Sayaka Maizono's Idol Group

Sayaka Maizono's Idol Group was a unnamed idol group in Japan that existed prior to The Tragedy. Consisting of five girls led by Sayaka Maizono, the group gained popularity and fame after having done excellent performances across the country.

The group was disbanded after The Tragedy due to Sayaka's death during the Killing School Life, Ayaka Haneyama's capture, and the status of the remaining members left unknown (with the exception of Satomi Aoba).

Prior to The Tragedy
Before the Tragedy, the idol group was extremely popular that they gained a lot of fans and admirers not only in Japan, but all around the world.

During The Tragedy
Despite their success, the girls ended up disbanding the idol group when Sayaka was trapped in Hope's Peak Academy. The remaining four members later appeared in a video, in which they appeared to be dead. It is theorized that the group was brought together and was either knocked unconscious or forced to cooperate in recording the video meant to motivate Sayaka to commit murder as part of Monokuma's motive. Following these events, it is revealed that Ayaka was forced to participate in the Demon Hunting as a target of the Warriors of Hope, however, both she and fellow member, Satomi, were revealed to have survived the Tragedy. The statuses of the remaining two members are currently unknown.
