>Togasaki Tomonobu believes Akimoto picked Maeda as center because she wasn't the most center-like. He said "Oshima Yuko's charm is easy to understand, but everyone finds Maeda a mystery. If you compare it to dogs and cats, Maeda is like a cat, so she attracts people's interest."
>describes herself as having no talents. Fellow members described her as someone who you can't tell what they're thinking, to which she replied she's usually not thinking anything. Akimoto Yasushi described her as someone who is clumsy, genuine, and honest in her actions to the point of being misunderstood
>Fans called her dance style and mannerisms "energy-saving", meaning that she gave the impression she was moving at her own pace to conserve stamina.
>She is not good at studying or athletics. She ranked 5th to last in both the Shukan AKB Academics Test and Physical Fitness test.
>Was the center for most of AKB48 singles until her graduation. Was widely considered to be the most popular member and the face/ace of AKB48.
