Mama Sasaki

Mama Sasaki is the mother of Aarin, and the wife of Lord Sasaki. She is a cunning woman, and unlike the traditional housewives of Japan her husband is always keen to hear her advice on important matters. Seeing Aarin's potential for stardom at an early age she had an active role in promoting her when she was a child. The two appeared together on several TV shows, easily arranged by mentioning the family name. With the hard work of Mama Sasaki, and Aarin's impeccable charm, TV channels were soon grovelling before her to allow Aarin to appear on their show. With this Mama Sasaki took more of a background role in her daughter's career, while keeping an iron grasp on her daughter. Eventually signing up her daughter on Stardust's roster, she was at first a bit weary of The Manager's wild scheme for an idol group. However, she gave him his trust, and soon enough saw that he was indeed a miracle worker; a man with a vision. Headstrong as The Manager can be, he was no match for Mama Sasaki, who made sure that everything that happened with the group, and her precious daughter, happened on her terms.

Mama Sasaki is one of the very few people that commands Aarin's respect, and even her fear. Raising her to be a proper lady she would allow no indecency from her daughter, and some would claim she's kept Aarin on a leash too short. As Aarin grew up she has taken to openly protesting her mother's overprotectiveness via song (most noticably Aarin wa Hankouki!, and Aarin wa Aarin). This appears to have been an effective technique, as Aarin has gradually been given more and more freedom.
