Saki Hoshino (星野サキ Hoshino Saki) is a main character and a female protagonist in Akiba's Beat. She is an 18 year-old young woman and a professional student who moved to Tokyo to study a vocational course. She encounters a mysterious creature called Pinkun, who becomes her familiar and destroying delusions before her encounter with Asahi Tachibana. She is initially referred to as the "Girl in Orange".
After one of her encounters with Kotomi Sanada in Kotomi's delusionscape, Saki ends up leaving the party and ends up joining the Akihabara Freedom Fighters for a time. She eventually comes back after Kotomi knocks her back into her senses and two key items help her remember Kotomi and the others: a diary and the journal that Aoi Hoozuki gave to her. At the end of the game, Saki tells Pinkun that he was a delusion that she had thought up and Pinkun, while shocked, tells her that it was ok to nullify her delusion once more.
She carries the title, "The Innocent Daydreamer" (天真爛漫なデイドリーマー).
