Won-Won... WONDERHOI☆ I'm Otori Emu of WonderlandsxShowtime! Ehehe, isn't Emu such a cute and fun name? Thanks to this name, I can always be smiling! It also means that whoever hears my name can find it interesting and start smiling, too! So? What do you think? Does my name make you smile? It'd make me happy if you smile! Then let's all strike a really wonderhoi pose together right now♪ ...hmm? Why? What do you mean, why? Because it's fun! Alright! One, two... WONDERHOI☆ Come on! You too, Tsukasa-kun! Now everyone together! Won-Won.. WONDERHOI☆ Fufu, I can't wait to do it with all our guests during the show♪ I wonder how many of them will come. Maybe it'll be as many as when I came here to watch shows with my grandpa. Ah, but we should always aim higher! So maybe even more people will come than before... I want so many people to come that the entire Phoenix Wonderland grounds will be filled with them! Alrighty! That means we got to practice our wonderhoi pose even more for all those people! ...eh? What about a greeting? Oh, that's right! We're supposed to be practicing our greeting, aren't we? Ehehe. Okie dokie♪ So then, umm... There was once a time when the Wonder Stage was short on staff and couldn't put on shows, so customers stopped coming by, and it got really lonely here. But this place holds so many wonderful memories for me, and I would love to see them put on shows again! Each show at the Wonder Stage has its own unique world. I want for as many people as possible to experience all these new worlds and put on big smiles! I'll work as hard as I can to make that happen! Alrighty! One last time, everybody! Wonderho- Hey, Tsukasa-kun, why are you stopping me? You've been looking angry this whole time, too. Oh, could it be that you're hungry? I got some taiyaki here. Want one?Ehehe, I bought them before coming here today~! There's plenty to go around, so let's all eat some☆

Background: Emu is the daughter of the owner of Phoenix Wonderland, and grew up watching shows in the park. After seeing Tsukasa fail his audition, she hires him, along with Nene and Rui, to return the dilapidated Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu wants to perform on the small Wonder Stage and keep it alive, as it was her late grandfather's favorite stage. She was inspired to make others smile by her grandfather, whom she greatly looks up to, though he passed two years before the main story.

Appearance: Emu is a short girl with big sparkly pink eyes and pink hair cut into a short, messy bob. Her voice is bright and positive. Her show outfit consists of a puffy round dress with tied bright ribbons of many sizes along the bottom edge. She wears a similar tied ribbon in her hair, down the front of the outfit, and on her shoes. Her arms have poofy little detached sleeves that look like designful drops of candy, a white opera glove on her left arm and a bracelet on her right wrist. She has mismatched thigh-high socks, with pink & white candy cane stripes on her left leg and plain white on her right. On the very bottom of her left leg where her heeled shoe meets her ankle, she wears a small, bright cyan "x". The top of her dress contains short pieces of lace that flow out onto the skirt of her expressive pink dress. In the offical image for her unit outfit, she is holding a white bowl with a yellow, pink and purple design and yellow ruffles on the side; the festive bowl holds round, colorful wrapped candies. Her casual outfit consists of a puffy pink jacket (also covered stickers and a badge or two), a yellow shirt, and blue overalls with gold button going down the front, followed by a pair of tennis shoes. Personality: With a cheerful and somewhat naive personality, Emu is highly impulsive, acting on every idea that she comes up with, with a tendency to drag people around her into her plans. Emu has established her own personal catchphrase, "Wonderhoy!☆" (「わんだほーい!☆」), which she uses as a way to motivate herself and others. [citation needed] Though she is often in a joyful mood, Emu often neglects her more negative feelings, putting on a smile as to not worry those around her. Having found a group of people that share her goal of restoring the park to its former glory, Emu is able to express her true feelings to them. Emu also seems to have a keen intuition when it comes to the sincerity of a person's expressions, as she is terrified of Mafuyu, noting that although Mafuyu is smiling on the outside, it doesn't feel "right". Though she seems airheaded, Emu is very smart and has placed in the top 3 of her school's exams. Emu is very cheerful, although those around her (especially her family) believe her to be very naive. Although she can be naive at times, she is also more mature than those around her believe her to be. She is impulsive, and acts on every idea she comes up with, if not excitedly telling her friends about it. She tends to rope those around her into her (often impulsive) plans. Her personality type is ENFP.

Relationships: Tenma Tsukasa: Fellow group member and friend. They're working together to restore Phoenix Wonderland's Wonder Stage to its former glory. Emu likes his loud personality and finds him fun to be around, to Tsukasa's occasional annoyance. She is also shown to have a great amount of admiration for him after he defends her and the stage against Emu's brothers. Emu seems to look up to him, appreciative of his kindness towards his own younger sister, in comparison to her own brothers' more neglectful attitude towards her. Kusanagi Nene: Fellow group member and friend. Emu thinks she's extremely talented at singing, while Nene thinks Emu is a weirdo alongside the rest of their troupe. Despite this, Nene is shown to genuinely care very much for Emu, and is quick to stand up for her to Emu's brothers. Nene wants to help Emu achieve her goal. Kamishiro Rui: Fellow group member and friend. Emu is impressed by his over-the-top tendencies and thinks he is fun, while Rui thinks she's wonderfully bizarre. Rui and Emu sync very well, the two being able to communicate even when Tsukasa and Nene do not understand them. Tenma Saki: Good friends who first meet in the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival Executive Committee's planning sessions after Emu loudly bursts into the planning room. The two are quick to get along, sharing the same enthusiam about making the Sports Festival as fun as it can be. From there they grow to become good friends, meeting again when Tsukasa invites Saki and her bandmates to Phoenix Wonderland. Emu is happy to hear about the memories that Saki has of the times she spent at Phoenix Wonderland as a kid. Mochizuki Honami: Friends and classmates in class 1-B. Kiritani Haruka: Friends who first officially met during the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival Executive Committee during one of their planning sessions, though Haruka had heard about Emu prior to the event. After Emu explains her desire to make the Sports Festival an event that can be fun and motivating for everyone, Haruka steps up and offers her support, much to Emu's gratitude. During the festival the two become a part of the same team and successfully win the race. Emu explains that it was the desire to be able to say "We did it!" to Haruka that gave her the motivation to give her all and win the race. The two become good friends from then on. Azusawa Kohane: Friends who were part of the same group at the Seaside School. Kohane is a big fan of Phoenix Wonderland. Asahina Mafuyu: An upperclassman that Emu was paired with for the 3-legged race during the Miyamasuzaka Sports Festival. She can tell that Mafuyu's smiles aren't real, and is outright terrified of her as a result. Despite finding Mafuyu scary, she expresses a desire to make her genuinely smile, though her efforts usually don't work out. In At This Festival Bathed in Twilight, she learned from other 25-ji, Nightcord de. members about Mafuyu's true personality and past. In the final chapter, Emu hopes Mafuyu can someday find what she wants to do the most. Shinonome Ena: When Emu and Ena met in Paint What I Love ♪ Rainbow Canvas, Ena was initially very envious of Emu's drawing skills. However, Emu expressed that she liked Ena's art, surprising the latter, and that she would defend Ena if anyone mocked her drawings. Hatsune Miku: Emu and Miku are a lot alike — both full of energy, life, onomatopoeias, and utter chaos. Emu loves the Wonderland SEKAI and Miku loves it when Emu comes to visit. They often end up in some sort of shenanigans, once almost falling off the Wonderland SEKAI's flying train.[1] KAITO: Emu respects KAITO and views him as a reliable older brother figure, referring to him as "KAITO-oniisan", or "Big Brother KAITO" in English. She and Rui are perhaps the only character in the SEKAI to view KAITO as the older brother figure he desires to be viewed as, rather than a parental figure, as both Tsukasa and MEIKO seem to believe that KAITO is like a father. Otori Keisuke: Emu's oldest brother. He often shuts down Emu's new ideas and plans for the park, stating that they are too idealistic. Although Emu tries her best to remain positive, her brothers' criticism does damage her spirit. It's also shown that Emu is also quite sensitive to rejection and disapproval, even when indirect, which may be another result of this criticism. After Wonderlands x Showtime puts on a show using the entire park as a stage in the Wonder Magical Showtime! event, Keisuke becomes more considerate towards her ideas. He even says "Wonderhoy" with her in the final chapter. Otori Shousuke: Emu's second oldest brother. He is usually annoyed by her behavior, shutting her ideas down with blunt words. Shousuke is particularly harsh towards her, calling her selfish and telling Emu that both her and her ideas are dumb. After Wonderlands x Showtime puts on a show using the entire park as a stage in the Wonder Magical Showtime! event, Shousuke becomes more sympathetic towards her ideas, which Emu is very happy about. Otori Hinata: Emu's older sister. Emu seems to be the closest to her out of all the Otori siblings, and they often go shopping together.
