Saki Nikaido

Saki Nikaido (二階堂サキ,) was a motorcyclist in life who together with her Dorami gang conquered the entire island of Kyushu (九州 Kyūshū). She is currently the leader of Franchouchou.

She is titled as the legendary chief biker (Densetsu no Tokkō Taichō).

She was the captain of the Dorami Special Strike Unit, the legendary motorcycle gang team that conquered Kyuushu in the 1990s. As a resident of Saga, she speaks the Saga dialect and has a good knowledge of local businesses. She has a good command of kanji, so much so that she likes to write everything she hears in kanji.

Saki Nikaido
A delinquent who respects herself and threatens others: "Do you want to die?", But will immediately respect anyone with guts. In life she was obsessed with her Tamagotchi, but they always turned out to be an Oyajitchi (One of the ugliest pets).

In life, she used to hang out with her gang at "Drive-in Tori", a popular chicken restaurant, and grew up watching the Kashima Gatalympics. No wonder she was in tears when she learns that Franchouchou is scheduled to act in a commercial for the first, and later participating in the second.

Sakura outplayed her in an impromptu rap battle, earning her Saki's respect. Before that, Saki spent most of the episode antagonizing Sakura or treating her like an easy target.

Her modus operandi, even in life, was an unfettered thrill seeker who often sought out challenges, and one of those even cost her her life. She never loses this trait as a zombie and repeats the same trick she did previously, only this time she survives

She is the only one who has no experience in singing, dancing or any form of entertainment. Nonetheless, she introduces herself as an idol quite easily, keeping up vocally well and still not showing the same level of difficulty coordinating dance with the group that Lily or Junko have at different points.

Human appearance
Saki has long blonde hair with orange and green highlights tucked into a high ponytail. Her bangs are mostly swept to the left with a single orange highlight.

Her casual outfit consists of a brown and white jacket over a white blouse and a blue knee skirt. She also wears her shirt with a red tie

Zombie appearance
Like the other zombies, Saki has grayish blue skin and red eyes, along with scars on her left cheek, left arm, and right leg, as well as bandages that cover her torso, upper left arm, right arm, and left leg. As a zombie, her hair is noticeably messier and duller in color. She lets go of her hair while she sleeps.

To sleep, wear an oversized, long-sleeved shirt in light blue with orange pants.



Idol appearance
Her idol outfit changes throughout the series: On episodes 1-6, Saki wears a gold T-shirt with the word "弐" ("two") written on it, along with an orange skirt with white ruffles. Using makeup, she and the other zombies make their skin look like a normal human. Saki also wears contact lenses to achieve her golden eyes that she had as a living person.

After Saga rock, her idol outfit changed to a red jacket with a plaid decoration, orange skirt is orange with cotton inside it and knee-high boots

Character concept
Although she was a young girl, she was designed to be "pretty". And unlike the usual outfit, I think one of Saki's charms is that he likes to wear things that are easy to wear. In the Saki era, there were no people with hair colors like this, but since it's an anime, they used the "fusion of modern and nostalgia."

Personality
Saki has a tough and rebellious demeanor, qualifying Sakura as a brat and openly declaring that she has no respect for those who have no guts. However, after a successful performance, Saki takes being an idol very seriously and becomes the leader of Franchouchou. Saki also occasionally shows a soft side, as seen on episode 6, where she comforts Ai.

She is certainly impetuous and courageous, but this trait of hers ended up being her fatal flaw, because she was so determined to win the chicken game against the rival gang that she kept speeding up and fatally crashed. She gets a second chance as a zombie and does the exact same thing again. She survives this time thanks to her undead nature, even though there was no guarantee that she would have survived the accident intact enough to continue functioning.

Despite being a rude criminal with the purpose of taking over the country, she shows great kindness towards children and awareness of social norms, knowing full well that her harsh and violent attitude towards her gang will not work for her to be the idol group.

Normally, she is just as upset with Kotaro as the rest of the girls, and she didn't hesitate to look down on them. On episode 5, she becomes much nicer to him when she discovers that he has booked appearances for them in Drive-In Tori and Gatalympics, engaging in a ham-to-ham match with him for their shared enthusiasm.
