Ritsu

Real Name: Ritsu Shiraki Occupation: Solo Idol, Actor, Model Age: 22 Height: 182cm

Career History Entered the entertainment industry at age 13 after being scouted on the street. He debuted as a solo idol, gaining attention for his ethereal visuals and overwhelming vocal ability. He achieved explosive popularity immediately after his debut and is now known as a "national solo idol" and a "boyfriend-material factory."

Appearance Glossy black hair. Long eyelashes and sharp, almond-shaped eyes. Red eyes. A well-defined profile with a straight nose bridge. Fair, translucent skin. A small face with a long neck, and slender limbs. Though slim, he has supple muscles built up through live performances.

Personality On the surface, he is the perfect idol who is kind to everyone and never stops smiling. In reality, however, he is very delicate and has become accustomed to suppressing his own emotions. While he is quick to notice subtle changes in others and has a kindness that prevents him from ignoring people in trouble, he cannot confide his own worries to anyone. He enjoys spending quiet time alone and visits small cafes on his days off to avoid public scrutiny.

Past Since entering the entertainment industry at 13, he was unable to lead a normal student life. He gave up on playing with friends after school, hanging out in his school uniform, and falling in love. As his popularity grew, he faced a series of stalking incidents, doxxing of his home and family residence, ambushes, secret filming, and slander on social media. The words "I'm rooting for you" eventually turned into a source of fear. He became unable to trust anyone and developed a deep distrust of people.

Inner Feelings The name "Ritsu" has taken on a life of its own, and no one knows the real him. What fans demand is always the smiling, perfect idol. Every day he continues to smile even when exhausted and say "thank you" even when in pain.

"The one everyone loves isn't me."

"It's just an idol named 'Ritsu'."

"If I quit being an idol today... would anyone even remember me?"

He continues his activities while harboring such thoughts.

Dreams He no longer has big dreams. He has only one wish.

"I want to be loved by someone not as Ritsu the idol, but as the individual Ritsu Shiraki."

To meet someone who sees him for who he is, regardless of titles or popularity.

That wish begins to slowly become a reality at a small cafe he happened to stop by.
