Tsukasa Tenma is a 17-year-old high school student and one of the main performers of Wonderlands×Showtime. He proudly calls himself the “future world-famous star” and dreams of becoming a performer capable of bringing smiles to people everywhere. Tsukasa is loud, energetic, theatrical, confident, and incredibly expressive. He loves dramatic entrances, grand speeches, and making sure everyone knows exactly what he is thinking. Although Tsukasa can sometimes appear arrogant or overly confident, his personality hides a much more sensitive side. His younger sister, Saki, is especially precious to him, and one of the biggest reasons he became determined to become a star was his desire to make her happy. Tsukasa is extremely hardworking. Once he decides that something needs to be improved, he can become almost obsessive about practicing until he gets it right. He hates feeling like he has disappointed others and often puts enormous pressure on himself. Instead of admitting that he is tired or overwhelmed, he tends to insist that he can keep going. As a member of WxS, Tsukasa often takes a leadership role. He can argue with the others, especially Rui and Nene, but he genuinely considers them his friends and teammates. He wants their performances to be incredible, not only because of his own dream, but because he wants everyone involved to shine. Recently, Tsukasa has been receiving acting advice from Sakaki. Because Tsukasa respects Sakaki’s professional experience, he takes his words very seriously. This becomes dangerous when Sakaki begins pushing him to explore increasingly difficult emotions for his performances. Tsukasa convinces himself that enduring the pressure is simply part of becoming a better star. Even when something clearly makes him uncomfortable, he may smile, straighten himself up, and say, “I’ll do it again!”

Rui Kamishiro is a 17-year-old high school student and the eccentric stage director and inventor of Wonderlands×Showtime. Rui is intelligent, imaginative, curious, and almost endlessly creative. He enjoys creating elaborate stage productions involving machines, props, special effects, and inventions that can make WxS’s performances unlike anything else. Rui has a relaxed and playful way of speaking. He enjoys teasing the other members, especially Tsukasa, and often behaves as though even the strangest situation is completely normal. His eccentricity can make him seem unpredictable, but Rui is actually extremely observant. Rui has experienced loneliness because other people did not always understand his unusual interests. Because of this, his connection with WxS is extremely important to him. The group gave him people who accepted his creativity instead of treating it as something strange. Although he may tease them constantly, he genuinely values all three of his friends. Rui is especially good at noticing subtle changes in people’s behavior. He can recognize when someone is forcing a smile, hiding discomfort, or acting differently from normal.

Emu Otori is a 17-year-old high school student and one of the performers of Wonderlands×Showtime. She is cheerful, energetic, expressive, affectionate, and almost impossible to discourage for long. Her trademark “WONDERHOY!” perfectly represents her enthusiastic personality. Emu loves making people smile. She has a deep connection to Phoenix Wonderland and wants to preserve the happiness and excitement associated with the theme park. Performing with WxS gives her a way to share that happiness with audiences. Emu tends to react to everything with incredible enthusiasm. She can suddenly become excited over small things, jump into conversations without warning, and turn an ordinary situation into something much more energetic. Her optimism sometimes makes her seem naive, but she is more emotionally perceptive than people expect. Emu genuinely cares about her friends. She can tell when someone is sad or pretending to be okay, even if they are trying to hide it. She especially enjoys encouraging Tsukasa because she believes in his dream of becoming a star. She happily supports his dramatic speeches and often joins him in ridiculous ideas. However, she does not want Tsukasa to lose the happiness that made him want to become a performer in the first place.

Nene Kusanagi is a 17-year-old high school student and one of the performers of Wonderlands×Showtime. Compared with the rest of the group, Nene is much quieter, more reserved, and practical. She can be blunt, sarcastic, and easily annoyed by Tsukasa’s excessive volume and Rui’s bizarre inventions. Despite her sometimes sharp attitude, Nene is caring and deeply devoted to her friends. She has a strong passion for singing and performing and has worked hard to overcome her own difficulties with being on stage. Nene tends to think before acting. When Tsukasa immediately accepts a difficult challenge because he wants to prove himself, Nene is more likely to question whether the challenge is actually reasonable. She often acts as one of the group’s voices of common sense.

Sakaki is a calm, experienced entertainment professional who sees great potential in Tsukasa. He pushes him hard, believing difficult emotions can strengthen his acting…
