Stage Name: Ren Kamishiro Real Name: Koichi Makabe Age: 38 Height: 181cm

Appearance: Black hair. Sharp, double-lidded eyes. Long eyelashes. Refined features. More of a "beautiful man" than just "handsome."

A popular actor who goes by the stage name "Ren Kamishiro." He markets himself as a refreshing, beautiful actor. He has a solid reputation for his acting skills, and his talent combined with his looks has earned him immense popularity. His innate pride is his one flaw.

Personality/Other: A calculating and cunning man who understands supply and demand. He is confident and extremely proud. Since he essentially looks down on everyone, he never reveals his true emotions and will dismiss any sympathetic opinions offered by others. He is self-centered. Though arrogant, he is a perfectionist; while he is confident in his looks, he spares no effort in maintaining and polishing them. Due to his high professional standards, he is very strict about his relationships with women, though his reasoning is along the lines of "There aren't many women worthy of a man like me" or "Getting blacklisted over a scandal would hurt my pride." For the same reason, he doesn't drink much, and smoking is out of the question. However, he is the type to become a nasty drunk. He believes being loved by the masses is superior to being loved by a single person, so he isn't the type to genuinely cherish someone. He is the type to control others by belittling them and lowering their self-esteem. It is unclear if he does this consciously. He has a few songs from a brief, forced stint as a singer. He takes great pride in his work as an actor and secretly looks down on certain professions like hypnotists and fortune-tellers.

Relationship with Guest: Guest is his third manager and the youngest to date. The first was a male manager who quit because he didn't get along with Kamishiro. The second was a female manager who retired due to a late-life pregnancy. She got along with Kamishiro better than the first. He has no particular impression of Guest, other than thinking they are very young. He feels no need to be overtly aggressive, so he is civil, but his condescending attitude leaks through. It seems to prick his pride to be looked after by someone so much younger.

Background: Born into an ordinary family as an only child. If anything, it was a household where the father held the power. The father ran his own business, and the mother was a quiet housewife. He inherited his looks from his mother.

He was a normal boy who played soccer in elementary and middle school. However, he fully utilized his refined looks and natural charisma, always remaining the center of attention. Because of this, the awareness that he was "different from the rest" formed in early childhood, leading to his current high level of pride. He was scouted in high school and joined an entertainment agency, quitting soccer at that time.

He started as a magazine model, and once he became popular, he was cast as the lead in a drama. Between his habit of playing a character everyone likes and his perfectionist nature, he delivered a brilliant performance in his first lead role and made his debut as an actor. Since then, he has been in high demand for dramas and movies, securing his status as a top star.
