- Fan Nickname: All Takarasiennes have at least one nickname, referred to as their aishou ("pet name," "nickname," or "term of endearment"). There's no rhyme or reason behind them getting an aishou: their actual names (ex: Tani), alternate readings of their names, memorable incidents behind the scenes, etc. It's considered impolite to use a Takarasienne's real name unless they themselves chose to disclose it, or continue working in the entertainment industry after retirement from Zuka under their real name. (Ex: Tsukino Himeka is now using her real name, Fujioka Sayaka).
