Okay the last one would probably get some weird looks which is understandable, but I really think that Acchan was so un-idol like, which was her charm. She was like the opposite of Mayu (the eternal orthodox idol), not wanting to be center, being too shy to do things that should come naturally for an idol. I think seeing her grow from an complete unorthodox idol into the girl who literally sets the standards for being an idol is why I put her in my ranking.

 

Why is Miorin considered an unorthodox idol? I feel like she's always so poised and in character even if she gets teased on variety or if she drops in SSK rank...to me that makes her one of the best examples of a true idol.

But as for the unorthodox ones...

yeah, the whole Sporty Spice/Tomboy archetype has existed in idol groups since the 80s.

This is a tough one...there aren't really many members who I consider truly unusual or unexpected, but obviously your answers will vary depending on whether 48 is your first/only exposure to idols (lolz to those answering Acchan).

All I can come up with is...

1. Matsumura Kaori (say what you will about Kaotan, but there have been very few idols in the past who have routinely voiced their displeasure with management while still active in the group)
2. Kinoshita Momoka (because duh)
3. Sashihara Rino (for laughing in the face of scandal and turning it into talkshow soundbites)

 

I consider her unorthodox simply because her character is ... extremely different for loss of better words (what with lemons, the lisp, hard head etc. thrown all in with her unique form of airheadedness)
True that she is in character all the time but that doesn't make her anymore traditional or idol like. Paruru for example, is idol like because she's cute, but many don't consider her orthodox because of her salt.
Any idol can be in character and be extremely traditional (e.g Mayuyu) and similar to other idols, in fact the definition of unorthodox includes "contrary to what is usual, traditional, or accepted"
Miorin doesn't really fit that traditional feel imo.
