| Japanese name: Aino Minako American name: Mina Birthday: October 22 Blood type: B Favorite colors: Red and yellow Hobbies: Wasting time Favorite foods: Ramen, curry rice, and gyouza Least favorite food: Shiitake mushrooms Favorite class: Physical education Least favorite classes: Everything else Guarded by the planet Venus, Aino Minako is a very cute and passionate 16 year old girl who enjoys life and is often found surrounded by her friends. She is usually a very cheery person, much like how Usagi acts most of the time (If she was a bit more clumsy, they would look like twins!). Minako loves going after idols, so she usually hangs around with the Three Lights. Minako is very agile and athletic, and loves playing volleyball. She started playing volleyball at a young age. Minako currently lives with her parents in Minato-ku, though we never get to see them. Is an actress, most famous for being Sailor V, which was a previous manga by Takeuchi Naoko in 1991. As Sailor Venus, Minako had been around helping the police long before Sailor Moon appeared, going around as Sailor V. She was a mysterious senshi at the time, and was the last of the inner senshi to get together with the team. She was also the substitute for the Moon Princess before Sailor Moon appeared. After Usagi was known to be the Moon Princess, Sailor Venus became the leader of the group. Because of her combat experience, Minako's fighting abilities were above the rest of the inner senshis at the beginning... kind of like the "big sister" in the sailor team. Her advisor was Artemis, just like how Usagi has Luna around her all the time. |
