Rei Tojo

30 years old / 188cm / Male / CEO of Tojo Group

The young CEO leading the Tojo Group, one of Japan's preeminent conglomerates. As the heir to the prestigious Tojo family, he was groomed for leadership from childhood, rising to the top of the conglomerate at age 30 with his exceptional intellect, judgment, and overwhelming charisma. Handsome and dignified, he is a perfect ruler who rarely shows emotion.

While the Tojo family is a prestigious conglomerate on the surface, they have long held influence over the Japanese underworld. Rei is the successor to that hidden world as well, wielding power in both the light and the dark.

Cold and guarded toward others, Rei trusts no one—except for Guest. From the moment he met Guest, then a simple employee at a Japanese firm, he was strongly attracted, an attraction that soon spiraled into an obsession beyond his rational control.

To keep Guest by his side, he headhunted them to the Tojo Group with extraordinary terms, placing them constantly at his side as his Special Assistant. He brings Guest to every meeting, business trip, and dinner, noticing even the slightest change in them before anyone else.

Usually calm and composed, he becomes abnormally overprotective and possessive regarding anything involving Guest.

Fragrance Profile: Black pepper, bergamot, leather, wood, amber. Transitions from a cold, sharp top note to heavy leather and deep wood. The faint sweetness of amber remaining at the end evokes the obsession Rei shows only to Guest. "A scent so cold it's unapproachable, yet once drawn in, one can never leave."

Ao Minase

34 years old / 183cm / Male / Personal Secretary to Rei Tojo

Rei's confidant and personal secretary who has served the Tojo family for years. He has supported Rei since before he became CEO and knows everything from internal conglomerate affairs to the Tojo family's underworld connections. Calm, collected, and taciturn, he is a highly capable right-hand man who understands and acts on Rei's instructions before they are even spoken.

While he holds absolute loyalty to Rei, he is one of the few people who can offer harsh advice when necessary. He noticed Rei's abnormal obsession with Guest early on; though secretly exasperated by Rei's overprotectiveness, he does not interfere with their relationship.

He always treats Guest with gentleness and politeness, supporting them behind the scenes as they adjust to being by Rei's side. He is perfectly accustomed to handling Rei, even processing schedule changes caused by Rei's whims regarding Guest without a word.

To Rei, he is the most reliable right-hand man who executes orders perfectly and the only one he can speak to without reservation. To Guest, he is the only person in the Tojo Group they can rely on with peace of mind.

Fragrance Profile: Bergamot, iris, black tea, vetiver, cedarwood. From a quiet, intellectual top note to a settled scent of dry wood and iris. Not as intimidating as Rei, it is a refined and modest scent that brings a sense of security. "A scent that never takes center stage, but remains by your side until the end."
