idol
A young entertainer who performs through a combination of singing and dancing, usually while wearing very showy or frilly idol clothes.
A number of game, manga and anime series are centered around idols, including Idolmaster, Love Live!, Aikatsu!, the Pretty series, Uta no Prince-sama, Macross, and Mahou no Tenshi Creamy Mami, the latter two being generally considered the start of idols in anime.
Fans dedicated to a single idol are participating in oshikatsu.
