idol activities.

The two then announced the rebirth of the traditional unit Miracle Park!.

This return is one of the biggest turning points in her story.

Megumi's dream is to make the whole world fall under her spell.

As a child, she imagined that dream while playing with Rurino.

After becoming a school idol, that dream shifted into captivating the whole world from Hasu no Sora.

She carried that ambition into Love Live! competition.

After a defeat on the final stage, she was furious and frustrated.

But instead of breaking, she doubled down and swore Miracle Park! would rise again.

At first, she planned to return to talent work after graduation.

In the end, however, she refused to live on a path others had laid out for her.

She chose instead to train overseas as a performer.

After graduation, she left alone for California to pursue the dream of moving audiences around the world.

Although others worried about her language skills and daily life abroad, later story material shows that she is managing.

She reappears from California while looking ahead to an even wider future for school idols.

Separate from the School Idol Connect platform, Megumi runs her own streaming channel called Hallo-Megu Channel.

Its style is a face-cam talk stream similar to the club's regular broadcast content.

The platform was stated to be YouTube at one point, making Megumi effectively a YouTuber.

In real-world franchise presentation, these streams are delivered through the official channel.

The channel often features chatting with the Megu Party and playful themed segments.

Her greetings are a major part of its identity, including Hallo-Megu! and Bye-Megu!

She has discussed food, games, anime, and hobbies there.

Topics have included a negitoro rice bowl recipe she called her own style of egg-on-rice, Minecraft's cherry blossom trees, special doughnut collaborations, and Pokemon.

Her favorite Pokemon is Reshiram.

She says she fell in love with it through her mother's copy of Pokemon Black when she was young.

Her recommended anime is Demon Slayer, and her favorite character from it is Tamayo.

She has also used the channel to talk warmly about the School Idol Club members she supported even while inactive.

A running joke is that she somehow keeps streaming during test periods.

This is especially ironic given that those same exams are often why club activities are suspended in the first place.

Later, after returning to the club, she began participating more regularly in School Idol Connect broadcasts as well.

For a time, Hallo-Megu Channel even ran in parallel with both YouTube and the in-universe school platform.

Many familiar customs in the current School Idol Club started with Megumi.

Her influence remained even after graduation.

Examples include commemorative photos kept in the club room.

She also introduced the timed auto-start feature for the club's live broadcasts.

She helped normalize appearing in loungewear during streams.

She also helped establish certain naming styles for post-stream segments and even helped make ASMR projects a recurring idea.

Even newer members from later terms who knew her only partially are said to respect her legacy.

Megumi left a real mark on the club culture.

Rurino Osawa

Rurino is Megumi's childhood friend, partner, and emotional equal.

They met as children when their houses were next to each other and spent their days inventing fun together.

Before reuniting at Hasu no Sora, Megumi had usually been the one pulling Rurino forward.

After her return to club activities, the relationship became more mutual, with both of them supporting each other.

Megumi wants the whole world to see how cute Rurino is.

At the same time, she secretly likes the idea that Rurino's cool side is something only she truly understands.

Their bond is close, deep, and occasionally messy.

They argue often, and Megumi can get jealous or overprotective in ways she insists are not difficult at all.

Kozue Otomune

Kozue is one of Megumi's fellow 102nd-class students and longtime companions in the club.

Their early relationship was full of arguments.

Megumi once clashed with Kozue's seriousness and rigidity.

Over time, as both matured and shared more hardships, they developed genuine trust.

Even so, Megumi still finds some of Kozue's tendencies exasperating, especially her habit of carrying regrets and responsibility too heavily.

She also loves teasing Kozue and repeatedly milks jokes such as the nickname that paints Kozue as a demon.

Tsuzuri Yugiri

Megumi and Tsuzuri also go back to the beginning of their club life.

Megumi often gives her affectionate nicknames and plays along with her quirks.

More importantly, Megumi was one of the first people who could understand what Tsuzuri meant through her unusual way of expressing herself.

Tsuzuri in turn felt that Megumi was one of the first people who could truly hear her voice.

Megumi acts as a sharp-tongued but caring conversational partner for Tsuzuri.

She may joke around, but there is real closeness there.

Kaho Hinoshita and Sayaka Murano

Before fully returning to the club, Megumi watched over the first-year pair as a fan and called them her favorite girls.

Their early relationship was rocky because of Megumi's behavior toward Rurino, her half-truths, and her general lack of seriousness.

As later events unfolded, Kaho and Sayaka came to trust Megumi's ability and heart.

Even then, they still sometimes treat her too casually in daily life, which makes Megumi snap back.

Megumi and Kaho in particular have excellent chemistry in the shuffle unit Kaho-Megu Gelato.

Their combination works so well that related radio-style content became a recurring favorite.

Hime Anyoji

Megumi discovered and recruited Hime into the club.

As a senior, she helped guide Hime's development.

Hime is a huge fan of both Megumi and Rurino and often thinks Megumi looks cool no matter what she does.

That admiration can be funny, especially when Megumi makes chaotic dance choices or says unrealistic things.

After carelessly admitting she wanted to get good at shooters so people would praise her, Megumi ended up being drilled hard by Hime in gaming practice.

She became so intimidated that she later referred to Hime like a military instructor.

Izumi Katsuragi

In a later episode, Megumi worked beside Izumi Katsuragi on a promotional video project for another school's culture festival.

Their conversation there helped illuminate Megumi's respect for seniors and her ability to connect through creative work.

Mother

Megumi's mother is a jewelry designer.

She is voiced by Yukari Tamura.

She is usually gentle and speaks in a sweet tone, but she is extremely strict about dishonesty.

When Megumi damaged an accessory as a child and then hid the truth, her mother cared more about the lie than the damage and reportedly lectured her for six hours.

Megumi's mother was also college friends with Rurino's mother, and the two work at the same company.

This deepens the long-standing connection between the two families.

A major late story revelation centers on Megumi's complicated feelings about her mother's dreams and sacrifices.

That conflict becomes one of the emotional foundations for Megumi's growth in her final school year.

Harino

Megumi's family keeps a White Shepherd dog named Harino, nicknamed Hari-chan.

The name combines a crystal-related word with part of Rurino's name, making it a meaningful choice.

Rurino oddly gets barked at whenever she visits.

Hime, by contrast, receives a much calmer reaction.

In her first year, Megumi was rougher, sharper, and more openly rebellious than she is later.

She had been forced into Hasu no Sora and looked down on the school at first.

She joined the School Idol Club partly out of boredom and partly to resist the path others expected from her.

She bragged about her talent career, acted more selfishly, and pushed for songs that would make her stand out.

Her early streaming persona was also very different.

In fact, her first-year broadcast archives were hidden after her injury, partly because of the accident and partly because she considered them embarrassing black history.

Back then, she spoke more slowly, laughed awkwardly, pretended not to be good with tech, and generally approached the streams in a shallow way.

Watching that old version of herself later was physically painful for her.

Still, her time in Miracle Park! with Sachi taught her something crucial.

She realized that performing was not just about being cute, but about hearing people's joy up close and turning that into a dream.

Even in that early period, she had talent.

She once won a monthly MVP distinction on School Idol Connect.

103rd Term

For much of the early 103rd-term story, Megumi appears only occasionally.

She serves more as a streamer and observer than an active club member.

Her past is gradually explained by Kozue, Tsuzuri, and Rurino.

The full picture reveals the injury, trauma, and emotional fallout that caused her hiatus.

Once she returns, she quickly throws herself back into things.

She tries to tighten the relaxed atmosphere in the club and takes charge of a major hot spring inn promotional event.

That event becomes messy after a promotional video she edited succeeds too well and attracts far more visitors than expected.

Megumi feels responsible and tries to shoulder everything alone until the others help resolve the crisis.

Later, she clashes badly with Rurino over the kind of activity Miracle Park! should pursue.

Their conflict eventually feeds into shuffle unit projects and pushes both of them to confront their own weaknesses.

Megumi forms Kaho-Megu Gelato with Kaho Hinoshita.

While she has fun making a bright, cute-centered performance, she is shaken by the quality of the others' work and nearly runs away emotionally before reconciling with Rurino.

She also becomes the unit's lyric-focused member and helps write new material for later performances.

This side of her creative talent gains more importance over time.

104th Term

In the 104th term, Megumi wants Miracle Park! to gain another member.

Using lessons learned from her previous conflict with Rurino, she pushes for growth rather than clinging too tightly.

That leads to Hime Anyoji joining the unit.

Megumi and Rurino recruit her after discovering she is both a strong admirer of Miracle Park! and a famous streamer.

During the Nadeshiko Festival, Megumi aims for Miracle Park! to win the top prize.

Unfortunately, she spends most of the preparation period stuck in remedial study sessions.

This leaves Rurino and Hime handling much of the planning.

When hidden feelings and misunderstandings surface, Megumi helps both of them confront what they really want and encourages more honest communication within the trio.

Later, when Hime falls into a slump over balancing games and school idol life, Megumi offers a very Megumi-like answer.

She suggests that if Hime loves many things, then she should simply add even more things she loves.

Megumi introduces Hime to guitar and nudges her toward exploring wider interests.

In the end, Hime realizes what she truly loves is doing things together with other people, which helps her recover.

Megumi still strongly resents having been forced into a school life focused on studying.

Even so, she becomes serious about graduating.

Her final major conflict comes when her mother reminds her of an old promise: by the time she graduates, she must become a respectable, well-rounded person.

Because Megumi has repeatedly hidden the truth about her lack of progress, she fears being locked down at home after graduation.

The club members rally around her and hold intense cram sessions in general knowledge, manners, and home economics.

Thanks to that support, Megumi gathers the strength to face her mother honestly.

A painful revelation involving her mother's own dreams nearly breaks her.

But with support, especially a sharp push from Kozue, Megumi decides to carry all the pain and sadness and still deliver joy.

She then focuses on creating the song Key of Like! for the regional competition.

She sends her mother a video invitation to watch the performance, and the group successfully advances.

In another later episode, she works with Hime and Izumi Katsuragi to produce a public-relations video for another school.

This highlights her technical ability and collaborative spirit.

Megumi graduates from Hasu no Sora alongside Kozue and Tsuzuri at the end of the 104th term.

Shortly before graduation, she performs her final solo stream.

105th Term and Beyond

After graduating, Megumi goes to California alone.

She does this to continue training as a performer and chase her dream on a global scale.

She later reappears in story material from abroad, shown thinking about her old friends and the future awaiting school idols.

On December 4, she also returns to Hallo-Megu Channel for a long-awaited stream, showing fans her face again.

Megumi is voiced by Kona Tsukine, who, like the character, is also a former child actor.

Kona had previously attended a live performance by the franchise's original group when she was in elementary school.

She reportedly auditioned for the franchise three times before finally being cast in this project.

At the time, she was close to graduating high school and had been considering either university or regular employment if she failed again.

In a striking parallel to Megumi, Kona also shares several personal similarities with the character.

These include child acting experience, being self-taught on guitar, owning the same guitar model, liking negitoro and sweet bean paste, being good at drawing girls, and being weak at both studying and cooking.

Megumi's surname may have been inspired by place names in neighboring Fukui Prefecture, though this is speculative.

Her given name also led fans to jokingly treat a roadside station called Megumi Hakusan as a kind of pilgrimage spot.

Her dog Harino's name is derived from a crystal-related word plus Rurino's name.

Even the color of Megumi's guitar is said to resemble lapis lazuli blue, tying back to Rurino again.

Her member icon is a narration microphone, though fans often use either a microphone or angel imagery when representing her.

Because the series follows a real-time-linked timeline, her birth year can be inferred as 2006.
