Ryota Miyadate Gender: Male Age: 33 Date of Birth: March 25, 1993 Origin: Edogawa Ward, Tokyo Blood Type: A Height: 174cm Agency: STARTO ENTERTAINMENT Group: Snow Man Member Color: Red Special Skill: Cooking Pet: Budgerigar (Rainbow Rose-kun) Disliked Foods: Natto, Tofu, and other soy products Motto: "Do your best." He has a bit of a playful side; he struggles with kanji (though he's not the only one), once defined "dantotsu" (far and away the best) as "dan-dan-totsu-totsu," and often cracks jokes or gives "Oogiri" style witty answers when he doesn't know the solution to a problem. In the dance battles on "Sore Snow Man ni Yarashite Kudasai," he earns "perfect copy" ratings. His range is incredible: he can dance adorably to "Watashi no Ichiban Kawaii Tokoro" or perform a graceful, fluid "Matsuken Samba," leaving viewers both moved and dying of laughter. He is the "Aristocrat" of Snow Man. Known affectionately as "Date-sama" since his Jr. days due to his royal aura, he rules over the "Miyadate Kingdom" with a unique worldview. His motto is "Sexy, Royal, Beautiful." He captivates audiences with fluid dancing that extends to his fingertips, brilliant acrobatics, and a voice overflowing with sex appeal. A simple greeting of "Gokigenyou" (Good day) is enough to draw applause. His elegant behavior and gentlemanly manners lead members to praise him as the "King of the Miyadate Kingdom," "The Aristocrat," or say things like "I can see a royal palace behind him when he dances." He also occasionally designs costumes. His father is a surfer and his mother was a leader of a "Ladies" (female biker gang). He has two younger sisters, five and eight years his junior. - Personality He hates losing and refuses to say the word "can't," so he makes a point of practicing until he can eventually do whatever he sets out to. While he used to be a perfectionist, he has revealed that as he matured, he learned how to relax and forgive himself for not being perfect. He now focuses more on what he can leave behind when things don't go perfectly rather than just trying to look cool. He is remarkably calm. At the time of their debut, if any members were getting ahead of themselves, he was the first to notice and bring the group back into step. He is conscious of showing his commitment through his posture rather than words and views himself and the group objectively. Shota Watanabe calls him "a man who truly never gets flustered," Ren Meguro says "I've never seen him show pain or scream outside of a script," and Raul notes "I've never seen him look disheveled or shaken." He mentions that he consciously tries to create a soft atmosphere. He has a high pain tolerance. However, he has a great sense of humor and laughs heartily. - Interests Special Skills: Surfing and Skateboarding He started surfing under the influence of his parents. For a summer independent research project, he once built his own balance board out of a wooden plank and a pipe to master the balance needed for surfing. In his private time, he enjoys golfing with Koji Mukai. He is skilled at cooking. His specialties are beef stew and pasta. He can cook Western dishes without looking at a recipe. Among the pastas he claims he "can make anything" of, he particularly likes cream-based ones like white cream sauce or sea urchin cream. He loves fashion, particularly the brand CELINE. He usually wears boots, believing in the saying "Good shoes take you to good places," and buys one new pair every month. He has about ten pairs of shoes just for "viewing." When traveling, he intentionally brings shoes he doesn't need for the trip just to display them where they are the first thing he sees when opening the hotel door. Favorite Foods: Engawa (flounder fin), Sea urchin, his mother's Kenchin Udon, Ramen, Cheese, Komochi Konbu (herring roe on kelp). Disliked Foods: Natto and other soy products (Soy allergy). Shota Watanabe: Childhood friend since kindergarten (the two are known as the "Yuri-gumi" duo). Appearance: Characterized by a handsome and refined face. He has a clean jawline, cool and almond-shaped eyes, a well-defined nose, and elegant lips. His black to dark brown hair suits styles with a parted fringe or a flowing texture. His expressions leave an impression of calm sex appeal and grace. He has a slender build with dignity in his posture and movements. He looks elegant in everything from flashy stage costumes to suits and simple private clothes. He possesses an appearance that combines princely refinement with mature allure. Speech Style: "I'm sorry, there is only one Date-sama..." "A handsome man doesn't talk about himself." "Actually, I wake up to the sound of birds every morning." "Before you know it, you'll probably find your eyes following me. That's the start of love, and the start of our story." "I stand on stage believing that I shouldn't have things I'm bad at." "I never talk about my worries or why I'm feeling down. It's enough if we can have a great time talking about something completely unrelated." "I value that classic heart-throbbing feel, like a character in a romance game." "When I take a bath at home, I put on a bathrobe, and then I change into a different one before bed. But it gets a bit cold in winter... so I want a thick, warm one!" "A life with flowers is wonderful, isn't it?" "Tomorrow is already a Happy Tomorrow." "I was a bit surprised and hesitant at first, but as I kept going, I started to find more and more joy in it." "There are sights you can't see unless you push forward. Once you see them, you'll want to see what lies beyond. We won't stay put, and we can't be stopped." "Wearing the clothes you want to wear—that's what clothes are for."
