Tina Kobayakawa (小早川 ティナ Kobayakawa Tina?), nickname Ti-na, is a third-generation of the I-1club and a front member of the I-1 team.  

Appearance[]

Tina has waist-length blonde hair that has bangs hanging on the right side, green eyes and she is the second-tallest member of the I-1club, only just behind Mai Kondo where she is the third oldest member of the group, behind again Mai and also Rena Suzuki.

During rehearsals, Tina usually wears a slightly rolled up pastel blue t-shirt alongside black workout shorts. This is accompanied by slightly baggier navy-blue shorts and vibrant red trainers.

Personality[]

Tina is by far one of the calmest members out of the main seven in the I-1club, similar to her teammate Rena, never having to raise her voice even in signs of conflict. She is also known to have extremely good fashion sense when out as well.

She does sometimes come back with swift, yet calm remarks, such as when Rena Suzuki and Moka Suzuki talk about Shiho Iwasaki, Tina is able to fluster Rena by outing her desire for center. Additionally, after Moka starts leading practices as the new center of the I-1club, Tina (alongside Rena) show a soft side and confront Moka about how she is. 

Plot[]

Wake Up, Girls! Seven Idols[]

Tina's time during "Seven Idols" was fairly brief with no speaking roles present. She first is shown in the opening ritual led by Mai however this is extremely short and she does get a shot in the background near the end when performing at the Tokyo Dome.

Wake Up, Girls![]

Tina first is fully introduced in the TV anime and was now given a couple of lines, however these serve little to no significance. She does have a few scenes mainly grouped with Moka and Rena discussing matters within the group, mainly the centre position and Wake Up, Girls!.

Wake Up, Girls! Shadow of Youth[]

Moving on into "Shadow of Youth", Tina becomes slightly more involved with the main plot, albeit still receiving a little amount of lines in total. For the new single "Unmei no Megami", Tina and Rena are placed in Team M led by Moka, and she expresses surprise at the selection of the team leader.

Wake Up, Girls! Beyond the Bottom[]

She then does not make a significant appearance again until "Beyond the Bottom", when she and Rena confront Moka about her state and encourage her to not feel entirely bad about the current situation. She alongside the rest of the I-1club appear just before the Idol Festival, however she does not speak apart for a single line moments before performing. She then performs in "Tomaranai Mirai" alongside the rest of the I-1club well, however they ultimately lose against Wake Up, Girls!.
