Minaru Horinouchi (堀之内実愛)

Bass Guitarist

Born July 12, 2000

A passionate wolf from Japan who, while she loves indie and punk, also has a massive love for prog rock. She joined the band in 2019 after a call for a dedicated bassist was put out. At 6'7, she is gargantuan in stature, giving off a very imposing look, but she's actually more soft-spoken and is totally harmless. On stage she does not do much extravagant, just keeping a steady presence at her position to make sure the bassline keeps going. Her history of uploading bass covers to YouTube gave the band a lot to learn about her style before she joined. Due to her upbringing with parents who run an auto repair shop, she has experience tinkering with machinery, and also enjoys older cars, driving a banged-up, blue 1986 Toyota Pickup, and visiting pick-and-pulls to harvest parts when she needs. Her primary bass is one without a headstock, with her preferring to tune it at the bottom. Like Brooklyne, she's also crafted her own amps. She also is the main (but not only) runner of MF's social media.

While technically an only child, she grew up alongside her cousins, Kozue, or "Kozy" (b. 1993), and Wakaba (b. 1994), both of whom are active professional baseball players with extremely successful careers.

For the past two years, she's been in a loving relationship with Nikita Vanthoor.

Within the group, her signature color is blue.
