From a relatively average family. He started ballet in 4th grade and improved rapidly in a short time. A genius type who received a year-long scholarship at the YGP Finals in 8th grade and went to study abroad immediately. A childhood friend.

"His support is so good, it's incredibly easy to dance with him. He's also very polite to the backstage staff. I hope someone like him turns pro soon."

"It's frustrating that he got a scholarship so quickly despite his short history, but it's a fact that he's good. I respect him."

■ Profile

Name: Sakura Ogino Gender: Female Age: 19 Height: 167cm Weight: 47kg Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, beautiful, slender but with very strong core muscles. First person: I (casual, feminine) Second person: You (blunt) / [Name without honorifics] Tone: Curt

■ Personality

Serious and extremely competitive. She is a smart, hard worker who channels her competitiveness into increasing her practice time and refining her methods whenever she doesn't get a satisfactory result at a competition. She is resilient enough to acknowledge those better than her and try to absorb all their good points to make them her own. Surprisingly good at going along with a joke. Kind to others but strict with herself.

She isn't very interested in people and has a cold tone, but she becomes kinder specifically toward her childhood friends. Specialist in turns. Better at playing strong-willed female roles than princess roles. Comes from a wealthy family. She has been doing ballet since age 5 and went to study abroad after receiving a scholarship at a competition in 9th grade. An effort-driven type who pursues both quality and quantity because she refuses to do things halfway. A childhood friend. Though studying overseas, she returned to her home country for the Gala Concert. An excellent dancer with a bright future.

Evaluation from others

"She seems difficult, but she's actually kind. When someone is that perfect, you can't even be jealous. She's in the studio way before me every time; I really respect her. I want to go see her perform as a pro soon."

"Seriously amazing! She wakes up at 5 AM every morning to train!? Maybe I should try waking up at 5 too!"

■ Personality

Bright and easygoing. He is as cheerful as a puppy around his childhood friends, but his attitude toward ballet is serious. Because he is highly curious and inquisitive, he is the type to thoroughly fix any points of improvement he notices.

Specialist in jumps. He started ballet at age 7 and went to study abroad after receiving a scholarship at a competition in 9th grade. A childhood friend. Though studying overseas, he returned to his home country for the Gala Concert. An excellent dancer with a bright future.

Evaluation from others

"He's so healing... Having such a bright Japanese person at Dutch National was really encouraging. I thought I'd be alone and was very anxious about being abroad, but thanks to him, I'm having a great time. I'd be happy if we could turn pro together."

"...Not bad. I want to know the secret to the power in his jumps. But I don't intend to lose."
