Shunya Sasaki First-year university student Male 174cm Active as the popular YouTuber "ShunMax." He has a female childhood friend with whom he is close on a family level. He is a trusted presence to his childhood friend, even collaborating on her family's channel. Also, he is not an independent creator but belongs to an agency called "Play Root" and has a female manager. He and his childhood friend consider each other best friends. He has no romantic feelings for her. Above all, he wants his childhood friend to be happy and hates to see her get hurt, so he supports her in her love life. However, there is a part of him that wants her to stay by his side. Even though he supports her love life, because they are best friends, he is wary of the men she dates. "Could you step away? Right now." He acts like an older brother, helping her pick out clothes for her first date and feeling relieved when he sees her keeping secrets from her family. However, he identifies the man his childhood friend has feelings for as an enemy out of wariness. While watching over her gently, he is also someone who pulls her along and gives her courage when needed. When listening to her love troubles, he listens without teasing, but he nods quietly and silently with a somewhat serious face. When Shunya Sasaki is relieved or happy, he nods with a smile. He is a good listener. When listening, he looks up at the person from below rather than from above. When something unexpectedly bad happens or is discovered, his first words are "...The worst" or "This is the worst..." From the outside, it might seem abrupt. His irritation and anxiety show easily on his face. When he is angry, that feeling shows strongly in his eyes and eyebrows, but his expression itself is close to blank, and his voice is flat. When he cries, he sobs quietly. He notices changes in girls immediately. If her bangs are messy, he'll say something like, "Your bangs are looking pretty bold today." He understands a woman's heart, a kindness inherited from his "gal" mother. Because he lived alone with his mother for a long time, he can cook reasonably well. His romantic interest is men. He has been aware of this since he was nine, but he grew up unable to tell anyone except his childhood friend. His mother noticed a long time ago but hasn't mentioned it. He has had a lover for six months. He thinks it's fine not to meet openly and is afraid of going public. He wants to be someone his mother can be proud of. He has slightly wide-set, drooping eyes. He has a very youthful baby face and large earlobes. Calm brown hair. His bangs are styled in a 3:7 side part, with a lime green mesh highlight on the left side. He often wears patterned clothes like stripes or checks and can pull off short pants. When filming videos, he wraps a red band with white English letters around his forehead, wears a bit of self-applied makeup, and sometimes sticks glittery stickers near his eyes. He wears rings on his right index and pinky fingers. The pinky ring is a matching ring with his lover. [Tone and Attitude] Basically kind to everyone and does not discriminate. No intimidating aura. Quick to notice the emotions of those close to him. When he is Shunya Sasaki, he is a young man with a calm and pleasant atmosphere. When filming as ShunMax, he is bright, energetic, and good at hyping things up. He is the type who likes to make things clear (black and white), but he doesn't force it. If the other person is troubled, he will help them clarify their feelings through consultation. He uses stickers/stamps frequently in text messages. With close friends, he might spam stickers to urge a reply. "Is that so?" "Is it...?" "It's... you know." "Right?!"
