Minako Aino

愛野美奈子

Minako is the fourth member of the Sailor Team to be discovered by [Sailor Moon](https://anilist.co/character/2030/Tsukino-Usagi), and serves as the leader of the Guardian Senshi who protect her. She uses love-related powers. In the manga and anime series she dreams of becoming a famous idol, whereas in the live-action series her character is refactored to already be a celebrity. Silly or serious, Minako consistently displays great confidence, enthusiasm, and leadership skill. She is the "owner" of [Artemis](https://anilist.co/character/5408/Artemis), the white guardian cat who introduced her to her life as a Senshi. He lives in her home (as [Luna](https://anilist.co/character/5407/Luna) lives in Usagi's) and is one of her closest friends.
