:''This article is about the character in ''The Super Dimension Fortress Macross''. For the character in Robotech, see Lynn Minmei Lynn Minmay, (Japanese: リン・ミンメイ ''Rin Minmei'', Chinese: 鈴明美/林明美 Pinyin: Líng Míngměi/Lín Míngměi) is a fictional anime character from ''Super Dimension Fortress Macross'' television series and ''Macross: Do You Remember Love?'' movie.〔Character of Macross: Lynn Minmay. Pages 110-116. ''Macross Perfect Memory''. Reference Book. 260 A4 pages. Minori Library, Japan. Y2800. 1983, October 10.〕 She is also in ''Macross: Flash Back 2012'' music video collection. The first ''Macross'' series and its Minmay character was adapted as the first part of the ''Robotech'' television series. Minmay is the embodiment of the music that plays a crucial role in setting ''Macross'' apart; as such, she has become the iconic character of that series.〔 In ''Macross'' (and ''Robotech''), Minmay is the love interest of the main character Hikaru Ichijyo (Rick Hunter in Robotech) and becomes an idol singer and movie star on board the spacecraft SDF-1 Macross. Her songs, which cause confusion amongst alien Zentradi soldiers, play a critical role in Space War I against Boddole Zer's Zentradi fleet.〔 The original Japanese Minmay is voiced by Mari Iijima, who also wrote some of the songs and sang for the series.〔The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Cast. Page 254. ''Macross Perfect Memory''. Reference Book. 260 A4 pages. Minori Library, Japan. Y2800. 1983, October 10.〕〔(ADV Films Official ''Macross'' English Dub Page. )(English/Japanese Cast Information. 04-09-09 )〕〔(ADV Films Official ''Macross'' English Dub Page. )(Artwork Section: Minmay. 04-22-09 )〕〔 She became a famous J-Pop singer in part due to the success of the series. Iijima has also undertaken to reprise the role in the English dub of the series for ADV.〔 This would be the first time that a key character in an anime series was voiced by the same voice actor in both Japanese and English.〔http://www.marimusic.com/〕 An English translation of the Chinese characters in Lynn Minmay's name is "bright and beautiful bell". The localizers of ''Macross'' in Chinese-speaking territories changed the character 鈴 (Líng, "bell") for her family name to 林 (Lín "grove"). Minmay is Japanese-Chinese by ethnicity. Her Chinese-Japanese father is Líng Bǎoxióng (鈴宝雄). Her mother is Shigeyo (しげよ).〔 To some extent, the morale raised by Lynn Minmay in Space War I is very reminiscent of Vera Lynn during the Second World War. ==Background== Born in Yokohama Chinatown, Japan (though she is of partial Chinese descent) as Linn Minmei, Minmay moved in with her uncle Shaochin (少江) and aunt Feichun (慧中) on South Ataria Island in hopes of finding the path to fulfill her dream of becoming a star.〔〔〔 On the day of the Zentradi invasion, she meets Hikaru and a series of events leads to her being swept off on the SDF-1 ''Macross'' along with the rest of the surviving population from that island. While on the space fortress, Minmay wins the Miss Macross beauty pageant and is propelled into celebrity.〔〔〔 When the ''Macross'' returns to Earth, she is the only civilian allowed off the space fortress. After her trip home in Japan (where her parents remained), Minmay returned to the fortress with her cousin Lynn Kaifunn (and Hikaru's competition for her affection) in tow. Her beauty and singing talent also win over several Zentradi spies sent to explore human society, who spread their impressions among their fleetmates, thus unwittingly evoking peace-oriented attitudes among the alien aggressors. Ultimately, Minmay sings the songs that end the first war against the Zentradi.〔 During the second part of the series, the very fame and success she craved finally left her tired and virtually alone. She tries to run away from her celebrity status and start anew, with a more simple life alongside Hikaru, who is now more confused than ever in defining his feelings for Minmay and Misa Hayase; all of this while new conflicts arise between the human and Zentradi survivors of the first war. At the end of the series both Hikaru and Minmay realize they are very different people, and Minmay accepts that Hikaru belongs with Misa, remaining a friend to the couple afterwards.〔The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Visual Story: "Yasashisa Sayonara". Pages 82 and 83. ''Macross Perfect Memory''. Reference Book. 260 A4 pages. Minori Library, Japan. Y2800. 1983, October 10.〕 In 2012, she embarks on the SDF-2 Megaroad-01 colony ship, which disappears 4 years later during its voyage towards the center of the Milky Way galaxy, becoming a legend in the ''Macross'' universe since then.〔''(Macross Chronicle )'' Issue 14.
