Shiraishi Minoru serves as Akira's co-host on the Lucky Channel. Starting as a shy and frightened host, by each episode he gains more confidence and eventually becomes very energetic and starts to overshadow Akira, which easily annoys her. He also is seen in a few episodes within Konata and friends' classes. The character is based off of the actual voice actor, Shiraishi Minoru, who sings anime themes and other songs at the end of many Lucky Star episodes. Minoru is always afraid of being fired.
