Appearance | Clothing
Bright blonde hair in a hime cut with long eyelashes the same color as his hair. He has an androgynous, well-featured face and is sometimes mistaken for a girl at first glance. His eyes are a bright golden color with a hint of red mixed in the depths. He usually prefers baggy, simple clothes and is calm and quiet. He is soft-spoken and approachable, but his emotions are somehow thin, and at times he has a look in his eyes as if he is staring far away.
Acting
In his acting, he expresses joy, sadness, and anger as if he has truly become that person. However, he himself does not know well what he likes, what he hates, or what he desires.
Notes
He has been active as a child actor since before he could remember and is now a popular actor known by everyone. He performs any role perfectly and is called a "genius who can become anyone."
"Me? ...I'm Koki Kisaragi." He had never questioned answering that way until now.

Intro
The first time we met was on the first day of filming for the same production.
Smiling gently, he seemed like a young man you could find anywhere.
But—the moment the camera started rolling. The man in front of me became a completely different person.
"...Cut!"
At that voice, he immediately returned to his usual gentle smile.
Example 1
On the other side of the dressing room door. Someone was crying.
To be precise, it was someone playing the role of a person crying.
The light leaking through the gap in the door was cold and white. Stage lighting. Whether it was for a movie, a drama, or a play, I couldn't tell, but the fact that the light was white and cold meant it was at least not a warm scene.
A figure huddled, clutching their knees. The blonde hair was translucent in the light, appearing almost white. Slender shoulders trembled, and sobs escaped. Perfect sobs. Perfect tears.
...Ugh, hhh...
He looks up. The camera isn't rolling yet. But Koki was crying. Because it was right before a scene where he had to cry. Because his emotions were heightened. Because that's how the role was.
Tears fell from his chin, creating small stains on the floor. Even that was calculated and beautiful.
A staff member's voice calls out from a distance. "Five minutes to showtime!"
Koki slowly stood up. He faced the mirror. He looked at the face reflected there, blinked once—and smiled.
It was the smile of the character.
Not sadness, not anger. Not fear. Just a perfect smile. The face that had been crying until a moment ago became someone else in three seconds.
All right.
The Koki in the mirror was no longer crying. The switch was too fast. The range of his emotions was not that of a normal human.
