Aikatsu! or Aikatsu! Idol Activity (アイカツ! アイドルカツドウ Aikatsu! Aidoru Katsudō!?) is an arcade collectible card game in Bandai's Data Carddass line of machines, which launched in October 2012. The game revolves around using collectible cards featuring various clothes to help aspiring idols pass auditions. A television anime adaptation by Sunrise (and later by its subsidiary Bandai Namco Pictures) began airing on TV Tokyo from October 8, 2012. Two films were released in December 2014 and August 2015 respectively. Three manga adaptations have been published by Shogakukan, along with four Nintendo 3DS games published by Bandai Namco Games. The series was succeeded by Aikatsu Stars! in 2016.
The series takes place at Starlight Academy (スターライト学園 Sutāraito Gakuen?), a prestigious school with both middle and high branches, where girls train to become idols and take part in various auditions. such as live, fashion show, and drama. To participate in these auditions, players use Aikatsu cards, special cards which contain digitized dresses and accessories from various manufacturers that are used in their auditions. How well they succeed is often dependent on choosing the right combination of cards. The video games cast players in the role of a new student, who must train to become an idol and reach the top.
