Mei Yoneme is a main character in Love Live! Superstar!!. She is a third-year student at Yuigaoka Girls' High School. She is both a second-generation member of Liella! and a member of the sub-unit CatChu!. Her image color is rouge.

Background

When Mei was younger, she was often mischaracterized as a delinquent due to her "scary eyes", which in reality turns out to be a side effect of her poor eyesight. This affected the way she perceived herself, and thought she didn't suit being a school idol, despite liking them a lot. She initially enrolled in Yuigaoka to watch Liella! from a distance as a fan, and had no intention in joining the group until she was personally invited by the club members after they saw how passionate she was about them.

Mei has been friends with Shiki since middle school.

Mei can play piano.

She becomes the president of the School Idol Club following Chisato's graduation.

Personality

Mei speaks to strangers in a rather abrasive tone and comes off as frightening to other students, but she is actually very shy and has a diehard adoration for school idols that she keeps secret out of fear of being judged. Mei gets embarrassed when she is called "cute".

After joining, Mei starts to come out of her shell, and becomes much more comfortable being herself around her new friends. Her tone of speaking changes from sarcastic and dry to calm and soft during live performances. She is very close with Shiki, and confides in her regularly about her troubles.

Appearance

Mei has a slim figure with red hair that is tied into a side bun and has blue eyes.

Etymology

The name Mei is written in katakana (メイ), which has no special meaning. Her name is officially written in Chinese as 芽衣, meaning "bud, sprout" (芽) (me) and "clothing, garment" (衣) (i).
Mei's surname Yoneme means "rice woman" (米女). While it is a real surname, it is extremely rare and exists in very small numbers.
- "米" read as Yone (よね) translates to "rice, paddy".

Trivia

Along with Kinako Sakurakoji, Mei fulfills the pure attribute of the Liella! second years.
Mei is the only Yugiaoka student seen not wearing a ribbon on her school uniform.
The fourth episode of the second season reveals that she has bad eyesight, as this was the reason why she terrifies other students due to her slight squinting.
