Learn about Maki Nishikino, the 15-year-old piano prodigy and composer from Love Live! Discover her background, personality, and hobbies in this guide.

Hey there! So, you're looking into Maki Nishikino, huh? She's a pretty cool character, and at 15 years old, she's one of the main stars of _Love Live!_. Let's break her down. Maki's a first-year high school student, born on April 19th, making her an Aries. You'll notice her crimson hair and purple eyes, and her main color is red/red-pink. She stands at 161 centimeters and has blood type AB. She's also part of a mini idol unit called BiBi. She's voiced by Eriko Hori (Pile) in Japanese and Caitlin Glass in English. Caitlin has voiced a ton of other characters too, like Saki Nikaido in _Zombie Land Saga_ and Mina Ashido in _My Hero Academia_. ### Background Maki comes from a family of doctors, and there's a bit of pressure for her to follow in their footsteps. This initially made her hesitant to join µ's because it meant potentially giving up music. But hey, her family is loaded! It turns out her parents own a beach house, which µ's ended up using in Season 1, Episode 10. And get this, they also have a vacation house in the mountains, revealed in Season 2, Episode 2. ### Personality Maki can be a bit of a tsundere, meaning she has trouble showing her true feelings. She's also pretty stubborn. Remember when they were at the beach? She was kind of withdrawn until Nozomi Toujou started a pillow fight one night, and Maki finally joined in. ### Clubs and Hobbies This is where Maki really shines. She's amazing at playing the piano and is the main composer for the group. When she's not making music, she enjoys photography and stargazing. ### Gallery There are some images of Maki if you want to check them out.
