When Minako is first introduced, she has been fighting on her own for some time as Sailor V, having been awoken by Artemis about a year prior to Usagi being awoken as Sailor Moon by Luna. In the anime, she spent some of that time in England, fighting as Sailor V, where she met a young police woman named Katarina and a young man called Alan, with whom she fell in love. When she found out Alan and Katarina, who was as close to her as an older sister, had become a couple, she felt betrayed and moved back to Japan, leaving the two of them to believe her to have died in an explosion.
Minako in the manga.In the manga, she stays in Japan and there becomes friends with police superintendent Natsuna Sakurada, a big Sailor V fan.
Minako almost always wears a bright red bow in her hair, even in Senshi form. As a result of her past battles, she has a relatively serious personality, and is very focused on their mission as Sailor Senshi. As time goes by, she is able to relax, and in later seasons her personality slowly mutates into a more excitable, even goofy character. With the proper conviction, an off-hand interest of hers can quickly evolve into humorously obsessive ambition. In addition to distancing her from Usagi design-wise, this is generally regarded as a delayed manifestation of the carefree life she could not enjoy while fighting solo. The beginning of this trend is often traced to the very popular second-season episode (#78), titled The Problems of Venus-Minako as a Nurse (Venus Minako no nurse daisoudou), or in English, No Thanks, Nurse Venus!
Silly or serious, Minako consistently displays great confidence, enthusiasm, and leadership skill. She is the "owner" of Artemis, the white guardian cat who introduced her to her life as a Senshi. He lives in her home (as Luna lives in Usagi's) and is one of her closest friends. She is the only senshi other than Usagi to live with both parents, although references to her family life are downplayed outside of the Sailor V manga (perhaps because her father looks almost identical to Usagi's).
For the first four anime seasons, Minako attends a different junior high school (Shiba Kōen) from the others. In the fifth season, she joins Usagi, Ami, and Makoto at Azabu Jūban High School. She belongs to the Volleyball club,[4] and her favorite class is Physical Education (while her least favorites are math and the English language).[1][5]
Planetary symbol of VenusOne of Minako's greatest loves is pop culture. She wants to be an idol, and so makes a hobby of chasing them whenever possible. Her favorite colors are yellow and red, and she also likes birds[6] and curry rice. She has trouble with shiitake mushrooms, her mother, and the police (presumably because of her experiences as Sailor V). She is blood type B and stands 157.48 centimeters tall (5'2" .[7] [8]
Minako takes her role as the 'Soldier of Love' literally, and enjoys regaling friends and acquaintances with advice about romance. She is very boy-crazy and a flirt. Despite her declared expertise, Minako herself has little personal experience in relationships, though she is generally on the lookout for opportunities. Her most consistent crush was on Yaten Kou, during the Stars storyline. Thinking about him even gave her a nosebleed at one point--a common symbol of sexual attraction in anime, and the only occurrence of this in the entire series.
Minako shares a special manga episode with Rei Hino, entitled Rei and Minako's Girls School Battle. In it, she disguises herself as a student at Rei's private school and wanders around enjoying herself (and annoying her friend). In the process, she accidentally releases an evil spirit, which attempts to eat the students.
In an early DiC promotional tape that advertised Sailor Moon to television stations, Minako was called Carrie. Another preliminary name, appearing on Kodansha's English website in an advertisement for the series, was Monica.
