Ami Onuki (Japanese: 大貫 亜美, Hepburn: Ōnuki Ami, born September 18, 1973) is a Japanese singer, musician and a member of J-pop group PUFFY, along with Yumi Yoshimura.

Ami is the animated counterpart of Ami Onuki. She is one of the members with Yumi Yoshimura and one of the two main protagonists of the series. She is voiced by Janice Kawaye.

Background[]

Career[]

She has co-hosted several Japanese TV shows with the "cool" half of PUFFY, Yumi Yoshimura, including the talk show Pa-Pa-Pa-Pa-Puffy, part of a morning show called Saku-Saku, and the 2006 series Hi Hi Puffy Bu, in which Ami and Yumi perform one given task each week to comedic effect.

Personal life[]

She married Teru, the vocalist of the rock band Glay and announced the birth of their baby girl on her blog in March 2003. On PUFFY's 2007 greatest hits album Hit & Fun, Ami is pictured both on the CD cover and within the CD insert clearly wearing both an engagement and wedding ring on her left ring finger, and she continues to wear her wedding ring in pictures on the PUFFY Staff Diary.

Legacy[]

On Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, she is vocally portrayed by Japanese American actress Janice Kawaye. In the show, her hair is pink and done in the classic odango atama hairstyle famously first worn by Usagi Tsukino from the Sailor Moon media franchise.

Instruments[]

Ami can play:

  • Guitar
  • Drums (PUFFY SPIKE Daisakusen - Owaranai Uta)
  • Harmonica (Kore ga Watashi no Ikiru Michi)
  • Timpani (Jet Tour '98 - Ai no Shirushi)
  • Trumpet (Cosmic*Wonder)

Personality[]

Ami is known for her girly-girl and goody-two-shoes personality. As the optimist, Ami always looks on the bright side of things and finds a solution to every situation she is involved in. She loves rainbows, bunnies (cute animals), sparkles and anything else typically pretty, which is the opposite of Yumi, who likes things more targeted to a tomboyish and unisex demographic.

She also cares a lot about how other people think and tries not to be selfish. This makes Ami willing to help everyone and find solutions for anyone she cares. On the other side, however, she also hides her real mind and opinions in order to never disappoint others.

In the pilot, she was depicted being less comical.

Appearance[]

Ami has fair skin, hot pink eyes, and long hot pink hair that goes down to her waist. She also partially ties her hair into buns. She also usually wears a flower hairclip. She has black mascara.

She favors the pop music of the '60s and wears an orange, yellow, and bubblegum pink patterned go-go dress that has a white collar with two points, a white belt with an circular buckle in the center, and also carries a daisy flower barrette in her hair on every occasion, a silver-and-emerald bracelet on her right wrist and an orange beaded bracelet on her left wrist, and white knee-high go-go boots with the zipper lying where her feet is located.

List of Other Outfits[]

For sleepwear, Ami wears a pink sleeved nightgown with a flower in the middle.

For formal wear seen in "Opera Yumi", Ami wears a yellow formal gown with yellow opera gloves, yellow earrings, and has her hair tied in a bun.

For swimwear, Ami wears a pastel blue bikini with a yellow heart and olive-colored sandals. She already had a lime green ribbon with her flower patterns on it, which was eaten by a shark in "Surf's Up", while she and Yumi got lost in the ocean because they were bad at surfing.

For ninja wear, Ami wears a lavender ninja outfit with a lavender balaclava.

As a magician's assistant, she wears a pastel blue headband, pastel blue swimsuit, and golden pumps.

For her artist outfit, she wears a dark green long-sleeved dress with paint marks and retains her go-go boots.

In "Secret Origin" and the flashback from "Super Zero", as a kid, she wore her hair in pigtails, and a black long sleeve shirt, a white flounced skirt, white socks and black mary jane shoes.

In the pilot, she had more desaturated hair that was also more of a shade of red, two flowers (that were a darker shade of yellow) that shared the usual pigtailed bun. a long-sleeved mulberry shirt with a cerise button, a white collar and circular puffy sleeves on top of its long sleeves which have white tips at the end, a dark cerise tank top with a heart on it, long pink pants that have heart patterns, and mulberry and cerise go-go boots. In some shots, she has ponytails instead, accompanied by golden beads.

Powers[]

Ami can play her drums with her bare feet, as seen in both "Ami Goes Bad" and "Mean Machine." Some episodes such as "Julie AmiYumi" shows that she is also capable of playing electric guitar like Yumi, who is main guitarist of the band. Ami can crush a handheld gaming device with her hand as seen in "The Legend of Mei Pie". She is also a ninja like Yumi, though not as skillful as Yumi. Ami can also throw things far away as seen in "Gridiron Maidens", because of always pounding on the drums. She is also capable of performing hypnosis, which was revealed in the episode "Olé!" when Ami and Yumi team up to hypnotize El Diablo, the bull that the mayor of Los Gatos Feos made them fight.

Some episodes and intermission music videos shows that Ami is capable of driving various vehicles, such as her own scooter, the tour bus and a prop plane.
